Profhilo Skin Booster in Altrincham

While both Profhilo and dermal fillers contain hyaluronic acid, they work in completely different ways.
Dermal fillers are designed to add structure, volume, and definition to specific areas — for example, the lips, cheeks, or jawline.
Profhilo, on the other hand, is a bio-remodelling treatment. It spreads evenly beneath the skin, improving overall skin quality, hydration, and elasticity rather than changing facial shape. The result is smoother, firmer, and more radiant skin without added volume.

Both Profhilo and Sculptra stimulate collagen, but they work through different mechanisms.

Profhilo uses pure hyaluronic acid to deeply hydrate and trigger collagen and elastin production, giving an instant glow and gradual tightening effect.

Sculptra contains poly-L-lactic acid, which stimulates collagen more slowly and is often used to restore volume and structure over time.

If you’re looking for improved skin texture and hydration, Profhilo is usually the preferred choice; for long-term volume restoration, Sculptra may be more suitable.

Profhilo is ideal for anyone noticing early signs of skin ageing such as dullness, dryness, or fine lines. It’s particularly beneficial for patients in their 30s to 60s who want to boost their skin’s natural collagen and elasticity without adding volume or looking “done.” Profhilo is also a great preventative treatment for those who want to maintain firmness and glow as they age.

Most people are suitable for Profhilo, but it’s best for those who have mild to moderate skin laxity, fine lines, or loss of elasticity. During your consultation, Dr Karim will assess your skin, medical history, and treatment goals to ensure Profhilo is right for you.
Patients who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have active skin infections in the treatment area should avoid Profhilo until a later time.

Results typically last around six months, depending on your skin type, lifestyle, and skincare routine. After your initial two-session treatment, many patients choose to maintain their results with top-up sessions every 6–9 months to keep the skin hydrated and firm.

Profhilo is versatile and can be used in several areas to rejuvenate the skin, including:

• Face – smooths fine lines and restores radiance

• Neck and décolletage – reduces crepiness and improves firmness

• Hands – hydrates and refreshes thin, ageing skin

• Arms and knees – improves tone and texture in areas prone to laxity

Profhilo delivers deep hydration, boosts collagen and elastin production, and improves skin elasticity.
Patients love it for its ability to:

• Give a natural, refreshed glow

• Smooth fine lines and tighten skin

• Improve texture and tone

• Hydrate from within

• Achieve results that look healthy, not “filled”

You’ll usually start to see visible improvements within 2–4 weeks after your first session, as your skin becomes more hydrated and radiant.

Full results develop gradually after your second session, around 8 weeks from the start of treatment, as new collagen and elastin form beneath the skin. Results continue to improve over time, giving your skin a smoother, firmer, and more luminous appearance.
