Book ConsultationAbout Polynucleotides

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 Drumbo clients that means a calm, discreet setting rather than a busy clinic, and an address shared on confirmation.

Serving Drumbo and the surrounding area

The clinical background matters. An NMC registration means accountability, record keeping and a duty of care that a beauty qualification alone does not carry. For Drumbo clients considering polynucleotide treatment, that is worth checking wherever you end up going.

What Polynucleotides involves

  1. Skin assessment

    Lauren assesses skin thickness, hydration, barrier condition and the areas that concern you, then confirms whether polynucleotides are the right starting point.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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

Questions Drumbo clients ask about polynucleotide treatment

Can I combine polynucleotide treatment with other treatments?

Yes. Polynucleotides sequences well with several other treatments, and Lauren will plan the order so each one has room to work rather than doing everything at once.

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 Drumbo clients see the same practitioner from consultation through to review.

How many sessions will I need?

Usually three to four sessions spaced about two to four weeks apart. The effect is cumulative, so the course is what delivers the result. A single session on its own will not do much.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 I book polynucleotide treatment from Drumbo?

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.
