Profhilo®

Profhilo® Structura

Overview
Skin quality, not volume
Profhilo contains a high concentration of hyaluronic acid made with patented NAHYCO® technology. Unlike dermal filler, it spreads through the skin after injection to hydrate it and support the skin’s own remodelling.
Results build gradually over the weeks after treatment. Most people have an initial course of two sessions about four weeks apart, then maintenance sessions to keep results going.
What it can help with
- Dehydrated, dull skin
- Sagging skin and loss of firmness
- Crêpey skin on the neck and décolleté
- Fine lines
