Mid & Lower Face
Lifts mild sagging, smooths accordion lines (smile lines), and restores a healthy, bouncy texture.
Profhilo® Treatment in Manchester
If your skin is losing firmness or looking dull, traditional creams can only do so much. Fenix’s Profhilo® Treatment offers a revolutionary therapy that treats the source of aging.
Profhilo® is a hydrating bio-stimulator with ultra-pure hyaluronic acid. Its smooth consistency hydrates tissue and stimulates collagen and elastin, enhancing skin tone and elasticity for a natural glow.
How it works
Profhilo® is formulated using patented NAHYCO® technology, thermally cross-linking high and low molecular weight hyaluronic acid without the use of chemical binding agents (like BDDE).
The Main Causes & Our Targeted Approaches:
Deep Hydration: Low molecular weight HA provides immediate, intense moisture to the dermal and epidermal layers, delivering that signature “Profhilo glow.”
Structural Scaffolding: High molecular weight HA provides a stable architecture in the dermis, visibly lifting and firming skin laxity.
Tissue Remodeling: Rather than just filling a wrinkle, the entire tissue matrix is restructured and strengthened, smoothing out crepey textures globally.
Collagen & Elastin Synthesis: Over a period of 4 weeks, the slow release of HA stimulates fibroblast cells to produce 4 distinct types of collagen and elastin.
Areas Treated
Lifts mild sagging, smooths accordion lines (smile lines), and restores a healthy, bouncy texture.
Specifically targets the horizontal “necklace” lines and crepey, loose skin that gives away age.
Smooths out sun-damaged, crinkled skin and vertical sleep lines across the chest.
Restores lost tissue density to the back of the hands, hiding prominent veins and tendons.
Addresses stubborn skin laxity and textural drooping on the inner arms and above the knees.
The Process
Our expert aesthetic practitioner evaluates your skin laxity and hydration levels to confirm Profhilo® is the ideal treatment for your aesthetic goals.
The skin is cleansed. We identify the Bio Aesthetic Points (BAP)—5 safe injection sites on each side of the face to maximize product diffusion and minimize bruising.
Using a fine needle, the Profhilo® gel is injected just beneath the skin’s surface. The procedure is swift, typically taking less than 15 minutes to complete the injections.
A calming post-treatment arnica or cooling cream is applied alongside SPF to protect the skin barrier as you leave the clinic.
Key Benefits
Acts like a sponge beneath the skin, drawing in moisture to banish dull, dry, and lackluster complexions.
Significantly improves skin laxity, restoring the bouncy, firm elasticity of youthful skin.
Because it integrates completely with your tissue, it cannot create unnatural lumps, bumps, or over-volumized contours.
The 5-point BAP technique offers fewer injections, less discomfort, and reduced bruising risk.
Works harmoniously alongside anti-wrinkle injections and traditional fillers to elevate overall skin quality.
Candidacy
You are likely an ideal candidate if you:
Are aged 30+ and noticing early signs of skin aging, fine lines, or loss of elasticity.
Have thin, crepey skin on the face, neck, or décolletage that lacks vitality.
Want an all-over anti-aging treatment that looks 100% natural.
Seek intense hydration to combat dullness or textural irregularities.
Important Suitability Considerations:
Profhilo® is a skin conditioner and tightener, not a volumizer. If your primary goal is to augment your lips, define your jawline, or replace deep structural bone/fat loss (like deep sunken cheeks), dermal fillers will be a more appropriate primary treatment.
Aftercare
To allow the hyaluronic acid to disperse evenly beneath the skin:
Small bumps at injection sites are normal and usually disappear within 12 to 24 hours.
Do not rub the bumps; let the product diffuse naturally on its own.
Keep the injection sites clean to prevent bacteria from entering the micro-channels.
Avoid saunas, hot yoga, and intense workouts to reduce swelling and slow product metabolism.
Side Effects
Profhilo® boasts an excellent safety profile due to its ultra-pure formulation and absence of synthetic cross-linking chemicals. Normal post-treatment responses include:
Small, raised papules (bumps) at the 10 injection sites that resolve quickly (usually within 24 hours).
Mild tenderness, minor swelling, or pinpoint bruising at the injection sites that subsides within a few days.
Our practitioners will assess your facial anatomy, listen to your goals, and recommend only what is genuinely suited to you — with no pressure and no obligation.

FAQ
Between 20 and 30 minutes. The injections themselves are swift — typically under 15 minutes, across the five Bio Aesthetic Points on each side of the face.
The five-point BAP technique means fewer injections, less discomfort and a reduced bruising risk. A fine needle places the gel just beneath the surface of the skin.
Hydration is immediate: the low molecular weight hyaluronic acid draws moisture into the dermal and epidermal layers straight away. Collagen and elastin build over the four weeks that follow.
Over four weeks the slow release of hyaluronic acid stimulates fibroblast cells to produce four distinct types of collagen and elastin, so the result is maintained with a course agreed at your consultation.
Yes. It works harmoniously alongside anti-wrinkle injections and traditional fillers, raising overall skin quality rather than adding volume.
Small raised papules at the ten injection sites, which usually resolve within 24 hours, and mild tenderness, minor swelling or pinpoint bruising that subsides within a few days.
Yes. It is ultra-pure hyaluronic acid, thermally cross-linked with no chemical binding agents such as BDDE, so it can be dissolved in the same way as any hyaluronic acid product.
After 12 hours. Keeping the injection sites clean stops bacteria entering the micro-channels while they close, and the small bumps settle within 12 to 24 hours on their own.
Anything specific to you is covered at the skin assessment, which reviews your skin laxity and hydration levels. Afterwards, avoid saunas, hot yoga and intense workouts.
It suits most people aged 30 and over who are noticing early skin ageing. It is a skin conditioner and tightener rather than a volumizer, so lips, jawline definition and deep structural volume loss are better addressed with dermal fillers.
