Skin Boosters vs Profhilo: Which Treatment Is Best?
If your skin is feeling dull, dehydrated or a little less firm than it used to be, you’re not alone – and you’re not without options. Two of the most popular treatments at The Aesthetics Doctor for boosting deep hydration, improving elasticity, and smoothing fine lines are Skin Boosters and Profhilo. These injectable treatments are designed to deliver serious skin rejuvenation treatments – but what sets them apart?
Let’s break it down so you can choose the right glow-up for your skin type and goals.
What Are Injectable Skin Hydration Treatments?
What Are Skin Boosters?
Think of Skin Boosters as a long drink of water for dry skin. These injectable skin boosters deliver hyaluronic acid injections directly into the skin tissue to deeply hydrate, plump, and improve skin texture – without changing facial skin volume.
They’re ideal for:
-Improving skin elasticity and hydration levels
-Tackling crepey skin, fine lines, and dull skin
-Creating a smoother, dewy complexion and radiant skin
-Restoring balance to areas like the face, neck, décolletage and hands
Hyaluronic Acid Skin Booster treatments are often referred to as injectable moisturisers or hydrating products, but unlike dermal fillers, they don’t add volume – they simply enhance the skin’s natural glow and firmness by locking in water loss and supporting the protective barrier.
What Is Profhilo?
Profhilo is what we call a bio-remodelling injectable – an advanced aesthetic treatment made from a highly stabilised concentration of hyaluronic acid. But it doesn’t stop at hydration. Profhilo works on a cellular level to trigger collagen stimulation, boost elastin, and firm skin from within.
It’s especially effective for:
- Mild to moderate skin laxity
-Fine lines and loss of volume
-Achieving a naturally lifted, youthful glow
-Restoring vibrancy and smoother skin in the face, neck, or hands
Unlike Skin Boosters, Profhilo spreads beneath the skin using the Bio Aesthetic Points (BAP) technique, delivering regenerative processes that support long-term healthy skin. You can also explore Profhilo Body for larger treatment areas with similar improvement in skin laxity and skin firmness.
Skin Boosters vs Profhilo: What’s the Difference?
Here’s how they compare:
Hydration Power: Skin Boosters offer targeted treatment for surface-level deep hydration, while Profhilo delivers hydration and skin tightening from within.
Mechanism: Skin Boosters focus on surface-level hydrated skin and work as effective treatments for individual skin concerns. Profhilo boosts the types of collagen production and improves skin condition.
Treatment Style: Skin Boosters use micro-droplets for coverage. Profhilo follows the BAP technique to remodel deeper skin tissue.
Why We Love Skin Boosters
When it comes to refreshing and revitalising tired, lacklustre skin, skin boosters are one of the most effective treatments we offer. These subtle yet powerful injectables are designed to hydrate from within and enhance your natural skin quality without altering your facial features.
Delivers long-lasting hydration to improve skin texture and tone
Smooths fine lines and softens crepey skin
Enhances skin density, bounce, and glow
Works beautifully for sensitive skin, combination skin, and irritated skin
A go-to for patients wanting that “just-had-a-facial” glow without downtime
Some of our most requested skin booster treatments include Restylane Skinboosters and Redensity 1, both packed with fatty acids and active ingredients that help keep your skin healthy and firm.
Why Profhilo Is Different
• Stimulates your own collagen and elastin production

• Ideal for tackling loss of skin elasticity
• Works brilliantly as a treatment for dull skin and early ageing
• Offers a natural, subtle anti-ageing effect with minimal downtime
Who Is It For?
Dehydrated skin? Go for Skin Boosters to quench and refresh.
Skin laxity or fine lines? Profhilo is your lifting and firming hero.
Can’t decide? A combination approach often delivers noticeable improvements, supporting both hydration and structure.
How Long Do Results Last?
• Skin Boosters: Around 6–9 months depending on the product, skincare routine, and metabolism.
• Profhilo: Around 6–12 months, especially when maintained with regular treatment sessions.
Clinical studies (such as Palm et al., 2019) confirm that hyaluronic acid-based treatments like Profhilo and Skin Boosters significantly improve skin quality, elasticity, and moisture retention — holding up to 1,000 times their weight in water.
What About Side Effects?
Both are safe, non-invasive options with minimal downtime. You may experience:
• Mild swelling or redness at injection sites
• Minor bruising or skin irritation
• Rare allergic reactions, which are temporary and manageable
We always start with a full medical history review and apply numbing cream or topical anaesthetic to keep you comfortable throughout your aesthetic treatments.
