Derrytrasna, County Armagh

Profhilo, Derrytrasna

People travel to NUA Aesthetic from Derrytrasna for Profhilo treatment because the clinic is deliberately small. One nurse, one room, and appointments that are not stacked back to back.

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.

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

Booking from Derrytrasna

The clinical background matters. An NMC registration means accountability, record keeping and a duty of care that a beauty qualification alone does not carry. For Derrytrasna clients considering Profhilo treatment, that is worth checking wherever you end up going.

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 Derrytrasna clients ask about Profhilo treatment

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

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.

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.

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.

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 Derrytrasna who would rather not take time off work.

How long do results last?

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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