Profhilo vs polynucleotides
Profhilo is generally considered for broad skin hydration and bio-remodelling, while polynucleotides are considered for regenerative skin quality work, including delicate areas in suitable patients. The right choice depends on the concern, treatment area and clinical assessment.
Book a consultation| Consideration | Profhilo | Polynucleotides |
|---|---|---|
| Best for | Broad skin quality, hydration and mild laxity | Regeneration-focused skin quality, fine lines and delicate areas |
| Not suitable for | Patients needing structural volume replacement | Patients wanting immediate volume or tightening |
| Downtime | Usually minimal; temporary injection bumps can occur | Usually minimal; swelling or tenderness can occur |
| Sessions | Often planned as a short course, then maintenance | Often planned as a course with review |
| Cost considerations | Guide price confirmed on treatment page and at consultation | Guide price confirmed on treatment page and at consultation |
When we might recommend neither treatment
- Your medical history or current skin condition makes treatment unsafe.
- Your goals would be better served by delaying treatment, using skincare first, or seeking medical diagnosis.
- The expected improvement is unlikely to justify the risk, downtime or cost.
What to ask at consultation
- Which concern are we treating: skin quality, volume, laxity, texture or muscle activity?
- What are the realistic benefits and limitations for my anatomy or skin type?
- What are the main risks, downtime and aftercare requirements?
- How many sessions might be needed and when would we review progress?
