About Profhilo
Profhilo is one of the most talked-about skin treatments in aesthetics — and for good reason. Unlike traditional dermal fillers that add volume, Profhilo works differently: it spreads across the skin and stimulates the body’s own collagen and elastin production, resulting in improved skin tone, texture, laxity, and a genuinely radiant, healthy glow.
With the highest concentration of hyaluronic acid of any injectable product on the market, Profhilo delivers intense hydration from within. It’s particularly effective for those noticing early skin laxity, dullness, or a loss of skin quality — and popular with clients in their 30s, 40s, and beyond. Our Edinburgh practitioners at the Gyle have extensive experience delivering Profhilo as both a standalone treatment and as part of a broader skin plan.
The Protocol
Profhilo is delivered as a two-session course, specifically designed to trigger a progressive biostimulation response in the skin.
A brief assessment of your skin quality, laxity, and goals to confirm Profhilo is the right treatment for you.
10 injection points (5 per side) using the BAP technique. Treatment takes approximately 20–30 minutes.
The second of the two-session protocol, completing the initial Profhilo course for optimal biostimulation.
Most clients maintain results with a single treatment every 6 months after the initial course.
Results & Benefits
Results develop progressively over 4–8 weeks following the initial two-session course. The skin gradually becomes more supple, plump, and radiant as collagen and elastin remodelling takes place. Many clients describe looking “fresher” rather than “done”.
Treatment Areas
Profhilo can be applied across multiple areas of the body where skin quality and laxity improvement is desired.
The most common treatment area; addresses overall skin quality, fine lines, and laxity across the face.
Improve skin texture and tightening in the neck and submental area.
Restore skin quality and hydration to the chest and upper chest area.
Rejuvenate ageing or sun-damaged skin on the backs of the hands.
Treatment Information
Profhilo is delivered as a two-session course, spaced 4 weeks apart. This protocol has been specifically designed to trigger a biostimulation cascade — the second session amplifies the initial response. After the course, most clients book a single maintenance session every 6 months.
Mild swelling or redness at the injection points is normal and resolves within a few hours. Avoid alcohol, strenuous exercise, and extreme heat on the day of treatment. No need to avoid normal daily activities — there is minimal downtime with Profhilo.
Profhilo is ideal for those noticing early skin laxity, loss of skin glow, or general skin quality decline. It’s suitable from the mid-30s onwards and works well alongside other treatments such as anti-wrinkle injections and dermal fillers. It is not suitable during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
