Profhilo for Derrymore and County Antrim

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

The treatment itself: ultra-pure hyaluronic acid that remodels ageing skin and treats laxity by stimulating your own collagen and elastin, without adding volume. What that means in practice is discussed at your consultation, in plain terms.

Appointments run from a private home studio in Carryduff. Derrymore clients often book alongside neighbours from Moira and Dollingstown, and parking is straightforward.

Booking from Derrymore

Treatments are carried out in a private home studio rather than a clinic floor, which most Derrymore 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 questions, answered for Derrymore

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.

How much does Profhilo treatment cost?

Pricing is listed openly on this page and is the same for all clients regardless of where they travel from. There is no separate charge for the consultation and no call-out or travel fee for Derrymore clients.

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.

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.

Is Profhilo a filler?

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.

Is there any downtime?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 Derrymore who would rather not take time off work.

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

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.
