Profhilo® and Skin Boosters in Islington: Hydration From Within

Doctor-Led Skin Booster Treatments for Radiant, Healthy Skin in Islington

Healthy, radiant skin starts with hydration. While creams and serums can help on the surface, many patients find that their skin still feels dull, dry, or tired. This is where injectable skin boosters come in — offering hydration and skin quality improvements from within. Sometimes described as 'injectable moisturisers,' skin boosters use hyaluronic acid (HA) to restore glow, elasticity, and resilience.

At Refind Aesthetics in Islington, we take a doctor-led approach to skin boosters, ensuring treatments are safe, ethical, and tailored to your individual needs. Our goal is always natural, refreshed results — never artificial or exaggerated.

What Are Skin Boosters?

Skin boosters are injectable treatments designed to improve hydration, elasticity, and overall skin quality. They differ from dermal fillers: while fillers add structure and volume, skin boosters are lighter and focus on restoring skin health. Most boosters are based on hyaluronic acid (HA), a naturally occurring sugar molecule that attracts water and keeps skin supple. By delivering HA deeper into the skin, boosters achieve results that topical products cannot.

Profhilo®: A New Generation of Skin Booster

Profhilo® is one of the most advanced and widely used skin boosters available today. Its formulation is unique, containing one of the highest concentrations of HA on the market, with no added chemicals or stabilisers.

Key features of Profhilo® include:

- Ultra-pure HA designed for deep hydration.

- Dual action: hydrates and stimulates collagen and elastin.

- Innovative spreading technology that disperses evenly beneath the skin.

- A two-session protocol (one month apart) for optimal results.

Unlike traditional fillers, Profhilo® does not stay in one place or add volume. Instead, it spreads evenly through the skin, working to remodel and rejuvenate from within.

How Does Profhilo® Work?

Profhilo® is injected using a series of small points, commonly five on each side of the face. From these points, the HA disperses evenly into the dermis. It works in two main ways:

- Deep Hydration → HA attracts and binds water, giving skin a plumper, more radiant appearance.

- Collagen & Elastin Stimulation → Profhilo® stimulates fibroblasts, encouraging the production of key proteins for skin firmness and elasticity.

Together, these effects create skin that feels healthier, smoother, and more resilient.

Common Treatment Areas

Profhilo® and other skin boosters can be used in several areas, including:

- Face → the most common area for overall glow and elasticity.

- Neck → reducing crepiness and sagging.

- Décolletage → improving texture and smoothness.- Hands → restoring hydration and firmness.

What to Expect From Treatment

Step 1: Consultation — A doctor-led consultation reviews your skin concerns, medical history, and treatment goals.

Step 2: Procedure — The treatment takes 15–30 minutes. Small injections are placed in precise points, creating temporary bumps that fade within 24–48 hours.

Step 3: Aftercare — Most patients return to normal activities immediately. Results develop gradually over 2–4 weeks, with a second session recommended for best results.

Results and Longevity

Patients typically notice:

- Fresher, more radiant skin.

- Improved elasticity.

- Reduction in fine crepiness.

- A natural glow that feels subtle but powerful.

Results usually last around 6 months after the initial two treatments. Many patients choose maintenance sessions every 6–12 months.

Safety and Side Effects

Skin boosters like Profhilo® have a strong safety record when administered by qualified professionals. Common short-term effects include mild swelling, redness, or visible bumps that typically resolve within 1–2 days. Rare complications include allergic reactions or infection if performed in unhygienic conditions. This is why choosing a regulated, doctor-led clinic is essential.

Myths vs Facts

Myth: Skin boosters are the same as dermal fillers.

Fact: Fillers restore volume and structure, while boosters improve skin quality and hydration.

Myth: Profhilo® is permanent.

Fact: Results are temporary, lasting around 6 months, and fade naturally.

Myth: Any injector can provide Profhilo®.

Fact: It should only be administered by medical professionals trained in anatomy and safety.

Myth: One session is enough.

Fact: Profhilo® usually requires two sessions for full effect.

Profhilo® vs Dermal Fillers

Profhilo® and dermal fillers are often confused, but they have different roles:

- Profhilo® → hydrates deeply, improves skin quality, stimulates collagen and elastin.

- Dermal Fillers → restore lost volume, refine contours, or add definition.

In many cases, the best results come from combining the two as part of a comprehensive treatment plan.

Combining Skin Boosters With Other Treatments

Skin boosters are often used alongside other aesthetic treatments for a complete approach to rejuvenation. They work well with:

- Botulinum toxin → softens expression lines.- Dermal fillers → restore facial balance and volume.

- Microneedling or PRP → boost regeneration and repair.

- Medical-grade skincare → maintain hydration daily.
