Profhilo Marlow | Skin Booster Buckinghamshire | DermaMedica

Skin Quality & Rejuvenation

Profhilo —
Skin Remodelling

Q: What is the difference between Profhilo and a skin booster like Restylane Skinboosters?

While both use hyaluronic acid, Profhilo is formulated differently — it is a bio-remodeller, not just a hydrator. Its unique thermally bonded HA disperses freely rather than staying in a localised area, stimulating four types of collagen and elastin in the process.

Q: How many sessions do I need?

A standard Profhilo treatment consists of two sessions, four weeks apart. This constitutes a full course. After this, maintenance sessions every 6 months help sustain and build on the results.

Q: Can Profhilo be used on the body?

Yes — Profhilo can be used on the neck, décolletage, hands, inner arms and knees where crepey skin or laxity is a concern. Body treatments follow a different protocol to facial treatments.

Q: Can I combine Profhilo with other treatments?

Profhilo combines beautifully with almost any other treatment. It is commonly paired with anti-wrinkle injections, polynucleotides, microneedling, and dermal fillers — it improves overall skin quality, making other treatments look even better.

Q: Is Profhilo a filler?

No — Profhilo does not add significant volume. It is a skin quality treatment, not a volumiser. If you are seeking volume, dermal fillers or Sculptra are more appropriate.

Q: How soon will I see results?

Many patients notice a glow and improvement in hydration within 1–2 weeks of the first session. Firming and structural improvements develop over 4–8 weeks as collagen stimulation occurs.

Q: Is there any downtime?

Virtually none. Small bumps at injection points can be visible for a few hours but typically resolve by the end of the day. Most patients return to normal activities immediately.

The UK's most popular skin booster — ultra-pure, high-concentration hyaluronic acid that disperses beneath the skin to hydrate, firm and remodel from within.

About This Treatment

Profhilo —
Skin Remodelling

Profhilo is unlike any other injectable skin treatment. Its ultra-high concentration of pure hyaluronic acid — the highest available in an injectable — is formulated to flow and disperse freely beneath the skin rather than staying in one place like a conventional filler.

This unique behaviour allows Profhilo to hydrate large areas of the face (and body) from within, whilst simultaneously stimulating four types of collagen and elastin. The result is skin that looks and feels genuinely healthier — plump, luminous, and more resilient — not simply fuller.

Profhilo is hailed as a revolution in skin bio-remodelling and is one of the most in-demand treatments at DermaMedica. It is ideal for patients experiencing early skin laxity, crepey texture, or a loss of skin quality and glow that cannot be addressed by topical skincare alone.

How It Works

The treatment
process.

BAP Technique

Profhilo is injected using the BAP (Bio Aesthetic Points) technique — five precise anatomical points on each side of the face that maximise natural diffusion of the product across the entire treatment area.

Dispersal & Hydration

Within days of injection, the hyaluronic acid disperses freely through the tissue, attracting water and deeply hydrating the skin from within — creating the characteristic Profhilo glow.

Collagen Stimulation

Simultaneously, Profhilo stimulates four types of collagen and elastin, rebuilding the structural support network of the skin for lasting firmness and resilience beyond the treatment period.

Common Questions

Everything you
need to know.

What is the difference between Profhilo and a skin booster like Restylane Skinboosters?

Profhilo is often chosen for overall skin rejuvenation and tightening, while Restylane Skinboosters are ideal for improving hydration and treating crepey or dehydrated skin. During your consultation, we can advise which treatment is best suited to your concerns.

How many sessions do I need?

Most patients require an initial course of 2 treatments, spaced around 4 weeks apart, for optimal results. Maintenance treatments are then recommended every 6–12 months depending on your skin concerns and goals.

Can Profhilo be used on the body?

Yes — Profhilo can be used on certain areas of the body to improve skin quality, hydration, and laxity. Common treatment areas include the neck, décolletage, hands, arms, abdomen, and knees.

Can I combine Profhilo with other treatments?

Yes — Profhilo can be safely combined with other aesthetic treatments to achieve more comprehensive rejuvenation results. It is commonly paired with anti-wrinkle treatments, dermal fillers, microneedling, and medical-grade skincare.

Is Profhilo a filler?

No — although Profhilo contains hyaluronic acid, it is not a dermal filler. Unlike fillers, Profhilo does not add volume or alter facial contours. Instead, it works to deeply hydrate the skin and stimulate collagen and elastin production.

How soon will I see results?

Many patients notice improved skin hydration and radiance within a few days, with the full benefits developing gradually over several weeks as collagen and elastin production increases.

Is there any downtime?

There is minimal downtime after Profhilo treatment. You may experience slight redness, swelling, or small bumps at the injection sites, but these usually settle within 24–48 hours.
