Frequently asked questions
What is Profhilo?
Profhilo is an injectable skin remodelling treatment containing a high concentration of hyaluronic acid. Unlike traditional dermal fillers, Profhilo is not designed to add volume or reshape facial features. Instead, it spreads through the skin to support hydration and stimulate the activity of cells involved in producing collagen and elastin, which contribute to skin firmness and elasticity. At Juvenology in Maidstone, Kent, I use Profhilo treatment as part of a regenerative approach to improving skin quality while keeping expectations realistic.
How does Profhilo work?
Profhilo treatment works by injecting stabilised hyaluronic acid into specific points of the skin, where it disperses and interacts with the surrounding tissue. The hyaluronic acid attracts water, improving hydration, while research suggests it may stimulate fibroblast activity, supporting the production of collagen and elastin. It does not work like a filler by physically lifting or adding structure. At Juvenology in Maidstone, Kent, I explain that skin rejuvenation treatments work gradually by supporting your skin’s natural biology.
When will I see results after Profhilo?
Results from Profhilo develop gradually as the skin responds to increased hydration and collagen stimulation. Some patients notice improvements in skin hydration and texture within the first few weeks, while more noticeable changes often appear around 4 to 8 weeks after treatment. The skin may continue to improve as collagen and elastin production are supported over the following months. Results vary between individuals depending on age, skin condition, lifestyle, and biological response. At Juvenology in Maidstone, Kent, I explain that Profhilo is a regenerative treatment, not an instant facelift.
How many Profhilo treatments will I need?
A typical Profhilo treatment course involves 2 initial treatments, usually spaced around 4 weeks apart. Some patients may benefit from additional sessions depending on their age, skin quality, and treatment goals. After the initial course, maintenance treatments may be considered, often around 6 to 12 months later, depending on individual response. At Juvenology in Maidstone, Kent, I personalise recommendations based on your skin health rather than applying a fixed schedule to everyone.
Is Profhilo safe?
Profhilo treatment has an established safety profile when performed by appropriately trained healthcare professionals. However, it is an injectable procedure and is not completely without risk. Possible side effects include redness, swelling, bruising, tenderness, itching, or temporary lumps around injection points. Rare complications can occur with any injectable treatment. At Juvenology in Maidstone, Kent, I prioritise patient safety, careful assessment, and precise injection technique to ensure you understand both the potential benefits and limitations before treatment.
