What is Profhilo® and how does it differ from traditional fillers Profhilo® represents a new category of aesthetic treatments that bridges the gap between mesotherapy and fillers. Unlike conventional fillers that add volume to specific areas, Profhilo® acts as a "cell activator" that spreads naturally within the skin. Its unique composition includes 64mg of pure hyaluronic acid per 2ml, combining high and low molecular weight hyaluronic acid. This combination was created through NAHYCO technology, which allows the product to be stabilized without the use of chemical cross-linking agents.
The science behind bio-remodeling
When Profhilo® is injected into the skin, it works in two phases:
First phase
Immediate hydration
Provides intense hydration to the deeper layers of the skin, restoring moisture lost over time.
Second phase
Bio-stimulation
It stimulates cell receptors, activating the production of four different types of collagen and elastin. This process drastically improves the quality of skin tissues.
The benefits of Profhilo
Deep hydration
The hyaluronic acid in Profhilo can hold up to 1,000 times its weight in water. This means the skin receives intensive hydration that lasts for months.
Natural toning and tightening
Unlike fillers that may alter your natural features, Profhilo improves your skin's elasticity and firmness, while maintaining natural expressiveness.
Improved texture and radiance
The stimulation of collagen production leads to smoother skin with a natural glow. Minor imperfections are smoothed out and the overall skin quality improves.
Long-lasting results
Profhilo results typically last 6-12 months, as the production of new collagen continues for weeks after the treatment.
Profhilo application areas
Face
Cheeks and jawline area: Improves firmness and restores lost volume. Eye area: Reduces fine lines and improves elasticity. Mouth area: Smooths expression lines.
Neck and décolletage
Areas often neglected but which show age. Profhilo significantly improves texture and firmness in these sensitive areas.
Hands
Hands are among the first areas to show signs of aging. Profhilo restores elasticity and improves the appearance of veins and age spots.

The body version is ideal for areas such as upper arms, abdomen, knees, and chest.
