Profhilo treatments represent the latest in dermal filler technology. It consists of an injectable filler that contains the highest concentration of HA currently available on the market. The 5-point injection technique of the Profhilo system allows for consistent results in improving skin laxity, tightening the skin while increasing skin health and moisture for progressive results after only two sessions.
Profhilo is a revolutionary new product that was launched in Europe in 2015 and in the UK in 2016. It contains the highest concentration of hyaluronic acid available in the UK, containing no chemicals and is thermally stable. All this means is that is it a wonderful product designed to address skin laxity in a remarkable way. Skin laxity occurs when you see fine lines on the face and neck that are not suitable for toxin treatment or traditional fillers. Profhilo spreads like runny honey under the skin to stimulate bio-remodelling at cellular level, it does not change the structure of your face and therefore the results are very natural, true facial rejuvenation. You will get the Profhi-glow!
After a consultation to ensure that Profhilo is the right treatment for you, you will need 2 treatments 4 weeks apart. On the face Profhilo is injected in 5 points each side of your face or 10 points in the neck. Each point is carefully marked prior to treatment so that the best outcome is achieved.
It is not a completely pain free treatment but the discomfort is minimal and short lasting.
Like most facial aesthetic treatments that involve injections, there is a risk of bruising and slight swelling. We would not recommend this treatment just prior to a big work or social occasion but this would be discussed at your consultation.
It is not recommended that you have this treatment if you have an active skin infection or a cold sore. Similar to many facial aesthetic treatments, you should not have Profhilo if you are pregnant, breastfeeding or actively trying to get pregnant.
You will gradually see an improvement in your skin over the first 2-3 weeks and final results can be seen 4 weeks after your second treatment. It is always recommended that you have two treatments, very occasionally, you may need a third treatment. Again, this would be discussed at your consultation.
The results will last between 4-6 months, if you then want to maintain the benefit of Profhilo, you are advised to have another treatment after 4 months. For maintenance, you would only need 1 treatment at 4 months.

1. What is Profhilo and how does it work?
Profhilo is an injectable skin treatment made from highly concentrated hyaluronic acid. Unlike dermal fillers, it doesn’t add volume but instead stimulates collagen and elastin production to improve skin tone, hydration, and elasticity. It’s especially effective for combating signs of ageing by remodelling the skin from within.
2. Is Profhilo suitable for me?
Profhilo is ideal for men and women aged 30+ experiencing skin laxity, dryness, or a dull complexion. It’s suitable for most skin types, but a consultation is essential to determine if it’s the right choice for your specific needs and skin condition.
3. Which areas can be treated with Profhilo?
Common treatment areas include the face, neck, décolletage, hands, and even the upper arms or knees. In Portishead, facial and neck treatments are particularly popular among patients looking for subtle yet effective rejuvenation.
4. What results can I expect from Profhilo?
You can expect smoother, firmer, and more radiant skin. Most patients notice an improvement in texture and hydration after just one session, with optimal results typically seen after the second treatment, spaced four weeks apart.
5. How long do the results last?
Results generally last up to six months, depending on your skin condition and lifestyle. Regular maintenance sessions every 6–9 months can help prolong the benefits.
6. Is Profhilo a dermal filler?
No, Profhilo is not a traditional filler. While it contains hyaluronic acid, its purpose is to hydrate and bio-remodel the skin rather than add volume or structure.
7. Is the treatment painful?
Discomfort is minimal. Profhilo is injected using a very fine needle into five specific points on each side of the face, known as the BAP (Bio Aesthetic Points) technique. Most patients in Portishead find the treatment very tolerable, and it’s usually completed in under 15 minutes.
8. Are there any side effects or downtime?
Side effects are minimal and may include slight redness, swelling, or small bumps at the injection sites, which typically resolve within 24 hours. There’s little to no downtime, so most people can return to daily activities straight away.
9.Can Profhilo be combined with other aesthetic treatments?
Yes, Profhilo can be safely combined with other treatments such as wrinkle smoothing, dermal fillers, microneedling, and skin boosters. In fact, many clients in the Portishead area opt for combination therapies to achieve more comprehensive facial rejuvenation. However, treatments should be spaced appropriately and planned during a consultation to ensure the best results without interfering with one another.
10. How do I choose a qualified Profhilo provider in Portishead?
Look for a medically qualified practitioner, such as a dentist or doctor, who is trained in aesthetic procedures. They should offer a thorough consultation, use genuine Profhilo products, and provide before-and-after care tailored to your needs.
