Profhilo: the elegance of intensely hydrated and naturally firm skin
Bright skin isn't just a cosmetic matter: it reflects balance, hydration and tissue quality. As time passes, the natural reduction of hyaluronic acid, collagen and elastin can make the face less firm, the complexion less uniform and the contours softer.
Profhilo is a treatment of Aesthetic medicine Dedicated to those who wish to naturally improve skin quality, without altering facial features or resorting to invasive procedures. An essential and refined medical gesture, designed to restore a fresher, toned, and radiant appearance to the skin.
What is Profhilo?
Profhilo is an injectable treatment based on ultrapure hyaluronic acid, obtained by combining high and low molecular weight hyaluronic acid through the patented NAHYCO® thermal technology.
Its formulation, free from cross-linking agents such as BDDE, allows the product to diffuse homogeneously into tissues and exert a bioremodelling action. The objective is not to create volume, but to help improve skin hydration, elasticity and firmness, promoting physiological processes related to collagen and elastin production.
Unlike traditional Hyaluronic acid fillers, studied to redefine facial volumes and proportions, Profhilo is particularly indicated for those who wish to address skin quality and signs of dehydration or initial laxity.
Benefits of Profhilo
Profhilo can be recommended to combat the first signs of skin ageing or to visibly improve dull, dehydrated, or less elastic skin.
Among the main treatment objectives:
– Improve deep skin hydration
– Restore radiance and uniformity to the complexion
– To promote greater skin firmness
– Reduce the appearance of fine lines and micro-wrinkles
To counteract the loss of elasticity associated with time
– Enhance the face without altering its expressiveness
The desired result is subtle and progressive: skin that looks more rested, vital, and naturally cared for.
The Profhilo treatment protocol
The Profhilo treatment is carried out by the doctor using small injections at selected points on the area to be treated. For the face, the BAP, Bio Aesthetic Points, protocol can be used, a map of anatomical points designed to promote uniform diffusion of the product and make the procedure more efficient.
The session generally lasts for approximately 30 minutes. After thoroughly cleansing the skin, the doctor proceeds with the micro-injections and provides the most appropriate post-treatment instructions.
In most protocols, the initial path comprises:
- A first treatment session
- A second session after about 4 weeks
- A third session after 6 months
Based on skin quality, age, the area treated, and clinical objectives, your doctor can recommend personalised follow-up treatments over time.
The areas that can be treated with Profhilo
Profhilo's versatility allows for the treatment of some of the areas most exposed to the signs of dehydration and skin laxity:
Faceto improve brightness, hydration and elasticity without adding volume
Collofor visibly smoother and firmer skin
CleavageTo treat a thin and delicate area, often marked by sun exposure and dehydration
Handto improve skin appearance and give a fresher, more cared-for look
Arms and other body areas: when indicated by the doctor after clinical assessment
Results and duration of treatment
Profhilo acts gradually. In the days and weeks following treatment, the skin may appear more hydrated, luminous, and plumped. The improvement in skin quality tends to develop progressively, especially after completing the initial protocol.
The duration of the results is variable: it depends on individual characteristics, degree of laxity, lifestyle, sun exposure and daily skincare. To maintain the achieved effect over time, the doctor may recommend maintenance sessions.
Comfort, safety and recovery times
The treatment is generally well tolerated. Injections may cause mild and temporary discomfort, which can be managed during the session. Afterwards, small lumps, redness, swelling or bruising may appear at the injection sites: these are generally temporary effects.
In most cases, you can resume your normal daily activities immediately after the procedure. For the first few hours, your doctor may suggest avoiding strenuous physical activity, exposure to heat sources, saunas, Turkish baths, and manipulation of the treated area.
