If your skin’s been feeling a little “meh” lately, dull, dehydrated, or just not as bouncy as it used to be, you’ve probably come across the terms Profhilo and Skin Boosters.
Both are popular injectable treatments that promise hydration, glow, and a subtle lift…
But what’s the difference between them?
Which one gives better results?
And which is actually right for your skin?
Let’s break it down.
First, What Do They Have in Common?
Let’s start with why people confuse them in the first place:
- Both are injectable treatments, not creams, not fillers.
- Both hydrate the skin from within using hyaluronic acid (HA).
- Both are designed to improve skin quality, not change your facial structure.
- Both have minimal downtime, subtle results, and are suitable for many skin types.
But beyond that? They’re actually quite different in how they work and what they’re best for.
What Is Profhilo?
Think of Profhilo as a deep, structural skin hydrator that also stimulates collagen and elastin. It contains one of the highest concentrations of hyaluronic acid on the market but it’s not there to “fill” anything.
Instead, it spreads evenly under the skin, acting like a bio-remodelling agent.
Best for:
- Loose or crepey skin
- Sagging around cheeks, jawline, or neck
- Skin that’s lost its bounce or elasticity
- Ageing skin that needs a reboot
It works by triggering your skin’s own repair process, improving firmness, hydration, and smoothness from within. Results build gradually over a few weeks and last around 6 – 9 months.
What Are Skin Boosters?
Now, Skin Boosters are more like a hydration top-up for your skin.
They work a little closer to the surface, delivering micro-injections of hyaluronic acid (sometimes mixed with vitamins or antioxidants) to deeply moisturise the skin and boost radiance.
Best for:
- Dull, dehydrated skin
- Fine lines and rough texture
- Tired or sun-damaged complexions
- Younger skin that just needs a glow boost
Skin Boosters improve texture, glow, and hydration, but don’t stimulate collagen to the same extent as Profhilo. They’re also a bit more versatile, great for the face, neck, décolletage, and even hands.
Profhilo vs Skin Boosters: Key Differences
| Profhilo | Skin Boosters | |
| Purpose | Collagen stimulation, firmness, hydration | Hydration, glow, texture |
| How it works | Bio-remodelling with slow-release HA | Micro-injections of HA (sometimes with vitamins) |
| Best for | Sagging or ageing skin | Dull, dry or tired skin |
| Results | Gradual firming & lifting | Hydrated, glowing skin |
| Longevity | 6–9 months | 4–6 months (often done in courses) |
| Treatment Areas | Face, neck | Face, neck, chest, hands |
| Downtime | Minimal (small bumps for 24hrs) | Minimal (pinprick marks) |
So… Which One Should You Choose?
Here’s how we usually guide patients at Treeline Aesthetics:
If your skin feels tired and dry, but looks okay, Skin Boosters are a great entry point.
If your skin has lost firmness and volume, go for Profhilo for deeper structural improvement.
If you want both hydration and lifting, many people choose to combine the two as part of a treatment plan.
