What is Profhilo and how does it work?

‍Profhilo is a unique type of injectable treatment that utilises a highly-concentrated form of hyaluronic acid, a naturally-occurring substance found in our skin. Hyaluronic acid plays a crucial role in maintaining the moisture and elasticity of the skin, but levels of this substance tend to decrease as we age, leading to the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, and other signs of skin ageing. The treatment works to increase the level of hyaluronic acid in the skin – differing from traditional dermal fillers – through 5 injection points of your area of concern, whether it be your face, neck, décolleté or hands.

How long does Profhilo last?

How long the results from a Profhilo treatment lasts varies depending on the individual and the treated area. On average, the results can last between 9-12 months.

How long does Profhilo take to work?

Patients notice a visible improvement in their skin’s texture and tone after just one treatment. However, you can expect to see the full results 4-6 weeks after treatment. This is because Profhilo is designed to stimulate your body’s natural production of collagen and elastin, which takes time. As Profhilo slowly releases hyaluronic acid, it begins to work with your body’s own natural processes to lift and firm your skin, reducing wrinkles and fine lines.

Is Profhilo safe?

Absolutely. Profhilo contains 100% hyaluronic acid which is a natural substance that is already present in our bodies. It can be found in our skin, joints, and connective tissues, and is responsible for keeping our skin hydrated and plump. By injecting additional hyaluronic acid into the skin, Profhilo is able to boost the body’s natural collagen and elastin production.
