Profhilo for Gilford and County Down

Gilford sits within easy reach of the NUA studio in Carryduff, which is where Profhilo treatment appointments for County Down clients are carried out.

In short: ultra-pure hyaluronic acid that remodels ageing skin and treats laxity by stimulating your own collagen and elastin, without adding volume. Lauren will tell you if it is not the right treatment for you, which happens more often than you might expect.

The studio is in Carryduff, County Down, and also sees clients from Loughbrickland, Poyntzpass, Dollingstown and the surrounding County Down area. The exact address is sent once your appointment is confirmed.

A nurse-led approach

Treatments are carried out in a private home studio rather than a clinic floor, which most Gilford 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 in Gilford: common questions

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

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 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.

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.

Do you offer Profhilo treatment to clients in Gilford?

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.
