What is Profhilo?
Profhilo is an injectable rejuvenation treatment made of hyaluronic acid. Its gel-like consistency distributes smoothly and evenly through the skin without forming lumps, which means it can be used in areas that are difficult to treat with traditional fillers. Instead of shaping or adding volume, it flows over a wider area to boost hydration and smooth and remodel the skin.
How does Profhilo work?
Once injected, Profhilo stays in the skin for around 28 days. During that time the slow release of hyaluronic acid stimulates several types of collagen and elastin. This is why Profhilo is more than a simple skin booster: as well as improving hydration and skin quality, it has a tightening and lifting effect on the tissue.
Who is Profhilo for?
As we age, the hyaluronic acid in the skin naturally decreases, and the skin gradually loses firmness and elasticity. Many people start to notice this in their 30s. Profhilo suits anyone who wants to improve skin quality – such as laxity, dullness and dehydration – without changing the shape of their face.
What happens during treatment?
- Consultation: your doctor assesses your skin and confirms whether Profhilo or another skin treatment is the best choice for you.
- Injection: Profhilo is injected with very fine needles at five specific points on each side of the face. Using a small number of points keeps the treatment simple and reduces the chance of pain or bruising.
- Spreading: because of its high concentration and cohesive nature, Profhilo starts spreading immediately and integrates evenly into your skin.
- Results: the skin looks brighter and smoother from around 2 weeks, and the effect continues to improve over time.
Profhilo, polynucleotides or filler?
| Profhilo | Hyaluronic acid – hydration, firmness and overall skin quality |
| Polynucleotides | Purified DNA fragments – regeneration and repair; popular for dark, crêpey under-eyes (polynucleotides) |
| Collagen biostimulators | Longer-term collagen building, e.g. Sculptra and Juläine™ |
| Dermal filler | Volume and shape for specific areas such as cheeks or lips |
Your doctor will recommend the right option – or combination – for your skin at consultation.
