Profhilo® is an injectable rejuvenation treatment and, unlike dermal fillers, it is not designed to add volume to your skin or restrict movement in your facial muscles. Instead, this anti-ageing hydration treatment contains high levels of hyaluronic acid (HA), a naturally occurring compound that helps to improve the skin’s tone, texture and elasticity. You can book in for a treatment at our combined beauty clinic and weight-loss clinic, located in West Wickham.
We have a team of skin specialists led by Kerryanne, herself a qualified and experience practitioner. Our clinic welcomes clients from all locations in the Greater London area, such as Beckenham, Hayes and Shirley to name a few.
Read on to learn more about this innovative skin treatment.
Who is Profhilo® for?
As we age, the presence of hyaluronic acid in the skin naturally starts to drop, which causes the skin to lose its natural firmness and elasticity. Most people begin to see the effects of hyaluronic acid depletion as they reach their 30s, and Profhilo® is the perfect treatment for anyone looking to counteract this.
Where can Profhilo® be used?
Profhilo® is administered into the skin in five key areas (when administered to the face); the tops of cheeks, side of the face, lines around the mouth and the nasolabial folds and the laughter lines. It can also be used to improve the appearance of the skin around the neck, the chest and the décolletage.
Your Profhilo® consultation and what to expect
Your Profhilo® consultation will be with a prescriber who can assess the needs of the client, and their suitability for the most appropriate form of treatment at our clinic. During a consultation, the prescriber answers any questions you might have about your skin concerns and will give you personalised advice.
If the decision is taken to proceed with a treatment, the prescriber will carry out this treatment at our popular beauty clinic in West Wickham. You will be assigned a dedicated skin specialist for the duration of your appointment.
All clinics are monitored by the Care Quality Commission and the equivalent in Scotland (HIS) and Wales (HIW) for your own safety and peace of mind.
What is a polynucleotides treatment?
Polynucleotides are a new concept in regenerative medicine, which help to promote cell turnover and improve the skin’s elasticity and its hydration, heal sun-damaged skin, and improve photoaging and acne scarring. The result is a more nourished, healthy and revitalised complexion you will appreciate.
How do polynucleotide injections work?
Polynucleotides (natural DNA fractions) attract water molecules, which work to improve skin hydration. They also utilise an anti-free radical action, acting as a scavenger of OH hydroxyl radicals which tend to accumulate as a result of stress, cell damage or external agents such as exposure to UV rays.
Once filtered and purified, DNA fractions initiate the body’s natural fibroblast production, resulting in increased collagen and a thicker, healthier epidermis.
How are Polynucleotide injections used?
We can treat the face, neck, décolleté or eye area specifically. We can also target other areas of the body which have been affected by ageing.
These include the abdomen, arms and knees.
Initial treatments consist of three sessions, two weeks apart, followed by extra treatments every six months so that the client can enjoy optimum results.
What is Sculptra?
Sculptra® is a type of dermal filler and a cosmetic procedure used to smooth out fine lines and deep wrinkles in the skin, and especially in the face.
Sculptra is a gel-like substance made of poly-L-lactic acid.
A skin specialist will inject this filler underneath the skin where you want a fuller or smoother appearance. Poly-L-lactic acid is a collagen stimulator that can absorb into your body a few days after treatment to encourage your cells to produce more collagen. Collagen is a protein that is found in the skin, as well as in your connective tissues, your bones and your body’s cartilage.
Collagen provides the body with structure, support and strength.
Our combined beauty clinic and weight-loss clinic in West Wickham will use a Sculptra treatment to fulfil the aesthetic needs of clients from all areas across Greater London. Beckenham, Hayes and Shirley are all key service locations.
Where is Sculptra injected?
You might get Sculptra injected into areas of your body where you have lines and wrinkles that you want our skin specialists to smoothen out.
The most common areas of Sculptra injections include:
How long does Sculptra last?
Dermal fillers like Sculptra can last more than two years. A Sculptra treatment is not designed to be a permanent solution for deep wrinkles. You may need multiple injections every few years to maintain the expected results.
Who might choose to get Sculptra?

Restylane skin boosters will make you feel great about your skin again with a radiance and smoothness that you will see, feel and value.
After a few treatments, as advised by your skin specialist, you will find that the skin becomes smoother, more radiant and more elastic. The skin of your face, hands, neck and décolletage can be improved, and the results can make a world of difference to the way our clients feel about their skin.
Restylane skin boosters have been used by aesthetic physicians for over 12 years. More than 3.5 million treatments have been performed in this time.
Injections are usually administered over the course of 2 to 3 sessions, some 2 to 4 weeks apart, to restore the skin’s elasticity and smoothness in a gradual way. Regular maintenance sessions (approximately every 6 months) occur as planned with your skin specialist ensuring the most visible and lasting results.
Clinical studies prove the lasting impact of skin boosters. Improvements show in the elasticity of the face and the hands up to 12 months after treatment. We advise that new clients from Beckenham, Hayes, Shirley and the Greater London area call our beauty clinic in West Wickham today to find out more about skin boosters and our professional range of medical-grade treatments.
Our services also include hydrafacial and Lemon Bottle treatments.
