Profhilo® | Hyaluronic Acid Skin Booster
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.
Ultra-pure hyaluronic acid is precisely injected into the area being treated. Unlike wrinkle reducing and dermal filler treatments, Profhilo® stimulates collagen and elastin, attracting water in the deeper layers of the skin.
As a stabilised product, the activity on dermal cells will last longer than that of a non-stabilised gel. During this time the stimulation of four different types of collagen and elastin takes place by slow release of hyaluronic acid.

Some patients may experience mild redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection sites, which usually resolves within a few days.
-
Refrain from touching or rubbing the treated areas immediately after the Profhilo treatment to minimise the risk of irritation or infection.
For the first 24 to 48 hours post-treatment, avoid strenuous exercise, hot baths, saunas, or steam rooms, as heat can exacerbate swelling or bruising. If you experience mild swelling or bruising, use cold compresses wrapped in a cloth on the treated areas to reduce discomfort and inflammation. Avoid direct contact with ice.
