Frequently Asked Questions
Is Profhilo the same as a dermal filler? No. Although both use hyaluronic acid, Profhilo is designed to spread through the skin and stimulate collagen and elastin production, improving overall skin quality. Dermal fillers stay in place to add volume or structure to specific areas.
Can I have Profhilo and dermal fillers at the same time? In many cases, yes. Combining the two is a common approach, with fillers addressing volume loss and Profhilo improving the surrounding skin’s hydration and texture. Whether this is suitable for you will be assessed during your consultation.
Which treatment lasts longer? Dermal fillers generally last several months, depending on the product and area treated. Profhilo’s effects build gradually and are typically maintained with a course of treatments, often repeated periodically to sustain results.
Does either treatment hurt? Both treatments involve injections, so some mild discomfort during the appointment is normal. A topical numbing cream can be used to help keep you comfortable.
How do I know which treatment is right for me? The best way to find out is through a one-to-one consultation, where your skin can be properly assessed and your goals discussed. This ensures the recommendation is tailored specifically to you rather than based on a general assumption.
Is there any downtime? Most people experience little to no downtime with either treatment, though mild redness or swelling at the injection sites is common for a day or so afterwards.
Why a Personalised Consultation Matters
Because Profhilo and dermal fillers serve different purposes, the right choice depends entirely on your individual skin, your concerns and the results you are hoping to achieve. What works beautifully for one person may not be the right approach for another, even if their concerns sound similar on the surface.
At House of Aesthetics London, every treatment plan begins with a thorough, one-to-one consultation with our Nurse Prescriber, Natalie. She will assess your skin, talk through what you would like to improve, and help you understand whether Profhilo, dermal fillers, a combination of both, or an alternative approach altogether would best suit your goals.
If you are unsure which route is right for you, the best next step is simply to come in and talk it through. Pricing for both treatments varies depending on the areas treated and the number of sessions required, and this will be discussed in full during your consultation.
