Profhilo in Addlestone
Profhilo for the face and neck from £200 per session. A course of two treatments four weeks apart to hydrate and firm your skin, at Lucy’s private clinic in Addlestone, Surrey.
How it works
Hydration that spreads
Profhilo is an injectable made from a high concentration of hyaluronic acid. Unlike filler, it is not used to add shape or volume to one spot. Once injected it spreads gently under the skin to hydrate it and improve its quality.
It is often chosen for dehydrated or dull skin, mild loss of firmness, fine lines and crepey texture. On the face it is placed in five small points on each side, so the appointment itself is quick. Profhilo can also be used on the neck, where skin is thinner and often shows signs of ageing early.
Profhilo is not a facelift. It will not lift heavy jowls or replace lost volume, and Lucy will always be honest at your consultation about whether it is right for you.

After your Profhilo
You will see small raised bumps at each injection point straight afterwards. These usually settle within a few hours to a day. Some people also have mild swelling, redness or bruising.
Profhilo works gradually. Some people notice their skin looks more hydrated within a couple of weeks. The full effect usually shows a few weeks after the second session. Results vary with age, skin and lifestyle.

Questions
Common questions
If your question isn’t here, message Lucy on WhatsApp or see the full FAQs page.
How many Profhilo sessions do I need?
Profhilo is given as a course of two sessions four weeks apart. After that, many people have a maintenance session every six months or so.
Does Profhilo hurt?
The injections can sting a little. Most people find it very manageable and the appointment is quick.
Is Profhilo the same as filler?
No. Filler adds shape and volume to a specific area. Profhilo spreads under the skin to hydrate it and improve its quality. It does not change the shape of your face.
Who shouldn’t have Profhilo?
Profhilo isn’t suitable during pregnancy or breastfeeding. It may also not be right if you have an active skin infection or certain medical conditions. Lucy will go through your health history before treatment.
