Injectable Skin Treatment

Profhilo

Profhilo in London is an injectable bioremodeller rather than a filler, stimulating your own collagen and elastin to improve skin quality without adding volume or changing the shape of your face.

The short answer

What Profhilo is

Are you seeking a non-surgical solution to revitalise your skin, reduce fine lines, and regain a youthful, radiant complexion? Look no further than Profhilo, a cutting-edge skin rejuvenation treatment that is transforming the world of aesthetics.

Profhilo is a revolutionary injectable treatment that harnesses the power of hyaluronic acid to rejuvenate your skin. Hyaluronic acid, a natural component of the skin, is known for its moisture-retaining properties and its ability to promote collagen and elastin production. Profhilo differs from traditional dermal fillers in that it doesn’t add volume or change your facial features. Instead, it focuses on enhancing the skin’s quality and structure.

With Profhilo, you can achieve a natural and youthful appearance without the need for surgery or extensive downtime. It is one of the treatments Dr Harriet recommends most often to patients who want to look fresher without looking different.

What can be treated?

Profhilo improves the appearance of fine lines, skin laxity and lacklustre complexion for a fresher, more revitalised you. It changes how the skin behaves rather than where it sits, so a hollow or a lost contour needs filler instead.

Patient journey

What to expect from a Profhilo course

Consultation & preparation

Avoid alcohol for 24 hours and ibuprofen, aspirin, vitamin E and fish oil for 48 hours beforehand where it is safe to stop them, to reduce bruising. Come makeup-free and well hydrated, since Profhilo works by dispersing through the tissue.

During treatment

What is Profhilo and how is it different from filler?

Both are hyaluronic acid, but they behave in opposite ways. A dermal filler is a cohesive gel designed to stay where it is placed and create volume. Profhilo is designed to spread through the tissue and act biologically, prompting the skin to make more of its own collagen and elastin. Fillers change where the skin sits; Profhilo changes how the skin works.

What does the treatment involve?

Your Profhilo journey begins with a consultation with our experienced healthcare provider, who will assess your unique needs, discuss your aesthetic goals and develop a personalised treatment plan.

During the treatment, Profhilo is administered through a series of micro-injections beneath the skin’s surface, placed at defined points that maximise how far the product spreads while keeping clear of major vessels. The procedure stings a little, and you can expect it to take approximately 15 to 30 minutes.

When will I see results?

Over the following weeks, you’ll notice a gradual improvement in your skin’s texture and firmness as Profhilo stimulates collagen and elastin production. This is not an immediate-result treatment. The standard course is two sessions four to six weeks apart, and the full effect is assessed several weeks after the second session rather than after the first.

Where else can Profhilo be used?

The face is the most common area, but Profhilo is used on the neck and hands for the same skin-quality effect, and there is a dedicated body formulation for larger areas such as the arms, abdomen and thighs. Neck and hands are popular additions for patients already treating the face, because both often show age earlier.

Aftercare

The small injection bumps settle within 24 to 48 hours. Avoid pressure, massage and makeup on the treated area for 12 hours, and skip saunas, steam rooms, intense exercise and alcohol for 24 hours. Skin quality improves gradually over the following weeks.

Pricing

Profhilo prices in London

Profhilo is priced as a course rather than per appointment, because the collagen stimulation depends on the second session building on the first. The price below covers both sessions, your consultation and written aftercare.

FAQ

Profhilo FAQs

How long does Profhilo last?

Many patients see the benefit for up to six months or more, with results gradually improving over the weeks after the second session. Most repeat the course twice a year to maintain the collagen and elastin stimulation. With consistent maintenance the effect tends to build rather than simply reset each time.

Will Profhilo change the shape of my face?

No. That is the main difference between Profhilo and a dermal filler. It spreads through the skin rather than sitting in one place, so it improves quality, hydration and firmness without adding structural volume. Patients who want to look fresher without looking altered are the ideal candidates.

Is there any downtime after Profhilo?

Very little. Small raised bumps are visible at each injection point immediately afterwards and settle within 24 to 48 hours as the product spreads. Some patients experience mild bruising. Most return to their daily activities straight after the appointment.

How many sessions of Profhilo do I need?

The standard protocol is two sessions four to six weeks apart, which is how Dr Harriet prices it. A single session will not deliver the full effect because the collagen stimulation depends on the second treatment building on the first. Maintenance is then typically every six months.

Can I have Profhilo alongside other treatments?

Yes. Profhilo combines well with anti-wrinkle injections, which address movement lines while Profhilo addresses skin quality. Dermal fillers are usually spaced a couple of weeks either side so each product can be assessed independently. Dr Harriet will sequence a combined plan at your consultation.
