About Skin Boosters and Profhilo
A face-to-face consultation is essential to assess your goals, skin/scalp condition, medical history, and to choose the right treatment and plan.
What they are
- Skin boosters: Microinjections of hydrating/biostimulatory substances (commonly hyaluronic acid (HA); sometimes polynucleotides, amino acids, vitamins) placed superficially in the skin to improve quality and radiance. Usually done in a series.
- Profhilo: A branded, high-concentration, thermally stabilized hyaluronic acid designed for “bio-remodeling”—improving skin hydration, elasticity, and firmness. It’s not a filler (doesn’t add volume like traditional fillers) and is typically delivered at standardised points.
Key benefits (skin)
- Hydration and glow: Replenishes HA and water content, improving luminosity and plumpness.
- Texture and fine lines: Softens crepiness, fine lines, and improves elasticity.
- Skin quality: Can support collagen/elastin activity over time, improving firmness and bounce.
- Areas: Face, neck, décolleté, hands; Profhilo is popular for face/neck.
Key points for hair/scalp
- Scalp “boosters”: Certain mesotherapy-style treatments (e.g., HA with peptides, vitamins, or polynucleotides) and PRP are used to support scalp health and hair quality in some patients by improving hydration and microenvironment.
Treatment course and downtime
- Skin boosters: Often 2–3 sessions, 2–4 weeks apart; maintenance every 3–6 months. Minimal downtime (possible small bumps for 24–72 hours).
- Profhilo: Commonly 2 sessions, 4 weeks apart; top-ups every 6–12 months. Usually minimal downtime, small lumps at injection points can occur for 1–3
days.​​
