Profhilo is an injectable skin-remodeling treatment with one of the highest concentrations of Hyaluronic Acid (HA), which is injected directly into the skin
Profhilo’s delayed release of HA encourages collagen and elastin production, which improves skin tone, moisture, and the appearance of fine lines. The effects are short and long term. As well as plumping and improving the appearance of wrinkles, the skin quality also improves for up to 6 months.
Profhilo is a hydrator rather than a filler, which means it draws and holds water. It is ideal for those with weary, dull-looking skin since it restores firmness and radiance.
Collagen and elastin production is enhanced during the next few weeks, resulting in tighter skin. It is beneficial since collagen, elastin, and Hyaluronic Acid levels in the skin begin to decline fast beyond the age of 30, resulting in symptoms of aging such as fine lines, wrinkles, and dull skin. Some of these alterations are reversed by Profhilo. Profhilo’s total effect is usually evident two months following the second treatment.
It is often said that dermal fillers are a temporary solution to the signs of aging. While this is true, they can offer significant improvements in appearance for those who opt for them.
One of the benefits of Manchester Profhilo over dermal fillers is that it does not augment, but instead encourages the production of collagen and elastin, which leads to a more natural-looking result. This is perfect for those who don’t want to go down the filler route.
While both Profhilo and standard dermal fillers contain hyaluronic acid, the main distinction between the two treatments is that Profhilo does not add volume or alter the facial structure. Dermal fillers provide a lifting and volumizing effect and are utilized to augment a specific area.
Treatment with hyaluronic acid is safe, but it does come with risks. Your dermatologist will go through all the risks and benefits during your consultation and before treatment.
This procedure does not require or allow for the use of an anesthetic. The injections sting for a short time, but most patients only experience minor discomfort. For the first 24-72 hours after the therapy, you may suffer some tenderness, and it will eventually subside.
Individual longevity varies; however, results are expected to last for roughly six months.
Profhilo is a treatment used to improve skin quality and treat skin laxity. It can be used practically everywhere to cure skin laxity and quality, with frequent indications including:
- Thin skin
- Sagging skin
- Loss of volume
- Dull complexion
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Improve skin texture
Like most skin treatments, not everyone is a good candidate for Profhilo.
The best candidates have realistic expectations and want to improve skin quality rather than just hide the signs of aging with volume-boosting treatments.
Generally, Profhilo treatment session is not advisable for the following:
- If you have a skin infection in or near the treatment region, or if you are ill in any manner
- If you’re on any anti-clotting medications, such as aspirin or warfarin.
- If you are presently taking or have recently finished a Roaccutane (acne treatment) course within the last 18 months.
- If you’re expecting a child or are breastfeeding.
Microneedling is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that involves using a device with tiny needles to create micro-injuries in the skin. These micro-injuries stimulate collagen production and improve skin texture and tone.
The level of discomfort during microneedling can vary depending on the individual and the treatment area. However, most patients report only mild discomfort during the procedure.
Downtime after microneedling is typically minimal. Patients may experience redness or mild swelling for a few days after the procedure but can typically resume normal activities right away.
Combining PRP and microneedling can result in even greater collagen production and skin rejuvenation. The microneedling creates tiny channels in the skin, which allows the PRP to penetrate deeper and stimulate collagen production more effectively.
The number of treatments needed for best results can vary depending on the individual and the treatment area. Our team will work with you to develop a personalised treatment plan that meets your specific needs and goals.
Yes, the combination of PRP and microneedling is a safe and effective treatment. Our team of professionals uses the latest techniques and equipment to provide safe, effective, and minimally invasive treatments that deliver real results.

Nothing a chiropractor do should hurt you and there should not be any pain during a chiropractic adjustment. Treatment procedures are chosen specifically for each patient, taking into consideration the patient’s comfort, condition and state of progress. Most of our patients love being adjusted and experience no pain at all. However, if you have a chronic complaint or if you are suffering from acute muscle spasms, you may experience non-persistent slight discomfort because structural changes are being introduced to parts of your body that have been fixed/stuck for a long time. Post-treatment soreness may be common in some as your body is adjusting to the change.
There is a misconception that you can no longer visit a chiropractor for care after you had a spinal surgery. In fact, specific chiropractic care may be beneficial for these people. In pre-surgery cases, early treatment can prevent serious invasive intervention, and if necessary, your chiropractor is trained to recognise conditions which need to be referred elsewhere. Chiropractic care is also extremely safe in post-surgery cases. Spinal surgery may cause improper alignment and extreme muscle stiffness that precise chiropractic care may be able to resolve. Recommendation will be given on a case by case basis during your consultation with our chiropractors.
