Skin Boosters (Profhilo)

The versatility of injectable skin hydration allows practitioner to address several areas on the face and body. Each area may experience enhanced smoothness, tone, and restored radiance. Areas most often treated with skin boosters include:

• Full face to refresh complexion and provide an even appearance

• Neck, focusing on lines that can form due to ageing or movement

• Décolletage to address sun exposure and skin texture

• Hands for rejuvenation and the appearance of fine lines

Clients often inquire about the distinctions between skin boosters and other treatments. Each solution offers characteristics and works in specific ways to support skin health objectives. Understanding each option can help you select a treatment plan with your practitioner. Here is what you should know:

• Skin boosters focus on hydration, radiance, and texture without altering facial shape.

• Dermal fillers are used to restore volume, fill deep lines, and contour facial features such as cheeks, lips, and the under-eye area.

• Fillers often address specific areas requiring contouring.

• Microneedling creates micro-injuries, triggering a natural healing response for improved texture and reduced scarring.

• Skin boosters and microneedling can be used together for combined aspects of resurfacing and hydration.

Advancements in medical aesthetics continue to evolve and offer new solutions. Profhilo treatments are a type of rejuvenation therapy with unique properties. Explore what you should know:

Profhilo treatment is also available at Elegant Clinic. This skin rejuvenation treatment uses high concentrations of hyaluronic acid to hydrate, remodel, and potentially tighten skin. The product disperses across the treated area for a natural appearance.

Profhilo offers the following:

• Intense hydration for supple, refreshed skin

• Visible improvement in skin laxity and tone

• No drastic changes in facial shape

• Few side effects and minimal downtime

Patients undergoing a skin booster journey may experience changes over several weeks, with aspects typically appearing after several sessions. The skin’s transformation occurs gradually, supporting long-term skin health. Clients can expect:

• A quick in-clinic procedure with minimal discomfort

• Initial plumping and hydration, visible soon after treatment

• Progressive changes in texture, elasticity, and glow over three to six weeks

• Results that may last up to six months, varying by individual skin characteristics and care routines

• Maintenance sessions are available every four to six months.

Proper aftercare is important for results and skin recovery. Following specialist recommendations helps keep skin hydrated and can reduce any minor side effects from injectable treatments. Clear guidelines allow clients to return to daily routines. Patients should:

• Keep the area clean and avoid touching injection sites.

• Refrain from applying makeup for at least twelve hours post-procedure.

• Avoid strenuous exercise and high temperatures for twenty-four hours.

• Use gentle, fragrance-free moisturisers and sunscreen.

• Avoid alcohol consumption on the day of treatment.

What is the difference between skin boosters and dermal fillers?
Skin boosters hydrate and improve skin quality without changing your facial structure. Dermal fillers are designed to add volume, contour features, and fill deep wrinkles.

How many sessions will I need?
For optimal results, we typically recommend an initial course of 2-3 treatments spaced about 4 weeks apart, followed by maintenance sessions.

Is Profhilo a skin booster?
Profhilo is a distinct type of injectable treatment. While it shares the hydrating properties of skin boosters, it also has a bio-remodelling effect that helps to tighten and lift the skin, making it a great option for addressing skin laxity.
