Profhilo is an injectable hyaluronic-acid treatment designed primarily to improve skin hydration, elasticity, firmness and overall skin quality rather than create the facial volume associated with traditional dermal fillers.
It uses a formulation containing high and low molecular weight hyaluronic acid. The treatment is often chosen for skin that appears dehydrated, dull, lax or affected by early signs of ageing. Evidence on injectable hyaluronic-acid treatments supports potential improvements in hydration, elasticity and skin texture, although results vary between products and individuals.
At Pure Derma, Profhilo is planned according to your skin quality, facial anatomy and rejuvenation goals.
Profhilo may be considered for:
It is generally considered a skin-quality treatment rather than a volumising filler.
Profhilo:
Primarily focuses on hydration, elasticity and overall skin quality.
Dermal Fillers:
Primarily focus on restoring volume, enhancing contours or supporting specific facial structures.
The two treatments therefore serve different aesthetic purposes, although both may contain hyaluronic acid.
At Pure Derma, Profhilo treatment begins with a detailed assessment of your skin rather than a one-size-fits-all protocol.
Your dermatologist evaluates your skin quality, degree of laxity and aesthetic goals before deciding whether Profhilo is appropriate. The aim is to enhance your natural appearance while keeping the treatment subtle and personalised.
Profhilo is an injectable hyaluronic-acid treatment, but it is generally used for skin quality and hydration rather than conventional facial volumisation.
Profhilo uses a formulation containing high and low molecular weight hyaluronic acid.
Profhilo is not primarily designed to create the structural volume associated with traditional dermal fillers.
Treatment areas may include the face and selected areas of the neck or other areas with skin-quality concerns, depending on the clinical assessment.
It may be considered when dehydration is contributing to a dull or dry-looking appearance. Hyaluronic acid is known for its ability to bind water within tissues.
It may improve the appearance of fine lines as part of an overall skin-rejuvenation approach. Results depend on the individual’s skin and the degree of ageing.
Profhilo may improve the appearance of skin firmness and elasticity, but it should not be considered a replacement for surgical skin tightening.
Some patients notice improvements in hydration and skin appearance relatively soon, while other changes may become more noticeable progressively after treatment.
The treatment plan depends on your skin condition, treatment area and individual goals. Your dermatologist will recommend the appropriate schedule after assessment.
Results vary between individuals and depend on factors including skin condition, age, lifestyle and treatment protocol. A specific duration cannot be guaranteed.
You may experience brief pinching or discomfort during the injections. The level of discomfort varies by individual and treatment area.
Most patients can resume routine activities relatively quickly. Small bumps at injection points, redness, swelling or tenderness can occur temporarily.
It may be combined with other aesthetic or dermatological treatments when clinically appropriate. The timing and combination should be decided by your dermatologist.
As with any injectable treatment, side effects and complications are possible. Temporary swelling, redness, tenderness or bruising can occur. More significant complications from hyaluronic-acid injections are uncommon but can occur, particularly if material enters a blood vessel.
A consultation with a qualified dermatologist is the best way to determine whether Profhilo is appropriate for your skin. Your dermatologist can also recommend alternative or complementary treatments based on your concerns.
Give your skin a refined boost with Profhilo at Pure Derma, designed around your individual skin quality and rejuvenation goals.
