Moneyglass, County Antrim
Polynucleotides, Moneyglass
People travel to NUA Aesthetic from Moneyglass for polynucleotide treatment because the clinic is deliberately small. One nurse, one room, and appointments that are not stacked back to back.
The treatment itself: injectable biostimulators derived from purified DNA fragments that trigger your skin's own collagen and elastin production. What that means in practice is discussed at your consultation, in plain terms.
NUA operates by appointment only from a private studio in Carryduff. For Moneyglass clients that means a calm, discreet setting rather than a busy clinic, and an address shared on confirmation.
What to expect as a Moneyglass client
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. Moneyglass 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 Moneyglass
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 Moneyglass who would rather not take time off work.
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 results last?
Results typically last six to nine months. Maintenance is discussed at your review so you can plan around it.
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 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.
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.
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.
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 Moneyglass clients.
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.
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.
