How Long Does Profhilo Last

If you are looking to get Profhilo, there’s a question you must have asked yourself – how long does Profhilo last? If you are either a newbie or need a top-up, having an idea of what impacts the longevity of the treatment will help you make the most of it.

In this blog, we’ll cover how long Profhilo results typically last, what factors influence it, and simple ways to help the effects stay visible for longer.

So, How Long Does Profhilo Last?

Profhilo effects typically last anywhere from 6 to 9 months. That said, this is not true for all. Some individuals start to feel a soft fade within 4 to 6 months, while others find they get to enjoy the effects for even a whole year, particularly with a healthy way of life.

You’ll usually see the full results around four weeks after your second treatment, as your skin starts to produce more collagen and elastin – the two key proteins responsible for firmness and bounce.

What Affects How Long Profhilo Lasts?

Though Profhilo works beneath the surface to hydrate and renew, its staying power depends on a few personal and lifestyle factors:

Skin Type and Age

Younger individuals or those with healthy skin tend to have longer-lasting effects. Conversely, extremely mature or highly dehydrated skin can metabolise the product faster.

Lifestyle Choices

Smoking, heavy drinking, and unprotected sun exposure all speed up skin ageing. They can also decrease the duration of Profhilo’s noticeable effects.

Hydration

Hyaluronic acid — Profhilo’s active ingredient — is most effective if your skin is properly hydrated. The more hydrated you stay, the more moisture it can lock in.

Skin Care Routine

The correct skin care products can make or break the effects. Over-exfoliation, harsh acids, or not wearing SPF will compromise your skin barrier and sabotage your results.

Metabolism

Everyone’s metabolism is unique. If your body metabolises products rapidly, the effects may weaken a little earlier.

Is Profhilo worth it? Yes, the skin boosters are worth it if you want to minimise the signs of ageing and look fresher than ever.

How to Make Profhilo Last Longer: 10 Easy Tips

Would you like your effects to last longer than average? Here’s how:

Remain Well Hydrated

Have at least 6–8 glasses of water per day. This keeps the skin hydrated and in a healthy state and allows Profhilo to work optimally.

Apply SPF Daily

Sunlight degrades collagen and accelerates skin ageing. Use a broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher every day, including in UK winters.

Don’t Smoke

Smoking constricts blood vessels, delays healing, and robs your skin of oxygen — all of which can shorten Profhilo’s benefits.

Cut Back on Alcohol

Alcohol dries out the skin and promotes inflammation, which will make your results wear off more quickly.

Eat Antioxidant-Rich Foods

Berries, nuts, leafy greens and oily fish protect your skin from harm and maintain healthy collagen levels.

Gentle Skincare Routine

Don’t over-exfoliate or load up on multiple active ingredients all at once. A balanced regime featuring hydrating serums, a gentle cleanser and an everyday moisturiser will maintain your skin barrier.

Sleep on a Silk Pillowcase

This minimises friction, keeps you from pulling at your skin while sleeping, and slows down the visible ageing process. 

Minimise Stress

Extremely high stress levels can disturb your hormone balances and create skin problems that erase your Profhilo benefits. Give yourself some time to relax, practice mindfulness, or indulge in some low-impact exercise.

Avoid Heat Treatments After Your Session

Avoid saunas, steam rooms, and high-intensity exercise for a minimum of 48 hours after treatment, as heat disrupts product settling.

Follow Your Maintenance Programme

Avoid waiting until the effect has fully worn off. A top-up at the 6-month point keeps your skin continuously radiant and moisturised.

Do You Need Top-Up Treatments?

Yes – Profhilo is not permanent. Most individuals enjoy top-up treatments for long-term results every 6 to 9 months. Some clinics advise a third booster session at 3 months if your skin is extremely dehydrated or mature.

Top-ups are easy, quick, and keep the skin plump and dewy. Most patients in the UK find that following a fixed treatment plan provides the most natural, long-term result.

Blepharoplasty

Blepharoplasty, also known as an eye lift, is a surgical procedure performed on the eyelids to improve their appearance. It can address concerns like:

  • Excess skin on the upper eyelids: This can obstruct vision and create a hooded appearance.

  • Bags under the lower eyelids: These can make you look tired or aged.

  • Drooping lower eyelids: This can also obstruct vision and contribute to a tired appearance.


Types of Blepharoplasty:

  • Upper blepharoplasty: This addresses concerns with the upper eyelids, removing excess skin and sometimes fat or muscle tissue.

  • Lower blepharoplasty: This addresses concerns with the lower eyelids, removing excess fat or skin and sometimes repositioning tissues.

  • Asian blepharoplasty: This addresses specific concerns related to the anatomy of Asian eyelids, creating a more defined crease.
