Profhilo: Everything you need to know

Profhilo is an innovative skin booster for younger-looking, moisturized, and glowing skin. Profhilo is known as a bio-remodeling treatment that consists of the purest and most concentrated type of hyaluronic acid available. It stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, two proteins required for maintaining youthful and supple skin. As we age, elastin fibers become more prone to wear and strain, and collagen synthesis naturally decreases. By working to replenish the deposits of these vital fibers, this simple treatment can assist in slowing down the pace of skin aging and maintaining a youthful appearance.

What is Profhilo used for?

Profhilo is an injectable therapy that may be used to increase the skin’s moisture content and encourage the synthesis of collagen and elastin. It may be applied to various areas of the body, including the face, neck, décolletage, and hands, and is designed to improve the appearance and texture of the skin. Profhilo is intended to provide deep hydration to the skin, promoting a firmer, plumper complexion.

Profhilo is a non-invasive treatment that requires minimal downtime, making it an attractive option for those who want to achieve rejuvenated skin without undergoing surgery or worrying about a long recovery period. Profhilo is suitable for all skin types and tones, making it a versatile option for a wide range of patients.

How does Profhilo work?

Profhilo is an injectable gel made of highly concentrated hyaluronic acid. It works by promoting the synthesis of collagen and elastin in the skin, which can enhance skin elasticity and suppleness. Profhilo is injected superficially into the dermal layer of the skin, which allows the hyaluronic acid to spread evenly throughout the target area, providing a more natural-looking result.

How does Profhilo differ from HA-based dermal fillers?

Both Profhilo and traditional HA-based dermal fillers contain hyaluronic acid, but they differ in their intended use and formulation. Most HA-based dermal fillers are designed to add volume and enhance the contours of the face, while Profhilo is intended to improve skin hydration and stimulate collagen production. Additionally, HA-based dermal fillers are typically administered deep into the dermis to target problem areas, while Profhilo is injected superficially and spreads evenly throughout the treatment area. Finally, HA-based dermal fillers are often formulated with a thicker, more viscous HA gel, while Profhilo contains a highly concentrated and purified form of HA that is more fluid.

The choice between dermal fillers and Profhilo depends on the individual’s specific needs and goals. If the goal is to improve the overall hydration, firmness, and elasticity of the skin, then Profhilo may be the better option. If you need to add volume to and contour specific areas of the face, or reduce deep wrinkles and folds, then dermal fillers may be more effective. For an all-over improved appearance, many patients use Profhilo in combination with dermal fillers and other injectable treatments. In any case, it is important to consult a qualified healthcare professional to determine which treatment is best suited for each individual patient.

Is Profhilo safe to use?

There are no known serious side effects associated with the use of Profhilo, and it is generally considered safe when administered by a qualified healthcare professional in aseptic conditions. However, as with any injectable treatment, there is a risk of minor side effects such as redness, swelling, and bruising at the injection site. These adverse reactions normally subside in a few days. It is also important to note that Profhilo should only be administered by a qualified healthcare professional who has received specific training in the use of the product.

Does that mean that anyone can have treatment with Profhilo?

While Profhilo is generally considered safe, not everyone is a suitable candidate for the treatment. It should be avoided by individuals who are pregnant or breastfeeding, as there is not enough clinical research to determine its safety in these patient groups. Additionally, individuals with certain medical conditions or who are taking certain medications may not be eligible for treatment with Profhilo. If there is a known hypersensitivity or allergic reaction to HA, the product is also not advised to be used. It is important to consult with a qualified healthcare professional to determine if Profhilo is an appropriate treatment option for you.

What does the treatment involve and how long do Profhilo results last?

Profhilo treatment is a non-surgical, minimally invasive procedure that involves the injection of hyaluronic acid into the superficial layer of the skin. To ensure even distribution of the substance, the treatment requires several injection spots, usually five on each side of the face. The suggested protocol is two sessions separated by four weeks. The procedure requires little-to-no downtime, and patients can return to their regular lives right away. For 24 hours after the treatment, patients are advised to refrain from intense activity, alcohol consumption, and sun exposure.

According to sources, the effects of Profhilo treatment can last up to six months. However, individual results may vary depending on factors such as age, skin type, and lifestyle. It is recommended that patients undergo a follow-up treatment every six months to maintain optimal results.
