Hi Alice, I am considering Profhilo for the first time at Dr Nestor in Edinburgh. I have had a consultation with him but still nervous about having needles in my face. Is there any other treatment you would recommend that doesn’t use needles?

I’d have another chat with Dr Nestor, or one of his previous patients, about the treatment and how they found it. He’s a fab practitioner, it is a very quick treatment and really not that painful. Profhilo is a great product and where it scores over the other ‘injectable moisturisers’ that do the same thing is that it only needs 5 injections on each side of the face to put it in place.  But I do hear what you are saying – there are loads of treatments that will hydrate the skin – but nothing that will give you the same sort of skin-regeneration from the inside out.
