Profhilo: The Injectable Glow Treatment Everyone's Talking About

Profhilo

Rejuvenate your skin from within at Verse Medical Aesthetics, Guildford

If you've noticed your skin feeling dull, tired, or lacking firmness, Profhilo might just be the quiet miracle you've been looking for. It's the go-to treatment for patients who don't want volume or "frozen" expressions — just hydrated, radiant, bouncy skin.

What Is Profhilo?

Profhilo is a revolutionary injectable treatment composed of pure hyaluronic acid, a substance your skin naturally produces to remain plump and hydrated. Unlike fillers, it doesn't add volume or alter facial structure — instead, it works like a skin bio-remodeller, stimulating collagen and elastin production.

Think of it as an inside-out moisturiser: rather than sitting on the surface, Profhilo spreads beneath the skin, improving tone, elasticity, and hydration from within.

How Does Profhilo Work?

The treatment involves a series of small injections in key points of the face, neck, or hands. The product disperses evenly, creating an overall tightening and smoothing effect.

Profhilo utilises one of the highest concentrations of hyaluronic acid on the market, resulting in deep hydration and a visible glow — without heaviness or puffiness.

What Results Can You Expect?

Most people notice their skin feeling softer and more hydrated after the first treatment, with full results developing about four weeks after the second session.
You'll see:

• Fresher, dewier skin
  
  

• Improved firmness
  
  

• Reduction in fine lines and crepiness
  
  

• A naturally luminous glow
  

Results typically last six months, depending on skin type and lifestyle. Many patients repeat the treatment two or three times a year to maintain long-term results.

Profhilo vs Fillers: What's the Difference?

While both use hyaluronic acid, fillers are designed to sculpt and add structure, such as to the cheeks or lips.
Profhilo, on the other hand, spreads evenly and doesn't stay in place. Its goal is overall skin quality, not contouring. That's why it's ideal for people who want visible improvement in texture and radiance, but not "volume."

Where Can Profhilo Be Used?

Common treatment areas include:

• Face
  
  

• Neck
  
  

• Décolletage
  
  

• Hands
  
  

• Upper arms and abdomen (for skin laxity)
  

How Many Treatments Do You Need?

A comprehensive course typically consists of two sessions, spaced four weeks apart, followed by maintenance sessions every six months. The process is quick, taking about 15 minutes, with minimal downtime. You may notice small bumps at the injection points for a few hours, but they typically settle quickly.

Who Is Profhilo Suitable For?

Profhilo works beautifully for anyone noticing early signs of ageing — fine lines, dehydration, or dullness — or for those who simply want a fresher complexion.
It's suitable for both men and women, typically from the late 20s onwards, and can be combined with other skin treatments, such as peels or microneedling, for even greater rejuvenation.

How Long Does Botox Last? What to Expect Before and After Your Treatment in the UK

A complete guide from Verse Medical Aesthetics, Guildford

Botox is one of the most popular non-surgical treatments in the world — and for good reason. When done correctly, it smooths expression lines, softens the face, and refreshes your overall look without changing who you are.
Yet one of the most common questions our Guildford clients ask is: how long does Botox actually last? Let’s break that down — from what Botox is, to how it works, to how you can make your results last longer.

What Is Botox and How Does It Work?

Botox is a purified protein derived from Clostridium botulinum, used medically for decades to treat muscle conditions such as migraines and excessive sweating before it ever reached aesthetic clinics.
When injected precisely into facial muscles, it blocks nerve signals that tell those muscles to contract. The result is smoother skin and fewer wrinkles caused by repeated movement — think frown lines, forehead lines, and crow’s feet.

Despite its name, Botulinum toxin (Botox) is not dangerous when used by trained professionals. The doses are tiny, controlled, and well-researched. It’s also not the same as dermal fillers: Botox relaxes muscle activity, while fillers restore lost volume.

When Does Botox Start Working?

Most people start noticing results around 3 to 5 days after treatment, with the full effect visible after 10 to 14 days.
Initially, you might still see movement — that’s normal. The protein works gradually as the nerve endings become less active. We usually schedule a two-week review at our clinic to fine-tune any needed adjustments.

How Long Does Botox Last?

The average Botox treatment lasts three to four months. However, this varies depending on:

• How expressive your facial muscles are

• The number of units used and where they’re placed

• Your individual metabolism

• Whether it’s your first treatment or part of an ongoing plan

With consistent treatments, many clients find that results start to last longer because the targeted muscles become “trained” to stay relaxed.

How to Make Botox Last Longer

No magic supplement extends results, but small lifestyle choices can make a real difference:

• Avoid intense exercise for the first 24 hours — it can cause Botox to diffuse before settling.

• Stay out of saunas or steam rooms for a few days. Heat increases blood flow and may shorten the effect.

• Protect your skin from UV exposure. Sun damage accelerates collagen breakdown, making lines more visible.

• Keep up with a quality skincare routine — vitamin C in the morning, sunscreen daily, and vitamin A (retinoids) at night.

• Maintain regular treatment intervals. Don’t wait until movement fully returns if you want smoother, more consistent results.

Botox Aftercare: What to Do and Avoid

Immediately after treatment, you can return to most normal activities — follow these golden rules for the first 24 hours:

• Keep upright for at least four hours.

• Avoid touching, massaging, or applying pressure to the treated area.

• Skip the gym and hot baths that day.

• Delay makeup for 12 hours to reduce the risk of infection.

Some mild redness or small bumps may appear at the injection sites; these usually settle within minutes to an hour.

Before and After Botox: What Results to Expect

Before treatment, most clients notice lines that linger even when the face is relaxed — especially across the forehead or between the brows.
After Botox, the skin appears smoother, the brows may lift subtly, and makeup applies more evenly. The goal is refreshed, not frozen.

You’ll still look like yourself, just more rested — the best version of your natural expression.

Who Is Botox Suitable For?

Botox is suitable for adults who want to soften dynamic wrinkles — the ones that appear from repeated muscle movement.
It’s also used preventatively in people in their late 20s or 30s who want to delay the formation of deeper lines.
We don’t treat anyone pregnant or breastfeeding, and a medical consultation is always required first.

Common Myths About Botox

• “Botox will make me look fake.” Not when done correctly. At Verse Medical Aesthetics, we use precise, conservative doses to enhance natural expression.

• “Botox is toxic.” It’s made from a purified protein that's been safely used in medicine for over 30 years.

• “Botox is permanent.” It wears off naturally as nerve endings regenerate.

• “Botox and fillers are the same.” They work differently — Botox relaxes movement, fillers restore structure.

Where to Get Botox Near You

If you’re searching “Botox near me” or “Botox Guildford”, it’s worth choosing a medical aesthetics clinic that understands both anatomy and artistry.
At Verse Medical Aesthetics, treatments are always performed by trained medical professionals using premium products.
We focus on results that look effortless — calm brows, smoother skin, and confidence you can feel.

How Much Does Botox Cost in Guildford Compared to London?

In London, three treatment areas often cost around £450–£550, depending on the clinic.
At Verse Medical Aesthetics in Guildford, the same high-quality medical-grade treatment is £250.
The difference isn’t in the expertise — it’s in location overheads. You get the same precision and product, just without central-London prices.

Final Thoughts

Botox isn’t about changing your face; it’s about helping your features rest in harmony.
When performed by qualified injectors and maintained with care, it’s a safe and effective way to refresh your appearance naturally. To book a consultation or find out more about Botox in Guildford, contact Verse Medical Aesthetics today.

Skin Boosters for Youthful Skin | Verse Medical Aesthetics, Guildford

You’ve probably heard friends whisper about skin boosters. Lovely phrase. But what are they, how are they different from fillers, and which one actually suits your skin?

I’m a nurse, so I’ll keep it honest and simple.

First things first: what are skin boosters?

Skin boosters are micro-injections of ultra-light hyaluronic acid (HA)—often with amino acids, vitamins or peptides—placed just under the skin. They don’t change your features or add “volume” like fillers. Think of them as deep hydration + gentle collagen support that improves texture, glow and elasticity over weeks.

If filler is architecture, skin boosters are skincare at a medical depth.

What they can help with

• Dullness and dehydration (even if you’re “good with water”)

• Fine lines and crêpey areas (eyes, neck, chest, hands)

• Makeup sitting oddly on rough or thirsty skin

• “I look tired, but I sleep fine” skin

What they won’t do

• Replace bone structure or lift like filler

• Freeze movement like anti-wrinkle injections

• Overhaul skin overnight (they’re subtle—by design)

How are they different from each other?

At Verse, we use three families because skin has moods and context.

Jalupro Super Hydro — “Deep drink + fibroblast nudge”

• What it is: HA with seven amino acids + biomimetic peptides that signal fibroblasts (your collagen workers).

• Feel of the result: Dewy, bouncy, “I’ve had a week’s rest” skin. Great for dryness and early laxity.

• Course: 3 sessions, ~10 days apart.

• Maintenance: 2–3 times a year.

• Fee: £200 per session (packages available).

NCTF 135 HA by Fillmed — “The multivitamin one”

• What it is: HA + 50+ nutrients (vitamins, minerals, amino acids, antioxidants). Delivered with NanoSoft/NanoNeedle for comfort and precision.

• Feel of the result: Smoother texture, refined pores, healthier tone. Brilliant when your skin just looks… tired.

• Course: 3–5 sessions, 1–2 weeks apart.

• Maintenance: Every 3–6 months.

• Fee: £150 per session (packages available).

Sunekos Performa — “Delicate-area specialist”

• What it is: Low–molecular weight HA + six amino acids to support collagen and elastin in fragile zones.

• Feel of the result: Fresher peri-ocular area, softer neck/décolleté, revived hands—without puffiness.

• Course: 4 sessions, 7–10 days apart.

• Maintenance: Every 6 months.

• Fee: £180 per session (packages available).

Short version:

• Thirsty, slightly lax skin? Jalupro Super Hydro.

• Global quality/texture reboot? NCTF 135.

• Eyes/neck/chest/hands that betray your age? Sunekos Performa.

What does treatment actually feel like?

Tiny pinpricks. We use very fine needles (often NanoSoft®) and a gentle technique. You’ll see small blebs that settle over hours. Expect light pinkness or dots for 24–48 hours. Most people are “meeting-ready” the next day.

Downtime: Minimal.
Results: Start softly, build over weeks. Best photos are usually at 6–12 weeks.

How many sessions will I need?

Skin likes courses. A single session can freshen, but courses create change you can feel in texture and hydration.

• Jalupro: 3 sessions

• NCTF: 3–5 sessions

• Sunekos Performa: 4 sessions

Then top-ups to hold the win.

Is this right for me—or should I do something else?

If you want healthy-looking skin rather than “done” features, boosters are a beautiful first step. If you want lift or shape change, we’ll talk about other options—or combine approaches thoughtfully. This is nurse-led, bespoke care, not a one-size menu.

Honest bits (because you deserve them)

• You may bruise (small dots), especially around the eyes. We plan around events.

• Hydration helps, but skin quality ≠ water intake. Boosters place HA where skincare can’t reach.

• Consistency wins. A steady plan beats a one-off panic before a big weekend.

Aftercare in one paragraph

No makeup on treated skin for 12 hours, avoid saunas/HIIT that day, gentle cleanser + SPF, and hands off the tiny bumps. They settle.

Why Verse Medical Aesthetics (Guildford)?

We map your skin, your lifestyle, your tolerance for downtime and your budget—and design a plan that makes sense. Subtle is our signature. Natural is the goal. Science leads every choice.

Relfydess™: The Next Generation of Botulinum Toxin Arrives in Aesthetics

Intro

• Patients are already familiar with Botox® as a household name.
  
  

• Now, a new generation of botulinum toxin — Relfydess™ — is making headlines for its ready-to-use formulation, faster onset, and longer-lasting results.
  
  

• At Verse Medical Aesthetics, we’re watching this breakthrough closely because it changes how we deliver safe, effective, and convenient care.
  
  

1. What makes Relfydess™ different?

• Unlike traditional toxins, Relfydess™ comes as a liquid, ready-to-use solution.
  
  

• No reconstitution = fewer preparation errors, faster appointments, and more consistent dosing.
  
  

• Developed with PEARL™ Technology to preserve molecular integrity.
  
  

2. Clinical trial results

• Phase III and real-world studies show:
  
  

• Rapid onset: some patients noticed effects from Day 1.
  
  

• Sustained results: improvements lasted up to 6 months, meaning only two treatments per year for many patients.
  
  

• High satisfaction: 92% of patients were satisfied at one month, and more than half still felt confident at 12 months.
  
  

• Safety profile: similar to other botulinum toxins — most side effects are mild and temporary (e.g. headache, injection site tenderness).
  
  

3. Why does this matter for patients?

• Convenience: quicker treatments, fewer visits.
  
  

• Consistency: precise volumetric dosing improves reliability.
  
  

• Confidence: long-lasting effects align with modern lifestyles.
  
  

4. Verse Medical Aesthetics perspective

• We believe in evidence-based adoption. While Relfydess™ has MHRA approval in the UK, we will only integrate it into practice once we’re satisfied with training, safety protocols, and regulatory guidance.
  
  

• Innovation matters, but patient safety comes first.
  

Conclusion

Relfydess™ represents the next step in neuromodulator treatments: faster, longer-lasting, and easier to use. At Verse Medical Aesthetics, we’ll keep you updated as more data emerges and ensure that when this innovation reaches our clinic, it’s delivered with the same care, precision, and professionalism you expect.

Client Testimonial

“Having previously had botox elsewhere that was less than satisfactory (and much more expensive) I did my own research and discovered Marta! My own experience has been nothing short of excellent. She was extremely attentive in the initial meeting and spent the time listening to what I wanted. The follow up meeting is very thorough and her consideration of her clients satisfaction is genuine. She is also a qualified health care professional which provides extra reassurance and is competitively priced. I'm extremely happy with the results and cannot think of a single thing she could improve. I'm now a regular client. Seek here out!”

Adult Acne: Causes, Treatments, and the Truth Behind the Breakouts

June is Acne Awareness Month, and at Verse Medical Aesthetics in Guildford, we’re here to separate myths from science. Adult acne is common, treatable, and often misunderstood. In this guide, we explore causes, evidence-based treatments, diet tips, and the newest options like hyperdiluted Botox—alongside answers to trending Google questions.

What causes acne in adults?

Hormones, stress, and skin barrier damage are common culprits.

Adult acne is not simply “leftover teenage skin.” It is a chronic inflammatory condition driven by hormonal shifts, stress, barrier dysfunction, and gut imbalance. Recent evidence shows that androgens and IGF-1 (insulin-like growth factor 1) are key contributors, often amplified by diet, stress, and systemic inflammation.

Common triggers include:

• Hormonal fluctuations (perimenopause, PCOS, contraceptive changes)

• Sebum overproduction driven by IGF-1

• Harsh skincare routines disrupt the barrier

• Gut dysbiosis and systemic inflammation (Li et al., 2024)

🔗 Learn more about IGF-1 and acne on Wikipedia

What treatments are effective for adult acne?

Evidence-based skincare, peels, and personalised plans work best.

One-size-fits-all won’t cut it. At Verse, we offer tailored acne treatment plans supported by peer-reviewed evidence and personalised assessments.

Our treatment options include:

• Enerpeel® SA or JR: Salicylic acid or resorcinol-based peels that exfoliate gently while preserving the skin barrier.

• Medik8 BHA or clarifying peels: Ideal for sensitive or rosacea-prone skin with acne crossover.

• 30% Azelaic acid peels: Shown to reduce inflammation and improve pigmentation (Feng et al., 2024).

• LED Therapy: Blue and red light to reduce Cutibacterium acnes and calm inflammation (JCAD, 2024).

• Hyperdiluted Botulinum Toxin A: Reduces sebum in oily-prone areas like the T-zone (Facial Acne Management Review, 2024).

• Barrier-first skincare: Lipid-rich products (SkinMed/Medik8) to restore hydration and reduce transepidermal water loss.

📎 Enerpeel SA clinical evidence – SkinMed UK

Before and after photo of Enerpeel treatment for adult acne on the cheeks

Will adult acne go away on its own?

Not always. Addressing the root cause is key.

Adult acne rarely resolves without targeted treatment. Delaying care can increase the risk of:

• Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH)

• Scarring

• Chronic inflammation and flare cycles

Can Botox help with acne?

Yes—hyperdiluted Botox can reduce oil production in the skin.

New evidence supports the off-label use of Botulinum toxin type A for acne and facial seborrhea. When injected intradermally in low doses, it modulates sebaceous gland activity, making it ideal for clients:

• With oily T-zones or forehead congestion

• Who cannot tolerate antibiotics or retinoids

• Seeking subtle textural improvement

  📎 Review: Facial Acne Management and Sebum Reduction with BoNT-A (2022)

How to treat acne scars after breakouts

From peels to microneedling, scarring is treatable.

Scarring can be physical (ice pick, boxcar, hypertrophic) or pigment-related (PIH). We offer:

• Enerpeel JR or TCA Touch peels

• Microneedling (when suitable)

• Pigment-safe actives (kojic acid, azelaic acid)

• LED therapy to support healing and reduce inflammation

Adult acne and dry skin — can they co-exist?

Yes, and often indicate a compromised barrier.

If acne-prone skin feels tight or flaky, barrier repair is needed. We use:

• Ceramide and fatty acid-rich skincare

• Gentle exfoliants and low-irritation peels

• Custom prep and post-treatment regimens

  Adult acne vs rosacea: what’s the difference?
  

Learn to tell them apart to get the right treatment.

Many clients confuse rosacea with acne. Here’s how to spot the difference:

• Rosacea includes redness, flushing, and broken capillaries

• Acne features blackheads, whiteheads, and cysts

• Both can coexist, especially in fair or sensitive skin types

Papulopustular rosacea and acne can look similar.Papulopustular Rosacea on the Cheek

(Source: Clinical Case Study)

What you're seeing:
This image shows papulopustular rosacea, a common subtype of rosacea often confused with acne. It features persistent redness, visible capillaries, and clusters of red papules and pustules—but importantly, no blackheads or whiteheads.

Unlike acne, rosacea:

• Is confined to the central face (cheeks, nose, chin, forehead)

• Is triggered by heat, alcohol, spicy food, stress, or sunlight

• Often affects people with fair, reactive, or sensitive skin types

🔥 Key diagnostic clue: Rosacea lacks comedones and usually comes with diffuse flushing and burning, especially after trigger exposure. Acne treatments can often make rosacea worse, so proper diagnosis is key.

At Verse Medical Aesthetics, we treat rosacea gently with barrier-repairing skincare, LED therapy, and calming topicals designed to reduce redness and flare-ups without disrupting your skin barrier.

📍Book a consultation if you're unsure your breakouts are rosacea, acne, or both.

Acne Vulgaris on the Cheek (Source: DermNet NZ)

What you're seeing:
This image shows inflammatory acne vulgaris—a common skin condition driven by blocked pores, excess oil, and Cutibacterium acnes bacteria. Lesions often include comedones (black and whiteheads), papules, pustules, and nodules or cysts in more severe cases.

Unlike rosacea, acne can affect:

• The jawline, cheeks, chest, and back

• Clients with oily skin or hormonal imbalances

• Teens, young adults, and perimenopausal women

🔬 Key diagnostic clue: The presence of comedones is what helps differentiate acne from rosacea. In-clinic treatments like chemical peels, LED therapy, and barrier-first skincare can significantly reduce inflammation and prevent scarring.

📍Book a skin consultation at Verse Medical Aesthetics in Guildford to find the right evidence-based solution for your acne type.

Low-glycaemic, anti-inflammatory diets can support acne improvement — especially in Western populations.Low-glycaemic, anti-inflammatory diets are acne-friendly.

Diet alone won't cure acne, but evidence strongly suggests that high-glycaemic foods and dairy products can worsen acne in genetically predisposed individuals, particularly among Westernised populations. These foods increase insulin and IGF-1 (insulin-like growth factor 1), which stimulate sebaceous gland activity and inflammation.

✅ Eat more of these:

• Omega-3-rich foods (salmon, walnuts, chia seeds) – anti-inflammatory

• Zinc-rich foods (pumpkin seeds, lentils) – supports immune balance

• Fermented foods (kefir, sauerkraut, kimchi) – gut-skin axis support

• Low-GI fruits and vegetables – reduce insulin spikes

🚫 Avoid or limit:

• Cow’s milk, especially skim milk and whey-based protein shakes

• High-GI foods – white bread, sweetened drinks, sugary snacks

• Whey and casein protein supplements – shown to increase IGF-1

These insights are supported by systematic reviews and clinical trials showing a modest but consistent improvement in acne when switching to a low-glycaemic-load diet. Notably, dairy’s role in acne seems more pronounced in Western diets compared to non-Western ones.

Botox Bruising: Expert Prevention & Treatment Tips in Guildford

Bruising after Botox injections is a common worry for patients at our Guildford clinic. Here, you’ll discover exactly what causes Botox bruising, expert prevention strategies, what to do if a bruise appears, how to cover it up, and when to seek help.

What Causes Botox Bruising?

Botox bruising happens when the needle disrupts a tiny blood vessel under the skin. Some areas—like around the eyes—are more prone to bruising. The risk increases with blood-thinning medication, alcohol, certain supplements (e.g., vitamin E, fish oil), and even your genetics or skin type.

How Long Does Botox Bruising Last?

Most Botox bruises fade within 3–7 days. For patients in Guildford and Surrey who bruise easily, following our aftercare steps can help minimise both the severity and duration.

How to Prevent Bruising Before Your Appointment

• Pause blood thinners: With your doctor’s advice, stop aspirin/ibuprofen, fish oil, and vitamin E 3–7 days before.

• Skip alcohol: No alcohol 48 hours before your appointment.

• Use Arnica Montana: Arnica (oral or gel) reduces post-injection bruising by up to 40% (Dermatologic Surgery, 2023).

• Cold compress: Ice before and after your treatment constricts blood vessels and reduces bruising.

• Skilled injector: At Verse Medical Aesthetics in Guildford, we use a gentle technique and knowledge of facial anatomy to reduce trauma.

How to Quickly Treat Bruising After Botox:

• Arnica gel: Apply 2–3 times daily.

• Vitamin K cream: Supports blood reabsorption.

• Occlusive patches: Advanced wound care for persistent bruises.

• Vbeam laser: Ask about our clinic’s laser options for rapid healing.

• Cold compress: Continue using ice for the first 24 hours.

• No heat/exercise: Avoid hot showers, saunas, and intense exercise for 48 hours.

Supplement	How It Works	Efficacy	Notes
Arnica	Reduces inflammation and swelling, speeds up healing of bruises.	★★★★☆	Backed by clinical studies for reducing post-injection bruising.
Vitamin K Cream	Supports blood clotting and helps break down bruise pigments.	★★★★☆	Effective for topical application; commonly used post-cosmetic procedures.
Bromelain	Enzyme from pineapple; reduces swelling and inflammation.	★★★☆☆	Best used as a supplement; avoid if allergic to pineapple.

How to Cover Botox Bruises with Makeup

• Use a green-tinted concealer to neutralise redness/purple.

• Top with a full-coverage concealer matching your skin tone.

• Apply makeup with a clean brush or sponge to avoid infection.

Botox Bruising FAQs

How long does Botox bruising last?

Usually 3–7 days.

Can I exercise after Botox?

Avoid workouts for 24–48 hours to minimise risk.

Does alcohol make bruising worse?

Yes, avoid alcohol before and after your appointment.

Is bruising a sign that the treatment was not performed correctly?

No, minor bruising is normal and temporary.
