General Information

• Q: What is Profhilo?

  • A: Profhilo is an injectable treatment made of highly purified hyaluronic acid. It's designed to bio-remodel the skin, improving hydration, elasticity, and overall skin quality. It is not a traditional dermal filler or a wrinkle relaxer.

• Q: How is Profhilo different from dermal fillers?

  • A: While both Profhilo and dermal fillers contain hyaluronic acid, they serve different purposes. Fillers add volume to specific areas, while Profhilo spreads within the skin to improve hydration and stimulate collagen and elastin production for overall skin rejuvenation.

• Q: What is bio-remodeling?

  • A: Bio-remodeling refers to Profhilo's ability to stimulate the skin's natural processes of collagen and elastin production, leading to improved skin structure and appearance.

• Q: Who is suitable for Profhilo treatments?

  • A: Profhilo is suitable for individuals experiencing skin laxity, dryness, and a loss of firmness. It's ideal for those seeking overall skin rejuvenation rather than targeted volume enhancement. A consultation with a qualified practitioner is necessary to determine individual suitability.

Treatment Process

• Q: How is Profhilo administered?

  • A: Profhilo is injected into specific points on the face or neck (typically 5 Bio Aesthetic Points on each side of the face) using a very fine needle. This technique ensures even distribution of the product.

  • A: A typical Profhilo treatment session usually takes about 30 minutes, including consultation and preparation.

• Q: How many Profhilo treatments are needed?

• Q: When will I see results from Profhilo?

  • A: You may notice some initial improvement in skin hydration shortly after the first treatment. However, the most significant results, such as improved elasticity and skin quality, will become visible a few weeks after the second treatment, as collagen and elastin production are stimulated.
