Profhilo

It's an injectable, but it isn't a filler in the sense people usually mean. It won't change your shape and it won't alter your proportions. If that's what you're after, this is the wrong page.

What it is

An injectable treatment aimed at the quality of the skin rather than at structure or volume.

What people notice, and what they don't

People who respond well to it tend to describe the change in terms of how their skin looks and feels rather than in terms of shape. It's a subtle effect, and it isn't dramatic in photographs.

It won't lift tissue that has descended, it won't fill a defined line, and it won't do anything about the structural changes that filler addresses. It also isn't a treatment for acne scarring or pigmentation.

Is it suitable for me?

It suits some people and not others, and that depends on your skin, your age, what's actually bothering you and what you're hoping for. Expectation is the thing that decides whether people are pleased with this treatment.

We take a history before anything is agreed.

Sessions

Profhilo is normally given as more than a single session. We won't tell you how many before we've assessed you.

Risks

Small bumps at the injection points are usual at first and settle. Bruising and tenderness are common.

As with any injectable treatment there's a small risk of infection, and rarer complications are possible. We'll go through what applies to you.

Questions patients ask

  • No. Different purpose, different effect.

  • Sometimes clearly, sometimes subtly, and occasionally not enough to justify repeating it. Better said at the start than discovered three sessions in.

  • Often, but the order and timing matter and we'd plan it properly.
