What Is Profhilo?
The next generation in skin rejuvenation
Profhilo is one of the most innovative skin treatments available today. Unlike traditional dermal fillers, Profhilo is not designed to add volume or structure. Instead, it is a bio-remodelling injectable made from one of the highest concentrations of pure hyaluronic acid (HA) available, which spreads beneath the skin to deeply hydrate and stimulate the production of collagen and elastin.
The result is visibly improved skin quality — firmer, more hydrated, and naturally glowing skin. Profhilo is particularly effective for addressing skin laxity and dullness on the face, neck, décolletage, and hands.
At Aesthetics by Dr Katherine, Profhilo is administered using the BAP (Bio Aesthetic Points) technique — a precise 5-point injection method on each side of the face that ensures even distribution of the product for optimal results.
Did You Know?
Profhilo has won multiple aesthetic industry awards and is widely regarded as one of the most effective skin quality treatments currently available. It contains no chemical cross-linking agents (BDDE-free), making it one of the purest hyaluronic acid treatments on the market.

Book NowWhat to Expect During Treatment
1. Consultation & Assessment
Dr Katherine will assess your skin quality, discuss your concerns and goals, and determine whether Profhilo is the most suitable treatment for you. A personalised treatment plan will be created.
2. Preparation
The treatment area is cleansed and the Bio Aesthetic Points (BAP) are carefully marked to ensure precise and even product distribution.
3. Injection
Profhilo is injected at 5 specific points on each side of the face using the BAP technique. The product then naturally spreads beneath the skin to provide even hydration and stimulation. The injection process is quick and well tolerated.
4. Aftercare
Dr Katherine will provide aftercare guidance. Small bumps may be visible at injection sites but typically settle within a few hours. You can return to normal activities straight away.
5. Second Session
A second treatment session is carried out 4 weeks after the first to complete the course. This two-session protocol is essential for achieving optimal bio-remodelling results.
Recommended Treatment Schedule
Profhilo is administered as a course of two sessions, spaced 4 weeks apart. This two-session protocol allows the hyaluronic acid to build on the initial treatment, maximising collagen and elastin stimulation for the best results.
After completing the initial course, results typically last around 6 months. Maintenance treatments are recommended every 6 months to sustain the improvements in skin quality, hydration, and firmness.
Dr Katherine will advise on the ideal schedule based on your skin's response and your individual goals.

What Our Clients Say
Frequently Asked Questions
Profhilo and dermal fillers both use hyaluronic acid but work very differently. Dermal fillers add volume and structure to specific areas such as lips, cheeks, or jawline. Profhilo is a skin booster that spreads beneath the skin to deeply hydrate and stimulate your own collagen and elastin production, improving overall skin quality without adding volume.
Most patients find the treatment very comfortable. A brief, mild pinching sensation is felt at each injection point, but the procedure is quick and well tolerated. Numbing cream can be applied if preferred.
The standard Profhilo protocol involves two treatment sessions spaced 4 weeks apart. This two-session course is necessary to achieve optimal bio-remodelling results. Maintenance sessions are then recommended every 6 months.
Some patients notice an improvement in skin hydration and radiance within the first few weeks. However, the full bio-remodelling effects — including improved firmness and skin quality — are typically visible around 4 to 8 weeks after the second session, as collagen and elastin production increases over time.
Downtime is minimal. Small bumps may appear at injection sites but usually settle within a few hours. Mild redness or bruising can occasionally occur but resolves quickly. Most patients return to normal activities straight away.
Yes. Profhilo works well alongside other treatments such as anti-wrinkle injections and dermal fillers. Dr Katherine can advise on the best combination and timing to complement your overall aesthetic goals.
Profhilo is suitable for a wide range of ages. Younger patients may use it as a preventative measure to maintain skin quality, while those with more mature skin benefit from its hydrating and firming effects. Dr Katherine will assess whether Profhilo is the right choice for your skin during consultation.
