Profhilo or dermal fillers?

A common question, because both use hyaluronic acid. But they do very different jobs. Here is the honest difference, with our Southport team.

Skin quality versus volume

Profhilo and dermal fillers are both made from hyaluronic acid, which is why people ask whether Profhilo adds volume like filler. It does not. They serve different purposes, and understanding this makes choosing clear, part of our skin-regenerating treatments.

Which Treatment Is Right For You?

Profhilo

A bio-remodelling treatment that spreads through the skin to hydrate deeply and firm, improving overall skin quality and mild laxity.
2 sessions 4 weeks apart, maintained around every 6 months

This is suitable for those looking for:

Hydration, firmness and skin quality

Dermal fillers

A firmer gel placed in specific areas to add volume and shape, restoring lost fullness or defining features.
6 to 18 months depending on the area

This is suitable looking for:

Volume loss and contouring

The core difference

Profhilo spreads through the skin to hydrate and firm, improving quality across a whole area without changing shape. Dermal filler stays where it is placed to add volume and structure, changing contour. Profhilo is about the health and firmness of the skin; filler is about shape.

Which is right for you

If your skin looks tired, crepey or is losing firmness but your shape is fine, Profhilo suits better. If you want to restore lost volume or define a feature, dermal filler is what you need. Many people benefit from both, treating skin quality and shape together. We help you decide at consultation.

Can you combine them?

Yes. Profhilo for skin quality and filler for shape complement each other well, and a full plan often uses both.
