Advanced aesthetics & skin treatments in Brentwood, Essex
Profhilo and injectable skin boosters are often discussed together because both are used to improve skin quality, hydration and the appearance of ageing skin. However, they are not exactly the same treatment.
At Derma Aesthetics Clinic in Brentwood, we offer Profhilo alongside injectable treatments including Seventy Hyal and TKN HA 3. The right option depends on what you would like to improve and how your skin presents during consultation.
What Is Profhilo?
Profhilo is an injectable hyaluronic acid treatment designed primarily to improve hydration, elasticity and overall skin quality rather than to create the volume associated with a traditional dermal filler.
It is often grouped with skin boosters because hydration is a major part of the treatment, but Profhilo uses its own formulation and treatment technique and is generally considered a bioremodelling treatment rather than a conventional skin booster.
What Is a Skin Booster?
Skin boosters are injectable treatments generally based around hyaluronic acid. Rather than reshaping facial features, their purpose is to improve qualities such as hydration, smoothness, softness and radiance.
Products vary in formulation, concentration and recommended treatment protocol. This means that choosing a skin booster should be based on your skin rather than simply choosing the product name you have seen online.
Profhilo vs Traditional Skin Boosters
| Profhilo | Skin Boosters |
|---|---|
| Focuses on hydration and skin remodelling | Primarily used to improve hydration and skin quality |
| Uses a specific injection protocol | Injection technique varies by product and area |
| Often chosen where laxity and overall skin quality are concerns | Often selected for dehydration, texture and fine lines |
| Commonly used on the face and neck | May be used on the face, neck, décolletage and hands |
What About Seventy Hyal?
Seventy Hyal is a hyaluronic acid skin booster available at Derma Aesthetics Clinic. It may be considered where the aim is to improve hydration, fine lines and overall skin quality.
What About TKN HA 3?
TKN HA 3 is another hyaluronic acid injectable option. It can be used to support hydration and improve the appearance and texture of ageing or dehydrated skin.
Which Treatment Is Better?
There is no single answer. Someone mainly concerned about dehydration and fine surface lines may have different requirements from somebody noticing changes in elasticity and firmness.
In some cases Profhilo may be the more appropriate option; in others a traditional skin booster may be preferable. Treatments can also form part of a wider skin rejuvenation plan.
