Berkshire Aesthetics is a doctor-led, CQC-registered aesthetic clinic in Maidenhead. All treatments begin with a consultation to assess suitability, medical history, risks and realistic outcomes.
Can Profhilo go wrong?
Profhilo is commonly used as an injectable skin-quality treatment, but it can still go wrong if the patient is unsuitable, injection technique is poor, aftercare is ignored or expectations are unrealistic. Possible issues include swelling, bruising, tenderness, lumps, infection or dissatisfaction with the degree of improvement. A consultation-led approach helps decide whether Profhilo is appropriate for you.

Is Profhilo the same as filler?
No. Profhilo is used for skin quality and bio-remodelling rather than targeted volume replacement. Suitability depends on the concern being treated.
