Profhilo Skin Hydration & Collagen Boosting Treatment by Dr. Lina Kotecha
Profhilo is an effective and natural looking facial aesthetic treatment. Winning The Product Innovation of the Year in 2016 by The Aesthetics Awards, Profhilo is a new discovery in facial ageing by not just filling lines and wrinkles but by addressing skin laxity.
Profhilo is made of 100% HA (Hyaluronic Acid), and so it nourishes dermal cells and restores the firmness of the skin. This treatment will hydrate your skin from the inside out, reducing the appearance of any ‘crepey’ loose skin.
Profhilo is a skin laxity treatment that utilises patented technologies engineered for ‘skin remodelling’, a radical concept of tightening wrinkles rather than ‘filling’ them. It successfully stimulates the production of both the natural collagen and elastin to renew your skin from within. This significantly improves the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and helps to increase hydration and firmness across the face.
Thanks to the unique characteristics of Profhilo, skin condition can be visibly improved after just 2 sessions, with a 4-week interval, Dr. Lina Kotecha at Glen Dental uses only 5 injection points on each side of the face making it quick comfortable with minimal downtime. Profhilo can be used on a number of areas including the full face (including eye area), and neck. It is suitable for practically anyone, men and women, from 30 years old and with no upper age limit.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Why Choose Profhilo?
After the age of 30, we start losing a significant amount of collagen, elastin and Hyaluronic Acid. This means we start to see the signs of ageing in the form of fine lines, wrinkles and slightly lack-lustre dull skin. At this age, we should start to consider conserving our skin, therefore Profhilo is advised for individuals from around the age of 30 upwards, who want to target ageing skin.
Profhilo is also an excellent choice for you if you do not want to add volume to specific areas as it instead provides volume and hydration across the skin, giving an overall rejuvenated appearance.
There is no age upper limit either. In fact, in older patients, we have often seen more dramatic results. However, if you are over 60 your treatment does need to be managed carefully – for example, if there are deep folds present or the skin has lost elasticity, then combination treatments that include Profhilo may be more suitable. This is why facial aesthetic consultation prior to treatment is so important.
Profhilo® delivers very subtle results. However, if you’re looking for a lifting of the face, neck or any other area, then a combination approach with fillers, threads or surgery could be recommended.Will Profhilo work on my skin?
At the age of 30, we start to notice subtle changes in our skin because we start losing a significant amount of collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid. This is the time when many people would consider their first anti-wrinkle injections as the first lines start to appear. If you feel your facial tissue quality has dropped significantly, and that you may look older for your age, but are not ready for dermal fillers yet, Profhilo may be the best treatment for you.
How long does Profhilo last?
The results from Profhilo generally last up to 6 months. However, the results can vary from patient to patient.
What results can I expect from Profhilo?
After just a single course of Profhilo, which involves 2 injectable treatments 4 weeks apart, you can expect to see intense hydration and firmness to the skin. It makes the skin glow and fine lines can disappear. You’ll notice smoother, tighter skin. Even for those with very wrinkled skin, an improvement in the texture is always present. The treatment can be repeated after six months in cases or topped up every 4-5 months to maintain the results.
Profhilo aftercare
- There may be some tenderness, redness, swelling and bruising around the injection site. This is normal and will subside.
- If swelling or pain persists or you are concerned, please contact the clinic as soon as possible.
- Use a cold pack to reduce swelling and/or redness
- Do not massage or manipulate the treated area
- No recovery time is required and you can return to your daily activities immediately.
- Avoid any further cosmetic procedures for 2 days after treatment
- Avoid wearing make-up for 12 hours post-treatment
- Avoid extreme temperatures (hot or cold) for a minimum of 7 days after treatment (no saunas, steam rooms, sun beds or sun exposure)
- Apply a SPF30+ sunscreen
- Avoid strenuous exercise for 24 hours
- Avoid swimming for 48 hours
- Avoid alcohol for 24 hours after treatment
- Stay hydrated
Where can Profhilo be used?
Profhilo is most commonly used for facial areas but can also effectively be used for rejuvenating the neck, décolleté, arms, knees and hands. Profhilo delivers great results as a treatment on its own or in combination with other aesthetics treatments currently offered by Dr. Lina Kotecha
What is the difference between Dermal Fillers and Profhilo?
Primarily, Profhilo is primarily a hydrating treatment and the Hyaluronic Acid it contains is dispersed evenly throughout the face, giving your skin a plumper, fresh and firm look overall. As a result of the way that Profhilo is formulated, it is not a volumising treatment in the same way that dermal fillers are. Dermal fillers are used to enhance specific areas of the face (e.g. lips, cheeks, chin).
What does the treatment involve?
After your initial consultation with your facial aesthetic practitioner, they will decide if Profhilo is suitable for you.
Profhilo treatment is administered over two sessions at 4 weeks apart. During the treatment session, the facial aesthetic practitioner will cleanse your skin and then place 5 precise markings on each side of your face. These are called BAP or Bio Aesthetic Points. 0.2ml of Profhilo is then administered to each point. The marks are then removed.
Immediately after treatment, there may be some redness at the injection site and you may experience some itching or tenderness in the treated area. This will generally disappear within 24-hours.
How much does Profhilo cost?
Profhilo Skin Hydration & Collagen Boosting Treatment costs £275 per session.
Complications and side effects
- There may be some localised lumps where the Profhilo has been injected. These lumps will subside usually 4-6 hours after the treatment, but they can last up to 24 hours. Not every patient gets these swellings and if you have had treatment and are concerned please do give us a call.
- After your treatment, the common effects are mild redness, slight swelling and possible bruising. The treatment area may feel tender to touch and all of these effects are normal, will subside in a few days, but may last up to a week. Each day everything should improve slightly and the area should look more normal and feel better.
- It is very uncommon to have any serious side effects, however if you do experience any of the following, please call the clinic immediately, or if after hours, seek help from a GP or A&E:
- swelling that is getting worse as time passes
- increase in pain and getting more severe with time
- skin feeling hot, redness increasing and becoming worse in time
- skin near the treatment area or along the side of the nose looking pale/white or greyish in colour on the day or day after the treatment, and pain increasing in this area
- generally feeling unwell in the days following your treatment
SUCCESS STORIES
"I’ve recently had my teeth whitening done by Lina, the results are amazing and I can’t stop smiling. Lina and the rest of the staff are so lovely and welcoming, they gave me lots of information about the procedure before I had it done and answered any questions I had. Would definitely recommend this dental clinic."
PW, Leicester"I have recently become a member of Glen Dental, after having a chip in my front tooth. All experiences so far have been very good. With speedy turn arounds. I would highly recommend to anyone looking to switch practices or who are not currently at a practice. Ricky is very professional along with all of the staff being very friendly, which helps make that daunting dentist visit a lot more pleasant."
JS, Market Harborough“Lina has helped to restore my faith in dentists, her calm and gentle approach has helped me to achieve the smile that I have longed for.”
IP, Leicester“I am a nervous patient and I have always found Glen Dental and all the staff there to be very sensitive to my fears. They are very reassuring and kind and I wouldn't hesitate in recommending them to anyone.”
FW, Kibworth"I'm a new patient to the practice and chose Glen Dental following various consultations at other practices. Ricky Patel was my dentist.
This was my first treatment at Glen Dental and the experience was all round very comfortable and felt minimally invasive. Ricky took his time with the treatment and was very meticulous with the great results coming through, which I'm very happy with. The composite bonding really did transform my teeth- a look and feel and I'm very happy with the outcome- brilliant!
The clinic was very comfortable with friendly staff with a clean environment. From my prior experiences at dentists, I have found it to be uncomfortable and wanting to leave as soon as possible but this was not the case with Ricky at Glen Dental. Great practice!"
"Like a lot of people I'm not overjoyed at going to the dentist and I'd had a particularly difficult experience at my previous surgery so I was very anxious.
From the very first phone call with the genuine and understanding receptionist to the initial review with the dentist and the eventual filling I needed, everything was calm and reassuring.
The waiting room doesn't smell or sound like a traditional dentist which was a huge relief. The dentist patiently listened to my concerns and made every effort to make it easier for me.
I was prepared for some pain but the system they use delivered the anaesthetic effectively and I honestly felt nothing other than a single sharp scratch and the mild vibration of the drill. It was a revelation!
I would highly recommend to anyone who is feeling anxious about treatment. Their fees are clearly stated and they consult with you about each item of the treatment plan they suggest so no nasty surprises when you come to pay. A positive experience from start to finish."
"Wonderful friendly staff, helped me get back on top of my dental hygiene. Very informative through each appointment.I would highly recommend have done a wonderful job. Thanks again for the great service Glen Dental"
TC, Great Glen"After not being to a dentist since 2017 and having some gum issues I decided to get booked for a consultation here. I was so nervous but from the first phonecall I felt at ease with them. Jo is a diamond and so welcoming as soon as you walk through the door. She has a personal touch that really makes you feel comfortable in these situations.
Ricky is my dentist and him and his lovely assistant really made me feel so much calmer and I couldn’t be more pleased with the outcome of my deep cleaning. I’m now on a dental plan with them and can already notice a huge difference in my gums firming back up!
I highly recommended this dentist and their plan, and I’ve already recommended to my family who are looking to move over this way. Thank you so much, I’m really pleased I came here and I no longer feel scared about going to the dentist which I never thought I’d say!"
