The science
How does Profhilo work?
Your practitioner injects Profhilo at five points on each side of the face. The gel spreads out under the skin over the next 24 hours, releasing hyaluronic acid over several weeks. That hydration and the stimulus to your skin cells rebuild firmness from within, and each session in the course builds on the last.

Results
What results can I expect?
Most clients see brighter, more hydrated skin within a couple of weeks of the first session. Your course is 2 sessions four weeks apart, then a third 2 to 3 months later. After the course, skin looks firmer and smoother, and the result lasts about 6 months. We recommend a top-up session twice a year to maintain it.

Questions
Profhilo FAQs
What is Profhilo?
Profhilo is an injectable skin booster made of pure hyaluronic acid. It spreads under the skin to hydrate it from within and encourage collagen and elastin, so skin looks firmer and more radiant without any added volume.
How much does Profhilo cost in London?
At PureSkin, Profhilo costs from £350 per session. A standard course is 3 sessions: two four weeks apart, then a third 2 to 3 months later. Your consultation is free.
How many Profhilo sessions do I need?
The standard course is 3 sessions: two spaced four weeks apart, then a third 2 to 3 months later. After that, most clients book a top-up session twice a year to keep their results.
How long does Profhilo last?
Results from a full course last about 6 months. Your age, skin and lifestyle affect how long they last, and a top-up session twice a year maintains them.
When will I see results from Profhilo?
Most clients notice brighter, more hydrated skin within 2 weeks of the first session. The full result shows after the third session.
Is Profhilo the same as fillers?
No. Fillers add volume to shape areas such as lips, cheeks and the jawline. Profhilo spreads under the skin to hydrate and firm it, and adds no volume, so your features keep their shape.
What is the difference between Profhilo and polynucleotides?
Profhilo uses hyaluronic acid to hydrate and firm the skin. Polynucleotides support the skin’s repair processes and suit delicate areas such as the under-eyes. Some clients combine both in one skin plan.
Does Profhilo hurt?
Most clients feel a small pinch and a brief sting at each of the injection points. The treatment takes about 30 minutes and you can return to normal plans the same day.
What are the side effects of Profhilo?
Small bumps at the injection points are normal and settle within 24 hours. Some clients have mild redness, tenderness or a small bruise.
What age is best for Profhilo?
Profhilo suits adults from their 30s who notice dehydration or early laxity, and clients in their 50s and beyond who want firmer, healthier skin without fillers.

PureSkin offers Profhilo at 11 Welbeck Street, London W1G 9XZ, in Marylebone, a minute from Harley Street and a short walk from Bond Street station. The clinic is open Monday to Saturday, 11am to 7pm.
