The first of its kind, Profhilo® is a revolutionary beneath the skin, hyaluronic acid moisturising treatment. When injected into skin it stimulates the skin cell receptors to counteract skin laxity and improve and restore firmness of the skin. It stimulates collagen and elastin production, resulting in natural-looking, plump and youthful skin. Its unique formulation of high and low molecular weight hyaluronic acid is one of the highest concentrations on the market. Profhilo is also the first hyaluronic acid product that does not contain chemical cross-linking agents like BDDE, making it a safe alternative with fewer unwanted side effects.

The injections are strategically placed at key points to rejuvenate the skin’s own collagen-making abilities. Profhilo can be used almost anywhere in the body. Common areas include the face, neck or hands and it can be used on its own or in combination with other aesthetics treatments. The treatment offers skin benefits for both men and women of all ages.

It is a great ‘first step’ treatment as it acts directly on skin laxity and can also improve the appearance of uneven skin tone, pores and dull pigmented skin, as part of a bespoke skin programme.

Your clinician will go through your consent form and medical history before treatment.  Some clinical photographs will be taken of the treatment area before and after treatment. Your skin will be thoroughly cleansed prior to and during treatment. A numbing cream may be applied to the area to be treated before the Skin Booster is injected using a fine needle or cannula. You will be lying down with your head slightly raised during treatment.

Skin booster treatments are suitable for individuals wanting to improve their skin's hydration, texture and overall appearance. They are beneficial for individuals with dry or dehydrated skin, fine lines and wrinkles, dull complexion, or those looking to enhance their natural radiance. 

However, skin boosters may not be recommended for individuals with certain medical conditions, allergies to hyaluronic acid, or a history of adverse reactions to injectable treatments. Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals are generally advised to postpone skin booster treatments. 

During your consultation, our experienced practitioner will evaluate your skin condition, medical history and specific concerns to determine if skin boosters are the right choice for you. We prioritise your safety and will provide personalised recommendations tailored to your unique needs and skin conditions.

Anyone under 18 years of age is not suitable for Skin Boosters. People with active infections (like acne or cold sores), pregnant or breastfeeding women, those with certain medical conditions and individuals with certain allergies may not be suitable candidates.  Always consult a healthcare professional to see if Skin Boosters are right for you.

You may feel some mild discomfort during treatment but most patients find the treatment easily tolerable. Compared to other rejuvenation methods– such as laser– it has minimal downtime and lower levels of discomfort. However, if there is a concern about discomfort during the procedure, a topical anaesthetic can be used to increase your comfort. Every patient’s needs are different, so make sure to discuss this with your clinician.

Common areas for skin boosters include the face, neck, décolletage and hands but really, they can be used anywhere on the body that requires some extra hydration.

Currently at the clinic we work with the following brands:

You will quickly notice an improvement in the tone, texture and feel of your skin, as well as a reduction in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and an increase in elasticity.  Your skin will glow and this effect will be seen progressively over the treatment period and will improve for a month following the final treatment session.

While skin boosters are generally safe, it is important to be aware of potential risks. Here are the main risks and how we can minimise these at our clinic:

• Temporary Redness and Swelling: Mild redness and swelling at the injection site are common. As the skin gradually absorbs the gel, the swelling decreases within 24–48 hours.

• Bruising: Some individuals may experience mild bruising, which is also temporary and resolves on its own.

• Discomfort: It is possible to experience mild discomfort or sensitivity at the injection sites but this is generally well-tolerated and short-lived. We also offer options for numbing creams to ensure a comfortable experience.

• Infection: While the risk of infection is minimal, we maintain a sterile environment and adhere to strict hygiene protocols to minimise this risk.

• Allergic Reactions: Although rare, there is a potential for allergic reactions to the substances used in skin boosters. Our experienced practitioner performs a thorough assessment and uses high-quality products to minimise this risk.

• Unsatisfactory Results: While skin boosters generally yield positive outcomes, individual results may vary. Our skilled practitioner provides personalised treatment plans and realistic expectations to ensure your satisfaction.

At Dr Bryant Aesthetics, we prioritise your safety and well-being. We follow best practice, maintain up-to-date knowledge and employ meticulous techniques to minimise potential risks associated with skin boosters. Your safety is our utmost concern and we take every precaution necessary to provide you with a safe and satisfying skin booster treatment experience.
