When it comes to revitalising your skin in Central London, patients in Mayfair often ask whether Profhilo or Skin Boosters are the right choice. At Alcove Aesthetics by Dr Goziem, we provide expert guidance on doctor-led treatments that enhance hydration, firmness, and radiance while maintaining natural results.
Introduction
As skin ages, it loses volume, hydration, and elasticity. Fine lines, dullness, and sagging can subtly alter the facial appearance. While topical products provide temporary support, professional treatments like Profhilo and Skin Boosters offer long-lasting, visible improvement by working beneath the surface to stimulate collagen and enhance skin quality. The key difference lies in how each works and the results you can expect.
Patients visiting Alcove Aesthetics seek subtle yet effective rejuvenation. Dr Goziem Onuchukwu ensures every treatment plan is personalised, focusing on natural enhancements rather than drastic changes.
What Are Profhilo and Skin Boosters?
Profhilo
Profhilo is an injectable hyaluronic acid treatment designed to improve skin laxity and hydration. It spreads beneath the skin to stimulate collagen and elastin production, improving firmness and overall tone. Key features include:
- Hydration & Elasticity: Enhances skin quality by stimulating natural collagen
- Subtle Lift: Improves sagging without altering facial contours
- Minimal Downtime: Quick recovery with gentle treatment
Reference Prices: Profhilo £300 (1 session) | £550 (2 sessions)

Skin Boosters
Skin Boosters, such as 70 Hyal, deliver targeted hyaluronic acid to improve hydration and texture. Unlike Profhilo, they are typically administered in a more localised manner, ideal for fine lines, dryness, and early signs of ageing.
- Deep Hydration: Penetrates multiple skin layers for lasting moisture
- Texture Refinement: Smooths fine lines and tightens pores
- Customisable: Can focus on specific areas such as cheeks, under eyes, or forehead
Reference Prices: 70 Hyal £250 (1 session) | £450 (2 sessions)
