Profhilo Injectable Moisturiser | London & Truro
Profhilo is an advanced injectable moisturiser designed to deeply hydrate and rejuvenate the skin. Made from highly concentrated, purified hyaluronic acid, it works by improving skin elasticity and firmness rather than adding structure or volume like traditional dermal fillers.
At Update Aesthetics, we use Profhilo to treat the face, neck, and décolletage, helping to reduce sagging, fine lines, and dullness for a fresh, youthful glow. The treatment involves 10 precise injection points, where the product spreads naturally to improve skin texture and hydration.
During your private consultation at our London or Truro clinics, our expert nurses will assess your skin and recommend the best approach, ensuring natural, radiant results that can complement other aesthetic treatments.

What Is Profhilo
Profhilo is an injectable treatment made from a high concentration of pure hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid occurs naturally in the skin and helps it hold water, but levels fall as we age. Profhilo is injected at 10 set points on the face and spreads evenly beneath the skin, improving hydration and supporting the skin's own collagen and elastin. It does not change your facial shape or add volume, which is why it is often called an injectable moisturiser.
What Can Profhilo Be Used For?
Dermal filler treatment can be considered for several areas of the face depending on your anatomy and goals. This may include:
supporting facial contours
softening deeper facial folds
enhancing lip shape and volume
Dull, dehydrated or tired-looking skin
Mild laxity on the lower face and jawline
Crepey skin on the neck
Fine lines and texture on the decolletage
Skin that has lost firmness after weight loss or with age
If your main concern is the lips, you can also explore our Lip Augmentation treatment.
Profhilo can be combined with other treatments. See our Dermal Fillers, Polynucleotides and Jalupro pages.
Natural-Looking Results
Profhilo improves the quality of your skin rather than changing your features, so results look like healthier, more hydrated skin. Most patients notice a fresher, more radiant look that friends comment on without being able to say what has changed.
During your consultation, we will discuss:
what you would like to improve
the areas contributing to your concern
your facial proportions and anatomy
which areas could be treated
the amount of product that may be appropriate
realistic treatment outcomes

Profhilo is injected at 10 points on the face, or at set points on the neck or decolletage. This part takes around 10 to 15 minutes.
Appointments typically take around 45 minutes including consultation, although treatment time can vary depending on the number of areas being treated.
How Long Do Profhilo Last?
A standard course is two sessions, four weeks apart. Results build over the following weeks and usually last around six months.
Many patients then have a single maintenance session every six months to keep their skin looking its best.
The exact duration varies between patients and can depend on:
the area treated
your metabolism
lifestyle factors
the type and amount of filler use
facial movement
previous treatments
Profhilo FAQs
-
No, Profhilo is not a dermal filler. Both are made from hyaluronic acid, but filler is a thicker gel that adds volume and shape, while Profhilo spreads under the skin to improve hydration and firmness. At Update Aesthetics, some patients have both treatments as part of a wider plan.
-
Most patients need two Profhilo sessions, four weeks apart, to start with. After that, one maintenance session every six months is usually enough. Your practitioner at Update Aesthetics will recommend a plan based on your skin at your consultation.
-
Some patients notice their skin looks more hydrated within a week. The fullest results are usually seen around four weeks after the second session, as the skin continues to respond. Update Aesthetics recommends judging results after the full course.
-
Most patients feel a short sting with each injection. Profhilo uses only 10 injection points on the face, so the treatment itself is quick. The Update Aesthetics team will talk you through each step so you know what to expect.
-
Yes, Profhilo can be used on the neck and decolletage as well as the face. It can help improve crepey texture and hydration in these areas. Update Aesthetics offers Profhilo for the face, neck and decolletage in Truro and on Harley Street.
