Polynucleotides, Toome

People travel to NUA Aesthetic from Toome for polynucleotide treatment because the clinic is deliberately small. One nurse, one room, and appointments that are not stacked back to back.

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.

The studio is in Carryduff, County Down, and also sees clients from Derrycrin, Moneyglass, Glenone and the surrounding County Antrim area. The exact address is sent once your appointment is confirmed.

Booking from Toome

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 Toome 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 questions, answered for Toome

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 many sessions will I need?

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.

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.

Is there any downtime?

Minimal. Small bumps and mild redness for 24 to 48 hours. Aftercare guidance is given at the appointment, and Lauren is contactable afterwards if anything concerns you.

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 Toome clients.

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 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 Toome who would rather not take time off work.

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.

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.

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 long do the results last?

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