What can Profhilo help with?

  • Skin tone
  • Skin texture
  • Radiance and hydration
  • Firmness and elasticity
  • Softer-looking skin
  • Loose or lax skin

Profhilo is most often used on the face and neck, but it also works well on the upper chest, shoulders, hands, arms, knees and abdomen, particularly for treating skin laxity in these areas.

Profhilo works well for anyone noticing early signs of ageing, as well as those wanting a general improvement in skin quality.

What to expect during your appointment

  • Your Profhilo appointment starts with a consultation, so your practitioner can check that the treatment is right for you and agree which area or areas you’d like to be treated.
  • Topical numbing cream is applied before your practitioner injects Profhilo into the treatment area. Pain is subjective and different for everyone, but Profhilo injections are reportedly not painful for most people, with at most a slight sting at the injection site.

Afterwards, the area may be slightly sensitive or swollen for a couple of days, though bruising is rare, since Profhilo is injected very superficially.

You may notice an initial improvement after your first session. But Profhilo is given as a course: a second session follows four weeks later. Your best results are visible around four weeks after that, roughly eight weeks after you start.

Benefit one

Improves skin tone and texture

Profhilo is formulated with a high concentration of hyaluronic acid to visibly improve the tone and texture of treated skin.

Benefit two

Deep hydration

Often described as an “injectable moisturiser,” Profhilo leaves skin feeling soft, firm and hydrated.

Benefit three

Firmer, more elastic skin

Helps improve firmness and elasticity, and is particularly effective for loose or lax skin.

Benefit four

No change to your facial shape

Unlike traditional dermal fillers, Profhilo doesn't add volume or alter the structure of your face, just a refreshed, more hydrated look.

    Why Choose Aesthetics of Essex for Profhilo

    Not everyone needs volume. Some people just want healthier, fresher-looking skin, and that’s really the starting point for a Profhilo consultation with us. If you’re after a plumper jawline or fuller cheeks, we’ll point you towards a dermal filler or Sculptra® instead.

    Profhilo is for people whose skin needs better hydration, tone and elasticity, without changing your shape.

    Because Profhilo works over a course of two sessions spaced four weeks apart, we plan and cost the whole course upfront at your consultation. That way, you know exactly what you’re committing to before you begin.
