Profhilo is a totally new category of anti-ageing injectable treatment and it’s taking the cosmetic industry by storm. One Skin to Love patient walks us through her experience.
Having a new cosmetic or aesthetic treatment can be daunting; will the treatment hurt? How will I look afterwards? The unknown can often be the worst part of any cosmetic procedure; this is exactly why one of our wonderful patients, ‘M’, a lady in her late sixties has written down her experience of the revolutionary Profhilo treatment at Skin to Love.
Coming to us with concerns about ageing on her neck (a super common area of concern), M had a consultation with her practitioner at the Clinic and, after some discussion, it was decided that she would try the Profhilo treatment to try to smooth and firm her neck. A full Profhilo treatment consists of two quick treatment sessions taken approximately 30 days apart. In some cases, usually, where the signs of ageing are particularly advanced, your practitioner may recommend three sessions rather than the usual two. As M mentions, she was so impressed with her results after the recommended three sessions she opted for a fourth session, just to see if she could achieve any further results. Below she walks us through her treatment, so you know just what to expect:
“This treatment worked for me!
A cautious optimist by nature, I began the staged procedure not expecting to see a huge improvement. 60 years of too much sun, not enough sunscreen and a general lack of attention to my throat had taken its toll: the skin was loose and wrinkled, the skin tone generally poor. Would Profhilo be the answer?
I’d read about the science behind the procedure and had a great deal of confidence in the Skin to Love team. True to form, the detailed explanation about what would happen and the recovery time was exactly right. The injections were painless (I had no need for the stress balls) and on each occasion the insect bite-like marks that they left had disappeared within 24 hours. I had one small bruise after my second session which took a couple of days to fade but otherwise there were no signs of any interventions two days after each treatment. I had four sessions. The fourth was an optional top-up to smooth out some remaining creases – not strictly necessary, but to my eye it did make a difference.
The impact was rapid, visible and successive. Each treatment resulted in improvements which thus far have been sustained. The results have exceeded my expectations. Better still, even my husband has noticed.”
Ms ‘after’ photos were taken after the recommended three sessions recommended for her.
So How Does the Profhilo Treatment Work?
What is profhilo we hear you ask, well it is not to be mistaken for a dermal filler, skin booster or mesotherapy, the Profhilo injectable treatment introduces slow-release hyaluronic acid (HA) to lax, crepey skin to trigger a cellular response, often referred to as switching your skin’s ‘lights on’; Profhilo awakens and stimulates your regeneration process whilst deeply hydrating your skin and implementing a ‘scaffolding’ effect within your ageing tissue.

I’ve had the HydraFacia treatment with anti-aging booster recently and I couldn't be more pleased with the results! My skin feels incredibly clean, hydrated, and has a radiant glow. Nikki was fantastic—she meticulously explained each step of the treatment, ensuring a comfortable and enjoyable experience. The thoughtful touch of a follow-up call post-treatment added a personalised touch that I truly appreciated. Thank you, and I'm definitely looking forward to more sessions!
Thank you Emma. You made me feel comfortable and calmed my nerves. The procedure was smooth and quick and Emma kept me distracted the whole time. Would definitely recommend.

I've always been made to feel very welcome when visiting the Skin to Love Clinic. The follow-up sessions are a great opportunity to monitor progress and chat about any changes. Jane is very thorough and knowledgeable and her skin product recommendations have worked a treat. All the staff are really really lovely, I cannot fault a thing. Thank you!❤️
I had 3 moles removed (one on my face, and two on my body) by Emma. She did a wonderful job and they are healing up beautifully. She is clearly incredibly knowledgeable and I was well informed about the process. Not only that but she put my mind at ease fantastically as I was feeling quite nervous. We were able to laugh and chat throughout the appointment and I actually left in a better mood than when I went in! That is definitely Kudos to Emma (and the lovely staff at the front desk who always made me feel so welcome). Thank you so much.
I was a bit anxious about my skin condition at first however , it was by far the best experience I’ve had in a clinic so far. I was reassured and made feel comfortable. The expertise of Jane is outstanding, she went above and beyond and I would recommend her to anyone who is looking for professionalism, warmth and effective treatment. Thank you!
Couldn't have been easier, very quick and efficient procedure with full aftercare instructions, thank you Emma for all your additional advice, you were brilliant. I'm healing well!!!
I've been visiting the Skin To Love Clinic for around 6 years and cannot fault the staff and the service. I am made to feel special at every appointment and over the years Jane has offered me fantastic advice about my skin and general wellbeing. Jane has a wealth of experience and I wouldn't trust my face to anyone else! The result is always fresh and natural looking and I always leave the clinic with renewed confidence. Thank you!

Update: I've now had 7 C&B treatments and I stand by my feedback below: my experience has been consistently very positive and the treatment shows consistently beautiful resultsExceptionally positive experience:* A consultation is required to determine whether the requested treatment is suitable for me. This reassured me of their expertise and integrity (that they wouldn't just push any treatment on me)* Specialist Jane is clearly an expert on the Clear&Brilliant treatment and provided me with a comprehensive insight in the procedure + follow-up care and answered all my questions* Tomorrow I'll receive a check-in call, which shows their level of attentiveness* Reception staff is very friendly, welcoming and helpful* So far my Clear and Brilliant treatment looks good, will see results in 2-4 weeks
Very welcoming clinic and staff are knowledgeable and make you feel at ease. Natalia is very professional and discussed all aspects of my treatment and what to expect. Offered advice for further treatment without any pressure.I am pleased with the appearance of my skin after Obagi skincare treatment.
My hydro facial with Nicki was amazing. So relaxing and my skin looked hydrated and glowing after. A number of people commented. I will definitely be back.
I have been coming to Skin to Love for 9 years and have never felt better. People always comment on how well I look. I recommend them to all my friends.
I’ve been coming to skin to love clinic for two years and find all the staff fantastic. They are attentive, considerate and focused on giving you the best possible experience in their care.
I’ve had multiple injectable treatments with Natalia and highly recommend her. She is so knowledgeable and makes you feel really calm. She’s also so gentle - you can hardly feel the injections! The whole clinic is a fantastic experience.
Thank you Natalia for my treatment. My skin looks so fresh after the Chemical Peel treatment.Thank you also for kindly explaining the process of various other treatments that will suit my skin.I feel very relaxed and confident in your capable hands and your kind and empathetic character. Many thanksChris
Excellent advice and care from the team, from walking through the door to the treatment itself. They have helped me and my daughter with effective and careful treatments.
Joanna is absolutely amazing, not only is she so lovely and calming she’s so good at what she does. I had my second treatment today, previously I had micro neeeling and today I had my lips filled and I couldn’t be happier with both results! Such natural results which is exactly what I was going for. Couldn’t recommend this place enough!
Initial assessment. The receptionist Morag was very welcoming and helpful. I rarely go to beauty salons so felt a bit apprehensive. Jane was lovely, professional and understanding. She explained my options ad I felt confident with the information she was giving me.
The treatment I had was amazing, although I didn’t quite expect the level of pain to start with, but through breathing deeply, I managed to overcome it and lay for an hour whilst the treatment was working.Thank you Nicky for looking after me!
Emma is a lovely woman who has put me at ease throughout my treatment of getting moles removed. She’s extremely professional and explains the process and treatment thoroughly.
