Profhilo is an innovative injectable treatment that delivers high concentrations of hyaluronic acid beneath the skin. Unlike traditional dermal fillers that add volume, Profhilo works as a skin booster. It hydrates deeply and stimulates your skin’s natural production of collagen and elastin.
Think of collagen and elastin as the scaffolding and elastic bands of your skin. As we age, this framework weakens, and the skin starts to sag and lose firmness, hello, skin laxity. It effectively kick-starts this framework, enhancing skin elasticity and improving overall skin quality. It’s like giving your skin a gentle nudge to behave more like it did in your twenties, without artificial plumping.
It involves just five small injections on each side of the face (so 10 in total), targeting specific Profhilo BAP technique injection points. “BAP” stands for Bio Aesthetic Points, which are carefully chosen sites to maximise product diffusion and minimise discomfort.
The injections themselves feel like little bee stings, and swelling at the injection sites is usually minimal and short-lived. Most patients relax in the chair, chatting about their skin goals and the procedure is quick, often taking less than 5 minutes.
The treatment no downtime, so you can return to your day immediately. Some patients feel a mild warmth or tightness afterwards, which is perfectly normal and a sign the treatment is doing its job. In the week following treatment, we encourage them to hydrate well and avoid excessive heat to maximize the effects.
Here’s the million-dollar question: “How long does Profhilo last?” The simple answer is, results generally appear within 4 weeks of the first treatment, with continued improvement weeks after the second treatment session, which is usually scheduled about a month later.
The treatment effects tend to last in the skin for around 28 days after injection, but the real magic is in the collagen and elastin production it stimulates. This means that even after the product itself breaks down, your skin keeps benefiting from the boost.
In terms of longevity, most patients notice results lasting up to six months, sometimes longer, depending on lifestyle factors such as sun exposure, smoking, and skincare routines. I always remind patients that skin ageing is a marathon, not a sprint, and regular maintenance is key to sustained improvements.
If you’re weighing up your options between Profhilo and traditional dermal fillers, here’s what you need to know. Dermal filler treatments are fantastic for adding volume, contouring, and targeted wrinkle reduction. However, they tend to focus on lifting or adding rather than improving the skin itself.
Profhilo, on the other hand, is less about structural changes and more about skin quality, hydrating the skin deeply, improving elasticity, and smoothing fine lines and wrinkles without adding bulk. This makes it ideal for patients seeking subtle, natural results, especially those with early signs of ageing or skin laxity.
And let’s be honest, not everyone wants or needs volume replacement. Profhilo offers a refined, clinical approach to skin rejuvenation that respects your natural features.
It’s one of the best ways to get a realistic sense of what Profhilo can achieve. The treatment gently enhances skin hydration, texture, and firmness.
The results aren’t about radical change, but about rejuvenation from within. If you’re after that subtle glow and reduction in fine lines, these photos will give you a clearer picture of what’s possible.
The BAP technique targets five key injection points on each side of the face. These points are chosen to allow the hyaluronic acid to spread evenly throughout the skin, providing uniform hydration and stimulation.
Beyond the face, Profhilo neck treatments are increasingly popular, the neck often shows signs of ageing like sagging skin and fine lines, but it’s frequently overlooked in skincare routines.
The beauty of Profhilo is that it can be adapted to various treatment areas, including the décolletage, hands, and even arms, wherever skin laxity and dehydration are concerns.
Immediately after injections, patients may experience:
The minimal recovery period makes Profhilo appealing for those with busy schedules—most patients return to normal activities immediately, with just a few temporary injection marks that resolve quickly.
During the first few days after treatment, most patients notice:
These early changes represent the immediate hydrating properties of hyaluronic acid rather than structural improvements.
This critical period is when Profhilo begins its bio-stimulating work:
Many patients report friends commenting that they look “refreshed” or “well-rested” during this phase, though results remain subtle and natural.
The most dramatic before and after differences become apparent approximately 4 weeks after the second treatment:
This is when patients typically see the full potential of the treatment that appears healthier, more youthful, and revitalised without looking “done” or artificial.
Unlike more invasive procedures or traditional fillers, Profhilo before and after results show:
One distinctive aspect is how results continue to develop:
While it benefits most skin types, the most dramatic before and after transformations typically occur in:
Combining with complementary treatments like SPF, quality skincare, botulinum toxin, or targeted fillers often produces enhanced before and after results.
The before and after results demonstrate why this innovative treatment has become increasingly popular. By stimulating your skin’s natural regenerative processes rather than simply filling wrinkles, Profhilo offers natural-looking rejuvenation with minimal intervention.
The most impressive aspect of transformations is often what’s not visible—no obvious signs of treatment, just healthier, more youthful skin that looks like your best natural self.
If you’re considering Profhilo treatments, consulting with a qualified aesthetic doctor will help establish realistic expectations and determine if this revolutionary approach to skin rejuvenation aligns with your beauty goals.
