Profhilo vs Skin Boosters: Which Treatment Is Best for Hydration & Anti-Ageing in 2025?

Skin boosters have become one of the fastest-growing non-surgical aesthetic treatments in the UK, with thousands of patients searching every month for ways to improve hydration, glow and skin quality without altering their natural facial structure. Among these treatments, Profhilo remains one of the most in-demand, but newer skin boosters are emerging leading many patients to ask:

“Is Profhilo still the best option, or are other skin boosters better in 2025?”

In this guide, we compare Profhilo with other leading skin boosters so you can confidently choose the right treatment for your needs.

What Is Profhilo?

Profhilo is an injectable skin remodelling treatment made of 100% pure hyaluronic acid (HA) using patented NAHYCO® hybrid technology. Unlike fillers, Profhilo doesn’t add noticeable volume. Instead, it spreads beneath the skin to stimulate:

• Collagen

• Elastin

• Hydration

• Skin firmness

Most clinics (including Aesthetics Doctor) use the standard protocol of:

Two sessions spaced 4 weeks apart.

What Profhilo is best for:

✓ Dry, dull, or crepey skin

✓ Fine lines and early signs of ageing

✓ Skin laxity around the lower face, cheeks, neck, or hands

✓ Restoring glow and firmness

Typical results:

• Very natural improvement

• Hydrated, luminous skin

• Tighter + smoother texture

• Gradual improvement over 6–12 weeks

What Are Skin Boosters?

“Skin boosters” is a broad category that includes injectable treatments designed to improve hydration, elasticity, and skin texture. They usually contain:

• Hyaluronic acid

• Amino acids

• Peptides

• Vitamins

• Antioxidants

• Or biostimulating compounds

Popular examples include:

• Profhilo (bioremodelling)

• Sunekos (HA + amino acids)

• Jalupro

• Revive

• Redensity 1

• Restylane Skinboosters

Each works slightly differently depending on the formula and injection technique.

1. Profhilo vs Sunekos

Profhilo:

• 100% HA hybrid complex

• Strong biostimulation

• Best for laxity + crepey skin

• Fewer injection points

Sunekos:

• HA plus six amino acids

• Very good for thin, fragile skin

• Excellent under the eyes

• More sessions needed (usually 3–4)

Best for:

• Profhilo → overall face rejuvenation

• Sunekos → under-eyes, fine wrinkles, early ageing, delicate areas

2. Profhilo vs Traditional Skin Boosters (e.g., Restylane Vital)

Traditional skin boosters contain cross-linked HA and work primarily by hydrating the skin.

Profhilo works by both:

• deeply hydrating and

• stimulating collagen + elastin

Best for:

• Profhilo → laxity + glow

• Restylane Vital → deep hydration, early-ageing skin

3. Profhilo vs Redensity 1 (Teoxane)

Redensity 1 contains:

• HA

• Antioxidants

• Amino acids

• Vitamins

• Minerals

It is ideal for radiance and pigment irregularities, especially around:

• The face

• Neck

• Décolletage

Profhilo is better for:

• Soft lifting

• Crepey or thin skin

• Sagging or mild jowls

Which Treatment Gives the Most “Glow”?

Most patients report:

• Profhilo for firmness + lift

• Sunekos or Redensity 1 for radiance + hydration

Which Treatment Is Best for Anti-Ageing in 2025?

Profhilo is best if you want:

• Improved laxity

• A soft tightening effect

• Firmer, more youthful skin

Sunekos/Jalupro/Redensity 1 are best if you want:

• Brighter, smoother skin

• Better texture

• Improvement in fine lines

• Treatment for delicate areas (eyes/neck)

For many patients, the best results come from combining treatments.

For example:

• Profhilo for skin laxity

• Sunekos or Redensity 1 for under-eyes or radiance

A personalised assessment often determines the optimal combination.

How Long Do Results Last?

This varies based on metabolism, lifestyle, and skin condition.

• Profhilo: 6–12 months

• Sunekos: 4–6 months

• Traditional skin boosters: 4–9 months

  
  

Maintenance every 6–9 months is recommended to keep results consistent.

Are There Any Side Effects?

Common, mild, and temporary:

• Pinpoint bumps where injected

• Redness or swelling

• Slight tenderness

These typically resolve within 24–48 hours.

Final Thoughts: Profhilo vs Skin Boosters in 2025

Skin boosters remain one of the most popular treatments because they deliver natural, healthy-looking improvements without changing your facial features.

Profhilo continues to rank as one of the top choices for patients seeking:

• Lift

• Firmness

• Hydration

• Better skin quality

However, Sunekos, Redensity 1, and other boosters offer excellent complementary or alternative solutions depending on your skin type and goals.

A professional consultation is the best way to determine which treatment will deliver your ideal result.
