Profhilo Treatment, West Malling, Kent

If you’re considering Profhilo as a way to refresh and rejuvenate your skin, you might be wondering how soon you’ll see those promising results. Let’s dive into what Profhilo is, how it works, who might benefit from it, and when you can expect to see that youthful glow.

What is Profhilo?

Profhilo is often described as a “skin booster,” but it’s so much more than your average moisturiser or serum. It’s an injectable treatment made from a highly concentrated form of hyaluronic acid, a substance your body naturally produces to keep your skin hydrated and plump. Unlike traditional dermal fillers, which add volume to specific areas, Profhilo works more holistically. It spreads evenly under the skin to improve its overall texture, elasticity, and hydration.

Think of it as a giant drink of water for your skin. But instead of just sitting on the surface, Profhilo works its magic deep in the skin’s layers, encouraging collagen and elastin production. The result? Firmer, smoother, and more radiant skin.

How does Profhilo work?

The process is straightforward. Profhilo is administered in two sessions, spaced about four weeks apart. During each session, small injections are made into key areas of the face (or other areas, like the neck or hands). The treatment uses a special technique to ensure the hyaluronic acid spreads evenly under the skin.

Once injected, the hyaluronic acid immediately gets to work. It draws moisture into the skin while kickstarting a natural regeneration process. Over time, it stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, two essential building blocks for youthful skin.

Are Profhilo results instant?

Now, onto the big question: will you see instant results? The short answer is no. While Profhilo gets to work right away beneath the surface, visible results take a bit longer to appear.

Immediately after treatment, you might notice that your skin feels more hydrated and a little smoother. However, the real transformation happens gradually over the weeks following your injections. The peak results are typically evident about four weeks after your second session, as collagen and elastin production ramps up.

So, if you’re hoping to wake up the next day with completely transformed skin, you might be disappointed. But stick with it! The slow and steady results are long-lasting and natural-looking.

Who is a good candidate for Profhilo?

Profhilo is ideal for anyone experiencing signs of skin ageing, such as fine lines and wrinkles, loss of elasticity, and dull, dehydrated skin.

It’s particularly effective for people in their 30s and older who want to address early signs of ageing without going down more invasive routes. Since it’s not about adding volume but improving skin quality, Profhilo offers subtle but powerful results.

When will you see results?

Here’s a rough timeline of what you can expect after completing your treatment course:

• Immediately after treatment: Your skin might feel more hydrated, and there’s often a slight plumping effect. Some people experience mild swelling or redness at the injection sites, but this usually subsides within 24 hours.
• 1-2 weeks after treatment: You’ll start to notice improvements in skin texture and hydration, but it’s still early days.
• 4 weeks after your second session: This is the sweet spot. By now, your skin will likely feel firmer, smoother, and more radiant. The results will continue to develop over the next few weeks as collagen and elastin production increases.
• 6 months post-treatment: The effects of Profhilo generally last for six months, although some people see benefits for even longer with the right skincare approach.

Profhilo isn’t an instant fix, but it’s a fantastic option if you’re looking for a treatment that improves skin from the inside out. With visible results that develop over time, it’s perfect for anyone seeking a subtle yet powerful boost in skin quality.
