Polynucleotides, Dundrum
People travel to NUA Aesthetic from Dundrum for polynucleotide treatment because the clinic is deliberately small. One nurse, one room, and appointments that are not stacked back to back.
Injectable biostimulators derived from purified DNA fragments that trigger your skin's own collagen and elastin production. Clients from Dundrum are given the same consultation time as everyone else, which is to say as long as it takes to answer the questions properly.
NUA operates by appointment only from a private studio in Carryduff. For Dundrum clients that means a calm, discreet setting rather than a busy clinic, and an address shared on confirmation.
A nurse-led approach
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. Dundrum 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 in Dundrum: common questions
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 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 Dundrum clients.
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.
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.
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.
Where exactly is the clinic if I am travelling from Dundrum?
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 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.
What exactly do polynucleotides do?
They are injectable skin boosters made from highly purified DNA fragments that help repair, hydrate and improve skin quality from within. They work at a cellular level by up-regulating fibroblast cells, triggering natural collagen and elastin production while actively neutralising free radicals.
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.
