A single Profhilo session in London typically runs £280 to £500, with a standard two-session course landing between roughly £550 and £1,200 depending on clinic and area. London prices sit at the higher end of the UK scale, and two sessions, spaced about four weeks apart, remain the recommended starting protocol.
TL;DR:
- Profhilo in London costs between £280 and £500 per session, with a typical two-session course costing £550 to £1,200 depending on clinic and area treated.
- Most patients require a second session after four weeks, with full results developing over 8 to 12 weeks and maintenance needed every 6 to 12 months.
- The price usually includes consultation, product, injection, and aftercare, but costs increase with larger areas like neck, décolletage, or hands.
- Higher prices at prestigious clinics reflect practitioner experience and product sourcing, and the full cost should be transparent before booking.
- Success heavily depends on the practitioner’s skill with precise injection placement, making experience more important than price alone.

How much does Profhilo cost in London?
The number you’ll actually pay depends on where you sit within that £280 to £500 per-session band, and area treated matters more than most patients expect.
At the lower end, some London clinics quote from around £350 per session, with a first two-session course starting from roughly £650. Mid-range Mayfair and Marylebone clinics tend to sit closer to £400 to £450 per session, while premium Harley Street addresses can push past £500, particularly when a senior aesthetic doctor rather than a nurse practitioner is administering treatment.
Here’s how the maths usually breaks down for a face treatment course:
- Budget clinics: £280 to £350 per session, £550 to £700 for the full two-session course
- Mid-tier London clinics: £380 to £450 per session, £750 to £900 for the course
- Premium Harley Street/Mayfair clinics: £450 to £500+ per session, £900 to £1,200 for the course
Maintenance costs less to plan for once the initial course is done. A single top-up session usually falls within the same £280 to £500 window, so budgeting one maintenance visit every 6 to 12 months adds roughly £300 to £500 a year on top of the initial outlay.
Area treated changes the total substantially. Face-only treatment sits at the lower end of the ranges above. Add the neck and prices commonly rise by £100 to £150 per session, since more product and injection points are needed. Décolletage or hand rejuvenation, both increasingly requested alongside facial Profhilo, typically add a further £100 to £200 per area per session.
Multi-session packages are common. Many clinics discount the second session when both are booked together upfront, effectively reducing the per-session rate by £30 to £80 compared with paying separately. Some also bundle a third maintenance visit into an annual plan at a reduced rate. It’s always worth asking whether the quoted course price is genuinely lower than paying per visit, since not every “package” saves money once you do the sums.
What is Profhilo, and how is it different from a filler?
Profhilo is not a dermal filler. It’s a hybrid hyaluronic acid complex combining high molecular weight and low molecular weight HA, supplied in a 2ml syringe containing 64mg of hyaluronic acid. Rather than adding volume the way a cheek or lip filler does, it’s designed for bio-remodelling: stimulating the skin’s own collagen and elastin production from within.
Practitioners inject it using the bio-aesthetic point (BAP) technique, typically five points per side of the face, allowing the product to spread through the tissue rather than sit in one place. This mechanism explains why Profhilo pricing and session counts differ from dermal fillers: you’re paying for a biological remodelling process that unfolds over weeks, not an immediate shape change. If you’re deciding between the two, our comparison of skin boosters versus Profhilo breaks down which suits which skin concern.
How many Profhilo sessions will you need?
Most patients follow the same starting protocol, regardless of which London clinic they choose:
- Session one establishes the initial bio-remodelling stimulus.
- Session two follows around four weeks later, reinforcing the effect.
- Full results typically develop over 8 to 12 weeks after the second session, as collagen and elastin production build gradually rather than appearing overnight.
- Maintenance sessions are then spaced every 6 to 12 months, depending on skin condition, age, and how the individual’s skin responds.
That four-week gap between the first two sessions isn’t arbitrary. It gives the tissue time to respond to the first stimulus before the second dose is layered in, which is part of why results feel gradual rather than instant. Patients often notice early skin texture changes within a few weeks, with the fuller “glow” effect building steadily rather than arriving all at once. Our detailed Profhilo treatment review covers what that timeline actually feels like week by week.
What does the price include, and what changes it?
A properly quoted Profhilo price should never be just “the injection.” ACE Group guidance recommends that clinics carry out a full consultation and medical questionnaire, obtain informed consent, and keep records including photographs, before treatment begins. That process is usually folded into the headline price rather than charged separately.
A typical quote should include:
- Initial consultation and skin assessment
- The product itself (Profhilo, Profhilo Structura, or Profhilo Body, depending on the area)
- The injection appointment
- Follow-up or aftercare guidance
- Photographic records for your medical file
Several factors then push the price up or down. Clinic location matters: a Harley Street or Mayfair address commands a premium over outer London clinics, partly reflecting overheads and partly reflecting the seniority of practitioners typically based there. Practitioner registration and experience matter too. A consultant-led clinic will usually charge more than one where a newly qualified nurse is administering treatment, and both should be able to confirm their GMC or NMC registration on request.
Product variant also affects cost. Standard Profhilo H+L for the face is usually the baseline price, while Profhilo Body or Structura, available through authorised distributors to licensed practitioners, tend to cost more per session because larger areas require more product.
Pro Tip: Ask whether VAT is included in the headline price before you book. Some clinics quote VAT-inclusive figures and others add it at checkout, which can shift your total by a noticeable margin on a £900 course.
Watch for hidden extras too: additional syringes if more than one area is treated, separate charges for topical anaesthetic, and cancellation fees if you need to rearrange within 24 to 48 hours.
What happens during a Profhilo appointment?
The appointment itself is short. Most sessions take around 15 to 30 minutes from start to finish, including the topical anaesthetic cream many clinics apply beforehand, since Profhilo doesn’t typically contain lidocaine itself.
Immediately after injection, small raised bumps appear at each BAP injection site. This is expected and usually settles within a few hours, though mild bruising can occasionally last a few days longer. Resist the temptation to press or massage the treated area, since the product needs to diffuse through the tissue undisturbed to work properly.
Aftercare is straightforward:
- Avoid massaging or pressing the injection sites for at least 24 hours
- Skip saunas, steam rooms, and intense heat for a couple of days
- Apply SPF daily, particularly given how much UV exposure accelerates the collagen loss Profhilo is designed to counter
- Contact the clinic promptly if bruising worsens or a lump doesn’t resolve within the expected window
Our anti-wrinkle aftercare guide covers the broader principles that apply across most injectable treatments, Profhilo included.
How do you choose a reputable Profhilo clinic in London?
Price alone tells you very little about quality. A clinic quoting £280 with a poorly trained injector is a worse choice than one quoting £450 with a doctor who can show you their registration and a genuine track record.
Before booking, work through this checklist:
- Confirm CQC registration for the clinic and check the practitioner’s GMC or NMC number independently, not just on the clinic’s own website.
- Ask for a full, itemised price breakdown before you commit, covering consultation, product, and any follow-up costs.
- Ask who will actually inject you and their level of experience with Profhilo specifically, not injectables generally.
- Ask how product authenticity is verified, since authorised distributors expect clinics to be able to show sourcing documentation on request.
- Ask what happens if something goes wrong, including the clinic’s complication pathway and whether follow-up reviews are included in the price.
As of mid‑2026, a single Profhilo session in London typically ranges between £280 and £500, so any quote wildly outside that band, in either direction, deserves a second look before you book.
Red flags worth walking away from: a clinic that won’t disclose full pricing until after consultation, pressure to book on the day, or reluctance to answer questions about who’s actually holding the needle. For a broader look at vetting practitioners for any injectable treatment, our guide to choosing a dermal filler clinic covers the same principles that apply here.
Is Profhilo worth the price? An honest view
The conventional wisdom treats Profhilo pricing like filler pricing, comparing cost per syringe and assuming cheaper is simply better value. That comparison misses the point of what you’re actually buying. You’re paying for a biological process that takes 8 to 12 weeks to show its full effect, not an instant visual change, and that changes how “value” should be judged.
What tends to get underestimated is how much practitioner skill affects outcome with Profhilo specifically. The BAP technique relies on precise placement across five points per side; get that wrong and the diffusion pattern suffers, regardless of how good the product itself is. That’s a stronger argument for paying for experience than most pricing guides admit, and it’s why I’d rather see a reader pay £450 for a doctor-led session than £280 for one where nobody can clearly explain their injection technique.
If you want a quote specific to your skin and budget, book a consultation and ask the questions above directly. A clinic confident in its work will answer all of them without hesitation.
