What Is Profhilo?

Profhilo consists of ultrapure, stabilised hyaluronic acid designed for dermal regeneration rather than direct volumisation. Its unique viscosity profile allows for controlled diffusion, promoting hydration at the cellular level and encouraging endogenous collagen and elastin formation. This mechanism addresses early signs of dermal thinning in the face, neck, décolletage, and hands, areas frequently affected by diminished skin thickness. Manufactured with NAHYCO® Hybrid Technology, it ensures efficient biocompatibility and minimal post-injection reactions.

How Profhilo Works

After injection, Profhilo flows beneath the surface and distributes itself evenly. This unique diffusion stimulates fibroblasts (collagen-producing cells), improving elasticity and firmness while enhancing hydration.

Most patients require just two sessions, spaced four weeks apart. Results build gradually and naturally. You can expect healthier, more luminous skin with improved tone and texture.

Profhilo doesn’t change your facial features but more simply, it revitalises the skin from within.

Anti‑Ageing Benefits of Profhilo

Details	Description
Enhanced Tissue Hydration	Improves the skin‘s ability to attract and retain moisture, contributing to improved elasticity and barrier function.

Improved Skin Integrity & Texture	Contributes to enhanced skin barrier function and cellular health, leading to improved texture and resilience.
Supports Natural Restoration	Works by augmenting the skin’s own regenerative capacities, aiming for physiological improvements without artificial alteration.

The Treatment Process: What to Expect

Consultation

Your treatment journey commences with a comprehensive medical consultation. This involves a thorough assessment of your relevant medical history and skin condition to determine your suitability for Profhilo. We will discuss the diagnosed concerns, the nature of the treatment, the anticipated physiological responses, and establish a personalised treatment plan, including aftercare protocols.

The Profhilo Procedure

Profhilo is administered via injection at specific, predetermined anatomical points, typically five on each side of the treatment area, using a fine-gauge needle. This technique facilitates optimal distribution and therapeutic effect. The procedure generally takes approximately 30 minutes and is usually well-tolerated.

Post-Procedure Care & Observations

Following the procedure, it is common to observe small, raised papules at the injection sites; these typically resolve within 24 hours. Mild, transient erythema (redness) or tenderness may also occur and usually subsides quickly.
You will be advised on specific post-treatment care, which includes avoiding alcohol, strenuous physical activity, and significant sun exposure for 24–48 hours.

Results and Recovery

Initial improvements in skin hydration may be noticeable within a few days. The primary therapeutic effect, resulting from the stimulation of collagen and elastin synthesis, develops progressively over several weeks, with optimal outcomes typically observed 4–6 weeks post-treatment.
A structured treatment course, usually involving a second session four weeks after the first, is required to achieve the desired clinical endpoint. The duration of the therapeutic effects typically lasts around six months.

Subsequent maintenance treatments, as part of an ongoing management plan, may be recommended every 6–9 months to sustain the skin’s improved condition.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the safety profile of Profhilo?

Profhilo is a CE–marked medical product, confirming its adherence to rigorous safety requirements for therapeutic use in skin treatments. It is composed of highly pure, stabilised hyaluronic acid, and is free from chemical cross–linking agents, enhancing its biocompatibility. Profhilo is engineered to integrate naturally within the skin’s layers, and extensive clinical use supports its safety, with a very low incidence of side effects when applied correctly within a medical framework.

Is the Profhilo procedure painful?

Patient comfort is a priority. The Profhilo treatment involves injections with very fine needles designed to cause minimal discomfort. Individual experiences vary, but the sensation is usually brief and slight. The procedure is performed efficiently, and specific techniques are used to ensure it is as comfortable as possible without the routine need for anaesthetic agents.

Are there any side effects or downtime?

Common side effects include redness, tenderness or small bumps at the injection site, which usually resolve within 24–48 hours. Serious side effects are very rare with expert practitioners.

When can I expect to see changes, and what is the duration of the outcome?

When can I expect to see changes, and what is the duration of the outcome? Patients may observe early signs of increased skin hydration shortly after the initial treatment. More significant improvements in skin elasticity, firmness, and overall texture become noticeable over a period of 4–6 weeks as the bioremodelling process takes effect. Once an initial course of treatment is completed, the positive impact on skin health and structure can be expected to last for up to 6 months.

How many treatments will I need?

For optimal results, we recommend two sessions spaced four weeks apart. Maintenance every 6–9 months can prolong results.

Who is considered a suitable candidate for Profhilo treatment?

Profhilo may be indicated for individuals presenting with clinical signs such as skin dehydration, reduced elasticity, or early manifestations of skin ageing. While it can be appropriate for various skin types and adult age groups, a comprehensive medical consultation is crucial. Profhilo is contraindicated in pregnancy, during breastfeeding, or in the presence of certain medical conditions. Your suitability will be thoroughly assessed by your medical practitioner during your consultation to ensure it is a safe and appropriate treatment for your specific circumstances.
