PROFHILO is a non-crosslinked hyaluronic acid that belongs to the skin booster family, meaning it boosts collagen and elastin production in the dermis. PROFHILO is an injectable product utilizing innovative technology that combines two types of hyaluronic acid molecules: low molecular weight hyaluronic acid helps hydrate the skin, while high molecular weight hyaluronic acid tightens loose tissues. PROFHILO provides a lifting effect and intense hydration for skin lacking firmness. The results are natural—the skin is smoothed, nourished, and deeply repaired, with a significantly improved texture and no alteration to facial features. The primary treatment areas are the face and neck, though other areas such as the décolleté, backs of the hands, arms, abdomen, or above the knees can also be treated. Injections are administered in the form of small “boluses” or tiny beads under the skin. These may be visible immediately after the session but will quickly dissipate within a few minutes to hours. The injections are not painful, and there is no need for prior application of numbing cream. Rare bruising may occur after treatment but can be easily concealed, and normal activities can be resumed immediately.
However, sports should be avoided for 24 hours, and massaging the treated area is not recommended for two weeks. For optimal results, two injections spaced one month apart are required. Subsequently, maintenance with one injection every 6 to 12 months is recommended. This treatment is reassuring due to the simplicity of the injection process and the fact that it does not alter the natural appearance of the face.
