Profhilo

About

Profhilo is an injectable treatment containing a high concentration of hyaluronic acid, designed to deeply hydrate, improve skin quality, and restore a natural, radiant glow. It works by stimulating your skin’s own collagen and elastin production, helping to firm, smooth, and rejuvenate from within. It's ideal for treating dull, tired, or crepey skin on the face, neck, and other areas that need a boost.

Am I suitable for treatment?

Profhilo requires a consultation to ensure you are medically suitable to receive treatment. A consultation also allows thorough assessment and discussion of your goals to ensure that profhilo is the best treatment to address your cosmetic concerns.

How is Profhilo different from dermal fillers?

Profhilo is not a filler and doesn't add volume or structure. Instead, it's a bio-remodelling treatment that improves skin tone, texture, and hydration. It works by encouraging the skin to regenerate itself from within, rather than shaping or contouring the face.

Which areas can be treated?

Profhilo is most commonly used on the face, neck, and décolletage, but it can also be used on areas like the hands, arms, and knees where skin laxity or crepiness is a concern.

How many treatments will I need?

A course of two treatments, spaced four weeks apart, is usually recommended for best results. In some cases, a third session may be advised, depending on skin condition. Maintenance treatments are typically recommended every 6–9 months.

Does Profhilo hurt?

Discomfort is usually minimal. The treatment involves a small number of injection points, and the procedure is quick. You may feel a slight sting or pinch at each injection site, but this settles quickly.

What can I expect after treatment?

The post-treatment timeline can vary person to person. Many patients find that the downtime is minimal and they are able to return to work the same day. The table below gives an idea of what to expect in the hours to days following treatment.
