Skin Boosters vs Profhilo

Classic skin boosters are lightly stabilised hyaluronic acid placed in micro-deposits across an area. They hydrate from within, improve fine crepiness and refine texture, and are typically given as a course of two to three sessions four weeks apart.

They suit dehydrated, dull or finely lined skin, and work well on the face, neck, décolletage and hands.

Profhilo is an ultra-pure, high-concentration hyaluronic acid that spreads through the tissue rather than staying where it is placed. It is delivered to five precise points per side and stimulates collagen and elastin as well as hydrating.

The result is bio-remodelling: improved firmness and bounce alongside hydration. The standard protocol is two sessions four weeks apart, then maintenance every six months.

Choose skin boosters when the primary complaint is dryness, dullness or fine texture, or when you want a targeted area such as under-eyes, neck or hands treated intensively.

Choose Profhilo when the primary complaint is laxity and loss of bounce — typically skin that looks tired and slightly deflated rather than simply dry.

Neither replaces anti-wrinkle treatment or structural filler. They improve the quality of the canvas, not the shape of the face.

They pair well. A common approach is Profhilo for global firmness, with a targeted booster course for a specific concern such as under-eye crepiness or the neck.

Treatments are spaced rather than stacked in one visit, so the skin has time to respond and results can be assessed accurately.

Expect small raised bumps for a few hours after Profhilo and mild pinpoint marks after boosters; both settle quickly and makeup can usually be worn the next day.

Visible improvement builds over four to eight weeks as collagen responds. Most clients maintain results with a top-up every six months.
