Liverpool, Crosby Profhilo® Treatment at Dr Nyla Medispa

Profhilo is an advanced injectable skin remodelling treatment designed to improve skin quality, hydration, and firmness. Unlike traditional dermal fillers, Profhilo does not add volume or alter facial contours. Instead, it uses a high concentration of hyaluronic acid to stimulate the skin’s natural regenerative processes, helping to improve elasticity, texture, and overall skin health. For a more detailed explanation of the formulation and how it differs from filler, see our guide to what Profhilo is, how it works, and what it can improve.

Using patented NAHYCO technology, Profhilo is thermally stabilised without the use of chemical cross-linking agents such as BDDE. Once injected into the superficial layers of the skin, it spreads evenly throughout the treatment area to support collagen and elastin production, making it particularly effective for concerns such as skin laxity, fine lines, crepiness, dehydration, and age-related tissue changes.

Treatment is typically performed over two sessions spaced four weeks apart, with maintenance treatments recommended to support long-term results. Improvements continue to develop over several weeks, with many patients noticing smoother, firmer, and more radiant skin within approximately eight weeks.

Profhilo is commonly used on the face, neck, décolletage, and hands, where it helps improve skin quality in areas that may not be suitable for traditional dermal filler treatments.

Profhilo is neither a traditional dermal filler nor a conventional biorevitalisation treatment. It belongs to a distinct category known as skin bioremodelling, designed to improve skin quality, hydration, elasticity, and firmness through the stimulation of the skin’s natural regenerative processes.

Unlike dermal fillers, Profhilo is not used to create volume, enhance facial contours, or replace lost structure. Rather than remaining in a specific area, the product spreads throughout the tissue to support collagen and elastin production, helping to improve overall skin integrity and reduce visible signs of ageing.

This unique mechanism of action makes Profhilo particularly effective for treating skin laxity, dehydration, and crepey skin on the face, neck, décolletage, hands, and other areas where improved skin quality is the primary goal.

Profhilo may be suitable for a wide range of adults experiencing early or more established signs of skin ageing. The treatment is commonly chosen by both men and women looking to improve skin hydration, firmness, elasticity, and overall skin quality without adding volume or altering their natural appearance.

Many patients begin Profhilo treatment in their 30s as a preventative approach to maintaining healthy skin, while others choose it in their 40s, 50s, and beyond to address concerns such as fine lines, skin laxity, crepiness, and dehydration. Suitability will depend on your individual skin concerns, medical history, and treatment goals.

During your consultation at Dr Nyla Medispa, an experienced medical practitioner will assess your skin and determine whether Profhilo is the most appropriate treatment option for achieving your desired outcome.

Profhilo is a versatile skin remodelling treatment that can be used on several areas of the face and body where skin quality, hydration, and firmness have become compromised over time.

The most commonly treated areas include the face, neck, décolletage, and hands, where signs of ageing such as fine lines, crepiness, and skin laxity often become more noticeable. Profhilo can also be used on areas such as the arms to help improve skin texture and elasticity.

During your consultation, your practitioner will assess the areas of concern and recommend the most appropriate treatment approach based on your skin quality, aesthetic goals, and overall treatment plan.

Profhilo is widely regarded as a safe and well-established injectable treatment when performed by appropriately qualified medical professionals. It is CE marked and has been used extensively in aesthetic medicine worldwide to improve skin quality, hydration, and firmness. As with any injectable procedure, a thorough medical consultation is required to assess suitability and discuss potential risks and benefits.

Unlike traditional dermal fillers, Profhilo is designed to stimulate tissue remodelling and support the skin’s natural production of collagen and elastin rather than creating volume in specific areas. This approach helps achieve subtle, natural-looking results while improving skin texture, elasticity, and overall skin health.

At Dr Nyla Medispa, all Profhilo treatments are carried out within a medically regulated environment following a comprehensive assessment, ensuring treatment is appropriate, safe, and tailored to your individual needs.

As with any injectable treatment, Profhilo can be associated with some temporary side effects. The most commonly reported reactions include mild swelling, redness, tenderness, or bruising at the injection sites. These effects are typically short-lived and usually resolve within a few days.

Less commonly, complications such as infection, allergic reaction, or injury to surrounding structures can occur. Although these risks are considered rare, they will be discussed in detail during your consultation as part of the informed consent process.

At Dr Nyla Medispa, patient safety is central to every treatment. A comprehensive medical assessment is carried out before treatment, and all procedures are performed by experienced medical practitioners within a regulated clinical environment to minimise risk and ensure the highest standards of care.

Profhilo is administered using a series of small injections and is generally well tolerated by most patients. While some individuals may experience mild discomfort during treatment, the procedure is quick and involves a limited number of carefully placed injection points.

To maximise comfort, a topical anaesthetic cream can be applied before treatment to help minimise sensitivity. Most patients describe the sensation as brief and manageable, with any discomfort resolving shortly after the procedure.

During your consultation at Dr Nyla Medispa, your practitioner will explain the treatment process in detail and discuss any concerns you may have, ensuring you feel informed and comfortable throughout your experience.

Profhilo works by stimulating the skin’s natural regenerative processes, meaning results develop gradually rather than immediately. Many patients begin to notice improvements in skin hydration, texture, and overall radiance within the first few weeks following treatment.

Around four weeks after the initial treatment, improvements in skin smoothness, fine lines, and firmness often become more noticeable. Following the second treatment, which is typically performed four weeks later, results continue to develop as collagen and elastin production is stimulated within the skin.

By approximately eight weeks, many patients report visible improvements in skin quality, with a firmer, tighter, and more refreshed appearance. Our guide to Profhilo results explains the expected timeline in more detail, including how long results may last and why they vary between patients. Individual results can vary depending on factors such as age, skin condition, and the treatment protocol recommended by your practitioner.

Profhilo is typically performed as an initial course of two treatments, spaced four weeks apart. This protocol is designed to optimise skin hydration, improve elasticity, and stimulate collagen and elastin production for long-term skin quality improvement.

Following the initial course, a maintenance treatment may be recommended depending on your age, skin condition, lifestyle factors, and the degree of skin ageing being addressed. Many patients choose to have maintenance treatments approximately every six months to help sustain their results and support ongoing skin health.

During your consultation at Dr Nyla Medispa, your practitioner will assess your individual concerns and create a personalised treatment plan, including recommendations for treatment frequency and long-term maintenance.

Profhilo requires minimal downtime, and most patients are able to return to their normal daily activities shortly after treatment. Mild redness, swelling, or small injection-site bumps may be visible initially, but these typically settle quickly.

To support optimal healing, it is recommended that you avoid touching the treated area for at least six hours following your procedure, including the application of make-up or skincare products. Patients are also advised to avoid strenuous exercise, excessive heat exposure, and activities that may increase blood flow to the face for approximately 24 hours after treatment.

Your practitioner will provide detailed aftercare guidance tailored to your treatment, ensuring you achieve the best possible outcome while minimising the risk of irritation or complications.
