HYDRATION. FIRMNESS. TEXTURE.
An injectable treatment designed to hydrate the skin and improve its quality, without adding volume or changing the shape of your features.
ABOUT THIS TREATMENT
Profhilo is an injectable hyaluronic acid treatment. Where dermal fillers stay in place to add volume and structure, Profhilo spreads beneath the skin surface. It does not add bulk. The manufacturer describes it as bio-remodelling and says it supports collagen and elastin in the skin.
As we age, the skin loses collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid, which shows as sagging, dullness and a crepey texture. Profhilo is aimed at skin quality rather than volume, and the hyaluronic acid hydrates the treated area.
Prof. Hindocha administers Profhilo using the BAP (Bio Aesthetic Points) technique, a mapped protocol of five injection points per side designed to spread the product evenly. Treatment is delivered as two sessions four weeks apart, and any change builds gradually over about three months.
UNDERSTAND THE DIFFERENCE
Both use hyaluronic acid. Both are injectable. But they work completely differently. Understanding which one is right for your concern saves time, money, and disappointment.
| Profhilo | Dermal Fillers | |
|---|---|---|
| Mechanism | Spreads beneath the skin to hydrate it; the manufacturer says it supports collagen and elastin | Volumisation: stays in a defined location to add structure, contour, and lift |
| Volume Effect | None. Features are unchanged; it targets skin quality | Adds volume to targeted areas. Can change facial proportions and definition |
| Best For | Skin quality, firmness, texture, hydration, and crepiness across larger areas | Volume loss, hollow cheeks, thinning lips, nasolabial folds, and deep folds |
| Sessions | 2 sessions 4 weeks apart, then maintenance every 6 months | Single session with results lasting 6–18 months depending on the area |
| Appearance | Aims for skin that looks well, not treated | Immediate structural improvement visible from the session itself |

AFTER YOUR TREATMENT
Day of Treatment
Small bumps at the injection sites are normal and expected. These resolve within 12–24 hours as the product spreads beneath the skin. Mild redness or tenderness may be present. Avoid makeup for 6 hours post-treatment.
First 24 Hours
Avoid strenuous exercise, excessive heat (saunas, steam rooms), and alcohol for 24 hours. This allows the product to spread evenly and reduces the risk of bruising or uneven distribution.
Weeks 1–2
The first change is usually in hydration, as the hyaluronic acid holds water in the skin. Fine surface lines caused by dehydration may begin to soften.
Weeks 4–12
The second session follows at 4 weeks. Any change in firmness or texture develops gradually and can be judged at around 8–12 weeks. A top-up every 6 months maintains it if you choose to continue.
WHAT IT AIMS TO DO
Profhilo is designed to improve skin quality without changing your features. Any change is gradual and subtle, aimed at skin that looks hydrated and healthy. No added volume. No altered structure. Just a measurably better version of your own skin.
TIMELINE
Profhilo works gradually, not immediately. Any change develops over the weeks after treatment, which the manufacturer attributes to a collagen and elastin response in the skin.
WEEKS 1–2
The skin can feel softer and more supple as the hyaluronic acid takes effect. Fine surface lines caused by dehydration may begin to soften.
WEEKS 4–8
The second session follows at 4 weeks. Any change in firmness and texture develops gradually after it, and varies from person to person.
WEEKS 8–12
This is when the effect of the course can be judged. The aim is a natural result, so you look well rather than treated. Any effect can be maintained with a top-up every 6 months.
WHY PATIENTS CHOOSE PROFHILO
Profhilo improves the quality of the skin without changing the shape of your face. The aim is better skin quality with no change to your features, which suits patients who want improvement without obvious signs of treatment.
Profhilo can be used on the face, neck, décolletage, and hands, where crepey texture, laxity and dehydration are often visible. One protocol covers the full area.
Rather than introducing a long-lasting structure, Profhilo works with the processes in your own skin, and the manufacturer says it supports collagen and elastin. Any change builds gradually over about three months, not overnight.
Two sessions of 30 minutes. Small temporary bumps that resolve within a day. No meaningful downtime and no restrictions beyond 24 hours. The treatment fits around a normal routine.
IS THIS TREATMENT RIGHT FOR YOU?
Profhilo is suited to patients experiencing early to moderate signs of skin ageing where the concern is quality and texture rather than volume loss or deep folds. A consultation with Prof. Hindocha will confirm whether it is the most appropriate treatment for your skin.

After years of being unhappy with my breasts after breastfeeding, I'm so glad I trusted my instincts and waited until I found the right surgeon. From my first consultation, Professor Hindocha made me feel completely at ease and I knew I could trust him. I'm only a week post-op and already love my results. I feel incredibly lucky to have found him and truly believe I found the best surgeon.
