Curran, County Derry
Polynucleotides, Curran
If you are looking into polynucleotide treatment around Curran, the first thing worth knowing is that NUA is a private nurse-led studio rather than a salon or a high street chain.
Injectable biostimulators derived from purified DNA fragments that trigger your skin's own collagen and elastin production. Every plan starts with a proper assessment rather than a price list, because the right treatment depends entirely on what your skin is actually doing.
Appointments run from a private home studio in Carryduff. Curran clients often book alongside neighbours from Clady and Knockcloghrim, and parking is straightforward.
Serving Curran and the surrounding area
Lauren is a registered Children's Nurse who graduated with First Class Honours from Northumbria University, and holds CIDESCO and ITEC qualifications in beauty therapy. That combination is unusual, and it is why polynucleotide treatment here is treated as a clinical decision first and a cosmetic one second. Curran clients see the same practitioner at every appointment.
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 questions, answered for Curran
How long do the results last?
Typically six to nine months following a full course, with maintenance sessions recommended to sustain the improvement.
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 Curran clients.
How long do results last?
Results typically last six to nine months. Maintenance is discussed at your review so you can plan around it.
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 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.
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.
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.
How do I book polynucleotide treatment from Curran?
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.
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.
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.
