Profhilo in Ballynure

Yes, and it is one of its strengths. The neck and decolletage are areas where volumising treatments tend to look wrong, but bio-remodelling improves crepey texture and laxity there very effectively.

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.

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

Yes. Profhilo 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.

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.

Lauren, every time. She is an NMC registered nurse and CIDESCO qualified skin specialist. There is no rotating team, so Ballynure clients see the same practitioner from consultation through to review.

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

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

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

No. While it contains high-concentration hyaluronic acid, it has no chemical cross-linking agents, so it spreads beneath the skin rather than holding a shape. It improves firmness and texture without physically altering your face shape or adding volume.

Yes. They address completely different things, one skin quality and one muscle movement, so they work well together. Lauren will space them appropriately.

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.
