Profhilo in Braintree.

Me, every time. I am Bernadette Tobin, an independent nurse practitioner and a registered general nurse for over twenty years (NMC PIN 05G1755E, which you can check on the public NMC register). My career has taken me through acute medical wards, community nursing and advanced clinical practice, and I hold an MSc in Advanced Practice (Level 7), the master's level the NHS sets for advanced clinical practice. Nobody else injects at the clinic.

Best Non-Surgical Aesthetics Clinic 2026, Essex, from the Health, Beauty & Wellness Awards. The winner listing is public on the awards' own site, and the full details are on our award page. I also founded Aesthetics Unlocked, the education platform for UK aesthetic practitioners, and was nominated for Educator of the Year 2026 at the Beauty & Aesthetics Awards.

No. I deliberately designed the clinic this way. We sit back from Friars Lane, behind electric gates, with private parking entirely out of view from the road — your car can't be seen from the street. There is no signage on the building, no shopfront, no waiting room window. You walk straight through a discreet entrance, the door closes behind you, and you are the only client in the clinic. Many of my clients tell me Visage is the most private clinic they have ever used. That is by design, not by accident.

No, and the distinction matters. Filler adds volume in a specific area (lips, cheeks). Profhilo spreads through the skin and stimulates the body to produce its own collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid. The result is hydration and texture improvement across the whole treated area, never a volume change. Many of our Braintree clients have both, they do completely different jobs.

A single session is £240. The recommended course of two sessions (four weeks apart) is £450. See the full pricing page for all treatments.

Most clients begin to see a soft glow at 2-3 weeks, with the biggest visible change around 8 weeks. Profhilo improves gradually rather than dramatically, that is the appeal.

A course of two sessions typically gives 6 to 9 months of visible benefit before maintenance is suggested. Many clients return every six months.

Minimal. There can be small bumps at the five injection points on each side for 12-24 hours which settle quickly. Most clients return to work the same day.

Yes, Profhilo Body is licensed for use on the upper arms, neck, décolletage and abdomen. Particularly effective for the crepey skin sometimes seen on the inner upper arm. Ask at consultation.
