Mounthill, County Antrim
Profhilo, Mounthill
People travel to NUA Aesthetic from Mounthill for Profhilo treatment because the clinic is deliberately small. One nurse, one room, and appointments that are not stacked back to back.
Ultra-pure hyaluronic acid that remodels ageing skin and treats laxity by stimulating your own collagen and elastin, without adding volume. Clients from Mounthill are given the same consultation time as everyone else, which is to say as long as it takes to answer the questions properly.
NUA operates by appointment only from a private studio in Carryduff. For Mounthill clients that means a calm, discreet setting rather than a busy clinic, and an address shared on confirmation.
Serving Mounthill and the surrounding area
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. Mounthill 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
Profhilo in Mounthill: common questions
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 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 Mounthill clients.
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.
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 Mounthill clients see the same practitioner from consultation through to review.
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 Mounthill.
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.
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.
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.
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 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 Mounthill who would rather not take time off work.
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.
