Mobile Profhilo Treatments in South Wales
Profhilo is an injectable hyaluronic acid treatment focused on skin quality rather than facial shape.
At The Renovo Clinic, Profhilo is used when the aim is to improve hydration, skin texture and the appearance of lax or crepey skin without adding the structural volume associated with dermal filler.
Renovo serves clients in their own home from Abergavenny, Blackwood, Blaenau Gwent, Caerphilly, Cwmbran and across South Wales. Treatment is planned following consultation so we can decide whether Profhilo actually matches the concern you want to improve.

What is Profhilo?
Profhilo is an injectable treatment made from hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid naturally attracts water and is widely used in aesthetic medicine, but Profhilo is not used in the same way as a conventional dermal filler.
Rather than being placed to build cheekbones, reshape the jaw or create facial volume, Profhilo is designed to spread through the tissue and support hydration and skin quality.
That makes it a good fit with the way we work at Renovo: skin quality first, facial alteration never.
What can Profhilo help with?
Profhilo may be considered where the main concerns are:
- dehydrated or dull-looking skin
- fine lines
- crepey skin
- reduced elasticity or firmness
- mild skin laxity
- a general decline in skin quality
It is not a treatment for every line, hollow or area of volume loss. If the concern is mainly structural, Profhilo may not be the right tool.
Profhilo is not dermal filler
This distinction matters because both treatments contain hyaluronic acid, but they are used for different jobs.
Dermal filler is normally used to create or restore volume and can alter facial contours. Renovo does not offer dermal filler.
Profhilo is used as a skin-quality treatment. The aim is not to sculpt the face, sharpen the jaw or make features larger. If you are looking for facial reshaping, this is not the treatment we would pretend will do it.
How is Profhilo different from a skin booster?
Profhilo and conventional hyaluronic acid skin boosters overlap because both can be used to improve hydration and skin quality, but they are not identical treatments.
Skin boosters are generally delivered through multiple small injections across the treatment area. Profhilo is commonly administered through a smaller number of defined injection points, allowing the product to disperse through the tissue.
Neither is automatically “better”. The more useful question is which treatment makes the most sense for your skin, your priorities and your budget.
You can also read about our skin boosters and NCTF 135 HA if you are comparing options.
How many Profhilo treatments will I need?
A course of two treatments is commonly used, followed by review and maintenance where appropriate.
That does not mean everybody needs the same plan forever. Your skin, treatment area, previous treatments and response all matter. We will explain the recommended course before you proceed rather than automatically selling a package.
How much does Profhilo cost at Renovo?
Profhilo costs £190 for one treatment or £360 for two treatments.
If you book one treatment and later decide to continue with a second, we will explain the options before further treatment. You can also view the wider Renovo price list.
What happens during treatment?
Your appointment begins with consultation and assessment. We will discuss your medical history, skin concerns, previous aesthetic treatments and what you are actually hoping to improve.
The skin is then cleansed and prepared before Profhilo is injected at planned points within the treatment area.
You may see small raised bumps immediately afterwards at the injection sites. These normally begin to settle as the product disperses.
Is there downtime?
Most people can return to normal day-to-day activity quite quickly, but an injectable treatment is not completely invisible the moment it is finished.
Temporary effects can include small raised injection bumps, redness, tenderness, swelling, bruising or minor pinpoint bleeding. These usually settle, although bruising can remain visible for several days.
If you have an important event coming up, leave enough time for your skin to settle rather than booking at the last minute.
When will I see a difference?
Profhilo is not intended to create an instant structural change. Any improvement in hydration or skin quality develops over time and results vary between people.
The treatment makes more sense when the goal is gradual improvement in the condition and appearance of the skin rather than a dramatic change in facial shape.
Who may be suitable for Profhilo?
Profhilo may be worth considering if you are mainly concerned about dehydration, crepey texture, fine lines, reduced elasticity or mild laxity and want a treatment focused on the skin itself.
Suitability still needs to be assessed properly. Pregnancy, breastfeeding, active infection or inflammation in the treatment area, relevant allergy, certain medical conditions or recent procedures may affect whether treatment is appropriate.
This is not an exhaustive list, which is why consultation comes first.
Profhilo, polynucleotides or skin boosters?
There is no sensible universal winner.
Polynucleotides are positioned more around gradual skin repair and tissue quality. Conventional skin boosters place hyaluronic acid into the skin to support hydration. Profhilo uses a different hyaluronic acid formulation and treatment approach.
All three can sit within the broad category of skin-quality injectables, but they are not interchangeable. We would rather match the treatment to the problem than sell whichever name happens to have the most industry buzz.

Is Profhilo the same as a skin booster?
They overlap in their focus on skin quality and hydration, but they use different formulations and injection approaches. The best choice depends on the concern being treated.

At Renovo, one treatment is £190 and two treatments are £360.
