Profhilo, Dundrum

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.

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.

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.

NUA runs by appointment only with flexible scheduling, including times outside standard working hours. That tends to suit clients travelling from Dundrum who would rather not take time off work.

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.

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

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.

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 Dundrum clients.

Yes. NUA Aesthetic treats clients from across County Down, including Dundrum. Treatments are carried out at the private studio in Carryduff, and the address is confirmed when you book.

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.

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.

Lauren, every time. She is an NMC registered nurse and CIDESCO qualified skin specialist. There is no rotating team, so Dundrum clients see the same practitioner from consultation through to review.
