Coagh, County Tyrone

Profhilo, Coagh

If you are looking into Profhilo treatment around Coagh, the first thing worth knowing is that NUA is a private nurse-led studio rather than a salon or a high street chain.

In short: ultra-pure hyaluronic acid that remodels ageing skin and treats laxity by stimulating your own collagen and elastin, without adding volume. Lauren will tell you if it is not the right treatment for you, which happens more often than you might expect.

Appointments run from a private home studio in Carryduff. Coagh clients often book alongside neighbours from Drummullan and Ardboe, and parking is straightforward.

A nurse-led approach

Treatments are carried out in a private home studio rather than a clinic floor, which most Coagh clients say is the part they did not expect to value. There is no reception, no overlap with other appointments, and no rush at the end.

What Profhilo involves

  1. Assessment

    Lauren assesses skin laxity, hydration and texture, and confirms Profhilo is the right choice rather than a volumising treatment.

  2. Treatment

    Five precise injection points per side, placed at recognised anatomical positions. The product then spreads naturally through the tissue. The appointment takes around thirty minutes.

  3. Second session

    A second treatment four weeks later. Two sessions is the standard protocol and both are needed for the full effect.

  4. Maintenance

    Results usually hold for six to nine months. Most people maintain with a single session every six months.

Who it suits

  • Skin that feels dehydrated no matter what you put on it
  • Crepey texture on the face, neck or decolletage
  • Loss of firmness and elasticity rather than loss of volume
  • Fine lines and wrinkles driven by poor skin quality
  • Anyone wanting improvement without any change to face shape

Profhilo in Coagh: common questions

What age is Profhilo suitable for?

There is no set age. It is used both preventatively in people in their late twenties and thirties and correctively in older skin. Suitability depends on skin condition rather than birth date.

Where exactly is the clinic if I am travelling from Coagh?

The studio is in Carryduff, County Down. It is a private home studio rather than a high street clinic, so the full address is sent on booking confirmation along with parking guidance.

Does it hurt?

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

Can I have Profhilo alongside lines and wrinkles treatment?

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

How many treatments will I need?

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.

How does it compare with polynucleotides?

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.

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 Coagh clients see the same practitioner from consultation through to review.

Will it make my face look bigger or puffy?

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.

Do I need a consultation before Profhilo treatment?

Yes. Every treatment includes a consultation so Lauren can assess your skin and confirm the plan is right for you. It is included in the appointment rather than charged separately.

What if Profhilo 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.

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 Coagh who would rather not take time off work.
