Profhilo Newcastle: A Guide to Profhilo Treatment at DRS Clinic

If you are looking for Profhilo in Newcastle, you may be considering treatment because your skin feels less hydrated, firm or fresh than it once did.

At DRS Clinic Newcastle, we believe improving the skin doesn't necessarily mean changing the way you look. For many patients, the goal is simply healthier-looking, smoother and more hydrated skin.

Profhilo is one of the injectable skin treatments we offer from our Newcastle city centre aesthetic clinic. But, as with every treatment at DRS Clinic, our starting point isn't the product — it's you.

What is Profhilo?

Profhilo is an injectable treatment containing a high concentration of hyaluronic acid (HA).

Hyaluronic acid occurs naturally within the body and plays an important role in maintaining hydration within the skin. As we age, changes within our skin contribute to the gradual development of dryness, fine lines and loss of elasticity.

Profhilo is designed to be injected at specific points beneath the skin, where the product disperses through the surrounding tissue.

Rather than creating facial volume or changing facial contours, treatment is focused predominantly on improving skin quality and hydration.

What does Profhilo do?

One of the reasons patients choose Profhilo is its focus on the skin itself.

Profhilo may be considered when you are beginning to notice:

• Drier or dehydrated-looking skin

• Fine lines

• Crepey skin

• Reduced elasticity

• Loss of firmness

• Dull or tired-looking skin

• General changes associated with skin ageing

The aim is not to make you look dramatically different.

Instead, we are looking for a gradual improvement in the way your skin looks and feels.

Profhilo vs dermal fillers – what's the difference?

This is one of the most common questions we hear during consultations at DRS Clinic Newcastle.

Although both treatments contain hyaluronic acid, Profhilo and dermal fillers are not the same treatment.

Dermal fillers are generally placed strategically to replace or enhance volume, improve facial proportions or provide structural support.

Profhilo is used differently.

Rather than sculpting a particular facial feature, Profhilo disperses within the tissue and is primarily used to improve skin hydration and quality.

If you are unsure which approach is appropriate, you don't need to decide before your appointment.

That's what your consultation is for.

Where can Profhilo be used?

Profhilo for the face

The face is one of the most commonly treated areas.

Profhilo can be considered for patients noticing declining skin quality, particularly where the skin is beginning to appear less hydrated or firm.

The treatment uses a series of strategically positioned injection points rather than attempting to add volume to individual facial features.

Profhilo for the neck

The neck can be one of the first places we notice changes in skin quality.

Fine lines, reduced elasticity and crepey skin can become increasingly visible over time.

Profhilo neck treatment may be considered where the aim is to improve hydration and overall skin quality without adding unnecessary volume.

During your consultation, we will assess whether Profhilo alone is appropriate or whether another treatment would better address your concerns.

How many Profhilo treatments will I need?

Profhilo is commonly performed as a course rather than viewed as a single treatment.

The exact number and spacing of treatments recommended will depend upon your skin, age, treatment area and individual goals.

Your practitioner will discuss your recommended treatment programme during your consultation.

We also believe in reviewing results rather than automatically performing treatment simply because another session has been scheduled.

When will I see results?

Profhilo isn't intended to produce the immediate structural change you might associate with dermal filler.

Improvements develop more gradually.

Patients may begin to notice that their skin appears more hydrated, smoother and refreshed following treatment, with results evolving over the following weeks.

Individual results and longevity vary.

Does Profhilo have downtime?

Profhilo involves a series of injections, so small raised areas can initially be visible at the injection sites.

These usually settle, although bruising, redness, tenderness and swelling can occur following injectable treatments.

We will discuss expected recovery, risks and aftercare with you before treatment.

Profhilo or a skin booster?

There are now many injectable treatments marketed as skin boosters, and it can be difficult for patients to understand the differences.

Profhilo is just one option.

At DRS Clinic Newcastle, we can also assess whether other approaches to improving skin quality may be more appropriate for you.

This might include injectable skin treatments such as SKINVIVE or polynucleotides, medical-grade skincare, microneedling, laser or other skin rejuvenation treatments.

Rather than asking, "Which treatment is best?", we prefer to ask:

"What are we actually trying to improve?"

Once we understand that, we can recommend the treatment — or combination of treatments — most suited to your skin.

Why choose DRS Clinic for Profhilo in Newcastle?

At DRS Clinic, our philosophy is based around safe, subtle and natural-looking results.

We don't believe every patient needs treatment, and we don't believe every concern needs an injectable solution.

Your appointment begins with a detailed consultation where we assess your skin, discuss what is bothering you and understand what you hope to achieve.

If Profhilo is appropriate, we'll explain why.

If we believe another treatment would be more effective, we'll explain that too.

And if we don't think you need treatment, we'll tell you.
