What is Profhilo®?
Profhilo® is a type of injectable rejuvenation treatment, and unlike dermal fillers it is not designed to add volume to the skin, or restrict movement in the facial muscles. Instead, this anti-ageing hydration treatment contains high levels of hyaluronic acid (HA), a naturally occurring compound which helps improve tone, texture and elasticity.
Who is Profhilo for?
As we age, the presence of hyaluronic acid in the skin naturally starts to drop, which causes the skin to lose its natural firmness and elasticity. Most people begin to see the effects of hyaluronic acid depletion as they reach their 30s – and Profhilo® is the perfect treatment for anyone looking to counteract this.
Where can Profhilo be used?
Profhilo® is usually administered into the skin in five key areas (when administered to the face): the tops of cheeks, side of the face, lines around the mouth, nasolabial folds and laughter lines. It can also be used to improve the appearance of the skin around the neck, chest and décolletage.
Your Profhilo consultation: what to expect
Your Profhilo consultation will be with a doctor or nurse prescriber who will assess your needs, suitability and determine the most appropriate form of treatment. During your consultation they will be able to answer any questions you may have about your skin concerns and give you personalised advice. If the decision is taken to proceed with the treatment, they will be able to carry out the treatment in-clinic. All of our clinics are monitored by the Care Quality Commission and the equivalent in Scotland (HIS) and Wales (HIW), for your safety and peace of mind.

Preparing for Profhilo® treatment
For at least 24 hours before treatment, you should avoid drinking alcohol and taking anti-inflammatories or aspirin. Please consult your GP beforehand if you are taking these for an ongoing medical condition.
Profhilo® aftercare, downtime and side-effects
After treatment, we advise you to not wear makeup and avoid going to the gym, sauna or steam room for at least 24 hours. You should also avoid touching or rubbing the injection site for a few days post treatment.
You may experience a little bruising and inflammation where the needle has punctured the skin, but this will naturally disappear after a while, just as any bruise would.
There is no downtime associated with this treatment and you should be able to return to work straight away.

What are the benefits of Profhilo?
Profhilo is an anti-ageing hydration treatment that helps to boost hydration beneath the surface of the skin and kickstart the natural production of collagen and elastin (two key proteins that give the skin its structure).
How many Profhilo treatments do I need?
Two treatment sessions spaced four weeks apart are needed in order to see visible results.
How much is Profhilo?
A single Profhilo treatment costs from £315. Exact costs are confirmed after a free consultation with a doctor or nurse prescriber.

Does Profhilo hurt?
Unlike procedures such as surgical face lifts or implants, Profhilo requires no cuts, incisions or stitches to be made, although the procedure may involve some light pain or discomfort. Depending on the area being treated, the treatment usually takes between 20 and 30 minutes, and clients describe it as a tiny scratch as the needle goes in. For those feeling anxious, we can use a local anaesthetic to numb the area completely.
Who can administer Profhilo?
It is important that you visit a private clinic such as sk:n where your Profhilo can be administered professionally and safely by a qualified doctor or nurse prescriber in a safe clinical environment.
How long before you see results from Profhilo?
You can expect to see a more hydrated appearance immediately after treatment, and an overall improvement in the skin’s tone, texture and elasticity after eight weeks.
How long do Profhilo results last?
The results from Profhilo can last up to six months, but this can vary depending on the individual and their lifestyle choices. Looking after your skin by protecting it from the sun, following a good skincare regime, drinking lots of water and avoiding smoking and alcohol, may help to maintain your results for longer.
What happens after Profhilo treatment?
After treatment, we advise you to not wear makeup and avoid going to the gym, sauna or steam room for at least 24 hours. You should also avoid touching or rubbing the injection site for a few days post treatment.
You may experience a little bruising and inflammation where the needle has punctured the skin, but this will naturally disappear. There is no downtime associated with this treatment and you should be able to return to work straight away.
Does Profhilo look natural?
The results of Profhilo® are very natural looking. It simply enhances and improves the tone, texture and elasticity of the skin, letting your natural beauty shine through. It won’t plump out targeted areas of the skin in the same way dermal fillers or lip fillers do, instead it will rejuvenate the entire treatment area for a dewy, healthy glow from within.
Is Profhilo a filler?
Profhilo® harnesses the power of hydration to improve the overall texture and tone of the skin. In comparison, Dermal fillers are used to target key points around the face (such as the lips and cheekbones) adding volume to sculpt and enhance.
