Profhilo Treatment for Firmer, Hydrated, Glowing Skin
A simple treatment to improve skin hydration, firmness and elasticity
Profhilo treatment is an innovative injectable skin rejuvenation treatment using highly concentrated hyaluronic acid to deeply hydrate the skin and stimulate collagen and elastin production.

It is suitable for people looking to improve skin laxity, dehydration, fine lines and loss of elasticity in areas such as the face, neck and hands.

What to Expect from Profhilo Injections
Profhilo enhances the overall quality of the skin rather than targeting individual lines or wrinkles in the way a dermal filler does.
After treatment, you can expect:
- Increased skin hydration
- Improved firmness and elasticity
- A brighter, more refreshed complexion
- A smoother and more youthful appearance
Profhilo is often chosen by patients who want natural-looking skin rejuvenation without adding volume or altering their facial features.
When will you see results?
Results from Profhilo treatment develop gradually as collagen and elastin production increases.
First visible result from 6 weeks after the 1st treatment.
The best result is about one month after completing your 2nd treatment.
Results last on average for 4-6 months.
What Happens During a Profhilo Treatment?
During your Profhilo appointment, your skin will be assessed before treatment begins.
A series of 5 small injections will then be placed on each side of the face, targeting the mid and lower face areas.
Numbing cream can be applied for approximately 20 minutes before treatment if preferred. Please request this when you arrive at the clinic.
Profhilo is not injected into the forehead, nose or under-eye area. However, because it improves overall skin hydration and quality, patients may notice improvements around the eye area.
Immediately after treatment, small raised bumps may appear at the injection points. These can look similar to small bee stings and usually disappear within around 30 minutes, although they can occasionally remain for up to 24 hours.
