Skin Boosters

Profhilo is my preferred skin booster - made from hyaluronic acid, it spreads beneath the skin and works differently to dermal filler. Rather than creating volume, it deeply hydrates the skin and helps create a healthier environment for the cells responsible for producing collagen and elastin - supporting improvements in skin quality, firmness and elasticity.

Profhilo works primarily on skin quality. It can improve hydration, elasticity and texture, helping skin feel smoother, firmer and more supple. Fine lines and crepey texture may soften, and skin can develop a healthier-looking appearance. Because it works within the skin rather than adding volume, it can improve skin quality without changing the shape or contours of your face.

Profhilo is a lovely option if you’ve started to notice that your skin feels drier, less firm or simply not quite as good as it used to, and you’d like to improve overall quality and feel. It particularly suits people looking for a subtle approach to ageing well. I typically use this treatment on the lower face and neck.

Treatment is quick, with a series of small injections placed at specific points beneath the skin. Most people find it very manageable, although you may feel a brief sting with each injection (helped by numbing cream!). Small, raised bumps at the injection points are normal and usually settle within 24 hours. Profhilo is recommended as initial course of two teatments, four weeks apart. The result isn’t immediate and often builds over time. Maintenance treatment is often offered every 6-12 months depending on your skin quality, results and individual goals.
