What is Profhilo?
As we age our skin starts to lose volume and look more tired. Profhilo is one of the most advanced treatments designed to target common signs of ageing. These include a loss of firmness and skin elasticity.
Profhilo is an injectable anti-ageing treatment created to boost hydration in the skin. It does this by delivering a high concentration of hyaluronic acid beneath the surface of the skin.
Profhilo is not the same as dermal fillers, which tend to provide improvements to smaller areas of the face such as the cheeks or jawline. Instead, Profhilo works from the inside out to provide a more holistic approach to skin rejuvenation across the face, neck and hands.
What does Profhilo do?
Profhilo helps to add volume to the underlying tissues of the skin. It encourages the production of collagen and elastin, which help to strengthen skin cells and increase hydration.
Profhilo helps your skin to look and feel more rejuvenated. The treatment can reduce the appearance of lines and wrinkles, make the skin look tighter and refresh dull, dry and textured complexions.
What does hyaluronic acid do?
Over time and as we age, we start to see a decrease in the levels of hyaluronic acid in our skin. This results in our skin looking tired, textured and loose. The Profhilo treatment sends a high dose of hyaluronic acid beneath the surface of the skin. This helps to restore the levels of hyaluronic acid in your skin.
Hyaluronic acid is sugar naturally found in your skin. It has the ability to hold 1000 times its weight in moisture, which gives it powerful hydrating properties. It helps your skin by keeping it stronger and more flexible, while also giving it a healthy and fresh look.
How does it work?
The Profhilo treatment involves injecting high doses of hyaluronic acid just below the skin. The injections are administered into five different areas on each side of your face. This is generally on the lower parts of your face. Using this technique allows the hyaluronic acid to absorb and spread throughout your skin to provide instant hydration.
During your treatment, our practitioner will apply numbing cream to the injection site. Each treatment session should take up to 30 minutes to complete. The number of treatment sessions you may need will depend on the area being treated. This will be discussed with you during your consultation.
Profhilo is commonly used as an anti-ageing treatment for the face and neck. However, it can also treat visible signs of ageing on other areas of the body such as the hands, decolletage, elbows and knees.

Is Profhilo safe?
Profhilo is a safe and effective anti-ageing treatment. As the treatment involves the injection of a natural substance already found in the body, side effects are rare.
At the skin clinic in Southgate, you’ll be in the hands of our qualified Doctor who has over eight years’ experience as an aesthetician. He will talk you through how to get the most out of your treatment to ensure you get optimal results.
Are there any side effects?
On the whole, most patients don’t experience any side effects from Profhilo treatment. However, on occasion, you may see some slight redness, swelling or tenderness around the site of the injections. This is normal, but should only last a few hours.
With Profhilo there’s now downtime following your treatment. This means you can go back to your normal activities straightway. We do recommend however, that you only do light exercise for the first couple of days after your treatment.
Our doctor will talk you through how to protect your skin following treatment. This will include avoiding sun exposure and excessive heat such as sunbeds or saunas for the first 48 hours after your treatment.
Are the results permanent?
The results from your Profhilo treatment will not be permanent; however they can last up to six months. How long your results last can be impacted by a number of factors. If you smoke, drink excessively or spend too much time in the sun, your results may fade faster. Your skin tone or skin type can also affect your results.
Our doctor will talk you through how to get the most out of your Profhilo treatment and how to keep your results for longer. We do recommend returning for top-up sessions every three months in order to maintain your results.
How much does it cost?
The total cost of your treatment will depend on the size of your area of concern. One syringe of Profhilo treatment starts from £250. It is likely you will need more than one syringe to achieve optimal results.
Our practitioners will create a tailored treatment plan to help you achieve your desired results. Please contact our Southgate clinic to discuss next steps or book your consultation.
