Profhilo in Spring: The Injectable Treatment for Radiant, Hydrated Skin in Hillsborough Near Belfast
As we move from winter into spring, many people notice that their skin looks dull, dehydrated and less firm. Colder weather, indoor heating and reduced sunlight can leave the skin thinner, crepey and lacking luminosity.
Profhilo is an injectable treatment designed to restore hydration, improve elasticity and stimulate collagen and elastin production — making it one of the most effective ways to refresh skin naturally before the summer months.
Dr Janice Brown Aesthetics & Skin provides Profhilo in Royal Hillsborough near Belfast, Northern Ireland, in a dentist-led, JCCP-registered medical aesthetic clinic with an MSc in Aesthetic Medicine and over 15 years of clinical experience.

- Improve skin firmness before summer
- Achieve results with minimal downtime

This makes it the perfect treatment for patients preparing for weddings, holidays and brighter skin seasons.
What Is Profhilo and How Does It Work?
Profhilo is a stabilised hyaluronic acid injectable that spreads beneath the skin to deeply hydrate and stimulate tissue remodelling. Unlike dermal fillers, it does not change facial shape or create volume — it improves the quality of the skin itself.
It works by attracting water into the deeper layers of the skin while stimulating collagen and elastin, leading to firmer, smoother and more luminous skin over time.
Who Is Profhilo Suitable For?
- Dull or dehydrated skin
- Crepey texture
- Loss of firmness
- Fine lines
- Patients wanting natural, undetectable results

Profhilo vs Dermal Filler

- Dermal filler restores volume and structure
- Profhilo spreads beneath the skin for overall rejuvenation
- Results are subtle and natural
Profhilo vs Polynucleotides and Sculptra
Profhilo improves hydration and skin elasticity through bio-remodelling.
Polynucleotides focus on tissue repair, skin regeneration and improving delicate areas such as the under-eye.
Sculptra stimulates deeper collagen production to restore structural support and address volume loss.
The most appropriate treatment depends on whether the primary concern is hydration, skin repair or structural collagen loss.
Can Profhilo Go Wrong?
Profhilo is a medically regulated injectable treatment and should always be performed by a trained healthcare professional. When delivered using the correct technique and appropriate patient selection, it has a strong safety profile.
Common short-term effects include small injection-site swelling, tenderness or bruising, which usually settle within 24–48 hours.
A comprehensive consultation ensures the treatment is suitable for your skin and forms part of a personalised long-term plan.
Profhilo as Part of a Regenerative Skin Strategy
For optimal results, Profhilo is often combined with treatments that improve skin health and collagen stimulation such as PRP, Tixel skin rejuvenation and medical-grade skincare.
This regenerative approach focuses on long-term skin quality rather than short-term correction.
