Profhilo  is used more generally at 5 specific pre-determined sites of the face- offering more widespread rejuvenation and hydration. This technique is often referred to as the ‘5-point-facelift’. Hydro on the other hand, can be used to target a specific area of concern. This might be an area with severe wrinkle/ fine line formation e.g. smoker’s lines. Hydro can also be injected directly into acne scars to even out skin tone and elevate healing.

Speaking generally, people begin Profhilo treatment as early as 25, just as the skin starts to show signs of early ageing. However Hydro sees best results in fine lines and wrinkles which have already formed.

For best results- 2 sessions are required, 4-6 weeks apart. Results last up to 12 months and then regular touch-ups are required for maintenance.

If patients choose not to continue treatments after the full treatment, the product will gradually break down and your natural ageing process will continue. 

No matter your age, if you are trying to combat signs of ageing or invest in a preventive anti-ageing treatment, the Profhilo skin booster is a fantastic way to improve your complexion.

Most dermatologists would suggest that those aged between 30-50 are the best candidates, however there is no specific age limits and patients in their 60’s will see an improvement in their complexion, although not as significant as in younger patients.

Yes. In fact, Profhilo can enhance the affects of other treatments if used in conjunction- complimenting their effects, not competing with them.

Profhilo improves signs of aging and is especially good for sagging skin on the lower two thirds of the face. It can help to tighten the jawline and reduce the appearance of smile and laughter lines.

Profhilo is also a fantastic treatment for dry skin, thanks to its use of hyaluronic acid which helps your skin to retain water- leaving you with a glowing complexion. It’s a great choice for those who already have a solid skincare routine and keep a good diet as it enhances your natural skin. Having a healthy lifestyle will also help to maintain the appearance of your skin booster for longer.

The results of a Profhilo skin booster are not as dramatic as what can be achieved from dermal fillers, but if you are looking for a more subtle way to elevate your skin, Profhilo is the choice for you.

Profhilo is injected just under the skin using very fine needles at pre-determined points. It is relativley painless and there is usually no need for topical pain relief creams prior to treatment. The treatment itself is very quick, taking only about 10 minutes. On the face only five injection points are necessary on each side of the face to give maximum results.

There are no long-term side effects. Profhilo is metabolised by the body completely.

No allergy test is required prior to treatment. The risk of allergic reactions is substantially reduced because Profhilo does not contain any synthetic chemicals which some people might react to.

Some people may experience redness, slight bruising, tenderness as well as itching at the injection sites but these will be temporary and should resolve within 24 hours.

• Active infection at the site being injected
• Pregnant or breast feeding women
• Patients with autoimmune diseases 
• Anybody under the age of 18
