Profhilo
Natural anti-aging for face and body
What does the Profhilo® treatment entail?
Profhilo body is a natural anti-aging treatment with 100% pure hyaluronic acid with thermal cross-linking. This allows it to spread easily in the skin for optimal hydration. In this way, the restoration of natural hyaluronic acid through injections has a longer lasting effect. By administering small injections of hyaluronic acid, the skin is stimulated to produce collagen (types 1,3,4 and 7), elastin and adipose tissue. A Profhilo body treatment prevents skin aging without giving volume. The treatment allows the skin to recover and prevents skin slackening. Profhilo body can be applied to several areas at the same time and can be combined with other injectable treatments such as Botox or fillers.

Why a Profhilo® treatment?
Profhilo is made up of a relatively new type of hyaluronic acid. Profhilo stimulates the production of, among other things, different types of collagen (1, 3, 4 and 7) and elastin in keratinocytes and fibroblasts. In addition, research has shown that Profhilo® has a stimulating effect on the differentiation and survival of stem cells and adipocytes present in the fat. This effect does not occur with a traditional hyaluronic acid treatment. Another reason to choose a Profhilo® treatment is because this method shows a longer effect compared to treatments. This is due to thermal cross-linking of hyaluronic acid. In addition to the fact that the Profhilo® treatment shows a longer effect, the treatment is also safer compared to non-cross-linked hyaluronic acid.
- The skin becomes firmer
- The skin is hydrated

Before and after Profhilo
The Profhilo treatment
Due to the distribution of Profhilo® when injected subdermally, the treatment is extremely easy and well tolerated by the patient. In most cases, the distribution of 2 ml will suffice. over 10 points, for example 5 per half of the face. Massage is then not necessary, because the gel spreads itself. Due to the limited number of injections in a Profhilo® treatment and the possibility of bypassing vascular risk areas, the risk of hematomas is small.
Profhilo® contains two different hyaluronic acids (32 mg high molecular weight hyaluronic acid and 32 mg low molecular weight hyaluronic acid). Because the treatment consists of a combination of different hyaluronic acids, it has a stimulating effect on the biology of the skin. This effect does not occur in isolation. In short, the whole is more than the sum of its parts.

Before and after the Profhilo treatment
In principle, anesthesia is not necessary for a Profhilo® treatment. If you do want this, we advise you to be present half an hour earlier, so that we can apply Emla cream (anesthetic cream) to you. To prevent possible bruising after the treatment, you can start with Arnica drops five days before the treatment. In addition, it is advisable to stop taking all nutritional supplements, vitamins and fish oil 5 days before the treatment. Also, do not use blood-thinning medicines, such as Aspirin, Naproxen and Ibuprofen. Discuss this with your doctor if necessary. Finally, it is important not to consume alcohol 48 hours before the Profhilo® treatment.
We do not recommend a visit to the sauna, hammam or swimming pool for the first 3 days after your Profhilo® treatment. In addition, we advise you not to sunbathe within 3 days after the treatment. Furthermore, it is not recommended to undergo intensive treatments in the treated area during the first 48 hours after the Profhilo® treatment. Think of peels, facial scrubs, microdermabrasion, laser and connective tissue massages.
Although a Profhilo® treatment in most cases goes without any problems, inflammatory reactions can occur in exceptional cases. This can include redness and swelling, which are sometimes accompanied by itching or pain when touched. These reactions can last 3 to 5 days. In addition, a bump or hardening may occur at the site of the injections. If the side effects last longer than indicated, always contact your doctor.
After the treatment, the skin is stimulated to improve skin, about 4 to 6 weeks after the first treatment you will see results. A second treatment ensures that the collagen and elastin production are extra strengthened and the result increases even more. The result of Profhilo body lasts about 9-12 months, depending on the condition of the skin. A maintenance treatment 1 or 2 times a year is strongly recommended to continue to prevent skin slackening and to keep a fresh glow.

Profhilo® is an anti-aging treatment with a large amount of pure hyaluronic acid without chemical additives.

For everyone from about 30 years old who wants to combat sagging skin. Also for men and women who want a natural skin rejuvenating effect and do not (yet) like the step to a “real” filler. The treatment can also be combined with a filler or botox treatment or as an addition to another treatment.
When can I expect results from Profhilo®?
2 to 3 treatments are required with an interval of one month depending on the degree of skin aging. Because the skin is put to work itself by this treatment, you will not immediately see results. You can often see that the skin is better hydrated. From 6-8 weeks after the first treatment, the positive effect is increasingly clear, this is because the production of collagen and elastin takes time.
How long does the effect of the Profhilo® treatment last?
It depends on the condition of the skin how long these improvements remain visible. It is recommended to undergo a separate treatment once or twice a year to maintain the result. After all: the aging process continues.
Are side effects to be expected from Profhilo®?
Hyaluronic acid is a substance that occurs naturally in the skin. When this substance is injected, it is extremely well tolerated by the skin. The possible side effects of a treatment with Profhilo® are mild swelling, redness and sometimes a few bruises. This is caused by the injections rather than the product itself and will soon disappear.
Profhilo® has been on the market since 2015 and has since been widely used worldwide, with no side effects other than those mentioned above reported to date. This is due to the fact that it is a very pure form of hyaluronic acid.
