Profhilo, Ballyeaston

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

There are only ten injection points in total, five per side, so it is quick. Most people describe brief discomfort rather than pain.

Profhilo works primarily through deep hydration and a lifting effect on laxity. Polynucleotides work primarily through cellular repair and regeneration. Where skin is thin, fragile or damaged, polynucleotides often come first. Where the main issue is laxity and dehydration, Profhilo is usually the better starting point.

It is an injectable hyaluronic acid treatment that acts as an internal moisturiser, stimulating your skin to produce its own collagen and elastin. This improves firmness, texture and overall hydration without changing your facial structure.

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.

No. Because it is non-volumising, it does not add fullness. The change people notice is a firmer, better-hydrated quality to the skin rather than any alteration in shape.

Usually six to nine months, which makes it a strong option for long-term skin quality maintenance rather than a short-lived fix.

Yes, parking is straightforward at the studio, which is one of the practical advantages over a town centre clinic for anyone driving in from Ballyeaston.

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.

Two treatments to start, spaced four weeks apart, followed by maintenance every six months. Both initial sessions are needed, one on its own will not deliver the full effect.

NUA runs by appointment only with flexible scheduling, including times outside standard working hours. That tends to suit clients travelling from Ballyeaston who would rather not take time off work.

Minimal. Small bumps at injection points for 12 to 24 hours. Aftercare guidance is given at the appointment, and Lauren is contactable afterwards if anything concerns you.
