Question 1

What is Profhilo?

Accepted Answer

Profhilo is an injectable made from pure hyaluronic acid, the same moisture-attracting molecule found naturally in your skin. It contains one of the highest concentrations of hyaluronic acid on the market, and rather than filling specific lines or areas, it works to improve the overall quality of your skin.

Question 2

How does it work?

Accepted Answer

Once injected, Profhilo spreads evenly beneath the skin and stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, restoring firmness, elasticity and radiance. This process is known as bio-remodelling, and even after the product itself has broken down, your skin continues to benefit from the boost in collagen and elastin it has triggered.

Question 3

Who is it suitable for?

Accepted Answer

Profhilo is ideal if your skin is looking dull, dehydrated or less firm than it used to, or if you're starting to notice early laxity and fine lines. There's no set age for treatment; some clients begin in their late twenties or thirties to maintain their glow, while others in their forties and beyond choose it to revitalise tired skin.

Question 4

What does the treatment involve?

Accepted Answer

Profhilo is injected at five carefully mapped points on each side of the face, a technique that spreads the product evenly while avoiding major blood vessels and nerves. The treatment takes 30 mins including application of a topical numbing cream and you may notice small bumps at the injection points, which usually settle within a few hours as the product spreads.

Question 5

How many sessions will I need?

Accepted Answer

A course of two treatments, spaced four weeks apart, is recommended to begin with, followed by maintenance sessions around 6 months to keep your results looking their best.

Question 6

When will I see results?

Accepted Answer

Most patients start to see improvements three to four weeks after their first session, with results continuing to build after the second.

Question 7

How long do results last?

Accepted Answer

After completing your initial course, results typically last around six months, although this varies with your skin type, age and lifestyle. Regular maintenance helps sustain and build on your results over time.

Question 8

Is there any downtime?

Accepted Answer

Downtime is minimal and most people return to their normal routine the same day. It's best to avoid touching the area, wearing makeup or doing vigorous exercise for the rest of the day, and to avoid saunas, steam rooms and sun exposure for 24 hours. You'll receive tailored aftercare advice following your treatment.

Question 9

Is Profhilo a filler?

Accepted Answer

No. Profhilo doesn't add volume or change your facial shape or expression. Instead, it delivers natural improvements in hydration, firmness and radiance, so you look refreshed rather than "done."

Question 10

What's the difference between Profhilo and Profhilo Structura?

Accepted Answer

Original Profhilo works within the skin to improve hydration, texture and mild laxity, while Profhilo Structura is placed deeper, in the fat layer beneath the skin, to restore support and contour. The two can be combined for a complete approach.
