Skin Boosters and Profhilo in Cambridge

Skin boosters, also called mesotherapy or bio-revitalisation, involves remodelling the skin from within, using highly specific ingredients to nourish and rejuvenate the skin for a youthful and rejuvenated look. Our goal is to stimulate the production of collagen and elastin, both of which are essential for the skin’s natural elasticity. This can help revitalise skin, improve its appearance and reduce the signs of ageing and damage. We provide bespoke protocols combining treatment methods to address patients’ individual concerns.

We use a variety of products for boosting the skin.

PROFHILO

Profhilo treatment is the first BDDE-free stabilised injectable hyaluronic acid (HA) based product for treating skin laxity.

With one of the highest concentrations of HA on the market (64mg / 2ml) it not only boosts and hydrates the skin, but also remodels ageing and sagging tissue.

Profhilo treatment delivers great results both on its own or in combination with other treatments that we currently offer.

There are many characteristics that make Profhilo unique from anything else available on the market right now. There is no BDDE content. It is thermally cross-linked, generating stabilised hybrid co-operative complexes of H-HA and L-HA. Despite its high HA content, it has a low inflammatory profile coupled with pro-healing properties backed by clinical studies.

How does PROFHILO work?

As a stabilised product, Profhilo lasts in the skin around 28 days. During this time, the stimulation of 4 different types of collagen and elastin takes place by slow release of HA. This stimulation results in significant tissue improvement. Therefore, we cannot say that Profhilo is just a skin booster as it also has a significant tightening / lifting effect on the tissue.

How many treatments do I need?
