Profhilo

At Skin Architect, we specialise in advanced skin rejuvenation treatments that deliver natural, radiant results. Profhilo® is one of our most popular options for clients seeking deep hydration, improved skin quality, and a subtle yet noticeable lift — without adding volume or altering facial structure.

Profhilo is not a filler. It is a bio-remodelling injectable treatment made from one of the highest concentrations of Hyaluronic Acid (HA) on the market. Designed to hydrate the skin from within and stimulate collagen and elastin, it restores firmness and elasticity for a smoother, tighter, and more youthful complexion.

What is profhilo

Profhilo is a unique treatment that spreads beneath the skin to boost hydration, tighten tissue, and improve overall skin quality. As it disperses, it delivers intense moisture while triggering the natural production of four types of collagen and elastin.

This creates a radiant, firmer, healthier-looking complexion — ideal for those noticing crepey skin, dullness, or early signs of ageing.

Is Profhilo a dermal filler?

Profhilo is not the same as a dermal filler.

Although both contain hyaluronic acid, Profhilo does not have the same thick viscosity as a dermal filler. In contrast, Profhilo is a water-like gel with a similar constancy to honey and is injected in small amounts across the face. It spreads beneath your skin, stimulating collagen and elastin to improve skin tone, texture, and elasticity. The result is an overall more youthful, hydrated, glowing complexion.

Profhilo will enhance an entire area rather than fill one specific line or fold like a dermal filler. Profhilo can flow freely through the deep skin layers in a way that dermal fillers cannot, and it won’t produce lumps and bumps. Profhilo is an excellent product for areas like the neck, hands, or arms where fillers are generally not used.

FAQs about Profhilo

Profhilo is an anti-ageing hydration treatment that helps boost hydration beneath the skin’s surface and kickstart the natural production of collagen and elastin. It is suitable for anyone who would benefit from increased hydration, more collagen, or elastin. Typically clients are aged 30-55 and want to look younger and for their skin on their face, neck, hand, or arms to look better.

Profhilo is a rejuvenating treatment that can smooth fine lines, wrinkles, skin crepeiness and improve skin texture in the following areas:
• Face
• Neck
• Decolletage
• Arms (bingo-wings)
• Elbows
• Hands
• knees
• Smokers lines and fine lines around the mouth
• Under-eye wrinkles
• Fine lines around the eyes
• Wrinkly cheeks
• Crepey hands
• Abdomen (stomach)

Your skin will look better hydrated almost immediately after treatment. The client won’t see the collagen elastin’s benefit until at least six weeks after your first treatment. The best results will appear 4-6 weeks after your second treatment.
 
To achieve the results, you will need 2 Profhilo treatments four weeks apart initially and then a top-up at six months to maintain the effect.
 

Profhilo was launched in Italy in February 2015, and it’s been in use worldwide ever since. Over 300,000 patients have been treated so far, with no adverse reactions reported. Side effects (e.g., redness, pain, swelling) are mild and temporary. From a safety perspective, it is made from ultra-pure, natural hyaluronic acid and stabilised without chemical cross-linking agents; this reduces the risk of adverse reactions, so the downtime is minimal.

The client can only undertake injectable procedures like Profhilo after you attend a face-to-face consultation with one of our doctors, who will discuss a full list of cautions and contraindications.
