Redensity 1 vs Profhilo
Two leading skin boosters — multi-ingredient hydration vs HA bio-remodelling
Book ConsultationWhich is better: Redensity 1 or Profhilo?
Short answer: If your main concern is dullness, dehydration and overall skin quality, Redensity 1 by Teoxane tends to suit better — it combines hyaluronic acid with amino acids, vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. If your main concern is early skin laxity, crepiness or loss of bounce on face or neck, Profhilo is usually the better choice — it uses high-concentration stabilised hyaluronic acid for collagen and elastin bio-remodelling. Many patients combine both. Outcomes vary and are confirmed at consultation.
Redensity 1 and Profhilo are both injectable skin boosters, but they take fundamentally different approaches to skin quality improvement. Redensity 1 is a Teoxane product that combines hyaluronic acid with eight amino acids, vitamins, minerals and antioxidants for a multi-ingredient hydration and skin-quality approach. Profhilo uses a high concentration of stabilised hyaluronic acid for bio-remodelling. ("Baby Glow" is a marketing term used in the industry for Redensity 1 protocols — it refers to the same product, not a different treatment, and is not a guaranteed outcome.) Understanding the difference helps you and your clinician choose the right treatment — or combination — for your skin.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I have both Redensity 1 and Profhilo?
Yes. Many patients benefit from combining both treatments — Redensity 1 for nourishment and radiance, and Profhilo for bio-remodelling and structural skin quality. Your clinician will advise on timing and sequence during consultation.
What is the main difference between Redensity 1 and Profhilo?
Redensity 1 is a multi-ingredient skin booster combining hyaluronic acid with amino acids, vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. Profhilo uses high-concentration stabilised hyaluronic acid for bio-remodelling. Redensity 1 focuses on nourishment and radiance; Profhilo focuses on collagen and elastin stimulation for skin laxity.
Which treatment shows results faster?
Redensity 1 often shows initial radiance and hydration improvements within the first week or two. Profhilo results typically become visible 2–4 weeks after the second session. Both treatments deliver gradual improvement over a course rather than instant visual change.
Which is better for the neck?
Both can treat the neck effectively. Profhilo is well established for the neck and uses a specific injection pattern. Redensity 1 with the new 3ml package allows comprehensive neck treatment in a single session, often combined with the face and décolletage. Your clinician will recommend the best option based on your skin condition.
How do I know which is right for me?
Suitability is assessed during a doctor-led consultation. Dr Langdon evaluates your skin quality, hydration, elasticity and goals before recommending the most appropriate treatment — or combination of treatments — for your individual needs.
How much does each treatment cost?
Pricing depends on the number of sessions, the volume used and any combined treatments, and is confirmed at consultation. See our full price list for current guide pricing across all skin boosters.
Which treatment lasts longer?
Both treatments typically last around 6 months following a full course. Maintenance sessions every 6–12 months are recommended for both. Longevity varies by skin condition, lifestyle (smoking, sun exposure, sleep) and how well the initial protocol is completed.
Who is not suitable for Redensity 1 or Profhilo?
Neither treatment is recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding, with active skin infection in the treatment area, with known hypersensitivity to hyaluronic acid, or where another active dermatological condition needs treatment first. Both rely on your suitability being confirmed at a face-to-face medical consultation.
