What It Does

Skin boosters are injectable hyaluronic acid treatments that deeply hydrate and improve skin quality from within. Profhilo, a premium skin booster, features high concentrations of hyaluronic acid and stimulates collagen and elastin production. These treatments enhance skin texture, elasticity, and radiance without adding volume.

Key Benefits

Improves skin elasticity and hydration. Enhances natural radiance and glow. Smooths fine lines and improves texture. Subtle, natural results that look like healthy skin. Stimulates collagen for long-term improvement. Works beautifully as a foundation for other treatments.

Who It's Suitable For

Anyone with dull, dehydrated, or tired-looking skin. Perfect for those in their 30s+ seeking preventative care. Ideal before addressing specific concerns with other treatments. Those wanting an overall skin quality improvement. Suitable for all skin types.

Preparation & Aftercare

No special preparation needed. After treatment: avoid touching treated areas for 24 hours, skip strenuous exercise for 24–48 hours, avoid facials and massage for a week, use gentle skincare, and apply SPF 50+ daily. Results improve over 4 weeks as collagen production increases.

Expected Results

Subtle improvement in skin texture and radiance within 1 week. Progressive results over 4–6 weeks. Peak results at 8–12 weeks as collagen builds. Effects last 6–12 months. Many patients do maintenance treatments every 6–9 months.

Your Questions Answered

Common Questions About Skin Boosters & Profhilo

What is the difference between Profhilo and a traditional filler?

Unlike traditional fillers, Profhilo does not add volume or change facial contours. Instead, it spreads beneath the skin to stimulate collagen and elastin production, improving overall skin quality, elasticity, and hydration. Think of it as a treatment for the skin itself, rather than for a specific area.

How many Profhilo sessions will I need?

The standard protocol is two sessions spaced four weeks apart. Many patients notice a visible improvement after just one session, with full results developing over the following weeks. Dr. Patel will advise on whether a maintenance session every 6–9 months is right for you.

When will I see results?

You may notice a subtle improvement in skin radiance within the first week. The most significant results develop progressively over 4–8 weeks as collagen and elastin production increases. Your skin will continue to improve throughout this period.

Is Profhilo suitable for all ages?

Profhilo is effective for a wide age range. Younger patients in their late 20s and 30s often use it as a preventative treatment to maintain skin quality, while older patients benefit from its bioremodelling and lifting effects.

Can I have Profhilo alongside other treatments?

Yes. Profhilo works beautifully alongside anti-wrinkle injections and dermal fillers as part of a comprehensive treatment plan. Dr. Patel will advise on the optimal sequence and spacing of treatments for the best results.
