SKIN BOOSTERS IN LEEDS AND CHESHIRE
WHAT ARE SKIN BOOSTERS?
Skin boosters are injectable treatments that use hyaluronic acid (HA), a substance naturally found in the skin that helps retain moisture. Regular dermal fillers primarily add volume or structure but skin boosters work differently. They hydrate the skin deeply, improve elasticity, and help to smooth the skin's surface, contributing to a refreshed appearance. The treatment involves administering small quantities of HA into the skin.
THE SKIN BOOSTER WE USE AT AESTHETICA MEDICAL IS PROFHILO
We have carefully selected Profhilo for our skin booster treatments from a wide choice. Profhilo contains a high concentration (one of the highest available) of hyaluronic acid and is recognised for its bioremodelling properties. It works by hydrating the skin and stimulating the production of collagen and elastin over a period of time. This aligns with our approach of both giving our patients the best, and also providing treatments that support the skin's natural processes for noticeable, yet subtle, results. Profhilo integrates into the tissue, offering hydration without adding significant volume, which makes it suitable for improving overall skin quality.

BOOSTING YOUR SKIN’S HEALTH FROM WITHIN
Many topical creams provide surface-level hydration, skin boosters go deeper, working within the skin to restore firmness, radiance, and elasticity. As is the case with traditional fillers, Profhilo does not alter facial volume or shape. Instead, it rejuvenates the skin’s internal structure by stimulating collagen and elastin, improving both skin quality and texture across multiple layers. It’s a foundational skin health treatment that enhances your overall skincare routine.
COMMON TREATMENT AREAS
The face is the most popular area for skin boosters. Profhilo can be used across various zones prone to dryness, thinning, or creping:
- Face (particularly lower cheeks and jawline)
- Neck and décolletage: reduce crepey skin and fine lines
- Hands: restore volume and skin integrity
- Upper arms: often used for patients noticing skin laxity
During your consultation, your clinician will advise on the most appropriate treatment zones based on your skin’s condition and goals.
PROFHILO VS OTHER SKIN BOOSTERS
There are several types of injectable skin boosters on the market (e.g. Teosyal Redensity). However, Profhilo is unique due to its ultra-pure formulation, high concentration of hyaluronic acid, and bioremodelling ability. It does not contain chemical cross-linking agents, making it more biocompatible and ideal for patients seeking a more natural treatment approach.
| Feature | Profhilo | Other Skin Boosters |
|---|---|---|
| HA Concentration | High | Moderate |
| Stimulates Collagen | ✔ | Partial |
| Adds Volume | ✘ | Some do |
| Injection Points | 5-point (BAP) | Multiple |
| Downtime | Minimal | Varies |
BENEFITS BEYOND AESTHETICS
In addition to aesthetic improvements, Profhilo can support the skin’s overall health by increasing moisture retention, reducing trans-epidermal water loss, and improving skin barrier function. Many of our patients describe their skin as “glowing,” “plumper,” and “more elastic” within weeks of treatment.
THE TREATMENT STEPS
- Consultation - As with all treatments, your first step is a consultation with our doctor to discuss your skin goals and assess your suitability for treatment with a skin booster. A personalised treatment plan will be created.
- Procedure - The skin booster treatment involves injections at specific points on the face or other treatment areas ( neck or hands). The procedure itself usually takes around 30 minutes. Your treatment will involve minimal discomfort, though some patients report a brief stinging sensation at the injection sites.
- Sessions - Profhilo treatment typically involves two sessions spaced approximately 4 weeks apart. Some patients with more significant skin laxity may require a third session.
- Aftercare - Specific skin booster aftercare instructions will be provided. This will involve gentle care of the area.
- Results - Improvements in hydration may be noticed relatively soon, while the effects on collagen and elastin develop over several weeks. Results typically last up to 6 months. Maintenance sessions are usually advised every 6 months.
