Profhilo® Skin Booster
What is Profhilo® and how does it work?
Profhilo® is an injectable skin treatment designed to deeply hydrate, firm, and lift the skin while improving overall skin quality. Unlike traditional dermal fillers, it doesn’t add volume but instead spreads evenly under the skin, stimulating collagen and elastin production for a firmer, more radiant complexion.
It contains one of the highest concentrations of hyaluronic acid available, helping to boost moisture and improve skin texture. Profhilo® is often used on the face, neck, hands, and other areas to enhance hydration and reduce signs of aging.
What are the benefits of Profhilo®?
- Deep hydration With one of the highest concentrations of hyaluronic acid, Profhilo® intensely hydrates the skin, improving moisture retention.
- Skin firming & lifting It stimulates collagen and elastin production, leading to firmer, more lifted skin.
- Improved elasticity & texture Profhilo® enhances skin elasticity, making it smoother and more supple.
- Reduction of fine lines & wrinkles By boosting hydration and collagen, it helps soften fine lines and wrinkles.
- Natural-looking results Unlike traditional fillers, Profhilo® spreads evenly under the skin, creating a refreshed, natural appearance.
- Minimal downtime The treatment is quick, with little to no recovery time required.
- Versatile Treatment Areas Profhilo® can be used on the face, neck, hands, and other areas to improve skin quality.

The results have been amazing
I’ve had both needling and peel treatments with Claire and the results have been amazing. She explained every step clearly, answered all my (many!) questions, and made sure I felt completely comfortable throughout the process.

Stunning wahine who takes the time to really understand her clients
Stunning wahine who takes the time to really understand her clients and their appearance goals. She is also quite conservative/holistic in her approach but in the best of ways; basically working with anatomy to make it the best it can be per the clients goals instead of upselling services which aren’t of benefit to the client. Amazing work! Will see you again in another month or so for a repeat <3

Has her client’s best interests at heart
There is no other injector I would recommend to anyone more than Claire ! Not only is she exceptionally skilled in every aspect you would look for when receiving these kind of treatments, she is ethical, warm and welcoming and has her client’s best interests at heart. Looking forward to seeing Sass Skin continue to grow and supporting Claire <3

Great prices, great service, and great results
I've been going to Claire for close to a year now - for tox and filler. Loving the results! Claire takes the time to listen and give you her honest advice around the best way to tackle your concerns.
