Profhilo Skin Booster in London & Manchester
Profhilo Treatment in Altrincham & London
Give your skin the ultimate glow from within with Profhilo, one of the most advanced injectable treatments for improving skin quality, firmness, and radiance. Profhilo contains the highest concentration of hyaluronic acid on the market and works by stimulating your collagen and elastin production. Unlike traditional fillers, Profhilo treatment doesn’t add volume or change your facial structure - instead, it deeply hydrates and remodels the skin from within, leaving you with an incredible glow and healthier, firmer, more plump skin.
Performed by Dr Karim Ghabra, a practising GP and aesthetics doctor, Profhilo injections are ideal for patients looking to restore elasticity and smoothness to their skin without altering their natural features.

What is Profhilo?
Profhilo is a unique injectable made from pure hyaluronic acid, designed to improve skin tone, texture, and hydration. Once injected, it spreads evenly beneath the skin to stimulate the production of collagen and elastin, helping to firm and rejuvenate areas affected by ageing or dehydration. Whilst Profhilo uses hyaluronic acid, similar to fillers, it is not a dermal filler, Profhilo works by improving the overall skin health rather than adding volume or contouring.

What Areas Can Profhilo Treat?
Profhilo can be used on multiple areas of the body, each benefiting from its hydrating and tightening effects:
Face – improves texture, elasticity, and radiance while reducing fine lines and sagging around the cheeks, jawline, and lower face.
Neck – smooths crepey skin and restores hydration, helping to reduce lines and laxity.
Décolletage – targets sun-damaged or thin skin, improving firmness and glow.
Hands – restores moisture and volume to ageing hands, reducing the appearance of veins and wrinkles.
Arms – helps with crepey or lax skin, often due to ageing or weight changes.
Knees – rejuvenates loose skin, improving texture and hydration in this often-overlooked area.
Understanding Profhilo Treatment
Why Choose Profhilo With Dr Karim
As both a GP and aesthetics practitioner, Dr Karim takes a medical, holistic approach to skin rejuvenation — focusing on safety, balance, and natural results. You’ll receive a thorough consultation where he’ll assess your skin health, discuss your goals, and determine if Profhilo is right for you.
How Does Profhilo Work?
Profhilo is injected into specific bio-aesthetic points beneath the skin using fine needles. Once injected, the hyaluronic acid diffuses across the tissue to stimulate natural collagen and elastin production, improving skin quality from within. Most patients require two sessions, spaced four weeks apart, with results improving gradually over the following months.
Who is Profhilo For?
Profhilo is ideal for men and women noticing: loss of firmness or elasticity, fine lines or crepey texture, dull, dehydrated skin and early signs of ageing.

Frequently Asked Questions about Profhilo
-
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.
