Profhilo for Glenarm and County Antrim
If you are looking into Profhilo treatment around Glenarm, the first thing worth knowing is that NUA is a private nurse-led studio rather than a salon or a high street chain.
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.
NUA operates by appointment only from a private studio in Carryduff. For Glenarm clients that means a calm, discreet setting rather than a busy clinic, and an address shared on confirmation.
A nurse-led approach
Lauren is a registered Children's Nurse who graduated with First Class Honours from Northumbria University, and holds CIDESCO and ITEC qualifications in beauty therapy. That combination is unusual, and it is why Profhilo treatment here is treated as a clinical decision first and a cosmetic one second. Glenarm clients see the same practitioner at every appointment.
What Profhilo involves
Assessment
Lauren assesses skin laxity, hydration and texture, and confirms Profhilo is the right choice rather than a volumising treatment.
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.
Second session
A second treatment four weeks later. Two sessions is the standard protocol and both are needed for the full effect.
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
What Glenarm clients want to know about Profhilo treatment
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 age is Profhilo suitable for?
There is no set age. It is used both preventatively in people in their late twenties and thirties and correctively in older skin. Suitability depends on skin condition rather than birth date.
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.
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 Glenarm clients.
Do you offer Profhilo treatment to clients in Glenarm?
Yes. NUA Aesthetic treats clients from across County Antrim, including Glenarm. Treatments are carried out at the private studio in Carryduff, and the address is confirmed when you book.
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 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.
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.
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.
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 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 Glenarm.
