FAQs about Profhilo in Manchester

What is Profhilo?

Profhilo is an injectable skin remodelling treatment containing one of the highest concentrations of hyaluronic acid available. It is designed to improve skin hydration, elasticity and overall skin quality while stimulating the production of collagen and elastin.

​

How does Profhilo work?

Once injected, Profhilo spreads beneath the skin and stimulates the production of collagen and elastin. This helps improve skin firmness, hydration and texture, creating a fresher and more youthful appearance over time.

​

Is Profhilo a dermal filler?

No. Profhilo is not a dermal filler. Unlike traditional fillers, it does not add volume or alter facial contours. Instead, it works to improve the quality and condition of the skin.

What concerns can Profhilo treat?

Profhilo is commonly used to improve skin laxity, dehydration, dullness, fine lines and loss of elasticity. It is particularly popular for clients experiencing early signs of ageing or skin that appears tired and crepey.

​

Which areas can be treated with Profhilo?

Profhilo is most commonly used on the face, but it can also be used on the neck, décolletage, hands and other areas where skin quality and elasticity have declined.

How many Profhilo treatments will I need?

Most clients require an initial course of two treatments spaced four weeks apart. Depending on your skin condition and goals, maintenance treatments may be recommended every 6–12 months.

​

When will I see results from Profhilo?

Many clients notice improved hydration within a few weeks of treatment. Improvements in skin firmness, elasticity and overall quality continue to develop over the following weeks as collagen and elastin production increases.

​

How long do Profhilo results last?

Results vary between individuals, but many clients enjoy the benefits for around six months before considering maintenance treatment.

Does Profhilo tighten skin?

Profhilo can improve skin firmness and elasticity, helping the skin appear tighter and more youthful. However, it is not a replacement for surgical procedures in cases of significant skin laxity.

​

Will Profhilo make my face look bigger or puffy?

No. Profhilo does not add volume in the same way as dermal fillers. Its purpose is to improve skin quality and hydration while maintaining natural facial contours.

Is Profhilo suitable for younger clients?

Yes. Profhilo can be used as both a preventative and rejuvenating treatment. Many younger clients choose Profhilo to maintain healthy, hydrated skin and support long-term skin quality.

​

Is Profhilo suitable for mature skin?

Yes. Profhilo is often chosen by clients experiencing skin laxity, dehydration and age-related changes in skin quality.

​

Does Profhilo hurt?

Most clients find treatment very tolerable. The injections are quick, and any discomfort is usually mild and short-lived.

​

Is there any downtime after Profhilo?

You may notice small bumps at the injection sites immediately after treatment. Mild swelling, redness or bruising can also occur. These effects are temporary and usually settle within a few hours to a few days.

​

Is Profhilo safe?

As with any injectable treatment, there are potential risks and side effects. A full consultation and medical assessment are carried out before treatment to ensure suitability and discuss any potential risks.

​

Who is suitable for Profhilo?

Profhilo may be suitable for clients who are concerned about skin laxity, dehydration, fine lines and overall skin quality. Suitability is determined during consultation.

Who is not suitable for Profhilo?

Treatment may not be suitable if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, have an active infection in the treatment area, certain medical conditions, or known allergies to any of the ingredients.

​

Can Profhilo be combined with other treatments?

Yes. Profhilo is commonly combined with treatments such as anti-wrinkle injections, dermal fillers, microneedling, polynucleotides and other skin rejuvenation treatments as part of a personalised treatment plan.

​

What is the difference between Profhilo and dermal filler?

Dermal fillers are designed to restore volume and enhance facial contours. Profhilo does not create volume; instead, it improves skin quality, hydration and elasticity throughout the treated area.

​

What is the difference between Profhilo and Seventy Hyal?

Both treatments contain hyaluronic acid and focus on improving skin quality. Profhilo is often chosen for its skin remodelling properties and stimulation of collagen and elastin production, while Seventy Hyal is primarily focused on improving hydration and skin glow.

​

What is the difference between Profhilo and Jalupro?

Profhilo contains highly concentrated hyaluronic acid and focuses on skin remodelling, hydration and elasticity. Jalupro combines hyaluronic acid with amino acids to support collagen production and improve skin quality. The most suitable treatment depends on your skin concerns and goals.

What is the difference between Profhilo and polynucleotides?

Profhilo primarily works through deep hydration and skin remodelling, while polynucleotides focus on tissue repair and cellular regeneration. Both treatments can improve skin quality, but they work through different mechanisms.

​

Will I still look natural after Profhilo?

Yes. Profhilo is designed to improve skin quality without changing your facial features. The aim is healthier, firmer, more hydrated skin while maintaining a completely natural appearance.

​

How do I know if Profhilo is right for me?

A consultation is the best way to determine suitability. Your skin concerns, medical history and treatment goals will be assessed to decide whether Profhilo is the most appropriate treatment or whether an alternative option may provide better results.
