The first of its kind, Profhilo® is a revolutionary ‘beneath the skin’ hyaluronic acid moisturising treatment, made with the patented NAHYCO® technology. This results in a unique hyaluronic acid injectable gel, which has a prolonged stimulating activity on the dermal cells. When injected into skin, Profhilo® stimulates the skin cell receptors to counteract skin laxity and improve and restore firmness of the skin.

With Profhilo being one of the highest concentrations of hyaluronic acid on the market, not only boasts and hydrates the skin, but also remodels ageing and sagging tissue. The most common areas of treatment include the face and neck and can also be used for the décolletage, hands, arms, knees, and abdomen area where it would effectively treat skin laxity. The treatment is suitable for men and women as well as offering skin benefits for patients of all ages.

Ultra-pure hyaluronic acid is meticulously injected into the area being treated. Unlike anti-wrinkle and dermal filler treatments, Profhilo® stimulates collagen and elastin, attracting water in the deeper layers of the skin. As a stabilised product, the activity on dermal cells will last longer than that of a non-stabilised gel. During this time the stimulation of four different types of collagen and elastin takes place by slow release of hyaluronic acid.

The stimulation results in significant tissue improvement. Profhilo is an advancement on regular Skin booster as it also has a significant tightening / lifting effect on the tissue.

Common side-effects of Profhilo® are like other types of fillers and include mild bruising and swelling. Risks are the same as other fillers
and can include allergic reaction or infection, although these are exceptionally rare. Risks and side effects of the treatment will be discussed within your initial consultation.

The downtime is minimal. When injected using the five-point BAP technique on each side of the face, each profhilo injection is
immediately noticeable, leaving a small mosquito type lump beneath the skin. However, they start diffusing very quickly and they disappear completely by the next day. After the treatment, we recommend avoiding physical strain and sports for 24 hours. Please also avoid having further cosmetic procedures for 48 hours. It is not recommended to have sauna or steamy bath for the first few days either as this can cause swelling. It’s best to stay out of the sun if any bruising or prolonged swelling occurs.

Patients can expect to see results after two sessions.

Hyaluronic Acid is very well tolerated by the skin. The only reported side effects are bruising and mild swelling at the injection sites. These generally disappear in a short period of time and are associated with the needle, not the product.

Profhilo® was launched in February 2015 in Italy. It’s been used worldwide ever since. Over 150,000 patients have been treated so far
with no adverse reactions reported. From a safety perspective, Profhilo®  is highly biocompatible. That’s because it is made from
ultrapure, natural Hyaluronic Acid and is stabilised without the addition of chemical cross-linking agents and is combined thermally.
This reduces the risk of adverse reactions.

We do not recommend that you have any injectable treatments if you suspect or can confirm that you are pregnant. We also recommend that you have finished breastfeeding before returning for your aesthetic treatments.
