Straid, County Antrim
Nurse-led Profhilo treatment in Straid
People travel to NUA Aesthetic from Straid for Profhilo treatment because the clinic is deliberately small. One nurse, one room, and appointments that are not stacked back to back.
The treatment itself: ultra-pure hyaluronic acid that remodels ageing skin and treats laxity by stimulating your own collagen and elastin, without adding volume. What that means in practice is discussed at your consultation, in plain terms.
Appointments run from a private home studio in Carryduff. Straid clients often book alongside neighbours from Mallusk and Ballyeaston, and parking is straightforward.
What to expect as a Straid client
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 Straid 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 Straid clients ask about Profhilo treatment
How long do results last?
Results usually last six to nine months. Maintenance is discussed at your review so you can plan around it.
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.
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.
Do you offer Profhilo treatment to clients in Straid?
Yes. NUA Aesthetic treats clients from across County Antrim, including Straid. Treatments are carried out at the private studio in Carryduff, and the address is confirmed when you book.
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 Straid.
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.
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.
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.
Where exactly is the clinic if I am travelling from Straid?
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.
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.
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.
