overview
How does Profhilo work?
Profhilo is an advanced injectable treatment made from ultra-pure hyaluronic acid, designed to deeply hydrate and improve skin quality. Unlike traditional dermal fillers, Profhilo spreads beneath the skin, triggering natural collagen and elastin production. This helps to:
✔ Improve skin laxity and firmness
✔ Increase hydration for a dewy, glowing complexion
✔ Reduce the appearance of fine lines
✔ Enhance overall skin texture and elasticity
In our opinion, Profhilo is best used on the face & neck, where it restores a youthful, refreshed look.

Process
The treatment process
Profhilo is delivered through a series of precise injections into key areas of the face, neck, or hands. The treatment itself takes around 15 minutes and involves minimal discomfort. Profhilo spreads beneath the skin, gradually stimulating collagen and elastin production over the following weeks. A two-session protocol, spaced four weeks apart, is recommended for optimal results. At Riverbanks Clinic, our doctors use a careful, evidence-based approach to ensure a comfortable experience and natural, long-lasting improvements in skin quality.

When will I see results?
Profhilo works gradually, with noticeable improvements developing over 4 to 6 weeks after your first treatment. Most patients begin to see increased hydration and skin radiance within a few weeks, while firmer, smoother skin becomes more apparent after the second session, typically performed four weeks later. Results continue to improve over the following months as collagen and elastin production increases, giving your skin a naturally refreshed and youthful appearance.
Many of our patients are asked 'why do you look so good?' and the simple answer is ‘Profhilo’. In fact, word of mouth recommendation is the biggest reason this treatment has been such a global success.
Who will benefit from a Profhilo treatment?
Profhilo is ideal for anyone experiencing age-related skin concerns such as loss of firmness, fine lines, and dullness. It’s especially beneficial for patients looking to boost skin hydration and elasticity without adding volume. Profhilo suits those with mature or dehydrated skin, and it’s also effective for people starting to notice the early signs of ageing. The treatment is safe for both men and women and can be used on the face, neck, décolletage, and hands to restore a fresher, smoother appearance. If you want to improve your skin’s quality and radiance in a subtle, natural way, Profhilo may be the perfect solution for you.
