Polynucleotides in Magherafelt

Magherafelt sits within easy reach of the NUA studio in Carryduff, which is where polynucleotide treatment appointments for County Derry clients are carried out.

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.

NUA operates by appointment only from a private studio in Carryduff. For Magherafelt clients that means a calm, discreet setting rather than a busy clinic, and an address shared on confirmation.

A nurse-led approach

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 Magherafelt clients have left a first appointment with a skincare plan and no treatment booked.

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

Polynucleotides in Magherafelt: common questions

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.

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.

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.

Do you offer polynucleotide treatment to clients in Magherafelt?

Yes. NUA Aesthetic treats clients from across County Derry, including Magherafelt. Treatments are carried out at the private studio in Carryduff, and the address is confirmed when you book.

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.

How long do the results last?

Typically six to nine months following a full course, with maintenance sessions recommended to sustain the improvement.

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.

How do I book polynucleotide treatment from Magherafelt?

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.

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.

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 Magherafelt clients.

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 Magherafelt who would rather not take time off work.
