Treatment Comparison
Profhilo vs Skin Boosters
Both Profhilo and skin boosters use hyaluronic acid to improve skin quality without adding volume. But they achieve their effects in different ways, with different protocols and different outcomes.
Profhilo
From £250
Best For
- ●Skin laxity and firmness
- ●Bio-remodelling — stimulating collagen and elastin
- ●Lower face, neck, and décolletage
- ●Patients seeking structural improvement
How It Works
One of the highest concentrations of pure hyaluronic acid on the market, placed at 5 specific points per side (BAP technique). It spreads beneath the skin and bio-remodels tissue.
Results
Visible at 4-6 weeks after 2nd session. Lasts 6 months.
Appointment Duration
15-20 minutes
Skin Boosters
From £150
Best For
- ●Dehydrated, dull skin
- ●Fine lines and crepey texture
- ●Overall glow and hydration
- ●Patients seeking a radiant complexion
How It Works
Multiple micro-injections of thinner HA across the treatment area deeply hydrate the skin and improve texture from within.
Results
Visible within 2-4 weeks after a course of 3 sessions. Lasts 4-6 months.
Appointment Duration
30 minutes
Which Should You Choose?
Profhilo is the right choice if your main concern is skin laxity or you want structural improvement — firmer, tighter skin. Skin boosters are the right choice if your skin looks dull, dehydrated, or lacks glow — they're about radiance. Neither adds volume.
Can You Have Both?
Yes — they complement each other beautifully. Many patients have Profhilo for the structural benefit, then skin boosters for ongoing glow. A common protocol is Profhilo twice a year with skin boosters in between.
Common Questions
Which has more downtime?
Similar — both cause small bumps that resolve within 24-48 hours. Profhilo has only 5 injection points per side so recovery is fastest.
Which is cheaper?
Per session, skin boosters are cheaper (£150 vs £250). But you need 3 sessions of skin boosters vs 2 of Profhilo, so total course cost is similar.
Do they both count as 'anti-ageing'?
They both improve signs of ageing, but neither treats wrinkles directly. For wrinkles, you'd combine these with anti-wrinkle injections.
Still Not Sure?
The best way to decide is a free consultation with Dr Niru. She will assess your face honestly and recommend what's right for you — even if that means doing nothing.
