Is Profhilo worth it?

What is Profhilo treatment?

Offering some of the benefits of traditional fillers, skin boosters and mesotherapy without the need for an invasive procedure, Profhilo is a revolutionary injectable gel treatment which supplements the reduced production of natural hyaluronic acid seen with ageing.

Profhilo works with your skin tissue cells to stimulate collagen and elastin production in the face, providing deep hydration and improving skin laxity. Once injected, the high grade hyaluronic acid gel spreads slowly and evenly throughout the face, resulting in a more subtle and natural youthful look.

While the original Profhilo is typically used on the face, IBSA has introduced two more products to its portfolio: Profhilo Body and, just six months ago, the revolutionary Profhilo Structura.

Profhilo Structura takes technology to the next level with it’s ability to restore lost fat tissue, to counteract the signs of ageing. Whether ageing effects on the face include hollowing or sagging, Profhilo Structure uses a high grade dose of hyaluronic acid to strengthen connective tissue and enhance facial contours, for a firmer facial appearance.

What are the types of Profhilo?

Profhilo offers a range of treatments designed to address various signs of aging by utilising hyaluronic acid (HA) to enhance skin hydration, elasticity, and firmness. Here's an overview of the three distinct Profhilo treatments including also Profhilo Figura, a body cream which compliments the benefits of professional care at home:

Profhilo

Profhilo is an advanced hyaluronic acid treatment designed to deeply hydrate, firm, and rejuvenate the skin. It’s injected at five strategic points on each side of the face—targeting areas like the cheeks, jawline, and chin—to allow the hyaluronic acid to spread evenly for optimal results. This technique promotes collagen and elastin production, enhancing skin texture and resilience. Profhilo is ideal for creating a natural, refreshed appearance by reducing fine lines and subtly lifting the skin, without adding volume or altering facial contours.

Profhilo Body

Profhilo Body is specifically formulated to treat skin laxity in areas such as the inner arms, knees, neck, décolletage and abdomen. This injectable treatment utilises a hybrid complex of high and low molecular weight hyaluronic acid to remodel tissue and improve skin firmness. The procedure involves minimal injections, while maximising product diffusion within the tissues.

Profhilo Structura

Profhilo Structura is an advanced injectable treatment aimed at restoring facial volume and contour by targeting superficial fat layers. As we age, the movement and loss of fat within facial compartments can lead to hollowing and sagging. Profhilo Structura addresses these issues by regenerating and repositioning fat layers, resulting in a more lifted and naturally contoured facial profile without the appearance of artificial enhancement.

Profhilo Figura

Profhilo Figura Body Cream is a multi-active remodeling and toning cream that provides tone, elasticity, and deep hydration, featuring a fast-absorbing, silky-rich texture. . Infused with hyaluronic acid and synergistic ingredients, it helps to restore moisture balance while promoting skin regeneration and resilience. The cream’s lightweight, fast-absorbing texture makes it ideal for daily use, leaving the skin feeling smoother, toned, and revitalised. It’s an excellent complement to in-clinic treatments like Profhilo Body, extending the benefits of professional care at home.

Each of these Profhilo treatments is designed to address specific aging concerns, providing tailored solutions to enhance skin health and appearance.

What does Profhilo do to your face?

During a 30 minute session, high grade hyaluronic acid-based Profhilo is injected into the deep dermis, with first results visible in just three weeks. A second session spaced after 4 weeks completes the treatment, resulting in tighter skin, texture correction and a reduction in fine lines and wrinkles.

Following Profhilo treatment, patients should expect to see hydrated, glowing skin with increased firmness. Patients may see an improvement in skin surface texture, as well as a tightening of the skin.

Undeniably the best way to see the benefits is to compare the “Before & After” from some of our Profhilo patients here.

How long does Profhilo last?

A Profhilo treatment can last for 3-4 months,however as with any cosmetic treatment, longevity can vary depending ontreatment site and number of treatments. Lifestyle and metabolic factors, forexample more frequent cardio workouts or even smoking, can break downhyaluronic acid faster. We suggest maintenance treatments for up to three -four months after completion of full treatment in order to increase longevity.

‍

Is Profhilo safe?

In short, yes, Profhilo has a good safety profile. Thanks to this treatment’s hyaluronic acid based formulation, it rarely results in serious complications. Injecting just below the skin’s surface reduces the likelihood of risks, as major vessels and arteries are typically located in deeper anatomical layers. But rest assured, when you’re treated at the Anti Wrinkle Clinic you will always be in the safe hands of a medical professional with extensive experience and the skills to handle possible complications.

Profhilo contains pure grade hyaluronic acid and is the first BDDE-free stabilised HA-based gel.

‍

Is there a downside to Profhilo treatment?

Although it’s generally well-tolerated, some people may experience mild swelling, bruising, or redness at injection sites. Since it provides subtle results, it may not be suitable for those seeking significant volume restoration. Additionally, results typically last 3-6 months, requiring maintenance treatments for continued benefits.

‍

Does Profhilo treatment work?

Profhilo boasts one of the strongest, highest grade concentrations of hyaluronic acid making it a highly effective treatment to support your skin cells’ natural function. Every person and their skin is unique so the most effective Profhilo product for you will depend on the area you want to treat.

For a natural looking and more subtle anti-ageing treatment for the face, Profhilo is the ideal solution to improving skin laxity, texture and reducing fine lines and wrinkles. For deeper treatment, for more advanced ageing complaints, Profhilo structura targets problem areas to restore fat tissue, enhancing facial structure and increasing firmness.

For areas of loose skin elsewhere on the body, such as the arms, inner thighs and abdomen, Profhilo Body may be the optimal treatment. Profhilo Body works with your own skin cells to stimulate collagen and elastin production, but unlike the original variant is specially formulated for use on larger areas.
