Before & After Results
Areas for treatment
Profhilo is a unique, non-surgical treatment designed to rejuvenate and hydrate the skin while improving its texture and firmness. It consists of a high concentration of hyaluronic acid, a substance naturally found in the body, that helps maintain moisture and stimulate collagen production.
Here's a detailed description of the different areas that Profhilo can treat:
Face
The most popular treatment!
Profhilo is most commonly used to rejuvenate the face. It targets areas that typically show signs of aging, such as fine lines, wrinkles, and sagging skin.
Smooth fine lines and wrinkles: Profhilo hydrates and plumps the skin, reducing the appearance of fine lines, especially around the eyes, mouth, and forehead.
Enhance skin elasticity: By stimulating collagen and elastin production, it can improve the skin's elasticity, creating a firmer and more youthful appearance.
Restore volume: Profhilo helps restore lost volume in the cheeks, temples, and other areas prone to sagging.
Plan: 2 treatments - 4 weeks apart
Neck & Décolletage
The neck and décolletage is another area that often shows early signs of aging.
Profhilo can be used on the neck and upper chest area to:
Tighten sagging skin:
It helps lift and tighten the skin on the neck, reducing the appearance of "turkey neck" and sagging.
Improve texture:
Profhilo can smooth the skin's texture, minimizing creases and horizontal lines commonly known as "necklace lines" or creping caused from sun damage across the decollate area.
Plan: 2 treatments - 4 weeks apart
Hands
Hands are often overlooked when it comes to anti-aging treatments, but they can reveal a person's age.
Rejuvenate and hydrate: It hydrates the skin, reducing dryness and improving overall skin quality.
Smooth fine lines and wrinkles: It can help minimize the appearance of wrinkles and veins, giving hands a smoother and more youthful look..
Plan: 4 treatments - 2 per session (1 per hand) - 4 weeks apart
Arms
Profhilo is increasingly used to rejuvenate the upper arms, especially the area above the elbows where skin tends to sag:
Reduce sagging: By stimulating collagen production, it can help tighten the skin on the upper arms.
Improve skin texture: It smooths the skin, reducing the appearance of crepey or thin skin.
.
Plan: 4 treatments - 2 per session (1 per arm) - 4 weeks apart
Preparing for Profhilo
IMPORTANT TO NOTE:
- For best results, 2 treatments are required 4 weeks apart.
- Results may not be visible immediately and there is no guarantee of a significant visible improvement.
- Application of Profhilo is via injection – and may have to be approached with caution in those with Trypanophobia. This injection is very superficial (in the higher layers of the skin and is not injected deep). No topical anaesthetic is used.
- There may be swelling and redness following the procedure.
- All products used are suitable for vegans and are cruelty free. Each tool used is single use and is disposed off after each treatment.
- The highest standards of hygiene are maintained and observed in the treatment room.
- The actual injecting time is no more than 10 mins, with the remaining appointment time begin for consultation and aftercare discussion.

FAQs
Profhilo® is made from hyaluronic acid (HA).
With one of the highest concentrations of HA on the market (64mg / 2ml) Profhilo will not only boost and hydrate the skin, but also remodels the ageing and sagging tissue. So rather than just adding volume, Profhilo works to hydrate the skin for a fresher look.
Profhilo® is aimed at those patients who have visible signs of ageing skin. Therefore, it is most commonly used for those who are aged between 30 and 60. However, our younger patients also find that Profhilo® offers a preventative effect. Prior to any treatment taking place I would recommend that book a free consultation, so that we can discuss your general skin concerns, check your medical history and ensure that the treatment will be suitable and safe for you to have.
Profhilo® diffuses within the tissue for up to 4 weeks after each treatment. During this time, it works to stimulate collagen and elastin. You can expect to see initial results after 1-2 days, with fuller effects after 1-2 weeks. Best results are normally around 8 weeks after treatment, after collagen and elastin development.
Profhilo is a very safe treatment with low risk of side effects. You may experience temporary redness, pain, itching, dis-colouration or tenderness at the injection sites after treatment, but this tends to fade quite quickly. If you have any concerns after your treatment – please reach out to Farrah.
In some patients the improvement is not visible after one treatment, so for this reason the manufacturers of Profhilo suggest 2 treatments for maximum benefit.
You can follow up the treatment after 6 months if you want to keep up with the benefit.
Yes, these have complimentary benefits to your skin boosting.
Profhilo® delivers great results as a treatment on its own or in combination with other aesthetics treatments available.
Profhilo is injected into the face in 5 specific points on each side of the face. There are therefore a total of 10 injection points.
The treatment takes no longer than 30 minutes.
