Profhilo is a hyaluronic acid skin booster made by IBSA. It's injected in small amounts at a few points and spreads under the skin, where it draws in water. The aim is skin that looks more hydrated and firmer. At Maison Aesthetics, Silan does every Profhilo treatment, from £225.
No. Profhilo doesn't add shape or volume the way dermal filler does. It contains a high concentration of hyaluronic acid and, in IBSA's words, is "100% free from cross-linking chemical agents" (IBSA). Most dermal fillers are cross-linked. That's why it spreads instead of staying where it's placed, and why it doesn't change the shape of your face.
Yes. The neck is one of the most common places for Profhilo, because neck skin is thin and shows dryness and fine lines early. Profhilo on the neck costs £225, the same as the face, or £400 for face and neck together in one appointment.
Silan places the product at points spread across the front of the neck, avoiding the centre. Expect the same small bumps as on the face, and wear a scarf or high collar on the day if you'd rather nobody saw them. Neck results take the same course of two sessions to build.
Profhilo suits adults whose skin looks dry, dull or a little crepey, or has started to lose its bounce. Clients often book it for the lower face, the neck, or the lines that show on the neck when you look down at your phone. It's for over-18s only.
It isn't the right treatment for deep lines, sagging jowls or lost volume in the cheeks. Silan will tell you if filler or another treatment would do more for you. It also isn't suitable during pregnancy or breastfeeding, over active skin infections, or if you're allergic to hyaluronic acid.
Choose Profhilo for skin that feels thin, dry or crepey and needs hydration from underneath, in two sessions. Choose Teoxane Redensity 1 for fine lines and dull skin across the whole face, in three sessions with many small injections. Choose microneedling for texture, pores and scarring on the surface.
The three can work together. Some clients have Profhilo first and microneedling later in the year. Silan will suggest an order at your consultation, along with how much each plan costs. See every skin price on the skin treatments page.

About SilanWhat happens before your first treatment.
Your consultation with Silan is free and comes before any treatment. Silan asks about your health, medicines, allergies and previous treatments, looks at your skin and talks through whether Profhilo is the best use of your money. You hear the plan and the price before you book.
Avoid alcohol, and if your GP agrees, painkillers such as aspirin and ibuprofen for 24 hours before treatment, since they can make bruising more likely. Book at least two weeks before an event, so any bumps or bruising have time to settle.
Your first appointment is a free consultation. You agree the plan and the price before any treatment. Book it online.
Unit 56, 1st Floor, The Harvey Centre, Harlow, Essex, CM20 1XR. Monday to Saturday 9:30 to 18:00, Sunday 9:30 to 16:00.
The appointment itself.
Silan cleans your skin and marks the injection points, usually five on each side of the face. Profhilo goes in through a fine needle at each point, a small amount at a time. The whole treatment takes a few minutes once your skin is prepared, and you can usually go back to your day afterwards.
You'll see small raised bumps at each injection point. They're the gel before it spreads, and they usually flatten within a few hours to a day. The injections sting briefly.
For the neck, Silan places the product in a pattern of points across the neck instead.
Looking after your skin in the days that follow.
Don't touch or massage the bumps, and skip make-up on the injection points for the rest of the day. Avoid hard exercise, alcohol, saunas and steam rooms for 24 hours. Bruising is possible and usually fades within a few days. Silan goes through aftercare with you before you leave.
Rare side effects include infection and allergic reaction. Contact the clinic on 07399 752632 if a bump becomes painful, hot or red, or doesn't go down after a couple of days.
What to expect, and for how long.
Profhilo is usually given as two sessions about four weeks apart, and results tend to show most a few weeks after the second. IBSA, the maker, recommends two sessions 30 days apart, then maintenance sessions "every 2-3 months, as required" (IBSA). Silan will suggest a schedule for your skin, and results vary.
The course of two costs £400, which saves £50 on two single sessions. The neck costs £225 on its own, or £400 for face and neck together in one appointment. You can see every price on the prices page.
