If you’re considering Profhilo Birmingham, we invite you to book a consultation at our Edgbaston clinic. Dr Rinku will assess your skin, discuss your goals, and create a personalised treatment plan tailored to your concerns.
Profhilo is a stabilised, injectable hyaluronic acid treatment specifically designed to improve overall skin quality rather than add volume. Often described as a “skin booster,” it works from the skin’s surface inward to enhance hydration, texture and firmness, improving skin quality from the outermost layer. To experience the benefits of Profhilo, you can easily book an appointment with The Doctors Practice in Birmingham.
Unlike traditional dermal fillers, Profhilo has a runny consistency that allows it to spread evenly across a wide area. Profhilo’s unique structure enables it to flow through the skin’s subcutaneous tissue, facilitating effective tissue remodelling and skin rejuvenation. This distinct characteristic sets it apart from traditional hyaluronic acid fillers. It is not used to sculpt or contour the face, instead, it remodels the tissue itself, helping to treat skin laxity and restore a healthier, more radiant appearance.
Profhilo contains one of the highest concentrations of pure hyaluronic acid available in aesthetic medicine, 64mg in a single 2ml syringe, with no added chemical cross-linking agents. This unique formulation means the product integrates seamlessly into your skin without forming lumps or unnatural contours.
Profhilo is of of the most effective skin booster treatments of 2026.

The Profhilo treatment process at our clinic involves a series of defined steps, including an initial consultation, precise injection of the product, and comprehensive aftercare. This process is quick, minimally invasive, and requires little to no downtime for the patient.
All Profhilo treatments at our clinic are doctor-led, beginning with a face-to-face consultation with Dr Rinku at our Edgbaston practice. We believe in a personalised approach where your concerns are heard and your expectations managed honestly.
Your journey starts with a thorough assessment:
On the day of your treatment:
What to expect during treatment:
You may feel brief stinging or pressure as the product is injected. Small, visible bumps often appear at the injection sites – this is completely normal and usually settles within 12–24 hours.
Post-treatment care is straightforward:
Most patients return to work or normal activities immediately after leaving the clinic. Any slight redness, swelling or bruising typically resolves within 24–72 hours.
Profhilo is a CE-marked treatment with an established safety profile, widely used across Europe since 2015. When administered by an experienced medical professional, serious complications are extremely rare.
Most patients experience minor, temporary effects that resolve quickly:
These typically resolve within 24–72 hours without intervention.
Serious side effects such as infection, vascular occlusion or allergic reaction are extremely uncommon when Profhilo is administered correctly in a medical setting. Choosing an appropriately qualified practitioner significantly reduces these risks.
At our Edgbaston clinic, your safety is paramount:

As a CQC regulated, doctor-led clinic based in Edgbaston, The Doctors Practice provides a level of expertise and safety that sets us apart from non-medical providers. We serve patients from across Birmingham and surrounding areas including Wolverhampton, Walsall, Solihull and Sutton Coldfield.
Understanding how the Profhilo treatment works helps explain why so many patients in Birmingham are choosing this treatment over traditional options.
Profhilo is injected just beneath the skin using a fine needle. Once in place, the stabilised hyaluronic acid spreads evenly through the subcutaneous tissue, hydrating the skin deeply and triggering a biological response over the following weeks. Maintaining overall skin health can be complemented by staying proactive with comprehensive health screening services in Birmingham that support preventative care tailored to your needs.
The key to Profhilo work lies in its ability to stimulate collagen and elastin production within the dermis. Rather than simply “filling” wrinkles, Profhilo activates fibroblasts – the cells responsible for producing natural collagen and elastin – leading to genuine tissue remodelling.
Research shows that Profhilo treatment stimulates four distinct types of collagen, helping to rebuild and strengthen thinning, ageing tissue from the inside out. This makes it particularly effective for patients who want to address skin laxity rather than just surface-level lines.
The BAP Technique
Dr Rinku uses the Bio Aesthetic Points (BAP) technique when administering Profhilo treatment to the face. For alternative skin revitalisation options, you may also explore our mesotherapy treatments in Birmingham. This involves:
Two phases of action:
| Phase | Timeframe | What Happens |
|---|---|---|
| Immediate hydration | Within 3–5 days | Hyaluronic acid draws water into the skin, creating visible plumpness and a dewy glow |
| Tissue remodelling | Over 4–8 weeks | Stimulating collagen and elastin production leads to firmer, more elastic skin |
Peak results typically appear around four weeks after the second session, when collagen and elastin production reaches its maximum effect.
Profhilo treatments can safely treat multiple areas where the skin has become crepey, lax or dehydrated – not just the face. At our Edgbaston clinic, Dr Rinku tailors each treatment plan to address your specific concerns.
Common treatment areas include:
Less common but suitable areas:
Treatment plans are customised following a thorough skin examination with Dr Rinku. If you wish to treat multiple areas, this may require additional syringes and will be reflected in the overall cost – something we discuss transparently at your consultation.
Profhilo is suitable for a wide range of patients, but it works best for those with specific concerns about skin quality rather than deep structural volume loss.
Ideal candidates include:
Profhilo is effective across different skin types and tones. However, a medical assessment is always required before treatment to ensure it’s appropriate for you.
Profhilo may not be suitable if you:
During your consultation, Dr Rinku will review your full medical history, current medications and any relevant health factors. Suitability and safety are always assessed on an individual basis.
A standard Profhilo course consists of just two sessions, spaced four weeks apart. This protocol allows the hyaluronic acid to fully integrate into the tissue and maximise collagen and elastin stimulation.
| Timeframe | What to Expect |
|---|---|
| 3–5 days | Initial improvements in hydration and subtle glow |
| 2–4 weeks | Skin begins to feel firmer and more supple |
| 4–8 weeks | Optimal results – improved firmness, elasticity and radiance |
Results typically last around 6 months following a complete course, though this varies depending on age, lifestyle factors and baseline skin quality.
Many patients choose to repeat a maintenance session every 4-6 months to sustain their results. Dr Rinku will advise on the optimal schedule for your skin during your initial treatments.

Profhilo works alongside dermal fillers rather than replacing them. While fillers add volume to specific areas – such as cheeks, lips or jawline – Profhilo focuses on improving overall skin quality across larger zones. Dermal fillers often add volume to achieve a youthful appearance.
Key benefits of Profhilo:
One of the most significant advantages is that Profhilo delivers natural looking results. Because it integrates into the skin rather than sitting as discrete deposits, there are no lumps, bumps or the “overfilled” appearance sometimes associated with excessive filler use.
Profhilo is often chosen by patients who want to look fresher and more rested – rather than obviously “done.” It’s particularly popular among those who are new to aesthetic treatments or prefer a conservative approach.
Combination treatments
In some cases, Dr Rinku may recommend Profhilo alongside other treatments for more comprehensive rejuvenation:
This combination approach allows us to treat multiple concerns while maintaining a natural overall appearance. To learn more about the available aesthetic treatments and other services, please see our pricing page. Dermal fillers are one of our most popular treatments.
Profhilo treatment is highly versatile and can be safely combined with other aesthetic procedures to deliver optimal results tailored to your unique skin needs. Many patients at our Edgbaston clinic choose to enhance their skin rejuvenation journey by pairing Profhilo with dermal fillers, which allows us to both treat skin laxity and restore lost volume in targeted areas. While Profhilo works to stimulate collagen and elastin production for firmer, more hydrated skin, dermal fillers can address deeper lines and sculpt facial contours for a harmonious, youthful appearance.
For those looking to address fine lines and wrinkles, combining Profhilo with anti-wrinkle injections can further improve skin tone and elasticity, smoothing dynamic lines while Profhilo enhances the skin’s overall quality and texture. Additionally, Profhilo can be used alongside advanced laser treatments to boost collagen and elastin production, resulting in even greater skin tightening and a more radiant, dewy glow.
Every combination treatment plan is carefully customised following a thorough consultation, ensuring that each procedure complements the others for natural-looking, firmer, and more youthful skin. By integrating Profhilo with other proven treatments, patients can experience enhanced skin texture, improved tone, and a comprehensive approach to skin rejuvenation that addresses multiple concerns at once.
Most patients describe the sensation as mild stinging or pressure. The procedure is generally well-tolerated, and many find it painless. Numbing cream can be applied beforehand if you’re concerned about discomfort. The treatment takes just 15–20 minutes, so any discomfort is brief.
Initial hydration and a subtle glow are often visible within a few hours to a few days. Firmer skin and improved texture develop over 4–8 weeks as collagen and elastin production increases. Optimal results appear around one month after your second session. Profhilo is a favourite amongst those looking to treat skin laxity and skin tone.
Yes, Profhilo complements anti-wrinkle injections and dermal fillers well. Dr Rinku can advise on the best sequencing and timing for combination treatments during your consultation.
Downtime is minimal. You may have slight redness or small bumps initially, but these usually settle within 24 hours. Most patients return to normal activities immediately.
Results typically last around 6 months following a full course of two sessions. Maintenance treatments every 4–6 months help sustain the improvements.
Absolutely. Profhilo is popular among men seeking natural skin rejuvenation without obvious intervention. The subtle improvements in firmness and hydration appeal to patients who want to look refreshed rather than “treated.”
Yes, in some instances, Profhilo can be used to treat acne scars. It is mostly used to treat skin laxity.
Suitability depends more on skin quality than age alone. Patients in their late 20s with early signs of dehydration or dullness can benefit, as can those in their 60s+ with more advanced laxity. Dr Rinku assesses each patient individually.
At our Edgbaston clinic, Profhilo starts from £300 per session. A course of two sessions (four weeks apart) is typically recommended for optimal results. Exact pricing is confirmed at consultation based on areas treated.
You can book a face-to-face consultation by phone, through our online enquiry form, or by email. We’ll arrange a convenient appointment at our Birmingham clinic to discuss your skin concerns and treatment options.
