Sandholes, County Tyrone
Nurse-led polynucleotide treatment in Sandholes
There is no shortage of places offering polynucleotide treatment across County Tyrone. What differs is who is holding the needle and how much time they give you.
Injectable biostimulators derived from purified DNA fragments that trigger your skin's own collagen and elastin production. Clients from Sandholes are given the same consultation time as everyone else, which is to say as long as it takes to answer the questions properly.
Appointments run from a private home studio in Carryduff. Sandholes clients often book alongside neighbours from Moygashel and Tullywiggan, and parking is straightforward.
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. Sandholes 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 Sandholes: common questions
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 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.
How long do results last?
Results typically last six to nine months. Maintenance is discussed at your review so you can plan around it.
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 Sandholes clients see the same practitioner from consultation through to review.
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.
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 Sandholes clients.
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.
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.
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.
How do I book polynucleotide treatment from Sandholes?
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.
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.
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.
