Maghera, County Derry
Profhilo, Maghera
There is no shortage of places offering Profhilo treatment across County Derry. What differs is who is holding the needle and how much time they give you.
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.
Appointments run from a private home studio in Carryduff. Maghera clients often book alongside neighbours from Desertmartin and Knockcloghrim, and parking is straightforward.
A nurse-led approach
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 Maghera 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
Questions Maghera clients ask about Profhilo treatment
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.
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.
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.
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.
Where exactly is the clinic if I am travelling from Maghera?
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.
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 Maghera.
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.
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.
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.
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.
How long do results last?
Results usually last six to nine months. Maintenance is discussed at your review so you can plan around it.
