Glasgow has a strong, doctor led aesthetics scene, with respected clinics across the city centre, the West End and the suburbs offering Profhilo. It is an injectable hyaluronic acid treatment that improves hydration, firmness and glow rather than adding volume. Here is how to choose well, what to expect and what it tends to cost locally.
Profhilo is a medical aesthetic treatment. This is general information, not medical advice. A qualified practitioner should assess your skin and history before any procedure. Results vary and are never guaranteed. Confirm current prices and details directly with the provider.
Profhilo is widely offered across central Glasgow and the West End, with the strongest options being clinician led. The classic protocol places the product at set points on the face, and a newer version, Profhilo Structura, aims to add a little support to the mid face. Ask which version suits you and why.
Clinics with a local reputation for Profhilo include McKeown Medical, a long established doctor led practice, TM Aesthetics, Glasgow Skincare Clinic and Clinica Medica. Details and current prices should be confirmed directly with each provider, as offers and practitioners change.
A good clinician reviews your skin and goals, explains that Profhilo improves quality rather than volume, and takes a medical history and consent before anything begins.
Product is placed at a small number of points with a fine needle. It is quick, and you may notice raised bumps at the injection sites that settle within a day or two.
Results build gradually over several weeks as hydration and firmness improve. The standard protocol is two sessions about four weeks apart, with maintenance later in the year.
Expect small raised bumps at the injection points for 24 to 48 hours, along with possible redness, tenderness and occasional bruising. Less common risks include infection, lumps and an allergic style reaction. As with any injectable, a vascular event is a rare but serious risk, which is why a trained medical injector who can recognise and manage complications matters. Profhilo is hyaluronic acid based and can be dissolved if there is a problem.
Good to know: Profhilo is not a filler and will not lift or reshape your face. If your skin is crepey or lacks glow it can be excellent, but a reputable Glasgow clinic will tell you honestly when a filler, a different treatment, or none at all, would serve you better.
