What Is Profhilo? A Complete Guide to the Popular Injectable Skin Booster

If you've been researching treatments to improve skin quality, hydration and overall skin health, you've likely come across Profhilo. Unlike traditional dermal fillers, Profhilo works by stimulating your skin from within, helping to improve texture, firmness and hydration without adding volume or changing your facial features.

At Fixation Skincare & Laser Clinic in Sheffield, Profhilo is one of our most requested injectable treatments for clients looking to achieve healthier, more radiant skin with natural-looking results.

What Is Profhilo?

Profhilo is an injectable skin remodelling treatment made from one of the highest concentrations of hyaluronic acid available on the market.

Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance found within the body that helps retain moisture, maintain skin elasticity and support overall skin health. As we age, our natural levels decline, contributing to dryness, fine lines and skin laxity.

Profhilo works by replenishing hyaluronic acid levels within the skin, providing intense hydration while stimulating the production of collagen and elastin. This helps improve skin quality and firmness over time.

Is Profhilo a Dermal Filler?

One of the most common questions we hear is whether Profhilo is a filler.

The answer is no.

Unlike traditional dermal fillers, Profhilo is not designed to add volume, contour the face or enhance specific features. Instead, it spreads beneath the skin to improve overall skin quality and hydration.

Think of Profhilo as a treatment that focuses on skin health rather than facial shaping.

What Does Profhilo Treat?

Profhilo is ideal for individuals experiencing:

• Fine lines and wrinkles

• Dehydrated skin

• Loss of skin elasticity

• Crepey skin texture

• Dull or tired-looking skin

• Mild skin laxity

• Ageing skin on the face, neck and décolletage

Many clients choose Profhilo as a preventative treatment to maintain healthy, youthful-looking skin before significant signs of ageing develop.

How Does Profhilo Work?

Profhilo is administered through a series of carefully placed injections using the Bio Aesthetic Points (BAP) technique.

Once injected, the hyaluronic acid disperses beneath the skin and begins stimulating four different types of collagen and elastin. This process encourages tissue remodelling and improves skin quality from within.

The result is skin that appears:

• More hydrated

• Smoother

• Firmer

• Healthier

• More radiant

Because Profhilo works gradually, the improvements continue to develop over several weeks following treatment.

How Many Treatments Will I Need?

A standard Profhilo treatment course consists of:

• Two treatment sessions

• Four weeks apart

Many clients then choose maintenance treatments every six months to maintain their results.

Your practitioner will recommend a personalised treatment plan during your consultation.

When Will I See Results?

Some clients notice improved hydration within the first few days following treatment.

However, the most noticeable improvements typically develop between four and eight weeks after the second session, as collagen and elastin production increases.

Results continue to improve over time, creating a subtle and natural rejuvenation effect.

Which Areas Can Be Treated?

Profhilo is commonly used on:

• Face

• Neck

• Décolletage

• Hands

These areas often show some of the earliest signs of ageing and can benefit significantly from increased hydration and collagen stimulation.

Is There Any Downtime?

Profhilo involves minimal downtime.

Following treatment, you may experience small bumps at the injection sites, which usually settle within 24 hours. Mild redness, swelling or tenderness may also occur but typically resolves quickly.

Most clients return to their normal activities the same day.

Is Profhilo Right for Me?

Profhilo is suitable for both men and women who want to improve skin quality, hydration and firmness without looking overdone or changing their natural appearance.

It is particularly popular among clients who want a natural approach to facial rejuvenation and prefer treatments that support long-term skin health.

A consultation with a qualified practitioner is the best way to determine whether Profhilo is the right treatment for your skin concerns.
