Skin Boosters
Treatment Areas
Skin
Polynucleotides are not ‘skin bosters’ although one of the Polynucleotide treatments that we use does contain Hyaluronic Acid (NEWEST), so is a combination treatment.
Skin boosters come in several types, each offering unique benefits to enhance the health and appearance of the skin.
They are generally hyaluronic acid based, a naturally occurring substance in the body, known for moisturising and volume enhancing properties.
Hyaluronic acid based skin boosters offer numerous benefits. They provide deep skin renewal, improve skin quality, and help reduce fine lines and wrinkles. They also offer long-lasting rejuvenation, improve skin elasticity, and improve skin tone. They can add volume to the skin, resulting in a youthful, radiant glow.
PROFHILO® uses bio-remodelling as an innovative approach to anti-ageing which counteracts skin laxity of the face and in traditionally difficult to treat areas, such as the neck, décolletage, hands and arms.
We also offer PROFHILO® BODY which I use on patients who want to improve the quality of skin in other areas- for example around the tummy button or knees.
Using bio-remodelling as an innovative approach to anti-ageing
Patients tell me that their skin feels smoother and looks brighter after PROFHILO®. It works very well when combined with dermal fillers. We often combine treatments to give natural incredible results.
Developed with IBSAs patented NAHYCO technology, PROFHILO® contains one of the highest concentrations of ultra pure hyaluronic acid and delivers prolonged efficacy.
Clinical data confirms improvement in skin texture, elasticity and hydration with an immediate tightening effect.
A specially developed injection technique reduces pain, downtime and the number of sessions, making it a really acceptable procedure for my patients, especially those who may not have had aesthetic treatments before.
The hyaluronic acid in PROFHILO® is not cross-linked which means that it is fully absorbed into the skin and therefore does not change how you look at all. Your skin however will glow and look more healthy.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
How many Profhilo treatments will I need?
To achieve optimal results we recommend 2 treatments spaced a month apart. To maintain the outcome further treatments are recommended every 4-6 months.
When will I see my results from Profihilo treatment?
Results can be seen by 4 weeks after your first treatment but many patients see improvement after 1-2 days. There will be patients who do not see the full result until after the second treatment. Treatment can last 9-12 months after the second session but results vary depending on the condition of your skin beforehand.
Does Profhilo treatment hurt?
Anaesthetic numbing cream is used if requested but this is not always wanted by patients. A very fine needle is used and so the discomfort is minimal. The use of a numbing cream can be discussed with you on the day.
Is there any downtime after Profhilo?
Profhilo does not require any downtime but there will be tiny raised lumps for a few hours after the treatment. This is because the gel needs to be placed very superficially in the skin in order to work as intended. These completely disappear leaving a smoother, brighter complexion.
How do I know which skin booster to ask for?
Your skin will be assessed and the best type of skin booster will be explained to you. This depends upon the treatment goal and preexisting skin concerns. The other skin bossing treatments are used in a similar way to Profhilo and are chosen according to patient need.
