Profhilo for Crumlin and County Antrim

Profhilo clients from Crumlin are seen at NUA's private studio in Carryduff. No waiting room, no rotating practitioners, and no pressure to book anything on the day.

Ultra-pure hyaluronic acid that remodels ageing skin and treats laxity by stimulating your own collagen and elastin, without adding volume. Clients from Crumlin are given the same consultation time as everyone else, which is to say as long as it takes to answer the questions properly.

NUA operates by appointment only from a private studio in Carryduff. For Crumlin clients that means a calm, discreet setting rather than a busy clinic, and an address shared on confirmation.

A nurse-led approach

Consultations are included, unhurried and honest. If Profhilo 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 Crumlin clients have left a first appointment with a skincare plan and no treatment booked.

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

Questions Crumlin clients ask about Profhilo treatment

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.

How long do results last?

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

Is there downtime?

Small bumps at the injection sites typically last 12 to 24 hours. Beyond that there is very little to notice. Many people book a treatment and carry on with their day.

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 Crumlin who would rather not take time off work.

How long do results last?

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

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.

Can I combine Profhilo treatment with other treatments?

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.

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

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 exactly does Profhilo do?

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.

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.
