Profhilo in Winchester
Skin remodelled from within.
Hydration and firmness,
rebuilt from within.
Profhilo is a skin remodelling treatment, not a filler. It uses one of the highest concentrations of pure hyaluronic acid available in any injectable product, delivered into the skin at five specific points on each side of the face. Rather than adding volume or filling lines, Profhilo works by stimulating the skin's own collagen and elastin production, gradually improving texture, hydration, firmness, and overall skin quality from the inside out. The result is skin that looks and feels genuinely healthier, not treated.
Profhilo is manufactured without the chemical cross-linking agents found in most dermal fillers, which means it spreads naturally through the tissue rather than sitting in one place. This gives it a unique ability to remodel a large area of skin from just a small number of injection points. A course consists of two sessions one month apart, with the full effect building gradually in the weeks that follow. It is particularly effective for patients who are beginning to notice a loss of skin quality, firmness, or luminosity, rather than specific lines or volume loss.
Profhilo does not change the face. It restores the skin. The difference is subtle, natural, and often described as looking well-rested rather than treated.
Book a consultation →Skin quality,
not just treatment.
Profhilo works with the skin rather than on it. Our clinicians take the same careful, considered approach to this treatment as they do to everything else: assessing your skin in the context of your whole face and recommending only what will genuinely serve you.
Genuine improvement in skin quality
Profhilo addresses something that most aesthetic treatments do not: the overall quality and condition of the skin itself. Rather than targeting specific lines or areas of volume loss, it works across a wide area to restore hydration, improve texture, and stimulate the production of collagen and elastin. The result is skin that appears more luminous, feels firmer to the touch, and has a quality that is difficult to achieve through topical skincare alone. Patients frequently describe the change as looking healthier, more rested, and more like themselves at their best.
Results that are completely undetectable
Because Profhilo does not add volume or reshape any part of the face, the results are inherently natural. There is no risk of the treatment being obvious or of the face looking different in any way that others might notice. What people do notice is that you look well: a subtle improvement in radiance and firmness that reads as good health rather than aesthetic intervention. For patients who want to feel better about their skin without anyone being able to identify what has changed, Profhilo is often the ideal starting point.
No downtime, no filler
Profhilo is administered at five points on each side of the face, using a fine needle, in a session that takes around twenty to thirty minutes. There is no sculpting, no moulding, and no swelling of the kind associated with dermal fillers. Some minor redness or small bumps at the injection sites are normal and typically resolve within a few hours. Most patients return to their usual activities on the same day. The absence of any visible sign of treatment afterwards is one of the qualities that makes it particularly well suited to patients who value discretion.
Works well alongside other treatments
Profhilo is one of the most versatile treatments in aesthetic medicine because it improves the foundation on which other treatments work. Patients who combine Profhilo with anti-wrinkle injections, dermal fillers, or other skin treatments typically find that results appear more refined and last longer, as the overall condition of the skin is improved. At your consultation we always consider the full picture and will suggest a combined approach only when we genuinely believe it would serve you better than a single treatment alone.
What to expect at
every stage.
A Profhilo course at Parchment Street Dental is a considered two-session process. Select each step to find out what is involved.
We begin by assessing your skin quality, texture, and laxity in the context of your whole face and your goals. We discuss what Profhilo can realistically achieve for your skin type and whether it is the most appropriate treatment for what you are hoping to address. If a combined approach would serve you better, we will say so honestly. There is never any pressure to proceed on the day.
One treatment,
many concerns.
Profhilo is one of the most versatile skin treatments available. It addresses a wide range of concerns and can be used across multiple areas of the face and body.
The face
The face is the most common area for Profhilo treatment. It is particularly effective across the cheeks, jowls, and perioral area, where skin laxity and loss of firmness tend to appear earliest. Rather than targeting specific zones, Profhilo remodels the skin across the whole face, improving overall quality and radiance rather than correcting individual features.
The neck
The neck is one of the areas most patients are conscious of yet frequently overlook in their skincare routine. Skin here tends to thin and lose firmness with age, and topical products often struggle to reach the deeper layers where change is needed. Profhilo works effectively in this area, improving texture, hydration, and firmness to create a more cohesive result when combined with facial treatment.
The décolletage
The chest and décolletage are particularly vulnerable to sun damage and skin thinning over time. Crepey texture, loss of elasticity, and fine surface lines in this area can be difficult to address through other means. Profhilo delivers deep hydration and stimulates collagen production in the skin here, visibly improving texture and firmness and creating a more youthful appearance across the whole area.
The hands
The hands are one of the first places to show signs of ageing, with thinning skin, visible tendons, and a loss of the plumpness that characterises younger-looking hands. Profhilo can be used to restore hydration and improve skin quality in this area, making the skin appear smoother, more supple, and more consistent in texture. It is a subtle and highly effective treatment for patients who feel their hands give their age away.
Skin laxity
Loss of firmness and skin laxity is one of the primary reasons patients seek Profhilo. By stimulating elastin production within the skin, Profhilo improves the structure and resilience of the tissue, creating a subtle lifting and tightening effect that develops gradually over the weeks following treatment. It is most effective for mild to moderate laxity, and works particularly well when combined with other treatments.
Loss of radiance
Dull, flat skin that has lost its natural glow is often a sign of decreased hydration in the deeper layers of the skin, rather than a surface issue that skincare can fully address. Profhilo replenishes hyaluronic acid in the dermis, restoring the deep hydration that gives skin its luminosity and freshness. Patients frequently describe looking significantly more awake and well-rested after a course, without any visible sign of treatment.
Dull or rough texture
Uneven or rough skin texture, often described as a lack of smoothness or a crepey quality to the surface, responds well to Profhilo. As collagen and elastin production is stimulated in the dermis, the skin surface gradually becomes smoother and more even in texture. This is particularly noticeable in areas such as the cheeks, neck, and décolletage, where texture irregularities tend to be most visible.
Fine lines
While Profhilo is not a filler and does not target specific lines in the way that dermal filler does, the improvement in overall skin hydration, firmness, and elastin production can visibly reduce the appearance of fine surface lines over the course of treatment. This is particularly effective for lines caused by skin dehydration and thinning rather than muscle movement, making it complementary to anti-wrinkle injections for a more complete result.
Which is right
for you?
Profhilo and dermal filler are both hyaluronic acid treatments, but they work in entirely different ways and address different concerns. Dermal filler is a structured product placed precisely to add volume, restore contour, or fill specific lines. Profhilo is an ultra-pure, uncrosslinked hyaluronic acid that spreads through the tissue and works by stimulating the skin's own collagen and elastin rather than adding shape or volume. Many patients benefit from both, but understanding which one addresses your primary concern is the most important first step.
If your concern is skin quality, hydration, or firmness, Profhilo is usually the more appropriate starting point. If it is volume, contour, or specific features, filler is the better choice. Often, both work best together.

Everything you might want to know before your Profhilo consultation. Still have a question? We are always happy to help.
No. Both use hyaluronic acid but they are entirely different treatments. Dermal filler is a structured gel placed in specific locations to add volume, restore contour, or fill lines. Profhilo is an ultra-pure, uncrosslinked hyaluronic acid that spreads through the tissue and works by stimulating collagen and elastin production rather than adding shape or volume. It does not change how the face looks structurally. It improves the quality of the skin itself.
A full course of Profhilo consists of two sessions, spaced four weeks apart. The two sessions work together to achieve the full remodelling effect, with the skin continuing to improve for several weeks after the second treatment. Maintenance is typically a single session every six to nine months to sustain the results, rather than a repeat full course each time.
Many patients notice an improvement in skin hydration and radiance within the first two to three weeks. The full effect, including improvements in firmness and texture, develops gradually over the six to eight weeks following the second session as the skin's own collagen and elastin production increases. Results are progressive rather than immediate, which is part of what makes them appear so natural.
Most patients find Profhilo very comfortable. It is administered using a fine needle at ten points across the face, and the sensation is typically a brief sting at each injection site. Small bumps may appear at the injection points immediately after treatment but these settle within a few hours. There is no swelling of the kind associated with dermal filler and most patients return to their usual activities on the same day.
Yes, and it often works best as part of a broader treatment plan. Profhilo improves the underlying quality of the skin, which makes the results of other treatments appear more refined and last longer. It combines well with anti-wrinkle injections, dermal fillers, and other skin treatments. We always consider the full picture at consultation and will suggest combinations only when we genuinely believe they would serve you better than a single treatment alone.
Skin that feels like itself, only better.
