What is Profhilo?

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.

How does Profhilo work?

Profhilo is administered in a series of small hyaluronic acid injections just under the skin at specific points. Profhilo's liquid consistency allows the gel to flow smoothly through the layers of skin to achieve a uniformly smooth result, increasing skin hydration, improving skin texture and over time, builds on collagen and elastin, reducing the appearance of unwanted lines.

How is it different to dermal fillers?

Dermal fillers consists of cross linked hyaluronic acid, which adds volume to targeted areas (e.g cheeks, peri oral lines) whereas Profhilo is not cross linked and spreads to a larger area. Rather than volumising, Profhilo hydrates and improves skin quality, tone and laxity.
