The treatment
Profhilo Skin Booster: how it works
Profhilo uses high-concentration hyaluronic acid placed in specific bio-remodelling points on the face, neck or hands. Rather than sculpting or adding bulk, the aim is to spread hydration, improve elasticity and rebuild overall skin quality over time. It works especially well for skin that feels crepey, dull or less resilient rather than primarily volume-depleted.

Before you book
Is this treatment right for you?
Suitable for
- Adults who want better skin quality, hydration and elasticity, particularly if the skin looks crepey, dull or less firm rather than volume depleted.
Not suitable for
- Suitability must be checked in consultation. Treatment may not be appropriate during pregnancy or breastfeeding, with active skin infection or where injectable contraindications apply.
In their own words
My skin started to feel thin and papery in my late forties. After two rounds of Profhilo it feels completely different. More hydrated, more resilient, just better.

Aftercare
Keep skincare gentle, avoid heavy exercise and excess heat for the period advised by your clinician and follow all injectable aftercare guidance. Small injection bumps usually settle quickly.
From the clinic shop
What we would send you home with
Profhilo is hyaluronic acid placed to spread through the skin. These four keep the surface consistent with that, and give you something to wear over it while small injection bumps settle.

Not a filler, and why that matters
Profhilo is not a filler, and the confusion costs people money. It spreads rather than sits, so it will not lift a cheek or define a jaw. What it can do is make skin that has gone crepey and dull feel like skin again, on the face, neck or hands. Two sessions four weeks apart, then we look at where your skin is before agreeing anything further.
Lydia Griffin, Clinic Director
Planning your two appointments
The clinic is at 65 London Road, Newark-on-Trent, NG24 1RZ, with free parking at the front.
A typical plan is two sessions about four weeks apart, so the demanding part is that first month. What follows is agreed with your clinician and depends on your skin rather than on a fixed schedule.
Sessions are short. Patients travel in from Balderton, Farndon, Collingham, Southwell, Bingham and Ollerton in Nottinghamshire, and from Lincoln, Grantham and Sleaford in Lincolnshire, and most are back on the road well within the hour.
Small bumps at the injection points, some redness, occasionally mild tenderness. All expected, all temporary, and all reasons to plan the drive home rather than a meeting straight afterwards. Book the second appointment before you leave the first: four weeks is the interval the plan is built on, and it holds better when it is already in the diary.
