What is Profhilo®️?

Profhilo®️ contains one of the highest concentrations of hyaluronic acid (HA) available in an aesthetic product. Hyaluronic acid is a substance naturally present in the skin, playing an essential role in tissue repair, hydration and cell communication. One of its key properties is its ability to retain water like a sponge.

Launched in 2015, Profhilo®️ is a relatively recent treatment, but with a low risk of complications. It is composed of a combination of high and low molecular weight hyaluronic acid (64 mg of HA in a 2 ml pre-filled syringe, i.e. 32 mg of high molecular weight HA and 32 mg of low molecular weight HA). Unlike most HA-based products that are chemically cross-linked, Profhilo®️ is thermally stabilised. This process modifies the behaviour of the HA, giving it a prolonged duration of action. As no chemical cross-linking agent is present, Profhilo®️ contains pure hyaluronic acid.

Profhilo®️ is considered a bioremodelling agent rather than a simple dermal filler or biorevitaliser.

Which areas can be treated?

Profhilo®️ is administered by injection using a small needle. It is delivered in a box containing sterile needles, product labels and a pre-filled syringe, which will be opened in front of you at the start of the treatment. The label will include the product name, batch number and expiry date, which must be documented in your treatment file.

The most commonly treated area is the face, using a specific technique consisting of injecting 5 points: Bio Aesthetic Points (BAP) on each side, thereby maximising diffusion into the cheeks and lower face for better results, optimal comfort and increased safety by avoiding important structures and blood vessels.

Profhilo®️ can be used on the entire body:

• Hands
• Arms
• Knees
• Abdomen
• Buttocks

It is essential to ensure that your practitioner is trained and experienced in treating the area concerned.

How does Profhilo®️ work?

Profhilo®️ is a revolutionary technology that enables anti-ageing treatment for the face, neck and other body areas. The low molecular weight fraction promotes hydration and stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, while the high molecular weight fraction provides support and a lifting effect. Thanks to thermal stabilisation, the pure HA remains in the skin for approximately 28 days, while stimulating the production of 4 types of collagen and elastin, ensuring lasting results.

Patients can expect firmer, more elastic skin of improved quality, with effects lasting approximately six months, depending on the degree of correction required, age and lifestyle.

The facial treatment takes approximately 15 minutes and a bioremodelling protocol can be achieved in two sessions spaced four weeks apart. To maintain results, additional treatments can be carried out every 6 to 12 months.

Is the treatment painful?

Profhilo®️ does not contain lidocaine, unlike other dermal fillers, which can cause a tingling or burning sensation. Topical anaesthesia such as Emla™️ can be applied to reduce discomfort.

After the procedure, some sensitivity is possible, but significant pain is rare. In the event of intense pain, contact your practitioner immediately, as this could indicate a complication.

Is it a safe treatment?

As hyaluronic acid is a natural substance present in the skin, the treatment is safe when performed with a product from a reliable source. Counterfeit products increase the risk of adverse effects, hence the importance of consulting a qualified practitioner.

Profhilo®️ is composed of high-purity HA, without additives, making it highly biocompatible and with fewer side effects than classic fillers.
