What is Profhilo?
A Bioremodelling Treatment
Profhilo is a unique bioremodelling treatment that differs significantly from traditional dermal fillers.
Unlike fillers, which primarily aim to add volume and plumpness to specific areas, Profhilo focuses on stimulating the skin’s natural collagen and elastin production.
This “bio-stimulating” approach addresses the underlying cause of skin aging: a decrease in these essential proteins, leading to sagging, wrinkles, and loss of elasticity.
Here’s how Profhilo works:
-
Profhilo contains a concentrated solution of hyaluronic acid (HA), a naturally occurring substance in the skin that helps maintain hydration and plumpness.
-
This HA is specially formulated into a “poly-brid” structure, allowing it to be injected more deeply into the skin’s layers than typical fillers.
-
Once injected, Profhilo triggers a cascade of biological responses:
-
It attracts and binds water molecules, hydrating the skin from within.
-
It stimulates fibroblasts, the cells responsible for producing collagen and elastin.
-
It promotes neocollagenesis, the formation of new collagen fibers, improving skin structure and firmness.

The results of Profhilo are gradual but noticeable over several weeks. Skin appears more hydrated, radiant, and youthful, with a reduction in fine lines, wrinkles, and overall laxity.
Profhilo can be used on various areas of the face and body, including:
-
Face
-
Neck
-
Décolletage
-
Hands
-
Arms
-
Legs
Profhilo’s longevity depends on individual factors, but most patients experience noticeable improvements for 6-12 months. Maintenance treatments can be scheduled to prolong the results.
Not a Traditional Filler
Profhilo stands out as a unique treatment in the world of aesthetics, defying categorization as a traditional dermal filler.
While both fillers and Profhilo aim to rejuvenate the skin, their mechanisms and results differ significantly.
Traditional fillers are gel-like substances injected directly into wrinkles and folds, providing immediate volume and smoothing out lines.
In contrast, Profhilo works by stimulating the skin’s natural hyaluronic acid (HA) production.
Profhilo contains a highly concentrated solution of stabilized HA, spread through a series of shallow injections across larger areas rather than targeting individual wrinkles.
This unique approach encourages collagen and elastin regeneration, leading to a gradual but noticeable improvement in skin hydration, elasticity, and texture over several weeks.
Essentially, Profhilo acts as a “bio-stimulator,” prompting the skin’s own repair processes for a more natural, long-lasting rejuvenation effect.
How Profhilo Differs from Fillers
Targeting Skin Quality, Not Just Volume
Profhilo and fillers are both injectables designed to improve skin appearance, but they work in fundamentally different ways. Fillers primarily focus on adding volume to specific areas, plumping up wrinkles, enhancing lips, or correcting facial contours.
Profhilo, on the other hand, is a bio-revitalization treatment that targets overall skin quality rather than just adding volume.
Think of Profhilo as a “skin booster.” It contains a high concentration of hyaluronic acid (HA), a naturally occurring substance in our bodies that helps retain moisture and gives skin its plumpness. Unlike traditional fillers, Profhilo is spread in a unique “fanning” technique throughout the treatment area.
This widespread distribution stimulates the production of new collagen and elastin, the proteins responsible for skin’s structure and elasticity. This process gradually improves skin tone, texture, hydration, and firmness over time.
Profhilo doesn’t instantly plump up areas like a filler; instead, it works from within to enhance the skin’s natural regenerative abilities.
Essentially, Profhilo is like a tune-up for your skin, addressing issues such as dryness, fine lines, and dullness by boosting its own ability to rejuvenate itself.
Profhilo’s Gradual Effects vs. Immediate Results of Fillers
Profhilo and fillers, while both used to enhance facial appearance, work in fundamentally different ways. This leads to distinct results and treatment experiences.
Fillers are gel-like substances injected directly into areas requiring volume restoration, such as the cheeks, lips, or under the eyes. They provide immediate, noticeable results by plumping up the treated area, smoothing wrinkles, and restoring lost contours.
Profhilo, on the other hand, is a unique bio-remodellling treatment. It contains a high concentration of hyaluronic acid (HA), which is naturally present in the skin but diminishes with age. However, unlike fillers, Profhilo isn’t injected to add volume. Instead, it’s strategically placed superficially within the skin using a “fanning” technique.
This strategic placement allows Profhilo to stimulate collagen and elastin production.

Here’s a breakdown of the key differences:
* **Purpose:** Fillers primarily aim for immediate volume restoration and wrinkle smoothing, while Profhilo focuses on long-term skin rejuvenation by stimulating collagen and elastin.
* **Mechanism of action:** Fillers physically fill in wrinkles and depressions. Profhilo works bio-stimulatorily to encourage the skin’s own production of collagen and elastin.
* **Results:** Fillers deliver immediate, visible results. Profhilo produces gradual improvements over several weeks as the skin remodels itself. Optimal results typically become apparent after 2-3 treatments spaced a month apart.
* **Longevity:** Filler results generally last from 6 months to 2 years depending on the type of filler used and individual factors. Profhilo’s effects are more long-lasting, with results often visible for up to 6-12 months, as it encourages continued collagen production.
* **Suitable areas:** Fillers are used for targeted volume enhancement in specific areas like cheeks, lips, and under eyes. Profhilo is versatile and can be used on the face, neck, décolletage, and hands to improve skin texture, tone, and elasticity.
Profhilo’s Active Ingredients: Hyaluronic Acid and BD-de
Hyaluronic Acid: A Natural Moisturizer
Profhilo utilizes two key active ingredients: hyaluronic acid and BD-de (bio-stimulating complex). Hyaluronic acid, often called nature’s moisturizer, is a naturally occurring substance in the body. It acts like a sponge, attracting and holding onto water molecules. This ability to retain moisture makes it an exceptional hydrating agent for the skin.
In Profhilo, hyaluronic acid contributes significantly to skin hydration and plumpness. Its presence helps to smooth fine lines and wrinkles by filling in the spaces between collagen fibers, giving the skin a more youthful appearance.
BD-de: Stimulating Collagen Production
Profhilo distinguishes itself from traditional fillers due to its unique approach to skin rejuvenation. While fillers primarily focus on directly adding volume to specific areas, Profhilo utilizes two key active ingredients to stimulate the skin’s natural collagen production and improve its overall texture and elasticity.
The primary ingredient in Profhilo is hyaluronic acid (HA), a naturally occurring substance found in our bodies that plays a vital role in maintaining skin hydration and volume. As we age, HA levels naturally decline, leading to dryness, wrinkles, and loss of facial contours.
Profhilo’s unique formulation contains a high concentration of low-molecular-weight HA, which allows for deeper penetration into the skin. This ensures that HA can effectively reach the dermis, the layer responsible for collagen production, where it works to attract and retain moisture, plumping up the skin from within.
In addition to HA, Profhilo also contains BD-de, a patented bio-stimulant derived from amino acids and nucleotides. BD-de acts as a catalyst, prompting fibroblasts, the cells responsible for collagen synthesis, to increase their activity.
This bio-stimulation triggers a cascade of biological processes that lead to increased collagen production, leading to improved skin firmness, elasticity, and resilience.
By harnessing the power of both HA and BD-de, Profhilo provides a long-lasting and natural-looking way to rejuvenate the skin without resorting to the direct volume-adding approach of traditional fillers.
