Significant lifting and tightening in just 2 treatments and better skin for up to 6 months*
Profhilo® is a multi-award-winnning subdermal facial treatment that remodels aging and sagging tissue by stimulating 4 different types of collagen and elastin with one of the highest concentrations of ultra-pure hylauronic acid on the market.
This treatment will Improve and restore firmness of the skin, the effects can start to be seen after two treatments.
What Profhilo® is
Precise injections of injectable gel have a prolonged stimulating activity on the dermal cells. Profhilo® stimulates the skin cell receptors to counteract skin laxity and improve and restore firmness of the skin.
Unlike wrinkle-reducing and dermal filler treatments, Profhilo® stimulates collagen and elastin, attracting water in the deeper layers of the skin.
Monthly treatments can generate collagen and elastin stimulation and multiple treatments can create a face lifting effect.
Profhilo® can be used alongside our Collagen Wave® and rehydrating facial treatments so that you can target a range of face-lifting, hydrating and anti-ageing results.
How Profhilo® works
Profhilo®:
- Stimulates natural healing processes within your body.
- Hydrates your skin by retaining and binding moisture to the skin, rather than filling smaller areas. Just 10 injections with ultrafine needles will treat the entire face.
- Stimulates the production of new collagen and elastin through neocollagenisis.
- Improves the existing collagen and promotes new collagen production.
- Results in more hydrated, tighter, plumper skin, a more uplifted appearance and more radiant.

*As with most injectable treatments, we would recommend that you don’t have Profhilo treatment if you are currently pregnant or breastfeeding
The product contains one of the highest concentrations of hyaluronic acid (HA) on the market, but it isn’t a dermal filler (which is the aesthetic treatment most associated with HA) or a wrinkle, relaxing injection.
Instead, Profhilo® might be best described as a bio remodeller in that it stimulates natural healing processes within your body. The new treatment works in phases, hydrating your skin, and then stimulating the production of new collagen and elastin (a process known as neocollagenisis).
As you may already know, HA is a naturally occurring substance in our skin, joints and connective tissues. It holds 1000 times its weight in water and its primary roles are to retain and bind moisture to the skin and to aid collagen production. This is what Profhilo® taps into.
Without going too deeply into the science here, the ingredients in Profhilo® are firmly bonded (i.e. using heat), rather than chemically bonded, which is how dermal fillers are made.
This process changes the composition and use of the HA, making it perfect for hydrating the skin rather than filling smaller areas.
As a result, Profhilo® offers a runnier gel-like substance that – when injected – smoothly spreads out, and is absorbed within a 2 cm radius of the injection site. It doesn’t need to be massaged or leave lumps or nodules.
Due to each injection covering a larger surface area, you would typically need just 10 injections with ultrafine needles to treat your entire face
.
As HA occurs naturally in human body, and the product doesn’t use any synthetic chemicals, Profhilo® is effortlessly metabolised, causing no known long term side effects.
In the short term, the only known side effects are that a small percentage of people experience, bruising, redness or swelling at the injection sites, but this self corrects within a couple of days.
As with most injectable treatments, it is recommended that you don’t have Profhilo® treatment if you are currently pregnant or breastfeeding
It should be avoided if you are allergic to hyaluronic acid.
A Profhilo® treatment only takes between 10 and 30 minutes to administer. I will inject the product just below your skin surface at approximately 10 points in your face in order to administer the product to the whole area.
Other parts of your body, such as your hands, neck, or décolleté may need a different amount.
You should notice that your skin starts to look more hydrated and luminous within just 3 to 5 days over the following few weeks. Profhilo® will start to stimulate your skin’s, collagen and elastin production, creating a gentle skin-tightening effect.
You will need a second treatment, four weeks after treatment one. The maximum effect from Profhilo® is usually seen two months after that second treatment and should last for approximately six months. You can then choose to have a follow-up treatment to maintain the results.
The downtime with Profhilo is minimal after approximately 30 minutes here at Studio 3 Collagen Spa. You should be able to return to your normal light activities, including driving.
We do recommend that you avoid wearing make up for 24 hours, and that you take a day off from strenuous physical exercise, such as visiting the gym or playing your favourite sport.
Avoid saunas or a steamy bath, as well as intense sun of UV light for 3 to 4 days.
A Profhilo® treatment will gently lift and tighten loose skin. The effect it creates is subtle, natural-looking, but transformative. It isn’t as drastic as a surgical facelift by any means, but fans of Profhilo® enjoy how radiant, smooth and hydrated it makes the skin look and feel.
One of the many benefits of Profhilo® is that it can be used on its own or in conjunction with other aesthetics treatments, such as dermal fillers, laser treatments or wrinkle, relaxing injections.
The two can’t really be compared. Profhilo® isn’t administered to the forehead, for a start (the area Botox is most commonly used to treat). The effects of Profhilo® feel more subtle compared to Botox or even fillers, as the treatment is designed to give the complexion an overall boost rather than to “remodel” the face.
If you want to give anti-ageing injectables a go, but don’t quite feel ready for Botox or fillers then this is the treatment for you.
Two treatments are recommended for maximum results, four weeks apart, with the best results being visible four weeks after the second treatment. It should last in your skin for up to 28 days, but you will continue to reap benefits as it stimulates your collagen supply, so we would suggest you could book in every six months to a year for a treatment.
