In the ever-evolving world of aesthetics, one treatment has gained significant attention for its ability to rejuvenate the skin without surgery: Profhilo. Known as an injectable moisturiser, Profhilo is designed to improve skin hydration, elasticity, and overall radiance. At Skinox Aesthetics in Leicester, our clients are increasingly choosing Profhilo to restore youthful vitality and achieve natural-looking results. But what exactly is Profhilo, how does it work, and why is it considered one of the most innovative skin boosters available today? Let’s take a closer look.
What is Profhilo?
Profhilo is a revolutionary injectable skin treatment made from hyaluronic acid (HA), a substance naturally found in the skin. Unlike traditional dermal fillers, which are used to add volume or contour specific areas, Profhilo spreads beneath the skin to improve hydration, smoothness, and elasticity across a wider area. This makes it ideal for clients who want to combat dullness, fine lines, and loss of skin firmness.
How Does Profhilo Work?
The treatment involves a series of small injections placed strategically in areas of the face (or sometimes the neck, décolletage, or hands). Profhilo contains one of the highest concentrations of hyaluronic acid available, which attracts water into the skin and stimulates the natural production of collagen and elastin. Over time, this results in tighter, smoother, and more radiant skin.
Who is Profhilo Suitable For?
Profhilo is suitable for men and women of all skin types, typically from their late 20s onwards. It is particularly effective for those noticing the early signs of ageing, such as fine lines, crepey skin and a loss of elasticity. At Skinox Aesthetics, our medical professionals carry out a full consultation to assess your suitability and recommend the best treatment plan.
The Benefits of Profhilo
Profhilo has become one of the most talked-about treatments in aesthetics, and for good reason. The key benefits include:
– Deep hydration for dry or tired-looking skin
– Improved skin texture and elasticity
– Reduction in fine lines and wrinkles
– Natural, subtle results without altering facial features
– Minimal downtime, with most clients returning to daily activities immediately
The Treatment Process
At Skinox Aesthetics in Leicester, the Profhilo treatment process is straightforward and comfortable. The procedure typically involves two sessions, spaced four weeks apart. Each session takes around 30 minutes, during which tiny injections of Profhilo are administered in precise points across the treatment area. Clients may experience slight redness or swelling at the injection sites, but these effects usually resolve within 24–48 hours.
When Will I See Results?
Many clients begin to notice improvements in their skin’s hydration and radiance within a week of the first session. However, the full benefits usually become apparent after the second session, when collagen and elastin production has been further stimulated. Results can last up to six months, after which maintenance treatments may be recommended.
Is Profhilo Safe?
Yes. Profhilo is a CE-marked medical product, meaning it has undergone rigorous testing for safety and efficacy. At Skinox, all treatments are administered by qualified healthcare professionals in a safe, clinical environment. As with any injectable, there may be minor side effects such as redness, swelling, or bruising, but these are temporary and resolve quickly.
Profhilo vs Dermal Fillers
While both Profhilo and dermal fillers use hyaluronic acid, they serve very different purposes. Fillers are designed to restore lost volume and reshape specific areas such as the lips, cheeks or jawline. Profhilo, on the other hand, spreads evenly to improve overall skin quality without changing the structure of the face. Many clients choose to combine both treatments for comprehensive rejuvenation.
