Why should I choose Profhilo?
As we age, our skin naturally loses collagen, elastin, and moisture, leading to a loss of firmness and a crepey texture. Profhilo is chosen by patients who want to improve overall skin quality and subtle tightness without changing their natural facial shape or adding artificial volume.
How does the treatment work?
Profhilo uses pure hyaluronic acid that is injected into five key points on each side of the face (the BAP technique). Once injected, it flows smoothly through the tissue layers. It acts as a deep internal hydrator while stimulating your skin cells to produce fresh collagen and elastin, gradually lifting and smoothing the tissue over several weeks.
Where on my face can be treated?
Mid & Lower Face: The main target area to firm cheeks, smooth smile lines, and tighten sagging skin around the jawline.
Neck: Softening horizontal neck lines and improving loose skin texture.
Hands & Décolletage: Profhilo can also be used on delicate skin areas prone to crepiness and sun damage.

Preparation, Guidelines & Side Effects
Be sure to prepare for your treatment by following any and all advice given by your practitioner
01
Clinical Assessment & Mapping
Your clinician assesses your skin quality and marks the 5 specific Bio-Aesthetic Points (BAP) on each side of your face to ensure optimal product placement.
02
Skin Preparation
The treatment area is thoroughly cleansed with a cooling clinical antiseptic. Topical numbing cream can be applied beforehand if you have sensitive skin.
03
Precise Bio-Injections
Using a very fine needle, small amounts of Profhilo are placed into the deeper skin layers at the marked points. The injections take less than 10 minutes.
04
Aftercare & Recovery Guidance
We soothe the skin, explain your quick homecare rules, and schedule your mandatory second session 4 weeks later for full bio-remodelling results.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q: Is Profhilo the same as a dermal filler?
A: No. While both contain hyaluronic acid, dermal fillers are thicker gels designed to create structure and volume in specific spots (like lips or chin). Profhilo is a fluid gel that spreads evenly to improve skin quality, tightness, and hydration across the whole face without altering your natural shape.
Q: Why do I need two sessions?
A: The first session triggers the initial hydration and collagen stimulation. The second session, booked 4 weeks later, cements the bio-remodelling process to ensure long-lasting firmness and optimal elasticity.
Q: When will I see results?
A: You will notice an immediate improvement in skin hydration within the first week. True structural firming and smoothing build gradually as new collagen forms, with peak results showing around 4 weeks after your second session.
