What exactly is Profhilo and how does it work?
It’s an injectable moisturiser made of high and low molecular weights of hyaluronic acid to hydrate the dermis. Hyaluronic acid is a humectant that retains moisture. Hence, it’s able to hydrate the skin from within to give a lit-from-within glow and improve skin texture.
Profhilo also has the benefit of stimulating collagen and elastin production in the skin. This improves skin elasticity, firms it, and reduces signs of ageing. It can brighten dull skin, shrink enlarged pores and firm up saggy skin.
Is it a filler? How does it compare to other injectable treatments like dermal fillers?
No, Profhilo isn’t a filler. Like dermal fillers, it contains hyaluronic acid, but there are differences in their rheology, benefits and injection techniques. Profhilo is injected into the dermis at bio-aesthetic points, allowing the hyaluronic acid to spread evenly and enhance skin quality across the injected region. In contrast, dermal fillers are injected into soft tissue or onto bone to add volume and contour specific areas, with no spreading or improvement in overall skin quality.
This hyaluronic acid treatment gradually enhances skin quality and addresses the signs of ageing by stimulating collagen and elastin production. Meanwhile, dermal fillers provide immediate, localised results for volume and contouring without affecting skin quality.
