Profhilo

What is Profhilo?

Profhilo is an exclusive skin remodeling treatment designed for individuals with ageing skin that is lacking lacking volume and elasticity. Profhilo stimulates the production of collagen and elastin through the slow release of Hyaluronic Acid and in doing so significantly improves the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Profhilo will also increase hydration and firmness across the face resulting in an overall rejuvenated appearance. Profhilo is an injectable hyaluronic acid-based product for treating skin laxity. With one of the highest concentrations of hyaluronic acid, Profhilo is known for remodeling the ageing and sagging tissue.

After injection, Profhilo starts to work immediately. Its unique structure allows it to flow freely through the subcutaneous tissue and dermis in the target areas, creating volume evenly over 24-48 hours. The product remains in the skin for around 28 days, stimulating collagen and slowly releasing hyaluronic acid. This creates a ‘dermal scaffold’ that tightens and lifts the skin whilst boosting skin tissue quality.

Areas include the face, neck, abdomen, under arm, knees, and hands.

Two treatments per area are always required 4 weeks apart.
