Jalupro and Profhilo are two of the leading skin boosters designed to refresh, smooth and deeply hydrate your skin. Skin boosters are injectable treatments that work from within to improve skin quality.
Rather than adding volume or changing facial contours like dermal fillers, they deliver deep hydration and stimulate your skin’s natural collagen and elastin production with hyaluronic acid. According to the British Association of Dermatologists, hyaluronic acid plays a key role in retaining water in the skin and maintaining elasticity.
At Melior Clinics, we offer both Jalupro and Profhilo. This article will help you understand:
- how they work,
- the differences between them, and
- which one might be the best fit for your skin goals.
Understanding Jalupro
Jalupro is an injectable skin booster that combines hyaluronic acid with amino acids. Hyaluronic acid delivers deep hydration, while the amino acids help to repair and strengthen the skin’s structure from within.
National Institutes of Health states that amino acids play a crucial role in skin rejuvenation by promoting fibroblast activity and collagen synthesis. This process contributes to the restoration of skin structure and function, making treatments like Jalupro effective for combating signs of ageing and environmental damage.
When injected, Jalupro stimulates fibroblast cells to produce fresh collagen, improving elasticity and encouraging skin renewal. Over time, this leads to a smoother, firmer, and more youthful-looking complexion.
The key benefits of Jalupro treatment:
- Skin repair: Supports the regeneration of damaged skin tissue, making it ideal for sun-damaged or prematurely aged skin.
- Hydration: Replenishes moisture deep within the skin for a plump, radiant finish.
- Under-eye rejuvenation: Gentle enough to treat the delicate under-eye area, reducing fine lines and improving texture.
- Improved elasticity: Boosts collagen production for firmer, more resilient skin over time.
Jalupro is versatile and can be used to treat the face, neck, décolletage, hands and under-eyes, making it suitable for a wide range of skin concerns.
Jalupro treatment approach and longevity
A typical Jalupro course involves 3 – 4 sessions. While you may notice an improvement in radiance within a week results continue to develop over several weeks as collagen production increases. Effects usually last for around six months, after which maintenance treatments are recommended to prolong results.
Understanding Profhilo
Profhilo is an award-winning injectable treatment made from high concentrations of pure hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring molecule in the skin that attracts and retains water, supporting both hydration and the health of collagen and elastin.
Unlike dermal fillers, Profhilo does not add volume. Instead, it spreads evenly beneath the skin to stimulate collagen and elastin production while delivering intense hydration.
The key benefits of Profhilo treatment:
- Hydration: Attracts and locks in moisture for a smoother, more radiant complexion.
- Firmness and elasticity: Encourages the synthesis of collagen and elastin, improving skin tone and structure.
- Natural results: Disperses evenly in the skin
- Minimal downtime: Quick treatment with effects often visible immediately.
Profhilo is most often used for skin laxity in the face, neck, décolletage, and hands, and is particularly effective for crepey or dehydrated skin.
Profhilo treatment approach and longevity
Profhilo is typically delivered in two sessions. You may see hydrating effects almost immediately, with skin firmness improving over the following weeks. Results last for around six months, after which a maintenance treatment every six months is recommended.

Is there downtime with Profhilo and Jalupro?

The most appropriate treatment for you
Both Jalupro and Profhilo are highly effective options for skin rejuvenation, but the most suitable choice will depend on your skin’s current condition, areas of concern, and the results you want to achieve.
Jalupro is particularly well suited to patients who want to target tired, dull, or sun-damaged skin, or who are looking to address delicate areas such as the under-eyes. Its combination of hyaluronic acid and amino acids works to repair skin structure while delivering deep hydration, making it ideal if you’re seeking a gradual but noticeable improvement in texture, firmness, and overall radiance.
Profhilo is a great option for those seeking intense hydration and an overall lift in skin quality with fewer treatment sessions. It’s especially effective for improving skin laxity and restoring a fresh, plump appearance to the face, neck, décolletage, and hands. Many patients notice benefits almost immediately, with further improvements developing over the weeks that follow.
