Profhilo®

Profhilo is a unique injectable treatment designed to improve skin laxity and achieve a smoother, plumper appearance. Here’s a breakdown of what it is:

What is it made of?

- Profhilo is primarily composed of hyaluronic acid (HA), a substance naturally occurring in the body that plays a crucial role in skin hydration and elasticity.

Unlike dermal fillers, which add volume directly, Profhilo uses a special type of HA with a high concentration (64mg/ml) that isn’t cross-linked. This unique structure allows for:
- Sustained release: The HA in Profhilo gradually disperses throughout the tissue over time, stimulating collagen and elastin production.
- Hydration: Profhilo attracts and retains moisture, leading to a plumper and dewier complexion.

How does it work?

Profhilo targets the deeper layers of the skin, stimulating the production of collagen and elastin, the building blocks that provide structure and firmness to the skin.
This process helps to:
- Reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.
- Improve skin laxity and sagging.
- Enhance overall skin quality and texture.

What areas can be treated with Profhilo?

Profhilo is commonly used on the face, neck, décolletage (chest area), and hands, which are particularly prone to showing signs of aging.
