At The Heath Clinic, we believe skin rejuvenation is not always about adding volume or changing facial contours. Profhilo® is an injectable hyaluronic acid treatment designed to improve hydration, firmness and overall skin quality while maintaining a natural-looking appearance.
Whether your skin is becoming drier, less elastic or beginning to show fine lines and early laxity, Profhilo works within the skin to support hydration and bio-remodelling rather than creating the volume associated with traditional dermal fillers.
Profhilo is an injectable treatment containing a high concentration of stabilised hyaluronic acid. It is designed to improve skin hydration and support the remodelling of ageing or lax skin.
Unlike traditional dermal fillers, Profhilo is not primarily used to add volume, reshape facial features or enhance individual contours. Once injected, the product disperses within the tissue, helping to improve hydration while supporting the skin’s firmness and elasticity.
Profhilo is often described as a bio-remodelling treatment because its role goes beyond simply providing hydration. It is designed to stimulate activity within the skin associated with collagen and elastin, helping to improve the appearance of skin that has become thinner, less firm or less resilient over time.
At The Heath Clinic, we use Profhilo as part of a wider approach to maintaining healthy skin. Your skin is assessed before treatment so that we can determine whether Profhilo is appropriate for your concerns and how it should fit into your wider treatment plan.
Profhilo can be used to improve a number of common skin concerns, including:
Treatment is commonly used where the priority is improving the quality, hydration and firmness of the skin rather than adding facial volume.
Every Profhilo treatment at The Heath Clinic begins with an assessment of your skin. This allows us to consider the quality of the skin, the areas you would like to improve and whether Profhilo is the most appropriate treatment for your concerns.
This is particularly important because not every sign of facial ageing is caused by the skin itself. Fine lines, reduced elasticity and crepiness may respond well to a skin-focused treatment, while more established volume loss or changes in facial structure may require a different approach.
Rather than using Profhilo to change the shape of the face, treatment focuses on improving the condition of the skin. This can make it particularly useful when patients feel their skin has become drier, thinner or less firm but do not want additional facial volume.
Your wider skincare routine is also considered as part of your treatment plan. Where appropriate, we can recommend medical-grade skincare to complement your injectable treatments and support healthy skin between appointments.
Profhilo is designed to support progressive improvements in hydration, firmness and overall skin quality rather than create an immediate structural change.
Hyaluronic acid naturally occurs within the skin and has an important role in maintaining hydration. Levels and distribution within the skin change with age, alongside reductions in collagen and elastin that contribute to fine lines, reduced elasticity and laxity.
Profhilo delivers stabilised hyaluronic acid into the tissue while supporting the biological processes involved in skin remodelling.
Depending on your skin, Profhilo may also form part of a wider treatment plan alongside other treatments available at The Heath Clinic. The appropriate approach depends on whether your main concern is skin quality, pigmentation, texture, laxity, volume loss or a combination of changes.
Every Profhilo treatment begins with a personalised assessment at our Hampstead clinic. Your skin will be evaluated and your concerns discussed before treatment to make sure Profhilo is appropriate for you.
Profhilo is administered using a series of small injections at specific points within the treatment area. The product then spreads through the surrounding tissue rather than remaining concentrated in one area to create volume.
Small raised bumps may be visible at the injection points immediately after treatment. These generally settle as the product disperses. Temporary redness, swelling, tenderness or bruising can also occur following injectable treatment.
Your practitioner will explain what to expect and provide appropriate aftercare advice.
Profhilo is typically performed as an initial course of treatments rather than relying on one session alone. Your practitioner will recommend an appropriate treatment schedule and ongoing maintenance based on your skin and individual response.
At The Heath Clinic, we take a holistic, full-face approach to skin health.
Whether your skin is feeling drier, becoming less firm or beginning to show changes in elasticity and texture, Profhilo provides an injectable approach focused on improving skin quality without adding traditional dermal filler volume.

Profhilo is an injectable treatment containing stabilised hyaluronic acid. It is designed to improve hydration and support the bio-remodelling of the skin, helping to improve firmness, elasticity and overall skin quality.
No. Although both treatments can contain hyaluronic acid, they are used differently. Dermal fillers are typically designed to provide volume, definition or structural support, whereas Profhilo spreads within the tissue and focuses on improving skin hydration and quality.
Profhilo is commonly associated with treatment of areas showing reduced firmness, elasticity and skin quality. Your practitioner will assess the area you are concerned about and confirm whether Profhilo is appropriate.
Profhilo is usually performed as an initial course rather than a single treatment. The number and timing of appointments, as well as any maintenance treatment, will be recommended according to your skin and individual response.
Improvements develop progressively rather than appearing as an immediate volumising effect. Patients may notice changes in hydration first, with improvements in firmness, elasticity and overall skin quality developing as the skin responds following treatment.
Yes, where clinically appropriate. Profhilo can form part of a wider skin rejuvenation plan alongside medical-grade skincare and other treatments available at The Heath Clinic. Your practitioner will advise on suitable combinations and treatment timing based on your skin.
