What is Profhilo?
Profhilo is a unique bio-remodelling injectable treatment made from ultrapure hyaluronic acid with no chemical cross-linking. Because it is uncross-linked, it spreads evenly under the skin rather than staying in one place, creating an even layer of hydration and triggering the production of all four types of collagen and elastin. The result is skin that looks and feels measurably firmer, smoother and more radiant.
Profhilo is not a dermal filler and does not add structural volume. Its role is to profoundly improve skin quality. It is commonly used on the face, neck and hands, and is particularly effective on crepey or lax skin where hydration and elasticity have been lost. Treatment requires just two sessions spaced four weeks apart.
With minimal downtime and discomfort and a low injection count, Profhilo suits all ages as a way to maintain, promote and repair skin health. It also combines well with other skin-tightening and rejuvenation procedures, improving tissue quality and prolonging results.

What to expect from Profhilo
- Step 1
Consultation
Your skin is assessed and your goals discussed. Your practitioner confirms the treatment areas and explains what to expect from the two-session protocol.
- Step 2
Treatment
Profhilo is injected at specific anatomical points using a fine needle. The session takes around thirty minutes with no numbing cream required. The product then spreads naturally through the tissue.
- Step 3
Second session and review
A second session is carried out four weeks later to consolidate the bio-remodelling effect. Results continue to improve in the weeks that follow as collagen production increases.
Small raised bumps at each injection point are expected and normally settle within a few hours, occasionally taking up to 24 hours. Mild redness, tenderness or bruising can occur and resolves quickly. Do not massage or rub the treated areas: the product is designed to spread evenly by itself, and pressing it around works against that. Leave make-up off for at least 12 hours, and avoid facials and other facial treatments for two weeks. Keep away from saunas, steam rooms, hot baths, swimming pools, strenuous exercise and alcohol for 24 to 48 hours, and avoid extreme cold and direct sun while the skin settles. A second session is needed four weeks after the first to complete the treatment, so book it before you leave. Results build gradually as the skin remodels, becoming noticeable from around four weeks and continuing to improve for a couple of months after the second session. Contact the clinic if swelling worsens after the first day or a lump persists beyond a couple of weeks.

Frequently asked questions about Profhilo
How does Profhilo differ from dermal fillers?
Dermal fillers add physical volume and structure to specific areas. Profhilo is not a volumiser; it spreads evenly under the skin to improve hydration and trigger collagen and elastin production across the whole treatment area. The two products have very different roles and are often used together.
How many sessions do I need?
The standard protocol is two sessions spaced four weeks apart. Many patients then choose a maintenance treatment every six to twelve months to sustain the results.
Is it painful?
Profhilo is injected via a small number of precise injection points using a fine needle. Most patients find it comfortable without any anaesthetic. Any mild tenderness or swelling at the injection sites usually resolves within 24 to 48 hours.
Which areas can be treated?
Profhilo is most commonly used on the face, neck and hands. It is particularly effective on crepey skin and areas where skin laxity and dehydration are the primary concerns.
When will I see results?
Some improvement in hydration and skin quality is noticeable after the first session. The full effect is typically visible around four weeks after the second session as new collagen continues to form.
How much does Profhilo cost?
Pricing depends on the treatment and what is agreed for you and is confirmed in writing at your consultation, with no obligation to proceed.
