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.
One of the highest concentrations of hyaluronic acid on the market, Profhilo® not only boosts 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.
Profhilo® is composed of a high concentration of hyaluronan, a carbohydrate naturally found in the skin, but decreases over time as we age. This unique formulation of Profhilo® is free from additives and is designed for precise injection beneath the skin. Its smooth consistency enables it to evenly distribute throughout the skin and underlying tissues, creating a hydrating layer while stimulating cell regeneration, including collagen and elastin production.
Treatment Focus: Profhilo® is designed to enhance hydration, elasticity, and skin quality, whereas Profhilo® Structura targets structural support, lifting, and contouring.
Results: Profhilo® delivers a subtle, natural improvement in skin texture, while Profhilo® Structura provides more noticeable lifting and enhancement of facial contours.
Patient Suitability: Both treatments can be used on similar areas, but the choice depends on the patient's needs—whether it's hydration and overall skin rejuvenation (Profhilo®) or more significant lifting and structural support (Profhilo® Structura).
Profhilo® targets skin laxity and helps rejuvenate aging, sagging, and crepey skin. It hydrates the skin and stimulates collagen and elastin production, which tightens, lifts, and enhances skin quality, providing a more youthful appearance. Results typically last 6-9 months, although the duration may vary depending on the patient's skin type and age.
Profhilo® uses ultra-pure hyaluronic acid, which is precisely injected into the treatment area. Unlike traditional wrinkle treatments or dermal fillers, it stimulates the production of collagen and elastin while attracting moisture to deeper skin layers.
As a stabilized product, Profhilo® has a prolonged effect on dermal cells, enabling a slow release of hyaluronic acid that stimulates four types of collagen and elastin. This process leads to significant improvements in skin tissue, offering a tightening and lifting effect in addition to boosting skin quality. Hence, Profhilo® is more than just a skin booster.
Revitalize your skin with Profhilo®, a hyaluronic acid-based treatment that deeply hydrates and improves skin elasticity. This innovative solution helps restore firmness and provides a natural lifting effect, perfect for areas with skin laxity like the face, neck, and hands. Profhilo® stimulates collagen and elastin production, offering long-lasting rejuvenation and enhanced skin texture.
