Profhilo is not a filler. That distinction is the single most important thing to understand about this treatment. Filler adds volume in a specific area; Profhilo spreads through the skin and stimulates the body to produce its own collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid. The result is hydration, glow and texture improvement, never volume change. It is made by IBSA, an Italian pharmaceutical company, and contains a high concentration of pure ultra-stabilised hyaluronic acid. The product is delivered using the BAP injection technique, five small points on each side of the face, placed in specific anatomical zones where the gel can spread evenly. Around 30 minutes per session. Most Braintree clients walk in on their lunch break and back out without any visible signs of having been there. The standard course is two sessions, four weeks apart. Results begin to appear at 2-3 weeks, with the biggest visible change around 8 weeks. A course typically gives 6-9 months of visible benefit before maintenance is recommended; many clients return every six months. Profhilo Body is the licensed extension for use on the upper arms (particularly effective for crepey skin on the inner upper arm), neck, décolletage and abdomen. Authentic Profhilo only at Visage, never relabelled, never repackaged, sourced direct from IBSA. The clinic was named Best Non-Surgical Aesthetics Clinic 2026, Essex (Health, Beauty & Wellness Awards) for exactly this kind of conservative, evidence-based work. I hold an MSc in Advanced Practice (Level 7), the highest postgraduate nursing qualification available, and have been performing Profhilo since shortly after its UK launch. The treatment is particularly suited to clients in their late 30s through to their 60s who feel their skin has lost its bounce, glow or smoothness, but who don't want or need volume change.
Which products a clinic buys is one of the clearest differences between one clinic and another, so I would rather you knew exactly what goes into your skin.
Made in Italy by IBSA, Profhilo carries one of the highest concentrations of hyaluronic acid on the market, 64mg in each 2ml syringe, with no chemical cross-linking agents. Its hybrid complex of high and low molecular weight hyaluronic acid spreads through the tissue rather than sitting in one place, hydrating the skin and prompting collagen and elastin. Given in five points on each side of the face, two sessions four weeks apart.

A free consultation to assess your skin quality, take a full medical history, photograph with consent, and confirm Profhilo is the right treatment for what you want to address. Avoid alcohol and blood-thinning supplements for 24 hours before to minimise bruising at the five injection points.
Skin is cleansed; numbing cream applied if you would like it (most clients do not feel it is needed). The BAP technique uses 5 small injection points on each side of the face, placed in specific anatomical zones for even spread. Total appointment time is around 30 minutes.
Small bumps at the five injection points on each side are normal for 12-24 hours and settle quickly. Most clients return to work the same day. Avoid the gym, sauna and hot yoga for 24 hours. Visible improvement begins at 2-3 weeks; a second session is scheduled at four weeks; full settle around 8 weeks after the second session.
Single session £180. Recommended course of two sessions (four weeks apart) £380. The fee includes the genuine IBSA Profhilo product. Profhilo Body (upper arms, neck, décolletage) priced separately at consultation. See /pricing for the full transparent table.

“Profhilo is the treatment I most often recommend to clients who arrive asking about filler when what they actually need is skin quality. It is gentler, more honest, and the results compound over time. Not glamorous, but quietly transformative.”
