Profhilo is a high-purity hyaluronic acid (HA) treatment that provides deep hydration and bio-remodelling of the skin. Unlike dermal fillers, it does not add discrete volume; instead, it disperses evenly to improve firmness, elasticity and luminosity. At Omniya Clinic, our medical team uses the BAP (Bio Aesthetic Points) technique to deliver precise, natural-looking results with minimal downtime.
Procedure time: ~15–30 minutes
Sessions: 2 sessions, 4–6 weeks apart (then maintenance)
Downtime: Minimal; small bumps settle within 24 hours
Results: Subtle after 1st session; optimal ~4 weeks after 2nd
Duration: Typically 3–6 months
Price: From £380
Profhilo is a stabilised, high-concentration HA formulation designed for skin bio-remodelling. Once injected, it spreads across the treatment field to:
Because it diffuses rather than remaining in a single location, Profhilo improves the overall quality of the treated area without altering facial contours.
Profhilo is a unique injectable treatment that delivers one of the highest concentrations of hyaluronic acid (HA) available. It works in three key ways:
The result is skin that looks fresher, firmer, and more radiant, without altering your natural features.
The Profhilo range now extends beyond the original face and neck treatment, and Omniya offers all three.
Profhilo Structura: From £450 per session. Structura works at a deeper level than classic Profhilo, targeting the superficial fat layer that loses structure as we age. It is designed for facial laxity along the jawline and lower face, where skin quality treatment alone is not enough but dermal filler volume is not wanted. Two sessions, four weeks apart.
Profhilo Body: From £450 per session. The same bio-remodelling technology in a larger-format syringe, designed for crepey or lax skin on the upper arms, abdomen, décolletage and knees. Two sessions, four weeks apart, with results developing over eight weeks.
Your practitioner will advise which format suits your skin during your appointment. Many patients combine classic Profhilo for the face with Structura or Body treatment in the same course.
Profhilo is ideal for patients who want to refresh and strengthen their skin without adding volume. It can help with:
Every patient is assessed individually, and Profhilo can be used either as a stand-alone treatment or combined with other options such as Botox, dermal fillers, or polynucleotides for a more comprehensive result.
Note: Profhilo is not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
Profhilo is priced per session, with a standard course of two sessions four weeks apart. Course pricing is available for patients continuing with maintenance treatment.
Profhilo: face or neck from £380 per session
Profhilo: Standard two-session course from £760
Profhilo Structura: from £450 per session
Profhilo Body: from £450 per session
Courses: Please discuss with your clinician
If Profhilo is not the right treatment for your skin or concerns, your clinician may recommend an alternative that is, for example, other skin boosters, polynucleotides, exosomes or dermal fillers.
Profhilo has one of the strongest safety profiles of any injectable treatment. It is pure hyaluronic acid with no chemical cross-linking agents (BDDE-free), which is why reactions are rare and there is minimal risk of the migration or lumpiness sometimes associated with dermal fillers.
What is normal: small raised bumps at the injection points, which settle within 24 hours, and occasionally minor bruising or tenderness for a day or two.
What is rare: allergic reaction or infection at the injection site. Searches for “Profhilo gone wrong” almost always trace back to poor injector technique or counterfeit product – not the product itself. At Omniya, Profhilo is administered only by GMC- and GDC-registered doctors and our lead aesthetic nurse, using genuine IBSA product, in a CQC-registered clinic. If anything about your result concerns you after treatment, you will be reviewed by your doctor.
varies per patient
Profhilo is a revolutionary skin treatment that enables your natural collagen and also your elastin; causing your skin to renew successfully, from within.
Profhilo is different to other injectable products; is not a dermal filler, and it has been specifically engineered for skin bio-remodelling. It is biocompatible as a result of the pure grade hyaluronic acid produced by bio-fermentation.
In large part due to the high purity (in addition to the absence of additives), Profhilo is considered to be a safer treatment than its counterparts, with reduced side effects.
There is minimal downtime for Profhilo, so you ought to be able to resolve your normal activities right away. Whilst the treatment is taking place, you will likely notice each insertion, but they will quickly diffuse and disappear.
After Profhilo, we recommend that you refrain from physical and sports activities for around 24 hours. We would also recommend you avoid going to a sauna or having a steam bath for a period of days and avoid having further cosmetic treatments for 48 hours unless guided by your treating practitioner.
We typically recommend 2 Profhilo sessions, 1 month apart, which help to achieve optimum results. In some cases, where there is problematic skin, you may require a 3rd treatment, 2 months after your second treatment. Your practitioner will discuss this with you at your consultation.
To maintain your results, we recommend 1 treatment every 6 months.
There are some tips that ought to help you get the optimum results from your Profhilo treatment:
With Profhilo you can expect to see increased firmness, elasticity and overall improved quality of your skin, with results lasting for 6 months or longer.
Profhilo diffuses over a period of 4 weeks after each injection, whilst stimulating four different types of collagen and elastin. You can expect to see improvements in your skin after 4 weeks, with optimum results after 8 weeks.
Following your Profhilo treatment, there is a chance that some localised lumps may appear, around the injection site. We find that these lumps will subside, typically 4-6 hours after the treatment, but do not be alarmed if they last up to 24 hours. Many patients do not experience lumps and swelling, and it does depend on each individual.
Please call us if you do have any concerns following your Profhilo treatment.
No. While both Profhilo and dermal fillers contain hyaluronic acid (HA), they are formulated very differently. Fillers are designed to restore or add volume in specific areas, whereas Profhilo spreads evenly through the skin to deeply hydrate and stimulate collagen and elastin production, improving overall skin quality rather than altering facial structure.
Profhilo is not injected directly into the under-eye area or forehead. That said, its ability to diffuse through surrounding tissue often leads to indirect improvements in these regions. For more targeted treatment of delicate areas such as the under-eye, your practitioner may recommend alternatives such as polynucleotides.
Results from Profhilo typically last around six months, though this can vary depending on factors such as age, skin quality, and lifestyle. Many patients choose to maintain their results with regular top-up treatments twice a year. With consistent maintenance, Profhilo can deliver long-term improvements in skin hydration, elasticity, and overall quality.
Profhilo typically costs £350–£450 per session in the UK, with London clinics at the upper end. At Omniya Clinic in Knightsbridge, Profhilo is from £380 per session, Profhilo Structura and Profhilo Body are from £450. Most patients need two sessions, four weeks apart.
For the right patient, yes. Profhilo treats skin quality – hydration, firmness and elasticity – rather than individual lines, so it suits people whose skin looks tired or dull overall. If your concern is volume loss or a specific deep line, dermal filler may be more suitable for you.
It depends on the concern. Generally speaking, for under-eye skin and repair, polynucleotides may be a better treatment. For volume loss, dermal fillers are often recommended over Profhilo. For overall hydration and firmness of the face and neck, Profhilo remains the product benchmark. Your doctor will recommend the best treatment for your concern.
