What is Profhilo®?
Profhilo® is an injectable treatment used for skin rejuvenation and hydration. It features a patented formulation of hyaluronic acid (HA), a naturally occurring substance in the skin that helps maintain hydration and volume.
Unlike traditional dermal fillers, which are designed to add volume or fill wrinkles, Profhilo is classified as a "bio-remodelling" or "biostimulating" treatment. This means it works by stimulating the production of collagen and elastin in the skin, promoting overall skin quality and elasticity.
The treatment involves injecting Profhilo into specific areas of the face or body, where it spreads evenly to hydrate and rejuvenate the skin. It can improve skin texture, tone, and elasticity, resulting in a more youthful and radiant appearance. Profhilo is particularly effective for addressing sagging skin and improving skin laxity, making it a popular choice for those seeking a natural-looking enhancement without the use of traditional fillers. The effects typically last for several months, and many patients choose to have maintenance treatments to sustain their results

How does Profhilo® work?
Profhilo® functions through a unique mechanism that stimulates the production of collagen and elastin in the skin, leading to enhanced hydration, firmness, and overall skin quality. Here’s how it works:
Hydration and Bio-Remodelling
Profhilo® is composed of a patented formulation of hyaluronic acid (HA), a naturally occurring substance in the skin that plays a vital role in maintaining hydration and volume. Unlike traditional dermal fillers designed to add volume to specific areas, Profhilo is classified as a "bio-remodelling" or "biostimulating" treatment. When injected into the skin using a specific technique, Profhilo® disperses within the dermis and attracts water molecules, effectively hydrating the skin from within.
Stimulation of Collagen and Elastin
In addition to providing hydration, Profhilo® stimulates the production of collagen and elastin fibers in the skin. These proteins are essential for skin firmness, elasticity, and overall structure. As Profhilo gradually releases hyaluronic acid molecules into the skin, it triggers a biological response that activates fibroblasts—the cells responsible for producing collagen and elastin. This process, known as bio-stimulation, helps to remodel and rejuvenate the skin from within, resulting in improved firmness, elasticity, and texture.
Uniform Distribution
A unique characteristic of Profhilo® is its ability to spread and integrate within the skin, providing hydration and bio-remodelling effects across a larger area rather than targeting specific wrinkles or folds. This is achieved through the unique composition and viscosity of Profhilo®, allowing it to diffuse evenly within the skin tissue and stimulate collagen and elastin production throughout the treated area.
Natural-Looking Results
The gradual and natural stimulation of collagen and elastin by Profhilo® leads to subtle yet noticeable improvements in skin quality without the volume-enhancing effects of traditional fillers. This results in a more youthful, refreshed appearance with improved hydration, firmness, and overall skin health.
This innovative approach makes Profhilo® a popular choice for individuals seeking to enhance their skin's appearance and maintain a youthful glow without invasive procedures.
