Profhilo Skin Booster in Leeds: What It Does, Who It’s For & Real Results
What is this skin booster treatment?
Profhilo is an injectable skin booster that uses a pure form of hyaluronic acid that is found in the skin naturally. Hyaluronic acid helps with hydration, resilience, and support.
Unlike traditional dermal fillers, this product does not aim to add volume or alter facial shape. Instead, we place small amounts into carefully selected injection points, allowing the product to spread evenly beneath the skin.
This process supports what’s known as bio-remodelling, encouraging the skin to retain moisture and function more effectively as it ages.
The goal isn’t instant change. It's a gradual improvement in skin texture, firmness and overall quality.
How does it work?
Once placed under the skin, the treatment supports skin health in two main ways:
Deep hydration
- The hyaluronic acid attracts and holds water, helping the skin feel more comfortable, supple and hydrated from within.
Structural support
- Over time, it encourages the skin to produce more collagen and elastin — the proteins responsible for firmness and elasticity.
Because it works with your own tissue rather than filling lines, improvements appear slowly and look natural.
It’s commonly used for:
- Early skin laxity
- Dull or dehydrated skin
- Fine lines visible at rest
- Crepey texture on the face and neck
How is it different from filler?
This is one of the most common points of confusion from patients.
- Fillers are designed to add volume, contour or lift specific areas
- This treatment does not add volume and does not change facial shape
If your concern is skin quality rather than structure or volume loss, this option is often more appropriate. In some cases, it may be part of a long-term skin plan with other treatments. However, this decision should always come after an assessment.

Who is it suitable for?
This treatment suits men and women who want visible skin improvement without looking “done”.
It’s commonly used on:
- Face and neck
- Décolletage
- Hands
You may be a good candidate if you’re noticing:
- Loss of firmness
- Dehydration
- Early sagging
- General signs of skin ageing
At Skinfinity Clinic, we always confirm suitability through a medical consultation. This ensures the treatment fits your skin, not just trends.
How many sessions are needed?
Most people require:
- Two to three sessions
- Four weeks apart
This spacing allows time for hydration and collagen stimulation to take place. Experts may recommend maintenance sessions every 12 to 18 months based on age, skin condition, and lifestyle factors.
When will results appear?
Some people notice improved hydration within the first couple of weeks. More visible changes in firmness and texture usually develop four to eight weeks after the second session.
Because the process is gradual, results look subtle and natural rather than immediate.
How long do results last?
Results typically last six to nine months, depending on:
- Skin quality
- Age
- Sun exposure, smoking and skincare habits
Regular maintenance can help sustain improvements over time.
Does it help with pores?
Profhilo does not target pores directly. However, it improves hydration and elasticity. Many patients notice smoother skin and smaller pores.
The added hydration combined with the collagen boost patients notice their skin becomes healthier overall.
For poor skin texture other skin treatments like microneedling or chemical peels can help with open pores or poor texture.
Is it safe?
Yes. The product is CE-marked, widely used in aesthetic medicine and made from highly purified hyaluronic acid.
Unlike dermal fillers, there is no risk of complications. For example, vascular occlusion can happen. This is when hyaluronic acid blocks blood supply to the tissues. When carried out by a qualified medical professional, it’s considered safe and well tolerated.
At Skinfinity Leeds, treatment is delivered as part of a doctor-led service, including full consultation, consent and aftercare.
Is it painful?
Most people describe the treatment as mildly uncomfortable rather than painful. Small bumps at injection points are normal and usually settle within 24–48 hours. Downtime is minimal, and most people return to normal activities the same day.
Why clinic choice matters
Injectable treatment results depend on assessment, planning, and experience, not just the product used.
At Skinfinity:
- All injectable treatments are doctor-led
- Consultations are thorough and honest
- Skin boosters are part of a wider skin strategy, not a quick fix
- The focus is natural results and long-term skin health
