Profhilo
Profhilo is an injectable skin-quality treatment with a high concentration of hyaluronic acid, designed to improve the skin’s hydration, elasticity and firmness; it is not a filler for adding volume or shape.
Overview
With age, the hyaluronic acid and collagen in the skin decrease; the skin becomes thinner, loses moisture, and mild laxity and fine lines become more visible.
Profhilo is injected into the skin at a small number of points and spreads beneath the skin, hydrating the area. The aim is to improve overall skin quality without changing the shape of the face.
The treatment is quick, and most people return to their daily routine the same day. Two sessions a few weeks apart are usually planned.
- A treatment that focuses on skin quality without changing the shape of the face
- Quick injections at a small number of points
- Back to daily life the same day
- Can be planned together with fillers and other treatments if needed
What Is Profhilo?
Profhilo is a high-concentration hyaluronic acid product made by combining hyaluronic acids of different molecular weights. Unlike conventional fillers, it does not add volume to a specific area; it spreads beneath the skin to provide hydration and support over a wide area.
For this reason, Profhilo is described as a "skin remodelling" treatment aimed at improving skin quality.
Which Areas Can Be Treated With Profhilo?
- Face: dehydrated, lax skin with visible fine lines
- Neck: fine lines and laxity
- Décolleté: supporting skin quality
- Backs of the hands: thinned, dehydrated skin
Who Is Profhilo Suitable For?
Profhilo is suitable for people whose skin has lost moisture, who have mild laxity and fine lines, and who want fresher skin without changing the shape of their face.
It is not enough on its own for marked volume loss or deep wrinkles; in these cases it can be planned together with fillers or other treatments. It is not performed during pregnancy or breastfeeding, where there is an active infection in the area, or in people allergic to hyaluronic acid.
How Is Profhilo Performed?
The skin is cleansed and the injection points are marked. On the face, injections are made with a fine needle at a small number of defined points on each side. The treatment usually takes 15–20 minutes.
Two sessions about a month apart are usually planned. To maintain the effect, maintenance treatments can be done at the intervals your physician recommends.
After Profhilo: Recovery and Results
Small bumps may appear at the injection points; these usually disappear within a few hours to a day. Mild redness or bruising may also occur. Most people return to their daily routine the same day.
- On the first day, the treated area is not massaged and no make-up is applied
- Sauna, intense exercise and strong heat are avoided for as long as your physician advises
The improvement in hydration and radiance usually becomes noticeable in the weeks after the second session.
Possible Risks and Side Effects
- Temporary bumps, redness or tenderness at the injection points
- Mild bruising
- Rarely, infection or an allergic reaction
