Profhilo: hyaluronic acid for skin firmness and hydration, without volume

How it works

Profhilo is produced by a thermal process that combines hyaluronic acid molecules of different sizes, without the chemical cross-linking agents used in regular fillers. The result is a very concentrated yet fluid gel, which spreads through the layers of the skin from each injection point.

In the skin, the product attracts and retains water and stimulates fibroblasts to produce collagen and elastin. This is why its action is called bioremodeling: the skin becomes more hydrated, firm and elastic, with no change in the volume or features of the face.

On the face, the application follows the BAP (bio aesthetic points) technique, with five points on each side, chosen so that the product spreads evenly across the face.

Indications

• Dull skin, texture and poresDehydrated, dull skin with loss of elasticity.
• Facial skin laxityEarly laxity of the facial skin.
• Neck and décolletageThin skin, with lines and loss of firmness.

Treated areas

What a session is like

After the skin is cleaned, the doctor applies the product with a fine needle at the defined points, in a few minutes per area. Anesthesia is usually not needed, and a numbing cream can be used for added comfort.

Recovery

Right after the application, small bumps appear at the points and disappear within a few hours. There may be a small bruise. You can return to your activities on the same day.

Sessions and results

Hydration is noticed in the first weeks, and the improvement in firmness and elasticity develops over one to two months. The number of sessions and the interval between them depend on the dermatologist's individual evaluation and on each patient's clinical concern. The response varies from person to person.

Contraindications

Profhilo is not recommended during pregnancy and breastfeeding, over infections or active inflammation in the area, or for people allergic to hyaluronic acid. Active autoimmune diseases require evaluation.

At the evaluation, the dermatologist reviews your health history, current medications and previous procedures to confirm the indication.
