Profhilo Treatment in London: Benefits, Cost, Results and Aftercare

Profhilo Treatment in London: Benefits, Cost, Results and Aftercare Crepey, thinning skin around the jawline or neck rarely responds to a heavier moisturiser or a stronger serum. It is one of the reasons Profhilo has become one of the most requested treatments at Wellbeing Aesthetic’s Croydon clinic, alongside anti-wrinkle injections and dermal fillers. Unlike a filler, Profhilo does not add volume or reshape a feature. It works beneath the skin to encourage your own collagen and elastin production, gradually improving firmness, hydration and overall skin quality rather than filling a specific line or hollow. If you are in Croydon or the wider South London area and searching for what a Profhilo treatment actually involves, this guide covers how it works, what it costs, how long results last, and what a sensible aftercare routine looks like. None of this replaces a proper consultation. Skin type, medical history and your goals all affect whether Profhilo is the right starting point, which is why a treatment plan should always begin with an assessment rather than a menu. Key Takeaways Bio-remodelling, not volumising. Profhilo stimulates the skin’s own collagen and elastin rather than adding volume the way a dermal filler does. Built around two sessions. A standard course is two treatments spaced around four weeks apart, rather than a single appointment. Results build gradually. Most people notice firmer, more hydrated skin developing over several weeks as collagen and elastin production increases. Results generally last six to twelve months. Maintenance is usually considered from six months onward and reviewed individually rather than fixed to a single schedule. It is not the same as anti-wrinkle injections. Profhilo does not relax muscles, so it will not soften lines caused by repeated expression. Downtime is minimal for most people. Small bumps at injection points typically settle within a day, with occasional mild bruising. Pricing reflects the clinic and product, not a fixed figure. UK Profhilo sessions generally fall between £250 and £450 each, with a two-session course often costing £500 to £900. Not everyone is a suitable candidate. Pregnancy, breastfeeding, active skin infections, and certain allergies typically mean postponing treatment until a practitioner confirms it is appropriate. What Is Profhilo? Profhilo is an injectable treatment containing a high concentration of hyaluronic acid, developed to improve skin quality rather than add shape or volume. It is often described as a bio-remodelling treatment because it works with the skin’s own repair processes rather than sitting under the surface as a filler would. A practitioner injects the product at a small number of points, typically five per side of the face, where it spreads through the tissue and stimulates the production of collagen and elastin. Because the formulation is designed to disperse rather than hold a shape, Profhilo does not change facial contour. How Does Profhilo Work? Profhilo contains 64 mg of hyaluronic acid in a 2 ml syringe, combining high and low molecular weight hyaluronic acid used in aesthetic medicine, combined in a way that allows it to spread slowly through the skin after injection. As it disperses, it draws in moisture and triggers fibroblasts, the cells responsible for producing new collagen and elastin. This process, often called bio-remodelling, unfolds gradually rather than immediately. Over several weeks, many patients notice firmer, more hydrated skin with a smoother texture, particularly in areas prone to laxity such as the lower face, neck and hands. What Are the Benefits of Profhilo Treatment? Improved skin firmness and elasticity as collagen and elastin production increases. Improved skin hydration through injectable hyaluronic acid, thanks to the high hyaluronic acid concentration. A smoother, more even texture, often described as a healthier rather than a dramatically different look. Suitability for areas that do not need volume, such as the neck, jawline, and backs of the hands. Subtle skin-quality improvement without adding the structural volume associated with dermal fillers. These are gradual, quality-focused outcomes rather than a dramatic transformation.

Profhilo vs Dermal Fillers vs Skin Boosters: What Is the Difference? These three injectable treatments are frequently confused because they can all use hyaluronic acid, yet they solve different problems. The table below sets out how they compare. Treatment Main Purpose Typical Results Last Best For Profhilo Bio-remodelling and collagen stimulation 6 to 12 months Overall skin laxity and quality across the face, neck or hands Dermal Fillers Restoring lost volume and contour 9 to 18 months Hollowed cheeks, thinning lips, or lost facial structure Skin Boosters Deep hydration and improved texture 4 to 6 months Dull, dehydrated or tired looking skin without volume loss COMPARE YOUR OPTIONS If skin laxity, rather than lost volume, is your main concern, it’s worth exploring the full range of treatments available at Wellbeing Aesthetic before deciding what to book. Explore Treatments → Who Is Profhilo Suitable For? Profhilo tends to suit people noticing early skin laxity, crepiness or dullness rather than deep, static wrinkles or significant volume loss. Profhilo may suit adults experiencing mild skin laxity, crepiness, dehydration or declining skin quality who want improvement without adding structural volume. If your main concern is lines caused by repeated expression, such as frown lines or crow’s feet, our anti-wrinkle treatment guide explains that option in more depth, since Profhilo is not designed to relax muscle movement. What Happens During a Profhilo Treatment in London? Consultation and skin assessment. Your practitioner reviews your skin, medical history, and goals before confirming Profhilo is appropriate for you. Cleansing and preparation. The treatment area is cleaned thoroughly, and numbing cream can be applied if you find injections uncomfortable. Injections at key points. A small number of injections, typically five per side, deliver the product beneath the skin at carefully chosen points. Aftercare guidance. You will be talked through what to expect over the following days and given advice on protecting your results. A second session around four weeks later. The standard
