Introduction
Profhilo Treatment in Essex
Often described as an “injectable moisturiser”, Profhilo is designed to improve hydration, skin texture and overall skin quality without adding filler-like volume or changing your facial features.
Treatment Overview
What Is Profhilo?
Profhilo is an injectable hyaluronic acid treatment used to support skin hydration and bio-remodelling. It has a more fluid consistency than traditional dermal filler and is administered at carefully selected injection points before dispersing through the surrounding tissue.
The treatment helps the skin retain moisture while supporting collagen and elastin production, which contribute to firmness and elasticity.
How it works
How Is Profhilo Different from Dermal Filler?
Dermal fillers are placed in specific areas to add or restore volume, improve contours or support facial structure. Profhilo is not designed to reshape the face.
Instead, it spreads through the treated tissue to improve hydration, texture and elasticity. Improvements develop gradually rather than creating an obvious change.
Where Can Profhilo Be Used?
Profhilo is most commonly used on the face. It may also be considered for the neck, décolletage and hands, where skin can become thinner, drier or more crepey with age. Your practitioner will assess whether Profhilo is appropriate for your concerns.
How Can Profhilo Improve Skin Quality?
Profhilo may help improve:
Fine lines and wrinkles
Dry or dehydrated skin
Crepey skin texture
Dull or tired-looking skin
Reduced firmness and elasticity
Mild skin laxity
The aim is not to stop the natural ageing process. Treatment is intended to support skin health and help the skin appear smoother, fresher and better hydrated.
Consultation
Your Profhilo Consultation
Your consultation will include a review of your medical history, medication and previous treatments. Your practitioner will assess your skin and explain the benefits, limitations, side effects and recommended course.
There is no pressure to proceed if you are unsure.
The Treatment Process
What happens during treatment?
The skin will be cleaned before Profhilo is injected at selected points. Small raised bumps may be visible immediately afterwards as the product begins to disperse.
Temporary redness, tenderness, swelling or bruising can also occur. You will receive personalised aftercare advice before leaving the clinic. Appointments usually take 30 minutes.

When will I see results?
Profhilo results are gradual. You may notice improved hydration first, followed by changes in skin texture, firmness and elasticity over the following weeks.
An initial course commonly involves two treatments approximately four weeks apart. Some patients may benefit from an additional session, depending on their skin health and goals. Maintenance treatments will then be recommended.
