Profhilo is an innovative and highly effective skin rejuvenation treatment that has gained popularity for its ability to improve skin hydration, firmness, and elasticity. This guide explains how Profhilo works, its benefits, potential risks, side effects, and essential aftercare advice.
Definition: Profhilo is an injectable treatment made of stabilised hyaluronic acid (HA) designed to improve skin quality by deeply hydrating and stimulating collagen and elastin production.
Purpose: It treats skin laxity, smooths fine lines, and enhances overall skin radiance.
Unique Feature: Unlike traditional dermal fillers, Profhilo spreads beneath the skin for widespread rejuvenation rather than adding volume.
Skin Concerns Addressed:
- Dull, dehydrated skin
- Loss of skin elasticity
- Fine lines and crepey texture
- Mild sagging
Mechanism: Profhilo contains a high concentration of pure hyaluronic acid.
Once injected, it diffuses across the skin, attracting water and deeply hydrating tissues.
It stimulates collagen and elastin production to restore firmness and elasticity.
Technique: Administered using the BAP (Bio Aesthetic Points) technique, which involves five injection points on each side of the face for optimal diffusion and minimal discomfort.
Duration: Results typically develop over 4–8 weeks after two treatments spaced 4 weeks apart. Maintenance is usually recommended every 6–9 months.
Risks
Allergic Reactions: Rare due to the biocompatibility of hyaluronic acid.
Infection: Possible if proper hygiene protocols are not followed during the procedure.
Side Effects
Common:
- Redness at the injection sites
- Mild swelling or tenderness
- Bruising around the treated areas
Rare:
- Formation of small lumps or nodules at injection points
- Temporary asymmetry if swelling is uneven
Profhilo is an excellent choice for individuals seeking natural, non-invasive skin rejuvenation.
By deeply hydrating and improving skin elasticity, it delivers glowing, youthful results with minimal downtime.
As with any injectable treatment, it’s essential to choose a skilled practitioner and follow the proper aftercare routine to achieve the best results.
Profhilo may not be suitable for:
- Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals.
- Those with severe skin infections or active inflammation in the treatment area.
- People with a history of severe allergies or sensitivity to hyaluronic acid.
