Profhilo® is an innovative injectable treatment designed for tissue bio-remodelling and improvement in skin laxity, primarily on the face and neck, but also on the décolleté, hands, arms, knees and abdomen (Profhilo® Body).
What sets it apart is its high concentration of ultrapure hyaluronic acid — 64 mg in 2 ml, equally composed of low and high molecular weight HA. It is thermally stabilised without the use of chemical cross-linking agents (such as BDDE in HA dermal fillers). This unique formulation allows it to flow seamlessly from the injection point, diffusing across anatomical areas for even distribution.
Injected using the Bio Aesthetic Points (BAP) technique, Profhilo® acts as a potent skin stimulator, triggering bio-remodelling and hydration from within.
