Shrigley, County Down
Profhilo, Shrigley
Shrigley sits within easy reach of the NUA studio in Carryduff, which is where Profhilo treatment appointments for County Down clients are carried out.
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 Shrigley clients that means a calm, discreet setting rather than a busy clinic, and an address shared on confirmation.
Why Shrigley clients choose NUA
Consultations are included, unhurried and honest. If Profhilo treatment is not the right treatment for your skin, or not the right treatment yet, you will be told so rather than sold something. Several Shrigley clients have left a first appointment with a skincare plan and no treatment booked.
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 Shrigley clients ask about Profhilo treatment
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.
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.
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 Shrigley clients see the same practitioner from consultation through to review.
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.
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.
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.
Where exactly is the clinic if I am travelling from Shrigley?
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 Shrigley.
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.
