Skin Boosters & Profhilo: Your Complete Guide
Skin boosters are a category of injectable treatment designed not to add volume or change your features, but to deeply hydrate the skin from within and stimulate your body's own collagen and elastin production. The result is skin that looks and feels genuinely healthier — more radiant, plumper, and smoother. Profhilo is the gold standard in this category, and it is one of our most popular treatments at The Skin Clinic Essex.
What Are Skin Boosters?
Skin boosters are injectable hyaluronic acid treatments that work differently to traditional dermal fillers. Rather than adding structure or volume, they spread through the skin tissue to provide intense hydration and trigger the production of collagen and elastin. The result is an improvement in skin quality — texture, tone, elasticity, and radiance — rather than a change in facial shape.
What Is Profhilo?
Profhilo is the most advanced skin booster available. It contains one of the highest concentrations of hyaluronic acid on the market and is unique in that it spreads evenly through the tissue rather than staying in one place. It is injected at just five points on each side of the face using the BAP (Bio Aesthetic Points) technique, making it a quick and comfortable treatment. Two sessions are recommended, spaced 4 weeks apart, for optimal results.
What Results Can I Expect?
After a course of two Profhilo treatments, clients typically notice a significant improvement in skin hydration, texture, and firmness. Fine lines appear softer, skin feels more supple, and there is a natural, healthy glow. Results continue to improve for up to 4 weeks after the second treatment as collagen and elastin production increases. Results last approximately 6 months.
Who Is a Good Candidate?
Skin boosters are suitable for anyone looking to improve overall skin quality rather than change their appearance. They are particularly effective for clients in their 30s and above who are noticing early signs of skin laxity, dullness, or dehydration. They can also be used on the neck, décolletage, and hands.
