Profhilo has been hailed as a revolutionary product for restoring skin lacking in lustre, volume and glow. Profhilo is an injectable skin treatment which produces a refreshed, plump yet natural look, perfect if you would like to rewind the clock or get your skin glowing. Profhilo is fast becoming a new favourite treatment with our Birmingham patients who like their skin to glow.
Profhilo is a popular treatment made from hyaluronic acid in order to treat skin laxity and improve skin quality leaving the skin brighter, smoother and firm.
While Profhilo uses hyaluronic acid, which is injected into the skin similar to dermal filler, Profhilo is not a dermal filler. Unlike hyaluronic acid dermal fillers, Profhilo has a runnier consistency meaning that as it is injected into the skin, it spreads within a 2cm radius. It then spreads under the skin’s surface where it immediately hydrates deep within the skin. Profhilo is a new generation of hyaluronic acid gel that delivers dramatic improvements to the skin’s hydration and the skin's quality.

As a stabilised product Profhilo lasts in the skin around 28 days. During this time the stimulation of 4 different types of collagen and elastin takes place by slow release of Hyaluronic Acid.
Profhilo® acts as a hydrator rather than a filler. It is injected just under the surface of the skin, where it disperses quickly and reacts with your own tissues to instantly boost hydration. On the face, only 5 injection points are necessary on each side of the face to give maximum results. Over the following 4 weeks, phase 2 will boost collagen and elastin production within the dermis. This helps to give the skin a youthful, plump, smooth and firm appearance.
Profhilo® can be used as a stand-alone treatment or in conjunction with other dermal fillers, laser treatments or Anti-Wrinkle Injections as part of a holistic approach to skin remodelling and revitalisation.
As Profhilo is injected just under the skin using very fine needles in pre-determined points, it is relatively painless; you may feel a short sting or scratch, but this is short-lived. Patients can opt for topical pain relief or anaesthetic before a Profhilo® treatment, but it is usually not needed.
The procedure is very quick, taking only about 10 minutes.
Initially you will need a 'loading dose' of Profhilo. The amount of treatments this involves will depend on your skin, but it is usually 2 or 3 treatments, 4 weeks apart. Once you have had the 'loading dose' you will need to top up your Profhilo every 3 months for optimum results.
