Skin rejuvenation treatments have become increasingly popular in the world of aesthetics, and for good reason. As we begin to move away from the idea that skincare is just about tackling lines and wrinkles, many people are now looking for treatments that restore glow, improve skin texture and simply make them feel fresher. Two treatments that are often discussed are microneedling and Profhilo — but while they both fall under the skin rejuvenation umbrella, they work in very different ways.
Microneedling, sometimes referred to as collagen induction therapy, uses tiny needles to create micro-injuries in the skin. This process encourages your body to naturally produce more collagen and elastin — the building blocks of youthful, resilient skin. Clients often choose microneedling to target acne scarring, fine lines, enlarged pores, dullness and uneven texture. It’s especially effective for improving skin over time and is typically performed as a course of treatments to achieve the best results. It’s not an instant fix, but a longer-term approach to healthier skin. You’ll usually start to see improvement within a few weeks, and results continue to build as your skin regenerates.
Profhilo is often described as a game-changer in injectable skincare. Unlike dermal fillers, which add volume or structure to specific areas, Profhilo is a pure hyaluronic acid treatment designed to hydrate the skin from within. It doesn’t change the shape of your face, but it does improve firmness, elasticity and overall skin quality. Once injected, Profhilo helps to stimulate collagen and elastin, the proteins that are crucial for maintaining skin structure (collagen provides structural support, while elastin allows skin to stretch and return to its original shape). Following Profhilo treatments, most clients notice that their skin feels more hydrated, smoother and generally more radiant.
So, which one is right for you? This is where a good consultation comes in. The truth is, both treatments are excellent, but your skin type, skin goals, age, and lifestyle will all influence which one makes the most sense, and during a pre-treatment consultation we can discuss which is most appropriate for you. Choosing between microneedling and Profhilo isn’t about picking the better treatment, it’s about understanding what your skin needs most. That’s why every client we see receives a thorough consultation to ensure their treatment plan is completely tailored, realistic and focused on long-term skin health.
