Profhilo®
Regenerative Treatment
Profhilo® Treatment in London
Profhilo® is an innovative skin remodeling treatment known for its unique composition of highly concentrated hyaluronic acid.
Unlike traditional dermal fillers, Profhilo does not add volume to the skin. Instead, it works by enhancing skin tone, hydration, and elasticity. Ideal for treating skin laxity and improving skin health, Profhilo is especially effective in areas that are often prone to aging, such as the face, neck, décolletage, and hands. At our clinic in London, we offer Profhilo treatments tailored to rejuvenate and restore youthful vitality to your skin.
Signature technique
Bio-Remodelling From Within
Profhilo® acts as a hydrator rather than a filler. It is injected just below the skin’s surface in a specific pattern to maximise its spread and absorption.
The high concentration of hyaluronic acid stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, improving skin quality from within. Over time, Profhilo® helps to hydrate the skin, remodel sagging tissue, and improve overall skin quality with its bio-remodeling capabilities.

Your Treatment Journey
Profhilo® Treatment Protocol
Our approach to Profhilo® London treatment includes the following steps:
Consultation: Understanding your skin concerns and establishing the best approach to address them with Profhilo®.
Preparation: Cleansing and preparation of the treatment areas occurs first. Although Profhilo® injections are relatively painless, a topical anaesthetic can be applied to enhance comfort.
Injection: Injection of Profhilo® occurs using the BAP (Bio Aesthetic Points) technique for optimal distribution and minimal discomfort.
- Post-Treatment Care: Profhilo® treatments have minimal downtime. Patients can return to their daily activities immediately after treatment. We recommend avoiding strenuous exercise and excessive sun exposure for the first 24-48 hours.
Profhilo® Frequently Asked Questions
If you’re curious about the treatment, aftercare, or potential side effects, this section is designed to give you a clear understanding of what to expect.
At our London clinic, we focus on a personalised approach to skin rejuvenation, ensuring that every treatment plan is tailored to support natural looking results. From what Profhilo® is made of, to how it differs from dermal fillers, we cover what you need to know to feel confident before starting treatment.
What is Profhilo® Made made of?
Profhilo is a revolutionary injectable treatment made from pure hyaluronic acid. Unlike traditional fillers, Profhilo is not ‘cross-linked,’ meaning it spreads evenly beneath the skin rather than holding a fixed shape. This unique formulation works by stimulating the skin’s natural cell receptors, helping to counteract skin laxity while improving elasticity and firmness. As it hydrates and remodels aging, sagging skin, Profhilo® offers a natural and rejuvenated look from deep within the skin layers.
What areas can be treated with Profhilo®?
Profhilo can be used to treat a wide range of areas on the face and body. Commonly treated areas include the face, neck, décolletage, and hands, where it works to restore firmness, boost hydration, and reduce signs of ageing. For those with skin laxity in areas such as the arms, abdomen, or knees, Profhilo can also deliver excellent results by enhancing tissue tone and elasticity.
What is the aftercare for Profhilo®?
After your Profhilo treatment, it’s essential to follow some simple aftercare guidelines to ensure optimal results. Avoid touching or applying makeup to the treated area for six hours. We recommend avoiding intense physical activity, sports, or any activities that cause excessive sweating for at least 24 hours. Additionally, avoid steam rooms, saunas, and direct sun exposure, including UV tanning beds, for several days. These steps help minimise the risk of irritation and ensure that Profhilo settles effectively into the skin.
Is Profhilo® uncomfortable?
Profhilo treatments are typically comfortable, as they involve a small number of injection points using fine needles. Some patients may feel slight discomfort during the injections, but the procedure is quick and well-tolerated by most. Any minor discomfort usually subsides soon after the treatment, and most patients are able to resume their normal activities immediately.
What is the difference between Profhilo® and dermal fillers?
While both Profhilo and dermal fillers use hyaluronic acid, they work in different ways. Dermal fillers are designed to add volume, contour, and structure to specific areas, such as lips or cheeks. In contrast, Profhilo does not add volume but instead stimulates the skin to improve hydration, firmness, and overall skin quality. It spreads evenly across the tissue to treat skin laxity and create a natural, refreshed appearance. Profhilo is ideal for those seeking an overall skin rejuvenation, whereas fillers target specific areas for contouring or volumising effects.
Is Profhilo® the right treatment for me?
Profhilo is an excellent choice for individuals seeking to improve skin hydration, firmness, and elasticity without adding volume. It’s particularly effective for people experiencing early signs of aging, such as fine lines, wrinkles, and sagging skin. If you’re looking for a non-surgical option to refresh and rejuvenate your skin while maintaining a natural look, Profhilo may be right for you. During your consultation, we will assess your skin and determine if Profhilo is the best treatment for your specific concerns.
How long does it take for Profhilo® results to appear?
The results from Profhilo are typically noticeable within 4 to 6 weeks after treatment. You will begin to see improvements in skin texture, hydration, and overall firmness as the hyaluronic acid stimulates collagen production and enhances the skin’s structure. For optimal results, a second treatment is usually recommended one month after the initial session, with maintenance treatments every 6 months to sustain the rejuvenated effect.
Are there any risks?
Profhilo is generally well tolerated, but like all injectable treatments, it carries some risks, including:
Redness, Swelling, and Bruising: These are common side effects and typically resolve quickly.
Lumps: Small bumps often occur following injection of the product. However, these typical resolve within the first 24 hours.
What is the longevity of the results?
The effects of Profhilo are not permanent but are long lasting. Typically, patients see improvement after the first session, with full results visible after the second session (usually a month later). The results can last six months or more, after which the treatment can be repeated to maintain its effects.
