profhilo injection

 

Profhilo H+L is an anti-ageing treatment and skin booster containing stabilised hyaluronic acid (HA). Profhilo is designed to reduce fine lines and wrinkles while treating skin elasticity, skin laxity and firmness. Including special patented NAHYCO technology, Profhilo increases collagen and elastin production by stimulating the fibroblast cells. Profhilo hydrates the skin and improves skin tone, texture, and radiance with a subtle lifting and tightening effect.

PROFHILO H+L is a relatively new aesthetic injectable product in the skin rejuvenation / bioremodeling category, developed by IBSA Farmaceutici Italia. It is designed not purely as a wrinkle filler, but rather as a skin booster: to improve skin quality, firmness, hydration, and reduce laxity.

What Exactly Is PROFHILO H+L?

Some defining features of PROFHILO H+L:

• It is a stabilized hyaluronic acid (HA)-based injectable, using a hybrid formulation combining both high molecular weight (HMW) and low molecular weight (LMW) HA.

• The concentration is high: typically 64 mg per 2 mL (i.e. 32 mg/mL HMW + 32 mg/mL LMW) of HA.

• It uses a patented technology (NAHYCO® Hybrid Technology) to stabilize the HA without using chemical cross-linking agents such as BDDE (1,4-butanediol diglycidyl ether). This avoids some of the concerns associated with cross-linked fillers.

How Does It Work / What It Does

PROFHILO H+L works via multiple mechanisms:

1. Hydration: HA is very good at binding water. By introducing HA under the skin, it helps boost moisture in the dermal layers, improving skin plumpness and reducing dryness.

2. Skin Remodelling: The product stimulates the skin’s own collagen and elastin production. Over time, this helps firm the skin, improve elasticity, and reduce visible laxity.

3. Lift & Tightening: Because of the mix of molecular weights and the high concentration, the product can exert a mild lifting effect, smoothing fine lines and reducing sagging in areas like cheeks, jawline, neck, hands, etc.

4. Even Distribution: The NAHYCO hybrid complexes allow the HA gel to spread more evenly (rather than forming lumps), with a good balance of fluidity and cohesion. This helps achieve natural-looking results.

Treatment Protocol (What to Expect)

Here is what typical use of PROFHILO H+L looks like:

Benefits

Some of the key advantages of PROFHILO H+L include:

• Improved skin hydration and “glow”: skin often looks more radiant and healthier soon after treatment.

• Skin tightening and lifting: since the product promotes collagen/elastin and has some structural benefits.

• Reduced appearance of fine wrinkles and smoother skin texture.

• Minimal downtime: swelling, redness or mild bruising are possible, but generally less severe than heavier fillers. Treatments are relatively quick.

• Natural results: because it doesn’t add bulk or “fill” deeply like some dermal fillers; it more so rejuvenates underlying skin structure.

Risks, Contraindications, and Side Effects

While generally considered safe when administered by a trained professional, there are some risks and things to consider:

Possible side effects:

• Mild redness, swelling, tenderness at injection sites.

• Bruising, itching, or slight discomfort.

• Rare hypersensitivity or allergic reactions. Because it is free from BDDE and highly purified, this risk is reduced, but not eliminated.

Contraindications (when NOT to use):

• Active skin infections, inflammation, or wounds in the area to be treated.

• Known allergy to hyaluronic acid or any component in the product.

• Pregnancy or breastfeeding (many sources advise avoiding injectable cosmetic treatments).

• Possibly conditions that affect skin healing, blood clotting disorders, autoimmune conditions — always check with a medical professional.

How Long Do Results Last?

• Usually, visible improvement is seen after the first session, particularly in terms of hydration and radiance. Deeper effects (firmness, lifting) gradually appear over several weeks.

• The effects often last around 6-9 months, though some sources suggest that with good skin care and lifestyle, effects can persist longer in certain individuals.

Things to Ask / Consider Before Getting PROFHILO H+L

If you are thinking about getting this treatment, you may want to ask your practitioner:

• Are they properly trained in using PROFHILO and the BAP technique?

• Is the product genuine and sourced from a reputable supplier/manufacturer?

• What is their posted protocol for initial sessions and maintenance?

• What are the costs (syringes, clinic fees, follow-ups)?

• What pre- and post-treatment care is needed (e.g. avoiding certain skincare products, sun exposure, etc.)?

Final Thoughts

PROFHILO H+L represents a newer, gentler way to fight signs of ageing — especially lax skin, dryness, and fading firmness — by boosting skin’s own hydration and remodeling capacities more than by simply filling wrinkles. For many, it offers a good balance between effectiveness and mildness of side effects, especially if done properly by a medical aesthetic professional.
