Profhilo®

Profhilo® is one of those treatments I genuinely love talking about because people are always surprised by what it actually does. It isn't filler. It's hyaluronic acid, but the kind that disperses through the skin rather than sitting in one place, so it plumps and hydrates from within without adding volume or changing anything about the structure of your face. Over time it works on elasticity too, and that quality, that bit of radiance and texture that tends to go quietly as the years go on, starts to come back.

What Profhilo® treats:

  • Skin laxity

  • Dehydrated skin

  • Reduced elasticity

  • Crepey skin texture

Outcomes to expect:

  • Improved hydration

  • Increased elasticity

  • Smoother texture

  • Subtle skin tightening

At a glance

  • From £320 per session

  • Recommended 2 sessions, spaced 4 weeks apart

  • Treatment time 30 minutes

  • Downtime minimal

  • Results visible from 4 weeks, full effect at 8 weeks

Who this is for

Profhilo® suits clients whose skin has lost its bounce, its hydration, or its smoothness over time, and who want to restore quality without altering the way they look.

  • Skin that feels dry or dehydrated regardless of skincare

  • Loss of elasticity or that "less bouncy" feeling

  • Crepey texture, particularly around the cheeks, neck, or décolletage

  • Clients who want results without filler, volume, or anything that changes their features

  • Anyone looking to invest in long-term skin quality rather than a quick aesthetic fix

At SKN Rx, Profhilo® is used as part of a sequenced approach, once the skin is stable and ready to respond properly.

What clients usually ask

Is Profhilo® a filler?

No. Profhilo® is hyaluronic acid but the kind that disperses through the skin rather than sitting in one place. It doesn't add volume or change the structure of your face. It improves the quality of the skin itself.

Is it suitable for all skin tones?

Yes. Profhilo® works with the skin's own biology and carries very low risk of pigmentation issues across all Fitzpatrick skin types.

How quickly will I see results?

First visible changes usually appear from around four weeks. The full effect of a course is typically seen at eight weeks, with continued improvement as the skin remodels.

Is the treatment painful?

Profhilo® uses very few injection points, which makes it well tolerated. A topical numbing cream can be applied if you'd prefer, but most clients are comfortable without it.

Is there any downtime?

Minimal. Small raised bumps at the injection sites may be visible for a few hours and usually settle within 24 hours. Most clients return to normal life the same day.

What to expect after treatment

A clear guide to how your skin will look and feel as it recovers and remodels.

Day 0 Treatment day. Small raised bumps may be visible at the five injection points and usually settle within a few hours. Avoid makeup over the area and skip exercise for 24 hours.

Days 1–2 Bumps and mild redness fully resolve. Skin feels normal again. Detailed aftercare provided after your appointment.

Weeks 1–4 The hyaluronic acid disperses through the skin and stimulates collagen and elastin. First subtle changes in hydration and texture become noticeable.

Weeks 4–8 The most significant change in this window. Improved hydration, elasticity, and texture. Skin looks healthier and feels firmer. The second session is usually scheduled at week 4.

Week 8 onwards Full effect of the course is visible. Skin quality, radiance, and elasticity all improved. Maintenance typically every 6 months.

If Profhilo® sounds like the right next step for your skin, the consultation is where it begins.
