Castlewellan, County Down
Polynucleotides in Castlewellan
Castlewellan 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.
NUA operates by appointment only from a private studio in Carryduff. For Castlewellan clients that means a calm, discreet setting rather than a busy clinic, and an address shared on confirmation.
Why Castlewellan 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 Castlewellan 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
What Castlewellan clients want to know about polynucleotide treatment
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.
Are polynucleotides suitable if I have sensitive skin?
Often yes. Because they support barrier repair rather than aggressively resurfacing, they are frequently a good option for reactive skin. This is assessed individually at consultation.
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 Castlewellan clients see the same practitioner from consultation through to review.
How long do the results last?
Typically six to nine months following a full course, with maintenance sessions recommended to sustain the improvement.
How long do results last?
Results typically last six to nine months. Maintenance is discussed at your review so you can plan around it.
How do they compare with Profhilo?
Both are biostimulators rather than fillers, but they work differently. Polynucleotides focus on cellular repair and skin regeneration. Profhilo is hyaluronic acid based and focuses on deep hydration and laxity. Lauren will recommend one over the other, or a sequence of both, depending on what your skin actually needs.
What if polynucleotide treatment is not right for me?
Then Lauren will say so at the consultation and talk through what would suit your skin better. Being told no is a reasonable outcome of an honest assessment, and it happens regularly.
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.
How much does polynucleotide treatment cost?
Pricing is listed openly on this page and is the same for all clients regardless of where they travel from. There is no separate charge for the consultation and no call-out or travel fee for Castlewellan clients.
Can polynucleotides be used under the eyes?
Yes, and it is one of the areas where they perform best. The under-eye skin is thin and often crepey, and polynucleotides improve quality and resilience there without adding the volume that filler would.
Is there downtime?
Minimal. You may have small bumps, redness or mild swelling for 24 to 48 hours. Most people are comfortable going about their normal day, though many prefer to book before a quiet evening.
