Skin improvement with Profhilo and Skinbooster

In the world of cosmetic treatments, there are several treatments to restore the youthfulness and vitality of the skin. Two of the most popular treatments are Profhilo and Skinbooster. Although they are both aimed at skin improvement, there are some important differences between these two treatments. In this blog we would like to tell you more about the difference between Profhilo and Skinbooster, so that you can make an informed decision when choosing the right treatment for your skin. Our specialists will also give you appropriate advice during a free, no-obligation consultation.

Profhilo and Skinbooster – what is the difference?

Profilo is a hyaluronic acid that has been made firmer and more effective through heating. As a result, it attracts moisture after injection and makes the skin more hydrated and better supplied with blood. In addition, Profhilo drives production of the skin's own collagen, making the skin firmer and tighter and preventing sagging. These effects are not seen immediately, Profhilo needs time to take effect and the first effects are often visible after a few weeks.

Profhilo is ideally suited for people experiencing the onset of facial sagging and lacking some firmness in the skin. Dry lines and reduced elasticity are also a good indication to undergo Profhilo treatment.

The treatment itself consists of a few injections in the face. Prior to the injections, the doctor will determine the specific injection points on you to achieve the optimal result. The injections are not usually perceived as painful and the treatment itself does not take long, making Profhilo a good fit for a busy life. Small bruises may appear, but these often subside within each day. Profhilo is most effective when given in a course of three treatments, with four weeks between treatments each time.

Clients speak of firmer skin with more glow and deeper hydration after treatment with Profhilo.

 Skinbooster

Restylane Skinbooster is also a drug composed of hyaluronic acid. Through a process called crosslinking, this hyaluronic acid is made firmer and more potent. Hydration and moisture retention is the main property of this product, which provides a subtle glow. The effect is not seen immediately after treatment, but becomes visible after a few weeks.

Skinbooster is great for young people who would like smoother, more hydrated skin, while also getting rid of incipient fine lines on the face.

The treatment is carried out by several small injections over the face, the injection points of which are marked off in advance by the doctor. The injections are generally not perceived as painful and it is a relatively short treatment, which is not stressful. Small bruises may also occur with this treatment, but these often disappear within a few days.

Restylane Skinbooster is most effective when a course of three treatments is undergone. There should then be 4 weeks between treatments.

Clients treated with Skinbooster often describe a subtle, beautiful glow and better hydrated skin.

What others say...

We recently treated 25-year-old Sandra with Profhilo and she was keen to share her experience with us by answering some questions.

Wat was de reden dat je een consult had aangevraagd bij SkinSurgery?

I am now at an age where I start thinking about the future of my skin and investing in it. I didn't want any violent changes but of course beautiful, radiant and full skin seemed like something I wanted.

Had you undergone treatments before?

I do not otherwise use botox or fillers, but do undergo monthly Hydrafacial facials. Also at Skin+Surgery Clinics. That too has improved my skin.

Wat heeft je doen besluiten de Profhilo behandeling te ondergaan?

As I started to see the first signs of skin ageing, I was keen to boost my collagen production. This is exactly what Profhilo promises and it also gives you a beautiful glow, exactly what I want!

What was your experience during the treatment? 

I was excited about getting multiple punctures in my face, but the doctor put me very at ease. It was nice that she listened carefully to my personal wishes and really looked at my face. The treatment was not painful, although one side of my face was a bit more sensitive than the other. All in all, I found it not too bad, it doesn't take long and is easy to stick with.

How did you feel after the treatment? And in the days that followed?

I was afraid I would turn very blue but fortunately that was not the case, which I was very happy about. Immediately after the treatment, I felt some bumps, but on the doctor's advice, I massaged them lightly and they gradually subsided.

What do you think of the preliminary result? What do you expect to see further?

I definitely see a difference. My skin is plumper and more radiant, I also seem less tired. I expect to look even fresher after my next treatment!

What would you tell others about the treatment? Would you recommend it to people?

That there is nothing to be afraid of, the treatment is really not painful. I would definitely recommend it to people!

Hoe was je ervaring bij SkinSurgery Clinics?

You receive a very friendly welcome and guidance, you are really listened to and they genuinely want to achieve the best result. All in all, a very good experience that I would definitely recommend.
