Polynucleotides in Gracehill

Choosing where to have polynucleotide treatment done matters more than most marketing admits. For clients in Gracehill, NUA offers something specific: every appointment is with Lauren, an NMC registered nurse, from assessment through to aftercare.

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

A nurse-led approach

Treatments are carried out in a private home studio rather than a clinic floor, which most Gracehill clients say is the part they did not expect to value. There is no reception, no overlap with other appointments, and no rush at the end.

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 Gracehill clients ask about polynucleotide treatment

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 are the appointment times like?

NUA runs by appointment only with flexible scheduling, including times outside standard working hours. That tends to suit clients travelling from Gracehill who would rather not take time off work.

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.

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.

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 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 Gracehill?

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.

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

Where exactly is the clinic if I am travelling from Gracehill?

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.
