Profhilo
Both Profhilo and dermal fillers use hyaluronic acid, which occurs naturally in the body and provides hydration and volume to the skin. Profhilo is unlike traditional fillers as it does not add significant volume to the face. The aim of Profhilo is to smooth lines, lift and tighten, while enhancing the skin’s glow and luminosity.
Traditional dermal fillers remain where they are injected whilst the new skin rejuvenating injectables slowly infuse hyaluronic acid through the skin, making the result more subtle. Profhilo also boost collagen and elastin production, which can help to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
If you are looking to give your skin a more youthful appearance but aim for a natural look, Profhilo could be for you as whilst dermal filler is injected into specific areas of the face, such as cheekbones or lips, Profhilo is distributed evenly across the face for a complete refresh. Our aesthetics clinician, Dr Bita Farzad, is an experienced Profhilo provider and at Umi Clinic in Petersfield, Hampshire, we are pleased to offer it to our patients as one of the latest anti-ageing treatments to boost skin rejuvenation.
Polynucleotides
Enhance skin elasticity and regain a youthful radiance with polynucleotides. Ameela is a unique injectable solution based on natural polymerized polynucleotides. Polynucleotides can support cellular repair and regeneration processes, leading to improved tissue health and skin appearance.
What is polynucleotide treatment?
Polynucleotides are a ground-breaking addition to the new generation of injectables, a polynucleotide treatment unlike traditional hyaluronic acid fillers does not add volume but instead activates your skin’s regenerative capacity. It can regenerate collagen, offering brightening effects by stimulating your skin’s natural repair process. At Umi Clinic in Petersfield in Hampshire, we are pleased to offer the cutting-edge technology offered by Croma /Plinest.
Polynucleotide injectables can strengthen and recondition your skin without causing puffiness, restoring skin tone and elasticity.
Polynucleotide treatment can tackle a variety of skin issues such as fine wrinkles and lines, dark under eye circles and eye puffiness. It can be used in areas including the face, hair, neck and hands.
PRP & Cellular Matrix PRP
PRP therapy harnesses the power of your own blood’s platelets to stimulate cell renewal and collagen production. A small sample of blood is drawn, processed to separate the platelets, and then re-injected into the skin to promote natural healing and skin regeneration. At Umi Clinic, we use two leading PRP systems:
Regen PRP – Natural Skin Rejuvenation
Regen PRP is a highly concentrated platelet-rich plasma system that delivers exceptional results for skin tightening, hydration, and anti-ageing. This treatment boosts collagen & elastin production, improves skin texture & hydration and reduces pigmentation & scarring.
Cellular Matrix PRP – The Ultimate Combination of PRP & Hyaluronic Acid
Cellular Matrix PRP is a revolutionary treatment that combines PRP with Hyaluronic Acid (HA) to further enhance skin hydration, elasticity, and volume. This unique combination provides deep Hydration, superior anti-ageing benefits coupled with faster healing & enhanced results.

Polynucleotides FAQs
These treatments are carefully administered by injection in the most comfortable way possible, by our experienced clinicians, to minimise any discomfort. The treatment area can be prepared with numbing gel. Only trained practitioners should perform injectable treatments as they require in-depth knowledge of anatomy and a detailed facial examination.
After at least 2-3 treatments four weeks apart you should see tighter, smoother, more hydrated and radiant skin.
Following 2-3 treatments of the Profhilo skin booster, 4-6 weeks apart, you could leave approximately 6 months between each subsequent treatment. Sometimes further treatments can be required to see the full benefit of Profhilo. Generally, this would be determined during your initial consultation but will depend on your body’s response to the initial treatment.
The needle used is tiny, it is the product itself that can cause a brief stinging sensation as it is injected. However, each injection takes only seconds to administer so the sensation is short lived and dissipates quickly. We can also use numbing cream prior to treatment.
The benefits you experience depend on the area treated. They may include restored skin tone and elasticity, smoother, tighter skin, reduced pigmentation, reduced dark under-eye circles, and a fresher youthful look.
Generally, following the initial 3-4 treatments, you could leave approximately 6-9 months between each subsequent treatment.
The procedure involves tiny injections, and we can use a numbing cream to ensure comfort. Most clients find it very tolerable.
For best results, we recommend 3-6 sessions, spaced 4-6 weeks apart.
Regen PRP is pure platelet-rich plasma, ideal for collagen stimulation and skin renewal. Cellular Matrix PRP enhances this by adding Hyaluronic Acid, providing extra hydration and plumping effects.
PRP is perfect for anyone looking to reduce fine lines, improve skin texture, treat acne scars, or restore a youthful glow.
You can return to your normal activities following treatment but for the first 24 hours patients are advised not to apply make-up and to stay out of the sun. There will be small localised red bumps where the product has been placed that will quickly start to fade, sometimes within a few hours, and that should disappear within one day.
