Profhilo lasts about 6 months. That’s the short answer. The longer one is worth knowing before you book, because Profhilo doesn’t work the way most people expect.
When you’ll see it
Profhilo is two sessions, 4 weeks apart, and you need both for the full result.
- After session one: don’t expect a visible difference. Some people feel more hydrated, or find their make-up sits better.
- About one to two weeks after session two: this is when the result shows, once the product has settled under the skin. Skin can look dewy, glowing and hydrated.
I say this to everyone, because I never want you to leave your first session wondering whether it has worked. It’s doing its job. It just needs the second session.
How long it lasts
About 6 months. After that, most people top up about every 6 months: two sessions a month apart, then the next pair about 6 months later.
How long yours lasts depends on your skin, your age and your lifestyle. If your skin is very dry or dehydrated, or you smoke, you may need a third session, or to top up a little more often. I’ll tell you honestly what I think you need.
The best time of year
There’s no wrong time, but I find people tend to come at the same points in the year:
- Autumn, for glowing skin through the party season.
- January, when skin has been dried out by the cold outside and the heating inside.
- Spring, to get skin ready for summer, and again after a summer in the sun.
Planning around an event
Because the result shows after the second session, allow at least 6 weeks before anything important. That gives you both sessions, time for the result to come through and time for any small bumps or a bruise to settle.
What it costs
Profhilo is £250 a session, and your £30 consultation comes off your treatment. You can see all my prices on my Profhilo and skin boosters page.

Your questions
Can I have just one session of Profhilo?
You can, but you won’t get the full result. One session on its own isn’t what the treatment was designed for, so I always plan it as two.
What happens if I stop having it?
Nothing dramatic. The effect fades gradually and your skin goes back to how it would have been. There’s no obligation to keep going.
Can I have Profhilo on my neck?
Yes. Profhilo is used on the face and the neck.
