What is Profhilo® treatment?

Profhilo® is an injectable hydrator which treats the skin from the inside out. Profhilo® has the highest concentration of hyaluronic acid available in aesthetics today and provides lasting and natural results.

How does Profhilo® work?

Profhilo® is injected under the skin and is specially designed to release slowly and evenly over time. Profhilo® is designed to work across the entire face rather than focusing on one area, providing natural radiance and boosting laxity. Once injected, Profhilo® distributes itself evenly, as it is naturally incorporated into the skin.

Who can have Profhilo® treatment?

The body already makes hyaluronic acid and uses it for many processes, one of which includes keeping the skin moisturised. Our body makes less HA as we age, resulting in skin that lacks elasticity, this is what causes wrinkles. Profhilo® replaces and boosts the level of hyaluronic acid production in the skin, which makes it the perfect treatment for those in their 30s and beyond who are experiencing natural loss of skin laxity.

What is the difference between Profhilo® and dermal fillers?

There is little to no downtime with Profhilo® treatment. As with all injectable treatment we recommend no extreme exercise for physical activity for the rest of the day, but you can return to work immediately after treatment and resume normal activity the day after treatment.
