Profhilo in London
Profhilo has become one of London's most asked for injectables, loved for the way it improves hydration, firmness and that lit from within quality without changing the shape of the face. It is not a filler and it is not tox. Here is an honest look at what to expect in London, what it costs, the real risks and downtime, and the clinics worth a consultation.
A skin booster, not a filler
Profhilo is a stabilised hyaluronic acid injected into a few precise points, where it spreads to hydrate the skin and stimulate collagen and elastin over time. Rather than adding volume or freezing movement, it improves the quality of the skin itself, so the face looks fresher and firmer while still entirely your own. It suits people who feel their skin has lost a little bounce or glow, often from the early thirties onward, and it is popular for the face, neck and hands.
Two sessions, then maintain
The standard protocol is two sessions about four weeks apart, with results building over the following weeks. Many people then maintain with a top up every six months or so.
Roughly £250 to £500 a session
In London a single session tends to sit around £250 to £500, with central and premium clinics at the higher end. A two session course often falls near £450 to £900. Indicative only, confirm at consultation.
Minimal, but plan around it
Small raised bumps at the injection points usually settle within hours to a day, and some bruising is possible. Most people return to normal quickly, though it is wise not to book it the day before an event.

Real risks and who it is not for
As an injectable, Profhilo carries the usual risks of any needle in the skin. Expect possible bruising, swelling, tenderness and small lumps at the injection points that normally settle within a day or two. Less commonly there can be infection, a longer lasting nodule or an allergic reaction, and as with any injectable there is a rare but serious risk of vascular complication, which is why an experienced, medically trained practitioner matters so much. Profhilo is generally not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding, with active skin infection in the area, or for anyone with a known hyaluronic acid allergy.
It is also worth being clear about what Profhilo does not do. It will not lift sagging skin, fill deep folds or replace lost volume, and it is not a substitute for filler or a surgical result. If your real concern is volume or structure, a good practitioner will tell you honestly that Profhilo is not the answer, and may suggest a different treatment or none at all. Results vary from person to person and are never guaranteed.
