Profhilo
Profhilo Treatment in Surrey – Natural Skin Quality Improvement
A well-established injectable treatment designed to improve hydration, elasticity and overall skin quality.
Rather than adding volume or altering facial structures, it works at a deeper biological level — stimulating your skin to regenerate itself from within to produce a fresher, more hydrated appearance. Profhilo is a popular injectable treatment for patients who feel their skin looks tired, dull or less elastic.
Unlike dermal fillers, it is not designed to add volume or reshape facial features. Instead, it focuses on improving hydration and skin quality, helping patients look fresher and healthier in a subtle, natural way.
What is Profhilo ?
Profhilo is based on hyaluronic acid, a substance naturally present in the body.
It is commonly described as a biostimulating or skin remodelling treatment rather than a volumising treatment.
Once injected, Profhilo disperses within the skin and stimulates:
Collagen production
Elastin production
Improved skin hydration
Over time, this leads to:
Smoother skin texture
Improved firmness
A more refreshed appearance
Results develop gradually and typically improve over several weeks.
