This guide explains Profhilo cost in London, package options, and what you actually get for your investment. It is written by a doctor-led facial aesthetics clinic in Central London, serving Mayfair, St James’s, Westminster, Knightsbridge, Belgravia, Soho, Marylebone, Fitzrovia and Chelsea. You will also find information on expected results, how long Profhilo lasts, and how it compares with other skin boosters so you can decide what is right for your skin and your budget.
Introduction: the real reason patients ask about Profhilo prices
When patients ask, “How much does Profhilo cost in London?”, what they usually mean is:
- Is it worth it compared with other treatments?
- How many sessions will I really need?
- Can I achieve natural results without looking “done”?
Women in their 30s, 40s and 50s often come to Alcove Aesthetics feeling that their skin looks tired, dull or slightly sagging, even when they are well rested. They do not necessarily want more volume in their face, but they want better quality skin that looks smoother, firmer and more hydrated.
Profhilo is designed exactly for this – to improve skin quality from within, not to change your features. Under the care of Dr Goziem Onuchukwu (BDS, MSc Aesthetic Medicine), a GDC registered dentist with over 7 years’ experience and 1,000+ patients treated, Profhilo is used as part of a bespoke skin plan for natural, age-appropriate rejuvenation.
What It Is & How It Works
Profhilo is an injectable skin booster made from highly purified hyaluronic acid (HA). Unlike dermal fillers, which are designed to add shape or volume, Profhilo is formulated to spread evenly under the skin, acting more like a “liquid moisturiser” and collagen stimulator.
The science in simple terms
Ultra-pure hyaluronic acid
Profhilo contains one of the highest concentrations of HA on the market, but it is not cross-linked like traditional fillers. This means it does not behave as a lump or a gel that holds shape – instead it flows and diffuses through the skin.Bioremodelling
Once injected, Profhilo stimulates your own fibroblast cells to produce more collagen and elastin. This process, called bioremodelling, gradually improves skin firmness, elasticity and thickness over several weeks.Hydration from within
Hyaluronic acid attracts and binds water. Profhilo increases water content in the deeper layers of the skin, leading to a plumper, more luminous appearance without puffiness.Minimal injection points
On the face, Profhilo is usually injected using a standardised “BAP” protocol with 5 injection points per side. This gives high coverage with fewer injections, reducing bruising risk.
Why doctor-led technique matters
Although Profhilo might appear straightforward, optimal results depend on:
- Correct patient selection
- Precise placement and depth
- Adjusting injection patterns for areas such as neck, décolletage or hands
- Combining with other treatments when appropriate
At Alcove Aesthetics, all Profhilo treatments are performed by Dr Goziem himself, a multi-award-winning practitioner (Best Anti-Ageing Practitioner Central London 2024 & 2025, Skin Aesthetics Specialist of the Year 2025). Your treatment plan is based on a medical consultation, skin analysis and your personal goals, not a one-size-fits-all package.

Treatment Journey
Knowing what to expect at each stage makes the investment feel calmer and clearer.
1. Consultation and skin assessment
Your journey begins with a detailed consultation with Dr Goziem:
- Medical history and suitability assessment
- Discussion of concerns: dullness, fine lines, crepiness, loss of firmness
- Examination of skin quality, thickness and elasticity
- Explanation of Profhilo vs alternatives such as Sculptra or dermal fillers
- A clear plan outlining number of sessions, cost and expected results
If you are new to injectables or feeling unsure, this consultation is a safe space to ask questions and explore all options.
2. Profhilo treatment session
On treatment day:
- Your skin is cleansed thoroughly.
- Optional topical anaesthetic cream is applied if you are nervous, although most patients tolerate Profhilo very well.
- Profhilo is injected using a very fine needle at precise points. You may feel a short sting or mild pressure.
- Small bumps where the product sits under the skin are normal immediately after treatment and usually settle within 12 to 24 hours.
A standard appointment for Profhilo usually takes around 30 minutes door to door.
3. Second session and review
For best results, Profhilo is typically given as:
- Session 1: Day 0
- Session 2: 4 weeks later
At Alcove Aesthetics, you will be reviewed at or after your second session to assess your response, take progress photos if you wish, and decide on future maintenance. Some patients then move on to a tailored maintenance plan or combine Profhilo with other skin treatments for more comprehensive rejuvenation.
Recovery & Aftercare
Profhilo requires very little downtime, which is why it is so popular with busy Central London professionals.
- Immediate effects: Mild redness, small lumps or tenderness at injection sites are common and usually settle within hours.
- Back to normal: Most people return to work or social plans the same day, avoiding heavy makeup for the first 24 hours.
- Aftercare advice:
- Avoid intense exercise, saunas and steam rooms for 24 hours
- Avoid alcohol on the day of treatment to minimise bruising
- Do not massage or press the treated areas
You will receive personalised aftercare instructions and have access to the clinic if you have any concerns.
Cost & Transparency
At Alcove Aesthetics, Profhilo pricing is clear and upfront:
- Profhilo single session: £300
- Profhilo standard course (2 sessions): £550
Profhilo can also be included within broader skin booster plans or combined treatment packages when appropriate. Multi-treatment options are discussed during your consultation so you can understand both cost and benefit before deciding.
A £50 booking fee is taken to secure your appointment. This is fully redeemable against your treatment total, with a 48-hour reschedule policy for flexibility.
All prices are reviewed regularly to remain fair for a doctor-led aesthetic clinic in Central London while maintaining safety, quality products and generous appointment times.
FAQs: Profhilo Cost, Safety and Suitability
How many Profhilo sessions will I need?
Most patients need an initial course of two sessions, spaced four weeks apart. In some cases of very thin, crepey or sun-damaged skin, an additional third session may be recommended for optimal results. Maintenance is usually every 6 to 9 months, but this is individual.
Is Profhilo painful?
Discomfort is usually mild and very short-lived. The injections involve a brief stinging sensation, and you may feel a sense of pressure as the product is placed. Numbing cream can be applied for extra comfort, especially for the neck or more sensitive areas.
How long do Profhilo results last?
Collagen and elastin stimulation continues for several weeks after treatment. Many patients notice maintained benefits for around 6 months, sometimes longer. Lifestyle, smoking, sun exposure and general health all influence how long results last, which is why a tailored maintenance plan is helpful.
Is Profhilo safe for everyone?
Profhilo has an excellent safety record when administered by a qualified medical professional. It is not suitable if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, have certain autoimmune conditions or allergies to hyaluronic acid, or have active skin infections in the treatment area. A full medical consultation with Dr Goziem is essential to confirm suitability.
How does Profhilo compare with other treatments?
Profhilo is best for improving skin quality, hydration and mild laxity. It does not replace wrinkle relaxers, volume restoration or resurfacing. For some patients, Profhilo is combined with treatments like PRP for deeper regenerative effects, or with dermal fillers and Botox for structure and line softening. The ideal plan depends on your concerns and how subtle or transformative you want your results to be.
