PROFHILO

Overview

It is not a dermal filler or mesotherapy nor a skin booster and is the first injectable hyaluronic acid specific for skin remodeling.

It works by stimulating four different types of collagen & elastin nourishing the skin cells and acts directly on skin laxity rejuvenating, hydrating and promoting radiant skin. It is ideal for dull, tired skin that has lost its firmness & elasticity thus improving the appearance of fine lines & wrinkles.

How does the treatment work

Profhilo® is formulated  without the use of cross-linked chemical agents, unlike most dermal fillers. Profhilo® consists low & high  molecular weight of hyaluronic acid(HA). The low portion HA helps to hydrate the skin and stimulates new collagen & elastin. Whereas the high molecular weight HA provides support & dermal scaffold action.
