​Profhilo is an innovative injectable skin remodelling treatment that stands out for its high concentration of hyaluronic acid (HA), one of the highest available on the market. Unlike traditional dermal fillers that add volume or reshape features, Profhilo acts as a 'bioremodeller', spreading beneath the skin to hydrate deeply and stimulate the production of collagen and elastin—the proteins that keep skin firm, elastic, and youthful.
The treatment involves a series of small injections using a specialized technique called Bio Aesthetic Points (BAP), where just a few strategic points allow the product to diffuse evenly across the treatment area. This results in improved skin texture, firmness, and luminosity without altering your natural appearance. Typically, it requires two sessions about a month apart, with results building gradually over 4-6 weeks and lasting up to six months or more. At our clinic, we love how Profhilo delivers a natural "skin boost" that's minimally invasive with virtually no downtime—just some mild redness that fades quickly.
​

Summer holidays are all about fun in the sun, but they can take a toll on your skin. Prolonged UV exposure, saltwater, chlorine, and dehydration from travel often lead to dryness, premature ageing, and a loss of that healthy glow. UV rays break down collagen and elastin, causing wrinkles, sagging, and pigmentation spots, while environmental factors exacerbate dullness and texture issues.
This is where Profhilo shines as a post-summer hero.
Its ultra-pure HA formula provides intense hydration from within, repairing summer damage by boosting moisture levels and stimulating skin regeneration. After treatment, you'll notice plumper, more elastic skin with a natural radiance—perfect for transitioning into autumn without heavy makeup or filters. It's like giving your skin a much-needed "holiday recovery," protecting against further premature ageing and leaving you looking refreshed and revitalised. Many of our clients book Profhilo right after returning from trips to combat that post-vacation fatigue and maintain their summer glow year-round.

Profhilo is incredibly versatile and ideal for a wide range of clients seeking non-surgical skin rejuvenation. It's particularly well-suited for those in their 30s to 60s experiencing early to moderate signs of ageing, such as skin laxity, fine lines, wrinkles, or loss of elasticity.
If your skin feels dehydrated, dull, or tired—perhaps from environmental factors like Plymouth's coastal winds or daily stress—this treatment can restore vitality without looking "done."
It's great for both men and women addressing concerns like:

• Sagging or crepey skin on the face, neck, décolletage, or hands
• Fine lines around the eyes, mouth, or forehead
• Uneven texture or reduced firmness
• Sun-damaged or ageing skin, including acne scars or pigmentation issues

Profhilo is also suitable during or after summer, as it enhances hydration and elasticity without increasing sun sensitivity. However, it's not recommended for pregnant or breastfeeding individuals, those with active skin infections, or certain medical conditions. At our Royal William Yard clinic, we always start with a personalised consultation to ensure it's the right fit for you.

Nestled in the historic Royal William Yard, our clinic offers a tranquil, professional environment where your safety, comfort and results are our top priorities. Our founder Charlotte, a registered dental professional, with over 10 years aesthetics experience, uses authentic Profhilo products and tailors each session to your skin's needs, often combining it with other treatments like hydrafacials for enhanced wellness.
​We focus on natural-looking outcomes that empower you to feel confident in your own skin.

When people think of chemical peels, they often think back to that episode of Sex and the City and are wary of of what will happen afterwards.
At Enhance Aesthetics and Wellness, we have been using AlumierMD chemical peels for years, helping people achieve great looking skin.
Here, our founder Charlotte Thompson shares her expert opinion on these chemical peels.

What is an AlumierMD Chemical Peel?
An AlumierMD chemical peel is a professional-grade skin treatment designed to exfoliate and rejuvenate the skin. It involves the application of a chemical solution to the skin, which prompts the body to naturally shed dead skin cells and stimulate the production of new, healthier skin cells.
AlumierMD chemical peels are customised to address specific skin concerns, such as ageing, acne, hyperpigmentation, and even rosacea. They can vary in intensity, with some peels being more superficial and others penetrating deeper into the skin.

What happens during the chemical peel treatment?
During the treatment, a peeling solution is applied to the skin for a specific amount of time, depending on your desired results and your skin type. Afterwards, the solution is neutralised and removed. Your skin may appear slightly red or irritated straight after the procedure. Over the following days and weeks, smoother, brighter and more youthful-looking skin will be revealed. However, don’t be surprised if your skin doesn’t shed like a snake, our peels are designed to promote gentle exfoliation and some see no visible peeling at all.

Do I need to hide away in a dark room for days afterwards?
It is normal for skin to be slightly 'glowy' for some hours afterwards and we advise you to avoid make up straight afterwards, along with sun exposure, hot baths/showers and exercise, but other than following our aftercare advice, there is no 'downtime' to our AlumierMD peels.

It is important to note that AlumierMD chemical peels should only be performed by trained professionals, as they require expertise to ensure the right type and strength of peel is used for each individual's skin. Additionally, proper post-treatment care and sun protection are essential to maximise results and minimise potential side effects.

 Chemical Peels sound harsh, can I have one if I have sensitive skin or active acne?
Yes, it is possible to have an AlumierMD chemical peel if you have sensitive skin or acne breakouts. However, we recommend to come in for a free consultation so that we can assess your skin's suitability and advise the appropriate type and strength of peel for your specific needs, or recommend other treatments available at Enhance.
AlumierMD offers a range of chemical peels with varying levels of intensity, including peels specifically formulated for sensitive skin. These peels are typically milder and gentler, designed to minimize irritation and minimize the risk of adverse reactions.
During your consultation, be sure to disclose any known sensitivities or allergies to the practitioner performing the peel. They will take this information into account and tailor the treatment accordingly. 

How much do AlumierMD peels cost?
At Enhance Aesthetics and Wellness we have 2 types of peel. Our Original AlumierMD peel costs £125 and is an ideal starting point for anyone looking to see improvements in their skin. Our Advanced AlumierMD peel is £150 and is suitable for those who have been used to having peels and are looking for more intense treatment. We also have a Membership Plan designed to help you plan your treatments monthly, please ask our staff at your next appointment.

The last word....
Chemical peels are a fantastic way to start your journey to younger, clearer looking skin.
At Enhance, our skin experts Charlotte, Grace and Zoe are all trained in the AlumierMD skincare range and in their chemical peel range.  Book a free consultation today to find out your options and to see if you are suitable for one of these treatments.

1. Most workouts leave your skin hot and flushed, so firstly use a gentle cleanser to remove any sweat, excess oil and bacteria from your face.  

We recommend AlumierMD Sensicalm – a smooth, hydrating cleanser that delicately removes impurities and excess oil with Yucca root extract, whilst Aloe and niacinamide calm the skin of any redness.
 

   2. Don’t be tempted to use a scrub like exfoliant after your gym sesh. Post workout skin is delicate and prone to micro abrasions, so skip the exfoliating step of your routine until the following evening/morning.

   3. Apply a nurturing serum between your cleanser and moisturiser. We love AlumierMD Ultimate Boost, an absolute hero product. This lightweight serum will replace hydration lost through sweating and enhance the skin’s natural barrier. It also contains a cocktail of powerful anti-oxidants to protect the skin from future damage.

    4. Use a skin specific moisturiser. This essential step will maintain hydration and prevent dryness even in oily skin.
There is a big difference between skin oiliness and hydration, so even if your skin is oily post workout, don’t be inclined to skip this step. AlumierMD’s Hydralight is a light moisturiser specifically for normal to oily skin. It leaves the skin feeling balanced and ultra hydrated.  
If your skin is on the dry side, use AlumierMD’s HydraDew, an intensely moisturising cream, loaded with powerful peptides, antioxidants and soothing ingredients.

    5. SPF even on rainy days is important to protect the skin from premature ageing. Use a mineral based SPF specific to your skin type. Use a tinted SPF to give an even skin tone and perfect makeup base. We have a range of AlumierMD SPF’s to suit all skin types. 

I prefer to shower at home rather than the gym, is this ok?
As well as  the build up of sweat on your face, dirt, dust and bacteria from things like your yoga mat, hair, hands, towels and equipment can also accumulate on your skin. Leaving this to dry and clog your pores is not going to do your skin any good, so we recommend you wash your face at least, as soon as you finish your workout. This is especially important if you are acne prone.
 
I want to do my makeup before the gym so I’m looking my best..
Using a mineral based spf is recommended all the time, however, you still need to wash your face after the gym, so applying makeup pre-workout will not just potentially clog pores, but will all have to be washed off anyway!

I drink loads of water but my skin is still dehydrated!
Skin can be dry for a variety of reasons.  Keep drinking water but talk to us about how we can help you address this problem.
