These four non-surgical treatments will transform your skin

In recent years, the conversation around skincare has evolved.

Where once the focus was simply on looking good, today individuals are increasingly conscious of skin health, seeking not only the science behind it but also ways to maintain their skin’s quality, resilience and vitality as it changes over time.

In many ways, this can increase concern. Ageing, weight fluctuations, and external factors such as environmental pollution can all impact skin volume, firmness and overall radiance. These changes can feel like an uphill battle, but there is hope.

With a career spanning 25 years, Kerry Hanaphy has an undeniable reputation as one of Ireland’s finest aestheticians. Her original South William Street clinic will celebrate 10 years of business in April, while she intends to add more locations to a portfolio that already has hubs like Cork city.

Her clinics offer a suite of innovative treatments designed to lift, tighten and rejuvenate the skin, restoring both volume and vitality. What was once achievable only through surgery can now be addressed through a bespoke, non-invasive regime tailored to each individual’s needs.

Here, Kerry takes us through some of the most popular and effective treatments that help her clients look and feel their best at every stage of life.

Profhilo and polynucleotide injections

“These advanced skin boosters work at a cellular level to restore hydration, elasticity and vitality,” Kerry explains. “Profhilo, a hyaluronic acid-based treatment, plumps and smooths the skin while encouraging collagen and elastin production. Polynucleotide injections, derived from DNA fragments, help repair damaged tissue, improve skin texture and restore volume lost due to ageing or significant weight loss. Together, they deliver deep, lasting hydration, leaving the skin looking refreshed, supple and naturally youthful. Ideal for delicate areas such as under-eyes, cheeks and jawlines, they target early signs of ageing before deeper sagging occurs.”

Sculptra

“Sculptra is a revolutionary bio-stimulator that gradually restores facial volume by stimulating the body’s natural collagen production,” she explains. “Unlike traditional fillers, which offer immediate but temporary results, Sculptra works over weeks to months, creating a subtle, long-lasting lift. It’s particularly effective for hollowing in the cheeks, temples and under-eye areas, as well as improving skin thickness and elasticity. By rebuilding structural support from within, Sculptra creates results that feel natural but enduring.”

Morpheus8

“Morpheus8 combines microneedling with radio-frequency energy to target the deeper layers of the skin,” Kerry says. “Tiny needles create micro-channels, while RF energy remodels collagen and tightens the underlying tissue. This dual-action treatment reduces sagging, fine lines and wrinkles, improves skin texture, and stimulates regenerative processes. Morpheus8 is versatile and is suitable for the face, neck, and even body areas. It’s really good for anyone seeking a non-surgical lift with long-term benefits.”

Sofwave

“Sofwave uses advanced acoustic shockwave technology to stimulate collagen production and accelerate tissue repair,” she notes. “By delivering gentle but targeted soundwaves, it improves circulation, promotes cell regeneration and tightens lax skin. Sofwave is particularly effective for rejuvenating areas affected by weight loss, environmental damage, or natural ageing. It works synergistically with other treatments, enhancing results and extending longevity, making it a key component of any comprehensive anti-ageing protocol.”

While all of these treatments are effective on their own, Kerry urges that their true power lies in a combination.

“At Kerry Hanaphy Clinics, each client receives a personalised programme tailored to their unique needs,” Kerry says. “By integrating skin boosters, bio-stimulators, microneedling, and radio-wave therapies, the clinics address multiple layers of ageing and volume loss. This holistic strategy ensures not just immediate improvement, but long-term resilience and vitality. This means we want your skin to age gracefully alongside your lifestyle and wellness efforts.”
