Profhilo And Microneedling Together

Achieve The Best Results With Profhilo And Microneedling Together 

Radiant skin that’s healthy, hydrated, smooth, and firm; is it too much to ask for?!  No, and at our Hertfordshire skin clinic, one of the combination treatments our clients love for just this is Profhilo and microneedling together. As standalone treatments they have earnt their reputation from their ability to plump, hydrate, smooth, firm, and boost skin quality. When strategically used together, you’ve got a winning combination of outside-in and inside-out skin rejuvenation.

As someone who’s interested in what professional skin treatments can do for you, it’s important to understand that there’s no magic wand; sometimes the best results come from a combination of approaches which allow us to tackle the different factors contributing to the changes in your skin. One of the combinations that clients at our Hertfordshire skin clinic like is Profhilo and Microneedling.

Profhilo contains an extremely high concentration of hyaluronic acid which hydrates the skin tissues from within, and microneedling, which stimulates natural collagen production and skin regeneration through tiny punctures in the skin, are two in-demand skin treatments.

Not only are they excellent treatments on their own, happily they work incredibly well together. Combining Profhilo and microneedling together (with careful timing) can boost your skin health and skin confidence to a whole new level. Dullness, firmness, texture and glow can all be improved without anyone knowing why, they just think you look well.

Results from the Profhilo treatment can be noticed within a few days, with some initial, subtle improvements. The same is true for microneedling. Whether you’re looking to reduce the appearance of lines, refresh dull skin texture, or achieve that elusive ‘lit from within’ glow, this guide will help you understand how these two powerhouses work together, and how to do it safely, with confidence, and effectively.

Can you Combine Profhilo and Microneedling? Yes... With Care.

For good reason, “can you have microneedling after Profhilo”  is a question we’ve been asked many times. Microneedling and Profhilo combined are excellent for improving firmness, smoothness, quality, hydration, texture and tone; so, the idea of combing them is very tempting. The great news is that, yes, you can combine Profhilo and microneedling if you get the timing right.

Each treatment works in its own unique way. Microneedling stimulates natural healing, and collagen production through tiny punctures in the skin, via ‘microneedles’; this encourages the body to regenerate your skin from within. The result is smoother texture, tighter pores, improved scarring (including acne scars) and a refined texture over time.

On the other hand, Profhilo is injected just under the skin in strategic points across the face. The honey-like Profhilo then intentionally spreads throughout your skin, stimulating collagen and elastin production whilst delivering super deep, internal hydration to the skin and its supporting tissue. Unlike dermal fillers Profhilo isn’t designed to create volume or ‘fill’ a wrinkle; instead, it restores your skin’s natural architecture, quality, and luminosity.

With appropriate timing, in combining these two treatments you are targeting skin health and unwanted aspects of ageing from multiple angles, both treatments supporting one another.

When a client visits our CQC-regulated clinic we would not recommend doing both treatments on the same day. One of the keys to safe and effective combination results is timing; giving your skin the chance to benefit fully from each step without negatively impacting your skin or the other treatment. A careful and considered treatment plan is essential!

How to Combine Profhilo and Microneedling for the Best Results & Improve Skin Hydration

Let’s think of combining treatments as a skincare ‘symphony’; each treatment is a different instrument, and good timing ensures that the result is harmonious, not chaotic. Your aesthetic clinic should be able to expertly time your Profhilo and microneedling together for you, so don’t worry too much about this, nevertheless it’s good have some understanding of this.

Following manufacturer guidance and our own clinical experience, the ideal approach for this combo is allowing the skin enough time to respond to each treatment without overwhelming it nor causing possible issues for the other treatment. Here’s an example of a typical treatment plan that we may recommend. Please be aware this is not specific for you, lovely reader; what you wish to improve, and your skins story, are unique to you and your practitioner will tailor a plan to match your needs during a consultation:

Week 1: Microneedling

Week 2 - 4: First Profhilo session

Week 4-6: Second microneedling

Week 6-8: Second Profhilo session

Week 8-10 onwards: Resume microneedling, if required

As you can see, this is an example of a staggered approach, supporting skin regeneration without overloading it and offering flexibility dependent on the clients' diary and their skin’s usual recovery time.

No matter if it’s used in combination or as a stand-alone skin treatment, Profhilo is recommended to be taken in two sessions, spaced four weeks apart; this is the manufacturer’s guidelines and stops the skin getting overwhelmed. Although Profhilo is two different sessions, these make up a single treatment, so not having the second session would mean that you’ve essentially had half a Profhilo treatment. This is just for your information, not something to be overly concerned about.

By allowing a structured time between the treatments, your skin can respond effectively to the deeply hydrating, bio-remodelling effects of Profhilo and the regenerative stimulation from microneedling. When thoughtfully paired, the results can not only look fresh and beautiful, but they also gradually build and have a positive longer-term impact.

What Results Can you Expect from Profhilo and Microneedling?

Of course, instant gratification has its appeal, however some skincare goals can’t be achieved overnight; sometimes the transformation happens gradually. However, combining Profhilo and microneedling can somewhat scratch that itch for instant gratification as well as offering results that naturally develop. Together Profhilo and microneedling work together to refresh the surface of the skin, strengthen it, and regenerate from the outside-in and inside-out, resulting in skin that whispers ‘wow, she looks so well’ rather than bringing up the question: ‘I wonder what treatment she’s had’.

Let’s break down what each treatment can give you. Starting with Profhilo:

  • Profhilo treatments can deliver visible improvement within just a few days after the first session; plumper, hydrated skin. However, the true benefits of Profhilo lie beyond a ‘quick fix’.
  • The magic lies in the weeks that follow your full Profhilo treatment as the product continues to work beneath the surface of your skin.
  • Results from Profhilo can improve even after the treatment period, as your skin continues to benefit from the boost in collagen and elastin; the proteins that give elasticity, structure, and that youthful bounce.

Microneedling is similar in that some clients can see an early improvement in their skin, often an initial glow, before the deeper results begin to show. What you’re aiming to improve will influence how many sessions of microneedling may be recommended; deeper concerns such as wrinkles or acne scarring are likely to require more sessions than someone looking to boost their glow and help to maintain their rejuvenated skin:

  • Microneedling can help with a number of concerns, from softening lines and wrinkles, to improving texture and acne scarring.
  • Much like Profhilo, the magic of microneedling happens in the weeks and months after the treatment as collagen and elastin production starts to improve the appearance of your skin.

Together, microneedling and Profhilo work beautifully together to nourish, hydrate, regenerate and support healthy new skin. The outcome? Radiant skin that feels and looks firmer, smoother, softer, more hydrated, with a more even tone and texture; without changes that make you look different. It’s just you, with smoother, healthier, more rejuvenated skin.

Is This Combination Right For You?

You may be wondering, is combining Profhilo and microneedling the right path for your skin elasticity? If you’re looking for a way to stimulate collagen production, improve skin firmness, texture, hydration, and overall skin health in a subtle and natural-looking way, then this treatment combination may well be worth your consideration.

These aesthetic treatments are not about chasing youth or following trends. They’re data-supported treatments that encourage natural regeneration of your skin, supporting its health, and helping you to look and feel like the best version of yourself.

That said, it’s important to understand that there’s no such thing as one-size-fits-all treatment, or combination of treatments, at our CQC-regulated clinic. Your skin has its own unique story; from genetics to hormone shifts, to stress and skin care routine. Additionally, your preferences will help define your ideal treatment plan; maybe you’re focusing on long-term health, perhaps you’re looking to improve acne scars, or maybe you’re looking to maintain your beautiful skin laxity.

Whatever the case, your specific treatment plan should be built around you.

Combining Profhilo and microneedling can offer a powerful approach that respects your natural beauty; one that strengthens with hyaluronic acid, regenerates, and revitalises your skin without looking like you’ve had anything ‘done’. With the right guidance, timing, and plan, this treatment pairing can help you feel confident in your healthy skin.

Does Profilo use hyaluronic acid to increase my collagen production?

+

Yes, Profhilo is an injectable treatment that contains a high concentration of hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the body. Unlike traditional fillers, which are used to add volume, Profhilo is designed to deeply hydrate and stimulate collagen and elastin production, helping to improve skin texture, firmness, and elasticity. This bio-remodelling effect with hyaluronic acid helps enhance the skin’s structure, resulting in more youthful skin and long-lasting renewal, all with minimal downtime.

What are the differences between chemical peels, dermal fillers, laser treatments, and other treatments?

+

Each aesthetic treatment targets different skin concerns and works in a unique way to improve overall skin quality:

  1. Chemical peels use controlled acids to remove dead skin cells, revealing smoother, fresher skin underneath. They’re great for improving skin texture, tone, and the appearance of fine lines or excessive sun exposure damage.
  2. Dermal fillers are injectable treatments that restore lost volume, contour the face, and reduce wrinkles. Unlike Profhilo, which hydrates and remodels, fillers are designed to ‘fill’ specific areas.
  3. Laser treatments use light energy to target pigmentation, redness, or scarring, and can help with collagen stimulation and skin rejuvenation.
  4. Other aesthetic procedures, like Profhilo or microneedling, focus on enhancing skin quality through deep hydration or triggering the natural healing process to stimulate collagen production.

Choosing the right combination of easthetic treatments depends on your goals, whether that’s a more radiant complexion, smoother texture, or a general youthful glow.

Does your clinic offer other aesthetic treatments?

+

Yes, absolutely. Our CQC-regulated clinic in Hertfordshire offers a wide range of aesthetic treatments designed to support healthy, youthful skin and target various skin concerns. In addition to Profhilo and microneedling, we offer chemical peels, dermal fillers, skin boosters, chin filler, laser treatments, and more. Whether you’re looking to improve skin quality, restore skin’s hydration, or maintain your skin’s vitality, we’re here to help you create a personalised plan with the right combination of skincare treatments tailored to your skin type and skincare routine.
