Getting older contributes to the skin’s structure becoming weak. Collagen and elastin naturally start to diminish, with the regeneration of these two substances becoming less efficient. This in turn leads to skin that loses its youthful tautness and stretchy properties, becoming loose and slack in appearance.
Known as a skin booster and the ‘injectable moisturiser,’ Profhilo is a unique and innovative treatment that involves injecting highly concentrated Hyaluronic acid into specific points of the skin to boost hydration, aiding the firming and rejuvenation.
Unlike dermal fillers, Profhilo does not add volume or structure to the face. Instead, it stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, resulting in improved skin texture and elasticity. The effects of the treatment are gradual and natural-looking.
Please note: this may vary from person to person. All patients will have a full clinical consultation and assessment prior to treatment, tailoring it to their specific needs.

Numbing cream is applied to make your treatment as comfortable as possible. Most patients report only minor discomfort.
Profhilo is suitable for all skin types in both men and women who want to improve the appearance of their skin and can be a great alternative for those who are not quite ready to undergo fillers. It delivers effective anti-ageing results to tighten and brighten the skin, as well as smoothing out fine lines.
Due to the gentle nature of the ingredients, Profhilo has low risk factors and rarely reports a patient developing any adverse effects. As with many injectable procedures, a slight bump at the point of application may be seen, but this generally settles within 12 – 24 hours.
