Profhilo® &
skin boosters.
Skin quality can change over time. Hydration, texture, elasticity and resilience can be influenced by age, hormonal changes and other factors, and the most appropriate treatment is not always obvious from one concern alone.
At UP®, we offer injectable skin treatments including Profhilo® and NCTF® 135 HA. We begin with an individual assessment of your skin, priorities and wider goals, drawing on expertise across our skin and injectables teams, with medical oversight and clinical governance built into our approach.
Different skin concerns.
Different approaches.
Hydration, texture and elasticity do not always change together. Understanding what matters most helps guide the choice of treatment.
Bioremodelling for hydration,
elasticity and skin quality.
Profhilo® is an injectable hyaluronic acid treatment designed to support hydration, skin quality and tissue remodelling.
Profhilo® product information ↓Dehydration, crepey texture, loss of elasticity and skin that feels less firm, smooth or resilient than it used to.
Profhilo® can form part of a broader skin-quality plan where the goal is to support hydration, elasticity and tissue quality, either on its own or alongside complementary skin treatments.
A course of two treatments is commonly recommended initially, followed by maintenance according to your response and goals.
Hydration, texture
and support from within.
NCTF® 135 HA is an injectable skin booster combining hyaluronic acid with a complex of additional ingredients. It offers a different approach to supporting skin hydration and quality, with suitability determined through individual assessment.

We assess your skin quality, treatment history and goals before discussing whether NCTF® 135 HA, Profhilo® or another approach is appropriate.

Understand your skin
We look at skin quality, hydration, texture, elasticity, treatment history and the changes you are noticing before recommending an approach.
Consider the wider picture
Age, hormonal influences and other changes can affect your skin. We consider your concerns in context rather than assuming that one injectable treatment is always the answer.
Build a plan around you
Our registered nurse discusses whether Profhilo®, NCTF® 135 HA or a complementary skin treatment is appropriate, taking your goals and individual assessment into account.
Work within clinical governance
Injectable treatments are provided within UP®'s clinical governance framework, with medical oversight, documented protocols and defined pathways for treatment, review and escalation.
Sometimes it’s
not one thing.
Changes in skin quality do not always happen in isolation. Hydration, texture and elasticity can be influenced by age, hormonal changes and other factors. Sometimes the concern also involves facial movement, volume or structure.
Understanding what is contributing to the changes you are noticing helps us determine whether a skin booster, another treatment or a broader approach is appropriate.
Your questions, answered
From choosing between Profhilo® and NCTF® 135 HA to understanding treatment planning and clinical care, here are some of the questions we commonly discuss during consultations at UP®.
Treatment & consultation
Understanding your options, the initial treatment plan and what happens during your consultation.
How do I know whether Profhilo® or NCTF® 135 HA is suitable for me?
The choice depends on your skin, treatment history, concerns and goals. Although both contain hyaluronic acid, their formulations and treatment approaches differ.
We assess the changes you are noticing, explain the relevant options and discuss which treatment, if any, is appropriate. Sometimes a different skin treatment or a broader plan makes more sense.
How many Profhilo® treatments will I need?
An initial course of two treatments is commonly recommended, with the appointments generally spaced approximately four weeks apart.
Maintenance is considered according to your individual response, skin and treatment goals. We will explain the recommended schedule during your consultation.
Our standard initial two-treatment course is $1,650. Individual treatments are $850.
How many NCTF® 135 HA treatments will I need?
The number and frequency of treatments depend on the assessment, treatment plan and relevant product guidance.
We will discuss an appropriate initial schedule and any subsequent review or maintenance before treatment begins.
NCTF® 135 HA is $600 per treatment.
Can skin injectables be combined with other skin treatments?
Depending on your skin and goals, an injectable treatment may be considered alongside other treatments available at UP®, including appropriate skin treatments.
Different procedures may need to be separated or sequenced. We assess suitability, treatment timing and recovery requirements before recommending a combination.
You can also explore the wider concerns we assess at UP® .
