What is Profhilo® ?

Profhilo® is the first BDDE-free stabilised injectable hyaluronic acid (HA) based product for treating skin laxity. Profhilo® has one of the highest concentrations of HA on the market (64 mg / 2 ml). Hyaluronic acid is injected into the skin, stimulating the reproduction of new collagen and elastin. This results in improved skin tone, texture, hydration, and radiance. It also increases firmness and elasticity for healthier, rejuvenated skin.

Profhilo delivers great results as a treatment on its own and in combination with other aesthetics treatments.

Are Profhilo® Treatments safe?

Profhilo® treatments are among the safest and risk-free injectable treatments when administered by a suitably trained, qualified and experienced medical practitioner. Profhilo® is one of the safest injectable treatments due to the fact that it is composed of hyaluronic acid which is well tolerated by the human body. Our bodies naturally produce hyaluronic acid anyway, so higher levels of the acid do not trigger many potential side effects, and no long-term side effects. This is because the body metabolises and welcomes the treatment.
