Derrymacash, County Armagh

Profhilo, Derrymacash

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

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

The studio is in Carryduff, County Down, and also sees clients from Bleary, Derrytrasna, Aghalee and the surrounding County Armagh area. The exact address is sent once your appointment is confirmed.

Booking from Derrymacash

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 Derrymacash 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

Profhilo in Derrymacash: common questions

Is there parking available?

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

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.

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.

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 Derrymacash who would rather not take time off work.

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

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.

Can Profhilo be used on the neck?

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.

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.

Is Profhilo safe for all skin types?

It is one of the most biocompatible treatments available, because it is a highly purified form of hyaluronic acid with no chemical cross-linking agents. That makes it extremely well tolerated across most skin types.

How long do results last?

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