Polynucleotides in Strangford

Usually three to four sessions spaced about two to four weeks apart. The effect is cumulative, so the course is what delivers the result. A single session on its own will not do much.

Results typically last six to nine months. Maintenance is discussed at your review so you can plan around it.

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.
