What’s the Difference Between Profhilo and Dermal Fillers?

When you catch your reflection, you might notice your skin feels tired, lacks its usual glow, or seems a bit loose. Those fine lines might be growing more visible. Perhaps you avoid photos or social occasions because you don’t quite recognise the person staring back.

You tried creams and serums, but they fail to deliver the lift or glow you want. If this sounds familiar, you might have come across Profhilo and dermal fillers — two popular types of facial treatment. Many people find these treatments confusing because they both promise rejuvenation but achieve it in very different ways.

Here at Facial & Body Sculpting Clinics, we’ve helped many clients figure out what’s right for them not by explaining the science, but by listening to their concerns and understanding their goals.

Here’s what sets Profhilo and dermal fillers apart and how you can decide which facial treatment suits your unique skin story.

What is Profhilo and what does it do?

Profhilo injects a high concentration of hyaluronic acid into the skin to hydrate and stimulate collagen production deeply. It does not add volume or change your facial shape. Instead, it smooths fine lines, tightens loose skin, and boosts your complexion’s radiance.

Many clients describe it as a “skin refresher” that brightens dull complexions and eases early signs of ageing. It’s a gentle way to restore the youthful bounce your skin once had. This facial treatment appeals to those looking for visible but natural changes.

If you’re also looking for supportive skincare products, our online shop offers a range of clinically approved options that complement in-clinic results.

Why choose Profhilo?

  • Hydrates and firms skin
  • Smooths fine lines naturally
  • Revives dull, tired skin
  • Fits easily into your schedule with minimal downtime
  • Keeps your look subtle and authentic

Who suits Profhilo best?

Profhilo works well for clients in their 30s and 40s who notice early ageing. It suits people with dry or crepey skin wanting a natural glow without changing facial contours. Many choose Profhilo to refresh their skin before deeper lines appear. It also pairs well with other facial treatment options like Botox or dermal fillers.

What are Dermal Fillers and how do they work?

Dermal fillers are gel-like substances, mostly hyaluronic acid, injected beneath the skin to restore lost volume, smooth deeper wrinkles, and enhance facial contours. They add fullness to lips, cheeks, jawline, and other areas affected by ageing.

Why choose dermal fillers?

  • Restore facial volume and shape
  • Smooth deeper lines and folds
  • Define lips, cheeks, and jawline
  • Show immediate results
  • Last 6 to 18 months depending on product and area

How do Profhilo and dermal fillers differ in effect?

Profhilo hydrates and tightens skin, improving texture and elasticity without changing shape. Dermal fillers add or restore volume, sculpting and lifting features.

Both use hyaluronic acid. Profhilo features a lighter formulation for widespread rejuvenation. Fillers are thicker gels for precise contouring.

What happens during a Profhilo or dermal filler treatment?

Profhilo

You receive a few small injections on each side of your face. The treatment takes about 30 minutes. Two sessions spaced a month apart produce optimal results. Most people have minimal redness or swelling afterward, with little to no downtime.

Dermal fillers

Treatment time varies with goals and areas treated, generally 30 to 60 minutes. You see results immediately. Minor swelling or bruising may occur but fades in days. Maintenance sessions keep results fresh.

Can you combine Profhilo and dermal fillers safely?

Yes. Many clients find the best results by starting with Profhilo to improve skin quality, then adding fillers to restore volume. This layered approach offers a natural, balanced look without excess. Our clinicians design facial treatment plans tailored to your needs and lifestyle.

What should you expect in terms of safety and side effects?

Both treatments carry minimal risk when clinicians perform them skillfully. Some redness, swelling, or bruising may appear but fades quickly. We provide clear aftercare instructions and remain available for any questions during your healing process.

How do you choose the right facial treatment?

Think about your goals:

  • Do you want to enhance skin texture and hydration without altering your facial shape?
  • Do you seek to restore lost volume or smooth deeper wrinkles?
  • How much downtime fits your lifestyle?
  • What result feels natural and satisfying for you?
