I’ve loved looking back over some of our patient success stories recently and there was one that jumped out at me in particular because she had her neck treated and we see a lot of ladies, in particular, come to our Clinic with this concern.
The neck is one of the first places that start to show our age. These before and after photos also stood out to me because I remember how she approached the treatment-“a cautious optimist” (her words)- and was really blown away with the result she achieved with the Profhilo treatment.
Let me quickly get you up to speed about the Profhilo treatment: it’s a revolutionary type of injectable treatment. Not to be confused with a wrinkle filler, Botox or a skin booster, this treatment is a totally different category of injectable; Profhilo ‘bio-remodels’ your skin from the inside out which reverses skin sagging and makes your skin firmer.
Profhilo is a split treatment, meaning that one full treatment of Profhilo is split across two treatment sessions, in the main. However, if your skin has advanced signs of ageing a further session may be recommended for you.
“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 that thus far have been sustained. The results have exceeded my expectations. Better still, even my husband has noticed.”
The Summary
The signs of ageing seen in this lady’s skin were quite advanced before she had her skin treatments at our skin tightening clinic in Hertfordshire. As a result, our practitioner recommended three treatment sessions, rather than the usual two. These before and after photos show the improvement after her third session, but as she mentioned she then decided to go on and have a fourth as she was impressed by the results and wanted to see what she could achieve.

The care that Jane and her team show is exemplary, especially their follow up care for every treatment.
Response from the owner: Thank you for your 5 star review Laurie. We are so grateful you took the time to write about us and we're pleased you are happy with your treatment and follow-up care. Thanks for your kind comments. See you soon!
Nikki’s amazing. The cost of the treatment is reasonable. I’ve gone from looking like a hairy silverback gorilla to a silverback gorilla with a hairless back.
What was I ever worried about! From start to finish (reception to nurse) everyone was helpful, patient and happily answered all of my questions. The clinic is lovely with a welcoming and relaxing feel to it. I travelled from Essex and have no regrets. The procedure was done with great care and lots of advice. I can’t fault Nurse Jane and will not hesitate to return or recommend this clinic.
Emma is amazing amazing amazing !! She removed my huge ear keyloid with minimal scarring. She makes you feel so comfortable and supported. Very Grateful would recommend her and the clinic to anyone 🥰
The service is so personal and they have always given excellent advice and help. The staff are so professional and friendly and Nicky has been so kind and helpful with my daughter. I would 100% recommend them 😊
Thank you so much to Jane at The Skin To Love clinic for your care and great treatment provided this morning - very professional and made me feel relaxed during the treatment too. Look forward to seeing you again in a month. Col
Highly recommend the Skin to Love clinic , such a lovely relaxing atmosphere and so professional. I am very pleased with my treatment with Stuart and Jane both of whom took plenty of time to discuss my requirements, desired outcomes and exactly what to expect, including step by step explanation during treatment. Can’t wait to see the results emerging and beyond
Response from the owner: What a lovely review! Thank you for giving us feedback on your treatment results and the care you received from Jane. We’re really pleased you’re so happy with your results-enjoy!
Amazing service. The nurse, Emma, was professional and had a very warm and engaging manner. I was having a skin tag removed, every step was clearly explained and I felt comfortable throughout, I was called the next day, Sunday, to check everything was OK - it was. I would not hesitate to recommend.
Emma is a dermatologist at the top of her field. She performed the treatment and expertly removed the lesion from my leg. The histology report came in 10 days and Emma fully explained the results and outcomes in a calm and reassuring manner. Her expertise and knowledge is second to none and I would highly recommend her. It was such a relief to be able to see a dermatology specialist and to receive treatment straight away.

Yesterday, I underwent a Hydrafacial treatment with Nikki at The Skin To Love Clinic, and it was truly a remarkable experience.Nikki's expertise in tailoring the treatment to my skin's needs was evident from the start. The Hydrafacial process left my skin feeling deeply cleansed, hydrated, and rejuvenated.The addition of the J Lo booster serum took the experience to another level. Its application left my skin feeling incredibly smooth and plump, with a noticeable glow that was noticed by my husband,too!Overall, my Hydrafacial experience with Nikki exceeded my expectations. It's clear that her skill and attention to detail make her an exceptional aesthetician at The Skin To Love Clinic.I will definitely be back for more!

I had an excellent Hydrafacial which was recommended to me by Jane. I had my treatment with Nikki, who was so friendly and made me feel comfortable from start to finish. She was so professional and gave me all the information about each step of the facial. She struck the perfect balance between getting to know me/building a rapport, and also giving me the chance to switch off and relax. It was a lovely treatment and I’m so grateful to Nikki for all her knowledge and skill. My skin felt amazing afterwards and I received so many compliments about my “glowing skin”! Thank you for making it such a personable experience. We also added on the Slimyonik treatment which was so lovely and relaxing. I was able to add this on last minute after being recommended by Kerri. Again, tailoring the treatment to me personally added so much to my overall experience. I’m so glad I added this to the treatment and would recommend the skin to love clinic to anyone. Thank you Nikki, Jane & Kerri.
