Polynucleotides in Annalong
Annalong sits within easy reach of the NUA studio in Carryduff, which is where polynucleotide treatment appointments for County Down clients are carried out.
In short: injectable biostimulators derived from purified DNA fragments that trigger your skin's own collagen and elastin production. Lauren will tell you if it is not the right treatment for you, which happens more often than you might expect.
The studio is in Carryduff, County Down, and also sees clients from Castlewellan, Annaclone, Atticall and the surrounding County Down area. The exact address is sent once your appointment is confirmed.
Why Annalong clients choose NUA
Consultations are included, unhurried and honest. If polynucleotide treatment is not the right treatment for your skin, or not the right treatment yet, you will be told so rather than sold something. Several Annalong clients have left a first appointment with a skincare plan and no treatment booked.
What Polynucleotides involves
Skin assessment
Lauren assesses skin thickness, hydration, barrier condition and the areas that concern you, then confirms whether polynucleotides are the right starting point.
Treatment
A series of small injections placed across the treatment area using a very fine needle. The appointment takes around forty-five minutes including preparation.
The course
Three to four sessions spaced two to four weeks apart. The regenerative effect is cumulative, so the course matters more than any single session.
Maintenance
Results typically hold for six to nine months, after which a single maintenance session keeps the improvement in place.
Who it suits
- Dull or tired-looking skin that no longer bounces back
- Thin or fragile skin, including the delicate under-eye area
- Early signs of ageing where structure matters more than volume
- Fine lines driven by skin quality rather than muscle movement
- A damaged or reactive skin barrier
Polynucleotides in Annalong: common questions
Are they safe for all skin types?
Polynucleotides are biocompatible and generally very well tolerated, which makes them suitable for most skin types following a thorough consultation. Lauren assesses your suitability at your first appointment.
What should I do before my appointment?
Come with clean skin and no make-up if possible, avoid alcohol the night before to reduce bruising risk, and let Lauren know about any medication or supplements you take, particularly blood thinners.
Where exactly is the clinic if I am travelling from Annalong?
The studio is in Carryduff, County Down. It is a private home studio rather than a high street clinic, so the full address is sent on booking confirmation along with parking guidance.
Can I combine polynucleotides with other treatments?
Yes. They pair particularly well with microneedling and with lines and wrinkles treatment, since they address different things. Lauren will sequence treatments so each one has room to work.
How long do the results last?
Typically six to nine months following a full course, with maintenance sessions recommended to sustain the improvement.
Who will carry out my treatment?
Lauren, every time. She is an NMC registered nurse and CIDESCO qualified skin specialist. There is no rotating team, so Annalong clients see the same practitioner from consultation through to review.
Does it hurt?
There is some discomfort, as with any injectable treatment, but the needles are very fine and the sensation is brief. Most people find it very manageable.
How do I book polynucleotide treatment from Annalong?
Booking is through the online system, where you can pick a consultation or treatment slot that suits you. Lauren confirms the appointment and sends the studio address. You can also call or message if you would rather talk it through first.
Do I need a consultation before polynucleotide treatment?
Yes. Every treatment includes a consultation so Lauren can assess your skin and confirm the plan is right for you. It is included in the appointment rather than charged separately.
Is there any downtime?
Minimal. Small bumps and mild redness for 24 to 48 hours. Aftercare guidance is given at the appointment, and Lauren is contactable afterwards if anything concerns you.
Are polynucleotides the same as filler?
No. They do not add volume or change your face shape. Filler sits in the skin and creates structure physically. Polynucleotides stimulate your own skin to repair and rebuild, so the change comes from your own tissue rather than from the product.
