Skin Boosters & Bio-Remodelling (Profhilo, Sculptra, Radiesse)

Injectable skin boosters and bio-stimulators that improve skin quality and firmness rather than adding contour volume. Profhilo hydrates and firms lax skin from a few precise points; Sculptra and calcium-hydroxyapatite stimulators prompt the skin's own support structures to rebuild gradually over a course. These suit patients who want healthier, firmer-looking skin and a natural, progressive result.

This group of injectable treatments targets skin quality and firmness instead of adding shape. Profhilo is a stabilised, highly concentrated hyaluronic acid that bio-remodels the skin: injected into a small number of strategic points, it disperses through the tissue, draws in water and stimulates the skin's own support structures, improving firmness, elasticity and radiance over the following weeks. It is commonly used on the lower face and is also suited to the neck, décolleté and crêpey skin on the hands; the usual protocol is two sessions about four weeks apart with maintenance every six months. For patients wanting a stronger structural effect, the clinic also offers collagen-stimulating bio-stimulators — Sculptra, based on poly-L-lactic acid, and a calcium-hydroxyapatite product (Crystalys, of the Radiesse family). These work differently from fillers: rather than giving an immediate volume change, they are gradually broken down while encouraging the skin to produce its own collagen, so improvement in firmness and quality builds over a course of sessions and can last well over a year. Treatment is delivered by a physician and takes around fifteen to twenty minutes; downtime is minimal, with small bumps or pinpoint marks settling quickly. These treatments are a good option for adults whose main concern is dull, lax or ageing skin rather than specific lines or lost contour, and they combine well with toxin and filler as part of a wider plan. Suitability and the right product for your skin are decided at consultation.
