It is an ideal treatment for firming and smoothing skin on the neck, around the mouth, nose and chin. People will want to know what your beauty secret is!

Anyone worried about signs of ageing on their skin is suitable for treatment. The treatment is recommended for people between the ages of 18 and 60. Profhilo can be used on its own, or to complement other injectable treatments.

Two treatments administered 28 days apart are required. The Profhilo is a simple procedure only taking 20 minutes. It is injected in small doses and quickly spreads out over a 2cm radius. After a few days, the Profhilo ‘melts’ into the surrounding tissue creating a plump, glowing and youthful appearance. It also has a unique effect of lifting and tightening ageing skin.

Typically, you can expect results to last around 6 to 9 months before the body reabsorbs the hyaluronic acid and then repeat injections would be required.

Profhilo lasts in the skin for around 28 days. During this time, the Profhilo stimulates 4 types of collagen and elastin through the slow release of hyaluronic acid. This stimulation creates a significant improvement in the tissue of the skin, resulting in younger, dewy, plumper, smoother, firmer and healthy glowing skin.

Profhilo is unique in the fact that it lifts and hydrates tissue without excessive bulking, which is a common side effect found with facial fillers. As with all treatments, the duration of the results can vary from one person to the next.

You need to attend two Profhilo treatments 28 days apart initially. To maintain results, we recommend a top-up treatment every 6 to 9 months.

Results can be seen within a month. However, the best results are seen after the second session. Both sessions must be completed to achieve the best results. As the treatment is injected superficially, it is incredibly safe and there is typically no to minimal bruising or downtime.

Pricing starts from £500, however treatment and pricing will be tailored to your desired results. All this will be covered with full transparency in your consultation with your practitioner. The quantity of filler needed is determined by the intensity of the result you would like to achieve; the cost is then worked out based on how much dermal filler is needed.

Tab

Typically, dermal fillers contain BDDE (1,4-butanediol diglycidyl ether), this is a synthetic cross-linking chemical. It is present in dermal fillers to help prevent the hyaluronic acid in the filler from breaking down too quickly by the body.

Profhilo is BDDE-free, meaning it has no synthetic chemicals. Instead, Profhilo has a high molecular weight with a low molecular weight hyaluronic acid which works together in the skin to hydrate, plump and tighten.

As the injections are viewed as a medical treatment, they should be performed by a qualified professional in a medical environment. At the clinic, our team of highly experienced and highly qualified nurse prescribers ensure that every treatment we complete is safe, and of a high professional standard.

Yes, this is possible and completely up to you. Many of our patients who travel long distances have their consultation and receive treatment on the same day.

You may experience tenderness or soreness after your treatment. Any swelling should reduce within a few days. These side effects are completely normal and do not present concern. To help the treated area heal, avoid touching the treated area or partaking in physical exercise in the days following your treatment.

Every patient’s experience of pain is different. We will try our best to make the treatment as comfortable as possible for you by using a local anaesthetic before treatment to reduce discomfort. Bruising around the injection site is possible but only a small percentage of patients develop minor bruising. If bruising occurs, it is usually apparent at day 2-3 and will typically resolve over 5-10 days. We are exceptionally experienced with needles to be as gentle and pain-free as possible.

You may experience minor lumps, swelling or puffiness from treatment which will reduce 1 to 2 days after treatment. Due to the delicate area being treated, these side effects are completely normal and could last for a few days. As the filler is non-permanent, any side effects will improve and heal with time. If you’re concerned you can visit us or give us a call for advice.

Ageing is individual, so there is no right time to get fillers. If you begin to notice subtle changes, such as your makeup no longer looking right, it may be as a result of ageing. We do not recommend fillers for anyone under the age of 18.

It’s possible to instantly dissolve hyaluronic acid fillers using the same enzyme the body uses to break down its own natural hyaluronic acid in the skin.

The treatment is recommended for people between the ages of 18 and 60. Unfortunately, anyone under the age of 18 cannot receive this treatment.
