PROFHILO® TREATMENT
in Harrogate & York
SKIN REJUVENATION WITH HYALURONIC ACID
BIO-REMODELLING
Profhilo® is a next-generation injectable skin booster designed to improve hydration, restore firmness, and stimulate collagen and elastin production - all without adding volume or altering your natural facial structure. Often referred to as a bio-remodelling treatment, it works deep within the skin’s surface layers to improve texture, elasticity, and overall skin quality from the inside out.
At Muse Medical Clinic, we offer Profhilo® in both Harrogate and York as a subtle yet highly effective treatment for skin laxity, fine lines, and signs of dehydration, especially in delicate areas like the face, neck, and décolletage.

EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT
PROFHILO®
-
Unlike traditional dermal fillers, Profhilo® does not shape or volumise the skin. Instead, it diffuses beneath the surface to hydrate the skin and stimulate collagen and elastin at a cellular level. Made from ultra-pure hyaluronic acid (HA) in one of the highest concentrations available, Profhilo® is a powerful trigger for skin renewal. As the product spreads, it improves skin tone, firmness, and radiance with minimal disruption and no risk of overfilling.
This injectable treatment is ideal for addressing early skin laxity, dehydration, and dullness - particularly in areas where the skin is thin and prone to sagging. It is often selected by patients looking for natural results without the commitment of more structural aesthetics treatments.
-
Profhilo® can be used across a number of treatment areas where skin quality has begun to decline. It is most commonly used for:
The face (cheeks, mid-face, and jawline)
Neck and décolletage
Upper arms, hands, and stomach
Skin tightening around the knees and elbows
This treatment is particularly effective in restoring firmness to sagging skin and improving the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles caused by reduced elastin and collagen production. It's also an ideal option for those searching for gentle neck tightening or post-weight-loss skin support.
-
If your concerns include crepey skin, early sagging, dull texture, or a loss of plumpness, Profhilo® may be a good fit. It is often recommended for those noticing early signs of ageing or struggling with skin laxity in high-movement areas like the neck, lower face, and chest.
During your initial consultation, Dr Amy Watson will assess your concerns, discuss your medical history, and determine whether Profhilo® or another skin tightening treatment would be more appropriate. We take care to tailor every plan based on your facial anatomy and goals.
-
Following a thorough consultation, Profhilo® is injected into five strategic points on each side of the face using a fine needle - known as the BAP (Bio Aesthetic Points) technique. These injection sites are selected to maximise spread while minimising discomfort or downtime. In the neck and body, specific Profhilo injection points are chosen based on skin thickness and target concerns.
The full appointment takes approximately 30 minutes, including skin preparation and post-treatment guidance. Profhilo® injections are generally well-tolerated, with only mild stinging at the time of treatment.
-
Initial results begin to emerge within 7–10 days, with full Profhilo® results visible around 4 weeks after your second session. Most patients will require two treatments, spaced four weeks apart, to achieve optimum outcomes.
Improvements in skin hydration, tone, and elasticity typically last 4–6 months. Maintenance sessions can be scheduled twice a year to preserve your results, especially in areas more vulnerable to ageing such as the neck or hands.
-
Profhilo® is considered a low-downtime treatment. You may experience mild redness, swelling, or small lumps at the injection sites, particularly within the first 24–48 hours. Bruising or tenderness is uncommon but possible.
To support your healing process and help you get the most from your skin booster treatment, we advise the following:
Avoid touching the area or applying skincare products for 12 hours post-treatment
Refrain from makeup, alcohol, vigorous exercise, and steam rooms for 48 hours
Avoid exfoliating acids or retinoids for 72 hours
Stay well-hydrated to enhance hyaluronic acid benefits and support collagen activity
Side effects are generally minimal. As with any injectable, the main risks involve bruising or minor inflammation at the injection site. Our medical protocols at Muse Medical Clinic are designed to reduce risk and ensure a safe, clinically led experience from start to finish.
-
While both are hyaluronic acid-based injectable treatments, Profhilo® is not a filler. It does not restore volume or sculpt the face, but instead acts as a skin bio-remodeller. The key difference lies in the consistency and concentration of HA - Profhilo® contains no cross-linked HA, which means it spreads evenly across the tissue for natural hydration and skin tightening. It’s an ideal option for those who want fresher, firmer skin without looking “treated.”
-
Profhilo® is priced from £300 per area per session, with packages available for combination treatment areas such as face and neck. During your consultation, we will confirm how many sessions are required based on your skin and goals.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
-
No - it’s a hyaluronic acid skin booster, not a volumising filler. It stimulates collagen and elastin without altering facial contours.
-
Results usually last 4–6 months. A two-treatment protocol is recommended initially, followed by maintenance sessions every 6–9 months.
-
HA binds moisture in the skin, improves elasticity, and supports the formation of new collagen. Profhilo® uses one of the highest concentrations of HA to deeply hydrate and remodel the skin.
-
Common treatment areas include the face, neck, décolletage, hands, and arms - anywhere experiencing laxity, dullness, or fine lines.
-
While HA skincare can hydrate the surface, injectable hyaluronic acid penetrates deeper to stimulate collagen production and deliver structural results that topical products can’t achieve.
