Profhilo: pure hyaluronic acid to improve skin quality

Profhilo is at the forefront of innovation in skin improvement. It’s made entirely of hyaluronic acid, but it doesn’t add volume. This product is injected into the skin, instantly delivering intense hydration and stimulating collagen and elastin production. These proteins contribute to firmer, more elastic skin. It also has a lifting effect and minimizes fine lines. It’s the perfect choice for anyone seeking improved skin condition without adding volume. It can also be used on the face, neck, and even hands!

  • Profhilo isn’t a filler, but consists of pure hyaluronic acid. It stimulates your skin’s natural function, resulting in a natural look.

  • Profhilo, a creation of IBSA, has been available in England and Italy since 2016 and has won multiple Aesthetic Awards!

What is the operation?

  • Optimizes the clarity and glow of your skin.
  • Softens and diminishes fine lines.
  • Provides intensive hydration that lasts for several weeks.
  • Reduces facial redness.
  • Tightens moderately sagging cheeks and a weak jawline (surgical methods may be more suitable for excessive skin or excess fat).
  • Profhilo counteracts the effects of aging, for younger and firmer skin.
  • Profhilo consists of pure hyaluronic acid, produced in a unique way compared to standard hyaluronic acid fillers. Regular fillers primarily create extra volume at the injection site, while Profhilo does not.
  • Profhilo stimulates your own skin cells (such as fibroblasts, keratinocytes, and adipocytes) to produce more collagen and elastin, which contributes to skin support and resilience.
  • Aesthetic physician Dr. Kim Detollenaere is ready to guide you to the most suitable treatment for your specific area. The choice of the right treatment or technique depends on the situation and your wishes.

When is it ideal to start using Profhilo?

Around age 30, the cells that provide skin support begin to decline.

Profhilo activates precisely these cells. This stimulates your skin to repair itself, resulting in a natural look.

FAQ

You can easily book an appointment with Dr. Kim Detollenaere online, with no prior consultation required. Treatment details will be discussed immediately beforehand. Five superficial injections are administered per side of the face using the 5-point BAP technique. 0.2 ml of hyaluronic acid is injected into each of five specific points on the face. These points are carefully selected to minimize the risk of bruising. The injections are generally well-tolerated, making numbing cream unnecessary. An initial series of Profhilo treatments typically requires two to three sessions, spaced about a month apart, depending on your skin condition.

Because Profhilo activates natural skin cells, it takes about a month after the last treatment for improvements in skin texture to become visible. Although the Profhilo treatment consists of two to three treatments, you can see the results for about 12 months.

Our skin is naturally programmed to age. This means that to continue improving and tightening the skin, you must continue to support this process. When mature skin is no longer stimulated, the achieved effect will gradually diminish. After an initial series of two to three treatments, it is recommended to repeat the Profhilo treatment with one session every 9 to 12 months. How often this is necessary depends on your skin condition. We will provide you with personalized advice on the ideal frequency for you.

Profhilo is ideal for both men and women who want to improve the quality of their face, neck, or hands. Treatments typically begin around age 35, as collagen and elastin production in the skin decreases from that age onward, leading to aging. Many of our clients choose Profhilo to improve skin texture, reduce fine lines, achieve a radiant glow, and firm skin.

Profhilo is injected into the desired area using a needle. Thanks to Profhilo® Body’s excellent distribution, only a few injections are needed to treat an entire area. The procedure is both quick and painless. We recommend a series of two treatments, spaced 30 days apart. Additional treatments can be considered if necessary.

While a Profhilo Body treatment doesn’t stop the natural aging process, the duration of visible results can vary depending on skin condition, the rate of volume loss, and external influences such as sunlight. On average, the effect lasts 6 to 9 months. We recommend a maintenance treatment every 6 months for best results. Typically, 2 to 3 treatments are required, with a month’s break in between, depending on the sagging skin.

Hyaluronic acid is a natural component of the skin, making it generally well-tolerated when injected. However, there are some rare side effects associated with the treatment. These may include mild swelling, redness, and occasional bruising, which is more likely to be due to the injection than the product itself. These effects usually subside quickly. If you are unsure about a side effect, we advise you to contact us immediately.

Profhilo doesn’t work like a filler that plumps up the skin or adds volume. It uses hyaluronic acid to activate a natural process in the skin. This hyaluronic acid in Profhilo has a different role than in fillers. Profhilo treatments stimulate the skin to produce its own collagen and elastin, encouraging older and sagging tissues to form new, firmer cells.

A Profhilo treatment can be considered for individuals around the age of 30 who are seeking firmer and tighter skin from the core. However, for certain specific needs, a surgical procedure may be necessary. Consider a no-obligation consultation with us. We do not offer this treatment to pregnant women.
