Injectable Skin Boosters & Hydration
Bio-Remodelling & Deep Hydration Treatment (Profhilo)
SnapshotExpected Results: Hydrated, plumper, smoother skin with improved glow and elasticityTreatment Time: 30 minutesTreatment Anaesthesia: non requiredDowntime: small bumps for 24 hoursLongevity: 6 monthsProfhilo is a highly popular injectable skin treatment designed to boost hydration and improve the appearance of skin quality.
It spreads beneath the skin to provide all-over radiance and a smoother, refreshed look.
Benefits may include:
Deep, long-lasting hydration
Softer, more supple skin
Improved overall skin quality
A luminous, healthy appearance
Profhilo is suitable for the face, neck, and other areas where skin looks dull or dehydrated.
While Profhilo is our primary choice for deep tissue remodelling and hydration, we also offer Teoxane Redensity 1 and SkinVive for patients requiring a more targeted 'nutrient boost.' During your consultation, Dr. Chi will assess your skin’s specific needs—such as fine lines or loss of luminosity—and may recommend Redensity 1 or SkinVive where clinically appropriate to achieve your best results.
Seeking Cellular Repair rather than just Hydration?
If your concerns go beyond dehydration—such as thinning skin around the eyes, scarring, or a loss of elasticity—you may be a better candidate for Polynucleotides. Unlike skin boosters, which hydrate the surface, Polynucleotides work at a cellular level to regenerate and repair the skin's foundation

Support and aftercare
-
Following your clinical assessment and treatment, you may notice small, temporary bumps at the injection sites. These are perfectly normal and typically settle within 6–24 hours as the hyaluronic acid integrate into the tissue. Please avoid touching the area, applying makeup, or strenuous exercise for the first 24 hours to prevent infection and ensure optimal settling.
-
To minimize the risk of bruising or swelling, we recommend avoiding alcohol and anti-inflammatory medications (like Ibuprofen) for 48 hours. Please also avoid extreme heat, such as saunas, steam rooms, or sunbeds. As a GP-led clinic, we prioritize your safety; staying hydrated with plenty of water will help maximize the hydrating effects of your skin booster
-
While some luminosity is visible immediately, the full bio-remodelling effect of Profhilo or alternative skin Booster develops over 4–8 weeks. We advise avoiding other facial treatments (like peels or microneedling) for 2 weeks. Dr. Chi remains available for any post-treatment queries to ensure you are supported throughout your journey.
-
Serious complications are extremely rare in a doctor-led setting, but immediate contact is required if you experience significant pain, skin mottling (a dusky or purple appearance), or extreme heat in the treated area. You will be provided with an aftercare sheet containing our emergency contact details.
