How it works

The mechanism, without the marketing

Profhilo is an injectable hyaluronic acid treatment designed to support hydration and skin quality rather than create facial structure or conventional filler volume. It is placed at selected points and disperses through the tissue. The intended change is subtle: skin may look more hydrated, smoother or better supported, but the face should not look reshaped.

What we assess

The details that change the plan

• Whether dehydration or early skin quality change is the main concern

• Degree of laxity, volume loss, pigmentation or scarring

• Skin health, recent procedures and tendency to swell or bruise

• Whether a different regenerative, resurfacing or structural treatment fits better

Before, during & after

What the appointment may involve

Before, assessment: The skin is assessed in natural light and the expected degree of change is discussed. Significant laxity or volume loss usually needs a different conversation.

During, treatment: Small injections are placed at defined points. Temporary raised areas at injection sites are expected and usually settle.

After, recovery: Bruising, swelling, tenderness and short lived bumps may occur. Individual aftercare is provided and treatment is postponed if the skin is inflamed or infected.

Results, course & recovery

What changes, and when

Improvement is gradual and tends to be judged over weeks rather than immediately. A commonly used pathway begins with more than one session, but the number and interval should be personalised. Maintenance is considered only if the initial response and value justify it.

Limits, risks & alternatives

The part that should never be hidden

Profhilo does not relax expression muscles, replace structural volume, remove pigmentation, treat broken capillaries or correct significant acne scarring. Injectable risks still apply, including bruising, infection, inflammatory reactions and rare vascular complications. Polynucleotides, microneedling, laser, skincare or no treatment may be more appropriate depending on the concern.
