Larne, County Antrim
Profhilo for Larne and County Antrim
People travel to NUA Aesthetic from Larne for Profhilo treatment because the clinic is deliberately small. One nurse, one room, and appointments that are not stacked back to back.
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 Glenoe, Ballystrudder, Ballygalley and the surrounding County Antrim area. The exact address is sent once your appointment is confirmed.
Booking from Larne
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 Larne clients considering Profhilo treatment, that is worth checking wherever you end up going.
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 Larne clients want to know about Profhilo treatment
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 Larne who would rather not take time off work.
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 Larne clients see the same practitioner from consultation through to review.
Can Profhilo be used on the neck?
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.
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.
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 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.
Where exactly is the clinic if I am travelling from Larne?
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.
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.
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.
