Revolutionary 'beneath the skin'
hyaluronic acid moisturising treatment

Returns volume and firmness

Improves skin structure

Deeply hydrates your skin

Stimulates collagen through a bio-modeling process

The first of its kind, Profhilo® is a revolutionary 'beneath the skin' hyaluronic acid moisturising treatment, made with the patented NAHYCO® technology. This results in a unique hyaluronic acid injectable gel, which has a prolonged stimulating activity on the dermal cells. When injected into the skin, Profhilo® stimulates the skin cell receptors to counteract skin laxity and improve and restore firmness of the skin.

One of the highest concentrations of hyaluronic acid on the market, Profhilo® not only boosts and hydrates the skin, but also remodels aging and sagging tissue. The most common areas of treatment include the face and neck and can also be used for the décolletage, hands, arms, knees, and abdomen area where it would effectively treat skin laxity. The treatment is suitable for men and women as well as offering skin benefits for patients of all age

Is Profhilo® for you?

Ideal candidates for this treatment are people over the age of 30 who are uncomfortable with skin laxity, crepe-like skin, or other visible signs of aging such as fine lines or wrinkles. Profhilo® can treat the face, neck, hands, arms, and décolleté. This treatment is not suitable for women who are pregnant or currently breastfeeding infants.

  • Profhilo® is also a fantastic treatment for dry skin, thanks to its use of hyaluronic acid which helps your skin to retain water- leaving you with a glowing complexion. It’s a great choice for those who already have a solid skincare routine and keep a good diet as it enhances your natural skin. Having a healthy lifestyle will also help to maintain the appearance of your skin booster for longer.

  • Profhilo® helps to minimise the signs of skin laxity by reversing the breakdown of collagen and elastin in our skin. These natural skin proteins act as key structural components to keep our skin firm and taut. But they slowly deplete through the ageing process, causing our skin to loosen and sag.

  • Profhilo® is a skin-renewing injectable moisturiser that uses the power of hyaluronic acid to stimulate the production of collagen and elastin and boost hydration in the three main layers of skin. This, in turn, reduces fine lines, wrinkles, dullness, and sagginess, and promotes firmer and overall fresher-looking skin from the inside out.

  • Profhilo® works by boosting your natural collagen and elastin production, the cells responsible for giving skin its firm, youthful appearance. The unique injectable HA gel has the capability to stimulate four different kinds of collagen and elastin production, putting its performance above any other filler. The HA solution is injected at five key points on either side of the face, restoring hydration – plumping out the skin – while also stimulating long-term collagen and elastin production.

What sets Profhilo apart from other procedures?

 

Profhilo contains a form of hyaluronic acid that is produced in a different way to traditional methods, allowing the hyaluronic acid to disperse evenly throughout the skin to produce more collagen and elastin, giving the skin a juicy, smooth quality. This can be used in conjunction with dermal fillers to add volume and structure whilst improving the overall quality of the skin. As we age, particularly after 30, the amount of collagen, fat, and elastin in the skin decreases markedly. The result is a loss of volume, the appearance of fine lines, and a general dulling of the skin. Profhilo® is the perfect rejuvenating treatment to combat these signs of skin aging. Profhilo® does more than just impact the surface of the skin - it helps the body regenerate and renew cells. Profhilo® is a substance that promotes skin health, plumpness, and a natural dewy glow by providing a slow release of hyaluronic acid into the skin and stimulating the body’s natural skin renewal cycle.

Your questions answered

 

Downtime

There is very little to no downtime associated with a Belotero Balance (+) treatment. In fact, most patients return to their normal, daily activities right after their visit. Every patient is unique, so be sure to discuss your place during a consultation with your healthcare provider.

Expected Results

Though Profhilo can quickly hydrate skin, its full effects don't set in until about four to six weeks after the first treatment. The product remains in the skin for about 28 days, during which time it continues to stimulate the production of collagen and elastin by slowly releasing the Hyaluronic Acid. Therefore, the results will be most visible in 4 weeks and after 8 weeks you will notice that your skin looks youthful, hydrated, and glowing.

How long do the results last?

Profhilo lasts in the skin for 28 days—much less time than with standard dermal fillers, since the lack of BDDE allows the body to metabolize the hyaluronic acid more quickly. 

However, the two recommended monthly treatments align with the rate of cell turnover, for more long-term results.

You’ll benefit from increased collagen and elastin for six months after your treatment.

 

Number of Treatments

To maximize its cell-regeneration benefits, Profhilo is performed in two treatments, with a month between the first and second treatments. 

Then a third treatment can follow, another three to six months out.

Does the treatment hurt?

As with all injectable treatments, there can be discomfort associated with the procedure.1 If you have concerns, discuss them with your healthcare provider because there are effective ways to manage this during treatment.

How long does the treatment take?

The treatment itself is very quick, taking only about 15 minutes but your appointment will most likely be for 30 minutes.

 

What happens during a Profhilo® treatment?

Like other injectables, Profhilo is a relatively easy treatment that takes only about 15 minutes.

Profhilo is always injected in a standard pattern of five injection points, often referred to as bio-aesthetic points (BAP), on each side of the face: in front of the ears, in the nasolabial folds, in the chin, under the eyes, and at the tops of the cheeks. After each injection, you can expect a stinging sensation for up to 90 seconds as the substance gets situated in the skin.

Thanks to the innovative injection technique used in a Profhilo treatment, only 5 small injections are required on each side of the face, making the treatment relatively quick and convenient.

Because Profhilo is injected directly under the skin with very fine needles at predetermined points, it is relatively painless; you may feel a brief stinging or scratching sensation, but this does not last long.

Patients may opt for a topical pain reliever or anesthetic prior to Profhilo® treatment, but this is generally not necessary. The procedure is very quick and only takes about 10 minutes.

Immediately after the procedure, small bumps will be seen at the injection site. These are usually very easy to cover and can take up to 24 hours to heal.

You’re able to return to your daily activities immediately afterward.

Profhilo® Treatment

Profhilo® is injected into the skin in a simple, quick treatment using a fine-gauge needle. Appointment time is usually 15-30 minutes.

You’re able to return to your daily activities immediately afterward.
