FAQ
Profhilo is a cutting-edge injectable made from pure hyaluronic acid. Unlike dermal fillers, it doesn’t add volume or alter facial contours. Instead, it disperses beneath the skin to provide deep hydration, improve elasticity, and promote skin remodelling. By stimulating collagen and elastin production, Profhilo helps achieve smoother, firmer, and more youthful-looking skin.
Profhilo is delivered through a series of small injections just under the skin. The treatment is usually completed over two sessions, spaced four weeks apart.
-
Only 10 injection points are needed to treat the entire face.
-
The product spreads naturally within the skin, so no massage is required.
-
Patients typically notice enhanced hydration, smoother skin, and a natural glow within a few weeks.
-
To maintain results, follow-up sessions are generally recommended every six months.
-
Profhilo is primarily used for facial rejuvenation but is also highly effective on other areas prone to skin laxity, such as:
-
Neck and décolleté (chest area)
-
Hands
-
Arms
-
Knees
It is particularly popular for addressing crepey neck skin and sagging tissues that can be challenging to treat with other methods.
-
No. Although both Profhilo and dermal fillers use hyaluronic acid, they serve different purposes. Dermal fillers are used to restore volume and reshape facial contours, while Profhilo disperses evenly under the skin to enhance texture, hydration, and firmness. Unlike fillers, Profhilo does not add volume or change the shape of the face.
To achieve the best results, please follow these guidelines before your Profhilo treatment:
-
Avoid alcohol, ibuprofen, aspirin, and blood-thinning supplements (such as fish oils, garlic, Ginkgo Biloba, St. John’s Wort, and vitamins A–E) for 7 days prior, as they can increase the risk of bruising.
-
Do not attend your appointment if you are feeling unwell.
-
Inform your practitioner about all medications and supplements you are taking.
-
Arrive with no makeup on the day of your treatment.
-
Ensure you are not pregnant, breastfeeding, or experiencing active cold sores.
-
Schedule your treatment around social events, as temporary swelling, redness, or bruising may occur.
-
Following your Profhilo treatment, you should:
-
Stay upright for at least 4 hours.
-
Avoid applying pressure to the treated area for 8 hours.
-
Do not wear makeup on the treated area for 24 hours.
-
Avoid alcohol, strenuous exercise, saunas, and extreme temperatures for 24 hours.
-
If bruising occurs, it may take 7–10 days to fade. Arnica cream can help speed up recovery.
-
Avoid ibuprofen and alcohol for 24–48 hours post-treatment, as these can increase bruising.
-
Initial improvements are typically noticeable about three weeks after the second session of your first treatment cycle.
Profhilo, like all injectable treatments, is not recommended during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.
No. To target fine lines and wrinkles in the forehead or around the eyes, Anti-Wrinkle Injections are required.
After the age of 25, our skin begins to lose significant amounts of collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid, making it an ideal time to consider preventative treatments. Many people also start thinking about their first anti-wrinkle injections as early lines begin to appear. If you feel your skin has lost firmness or appears older than your age but aren’t ready for dermal fillers, Profhilo could be the ideal treatment to restore hydration, elasticity, and a more youthful appearance.
Profhilo is administered just below the skin’s surface in two sessions, spaced four weeks apart. Once injected, it spreads naturally under the skin to provide deep hydration, without the need for massage or risk of lumps or nodules. Each injection affects an area with a 2cm radius, meaning only 10 injection points are required to treat the entire face.
A full course consists of two treatments, after which you can expect improved hydration, a natural glow, smoother skin, and reduced fine lines. To maintain results, the two-session course can be repeated every six months as needed.
Profhilo is primarily used for facial rejuvenation but is also highly effective on the neck, décolleté, arms, knees, and hands. The neck has become an especially popular treatment area, as Profhilo helps reduce crepey skin and sagging while promoting a firmer, more youthful appearance. It can be used to address overall facial rejuvenation, hand rejuvenation, facial sagging, sagging neck skin, and crepey texture on the neck.
No, Profhilo is not a dermal filler. While both use hyaluronic acid, the gels are entirely different. Profhilo spreads beneath the skin to improve hydration and stimulate skin remodelling, whereas dermal fillers add volume to deep subcutaneous areas and enhance facial contours. Profhilo does not alter facial shape, directly target fine lines, or provide volumetric enhancement—it is solely used to improve skin quality, firmness, and radiance.
Profhilo
Profhilo® is an innovative injectable treatment that targets skin laxity, improves overall skin quality, and restores a youthful glow. Unlike traditional dermal fillers, Profhilo® works by stimulating the skin’s natural production of collagen and elastin, helping to smooth fine lines, reduce deeper wrinkles, and enhance facial contours for a refreshed, lifted look.
REVOLUTIONARY SKIN HYDRATION
Profhilo® works by spreading through strategically placed injection points beneath the skin, providing deep hydration and promoting bio-remodelling. This advanced treatment draws and retains water within the skin, improving tone, texture, and overall radiance, while also addressing sagging associated with ageing.
Each injection point plays a key role in enhancing elasticity, resulting in firmer, plumper, and more luminous skin. A single Profhilo® session takes around 45 minutes, making it an ideal option for those seeking effective facial rejuvenation with minimal downtime. Visible improvements in hydration and firmness can be noticed within days, with optimal results appearing about three weeks after the second session. The benefits can last up to nine months, making Profhilo® a highly effective solution for long-lasting skin rejuvenation and natural enhancement of facial contours.
