Greenisland, County Antrim
Profhilo in Greenisland
If you are looking into Profhilo treatment around Greenisland, the first thing worth knowing is that NUA is a private nurse-led studio rather than a salon or a high street chain.
Ultra-pure hyaluronic acid that remodels ageing skin and treats laxity by stimulating your own collagen and elastin, without adding volume. Every plan starts with a proper assessment rather than a price list, because the right treatment depends entirely on what your skin is actually doing.
Appointments run from a private home studio in Carryduff. Greenisland clients often book alongside neighbours from Millbank and Ballylinney, and parking is straightforward.
What to expect as a Greenisland client
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. Greenisland 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 Greenisland clients want to know about Profhilo treatment
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.
How long do results last?
Results usually last six to nine months. Maintenance is discussed at your review so you can plan around it.
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 Greenisland clients see the same practitioner from consultation through to review.
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
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 Greenisland.
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.
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.
