Overview

What Is Profhilo?

Profhilo is an injectable hyaluronic-acid bio-remodelling treatment designed to improve hydration and skin laxity rather than create the structural volume of a traditional filler. It is usually delivered at a set of facial or neck points, with treatment choice guided by skin quality and the manufacturer's protocol.

How it’s performed
Injected at 5 bio-aesthetic points (IBAPS) per side by qualified aesthetic physician; 30 minutes.
Preparation
Avoid blood-thinners 1 week before. No active skin infections in treatment area.
Recovery
Second session 4 weeks after the first; maintenance treatment every 6–12 months.
Regulatory note: Slovenia and Croatia are EU member states; Serbia follows its national healthcare framework. Ask each clinic which authority licenses the surgeon and facility, and how complaints and follow-up are handled.
Suitability

Who Is a Good Candidate?

The following criteria apply to most profhilo patients. A thorough consultation with your surgeon is always required to confirm individual suitability.

Adults with early laxity, dehydration, or crepey skin who want a subtle quality improvement
Patients who prefer gradual skin hydration and firmness over added contour or volume
People without active infection, significant allergy concerns, or contraindications to injectable treatment
Patients prepared to complete the recommended course and maintain realistic expectations

A reputable clinic will conduct a full medical history review before confirming you are a suitable candidate. Never proceed with a clinic that skips this consultation.

Benefits

Benefits of Profhilo

Patients who are well-selected and have realistic expectations commonly report the following outcomes:

  • Improves skin hydration and surface softness in appropriately selected areas
  • Supports a gradual, subtle change without the contouring effect of a volumising filler
  • Can be used on the face, neck, décolletage, or hands when clinically suitable
  • A defined protocol makes it easier to compare product authenticity, injector training, and follow-up between clinics
Risks

Risks to Consider

All surgical procedures carry some element of risk. Understanding these before proceeding is important. Your surgeon will discuss risks specific to your anatomy and medical history during consultation.

Injection-site bumps: Small raised points are expected initially but persistent lumps need review.
Bruising or swelling: Short-lived swelling and bruising can occur at each injection point.
Inflammatory reaction: Delayed redness, tenderness, or swelling is uncommon and should be assessed by the treating clinician.
Limited response: Skin quality may improve less than expected, particularly when laxity or volume loss needs another treatment.
This summary is for informational purposes only. Always discuss your full medical history and individual risk profile with a qualified surgeon or practitioner before proceeding.

Questions

Profhilo: Frequently Asked Questions

What is Profhilo and how is it different from standard dermal fillers?

Profhilo is not a filler — it does not add volume to specific areas. It is an ultra-pure, stabilised hyaluronic acid bio-remodeller that spreads evenly through the skin when injected at specific points (IBAPS technique), stimulating fibroblasts to produce collagen and elastin. The result is improved skin quality, hydration, and laxity rather than volumisation or contouring.

How many Profhilo sessions are needed?

The standard protocol consists of two sessions, 4 weeks apart, as a foundational treatment. Results are maintained with a single session every 6–12 months, depending on how the individual's skin responds. Some patients prefer an annual maintenance treatment; others repeat the two-session protocol once a year.

Which areas can be treated with Profhilo?

Profhilo is most commonly used on the face and neck. It can also treat the décolletage (chest), hands, inner arms, abdomen, and inner thighs — areas where skin laxity and reduced hydration are concerns. It is particularly well-suited to patients with skin laxity who are not yet candidates for surgical intervention.

How do I know if I am receiving genuine Profhilo?

Genuine Profhilo (manufactured by IBSA Farmaceutici) should come in verified packaging with a batch number that can be checked. Ask your clinic to show you the sealed product before injection. The product should be EU-registered and have a CE mark. Avoid clinics that offer unusually low-priced 'bio-remodelling' treatments, as counterfeit or substitute products are a documented concern.
