Profhilo Skin Booster London
Profhilo is a skin remodelling injectable treatment that stimulates your skin’s own collagen and elastin production, restoring hydration, firmness, and a natural glow — without adding volume the way traditional dermal fillers do. Performed exclusively by our GMC-registered doctors at EliteSkin, Marble Arch Medical Centre, London W2.
Why Choose Profhilo?
Profhilo contains one of the highest concentrations of stabilised hyaluronic acid used in aesthetic medicine. Rather than filling a specific area, it spreads evenly beneath the skin to hydrate deeply and trigger your body’s own collagen and elastin renewal — often described by patients as a “glow from within” rather than a change in facial shape.

-
Fine lines and early skin laxity, including smokers’ lines and mouth creases
-
Under-eye and delicate eye-area lines

Crepey or lax skin on the neck, décolletage, or hands

Overall skin dullness and dehydration

Profhilo Before and After: What to Expect
Many patients ask what Profhilo before and after results actually look like. Unlike filler, there's no dramatic overnight change — instead, skin gradually appears more hydrated, firmer, and radiant over the 2–4 weeks following each session. By the end of a full course, most patients notice smoother texture, reduced fine lines, and a visible improvement in skin tone and elasticity. Because results build gradually, Profhilo is often described as giving a natural, "no-one-can-tell-what-you've-had-done" glow rather than an obviously "treated" appearance.
Profhilo for Neck, Décolletage and Hands
While most commonly associated with facial skin, Profhilo is equally effective on the neck, décolletage, and hands — areas that show early signs of ageing and crepiness but are often overlooked in a skincare routine. A Profhilo neck treatment can visibly improve skin laxity and hydration in this delicate area, while Profhilo for hands helps restore volume and smoothness to skin that's thinned with age.
How Treatment Works
01
-
Consultation & preparation
-your doctor assesses your skin and discusses your goals. Topical numbing cream is applied if needed
02
2. Treatment
-Profhilo is injected at a small number of specific points using the Bio Aesthetic Points (BAP) technique — typically five points on each side of the face — allowing the product to spread evenly beneath the skin.
03
3. Aftercare
-avoid makeup for 6 hours after treatment. Small bumps at injection points are completely normal and settle within a day.
Profhilo vs Dermal Filler — What’s the Difference?
This is one of the most common questions patients ask before booking.
Pre-Care
1. Arrive with clean skin, free of makeup where possible
2. Avoid blood-thinning medication or supplements (aspirin, ibuprofen, fish oil) for about a week beforehand, if medically appropriate
3. Avoid alcohol for 24 hours before your appointment to reduce bruising risk
4. Let your doctor know about any allergies, skin conditions, or medications during your consultation
Aftercare
1. Avoid makeup for 6 hours after treatment
2. Avoid strenuous exercise, saunas, and swimming for 24 hours
3. Small bumps at injection points are normal and settle within 24 hours
4. Avoid alcohol for 24 hours before and after treatment to reduce bruising risk
Am I a Good Candidate for Profhilo?
Profhilo works best for people with early signs of skin laxity, dullness, or dehydration who aren't looking to change the shape or volume of their face. It's usually a good fit if:
-
You're noticing early fine lines, dryness, or a loss of skin radiance
-
You want overall hydration and a natural "glow from within" rather than added volume
-
You're newer to aesthetic treatments and want a gentle, foundational starting point
It's generally not the first step if your main concern is volume loss (in the lips, cheeks, or under-eyes) — dermal filler is usually more suitable there — or significant skin laxity requiring a more targeted treatment. Your doctor will assess your skin honestly at consultation and recommend the option that best fits your goals, even if that's a different treatment or a combination approach.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Profhilo the same as dermal filler?
No — Profhilo doesn’t add volume like a filler does. It works by stimulating your own collagen and elastin production, giving an overall hydration and glow effect rather than reshaping a specific area.
Does Profhilo hurt?
Most patients describe it as relatively painless — the treatment is quick, typically taking around 10 minutes, and topical numbing cream can be used if you’d prefer extra comfort.
How many sessions will I need?
An initial course of 2 sessions, 4 weeks apart, is recommended to properly stimulate collagen and elastin production. Results typically last 4–6 months, after which a single top-up session is usually enough to maintain results.
Is there any downtime?
Very minimal — most patients return to normal activities immediately, avoiding only makeup for 6 hours and strenuous exercise for 24 hours.
Can Profhilo be used anywhere other than the face?
Yes — Profhilo is also commonly used on the neck, décolletage, and hands to address crepey texture and dehydration in those areas.
Can Profhilo be combined with other treatments?
Yes — many patients combine Profhilo with dermal fillers or Polynucleotides as part of a broader skin health plan, which your doctor can tailor to you.
Does Profhilo cause bruising?
Mild bruising at injection points is possible, as with any injectable treatment, though it's generally less common than with dermal filler since Profhilo uses a fine needle and disperses evenly rather than being placed in a single concentrated area.
How long does Profhilo last before I need another session?
Results from a full course typically last 4–6 months before a top-up session is recommended to maintain results, though this varies by individual skin type and lifestyle factors like sun exposure.
Can I wear makeup the same day as my Profhilo treatment?
No — we recommend avoiding makeup for at least 6 hours after treatment to reduce the risk of irritation at injection points.
