Profhilo is not a typical dermal filler, it is very different from all other injectable substances as it has been engineered specifically for “skin bio remodelling”. It is biocompatible as it’s composed from a high-grade hyaluronic acid produced by bio-fermentation. Due to these properties, it can effectively enable the production of both your natural collagen and elastin, causing your skin to renew successfully, from within. Due to its high purity and the absence of additives, Profhilo offers greater safety and therefore reduced side effects.

What Makes Profhilo Different?
Profhilo® is a unique skin remodelling treatment that works by stimulating the production of collagen and elastin in the skin through the slow release of Hyaluronic Acid (HA).
Unlike other anti-ageing injectables that use fillers to add volume and stretch out the skin, Profhilo uses Hyaluronic Acid, a naturally occurring substance in the body to hydrate, firm and actually rebuild new, younger-looking skin cells.
This works on reversing the signs of ageing at a cellular level, stimulating new collagen and elastin cells, significantly improving the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and giving you firmer, more youthful skin on your face.
With dermal fillers, the results tend to be very localised because the gel only stays in the area in which it has been injected. However Hyaluronic Acid is different. Once injected it disperses evenly throughout the skin, so the effects are visible throughout your whole face, giving a much more even anti-ageing result.
What Problems Can Profhilo Help With?
Profhilo is an excellent anti-ageing treatment, clinically proven to help with a wide range of ageing symptoms. It acts as a hydrator rather than a traditional dermal filler, and is therefore fantastic for those with tired, dull and ageing skin, as it provides overall more plump and luminous skin.
Examples of some of the signs of ageing that Profhilo can be used for include:
- Wrinkles such as crows feet, smoker’s lines, smile lines and frown lines.
- Saggy, loose skin – on your face, decolletage, neck, arms or hands.
- Dull, dehydrated looking skin.
- Sunken skin that needs more volume.
How Profhilo Works
As you age your body starts to produce less collagen and elastin – the cells that give your skin its structure and firmness. When these cells start to reduce, your skin can no longer hold its appearance and the first signs of ageing, such as fine lines and wrinkles, start to appear.
Profhilo works right at the root cause of the problem – stimulating collagen and elastin production and increasing the elasticity of your skin.
The Profhilo is injected just below the skin’s surface in only 2 sessions over a period of 4 weeks. It disperses quickly to boost and instantly hydrate your skin, smoothing fine lines and wrinkles and resulting in improved skin texture.
Profhilo is the first BDDE-free stabilised injectable hyaluronic acid (HA) based product for treating skin laxity. With one of the highest concentrations of HA on the market (64mg / 2ml) it is not only amazing at boosting and hydrating the skin but it is also one of the most effective products out there for remodelling the ageing and sagging tissue.
Hyaluronic Acid – A Safer Anti-Ageing Injectible
Profhilo has been voted the best treatment of 2019 by The Times, and is incredibly safe, due to the formulation of hyaluronic acid.
Hyaluronic acid occurs naturally, and the levels of HA in the body are balanced by an enzyme known as hyaluronidase, which breaks down the hyaluronic acid molecules.
This is also the substance that breaks down Profhilo fillers over time, making it the least disruptive form of filler as the body is already equipped to work with the main ingredients.
HA is also the substance we use in our dermal fillers, as they are biodegradable, malleable and the safest form of dermal filler on the market.
The Profhilo Treatment Journey
Consultation
The first step in your Profhilo anti-ageing journey is to book a consultation with Dr Shirin Lakhani, our medical director who carries out all of our Profilo treatments.
Dr. Shirin will talk to you about what it is you want to achieve from your treatment, as well as making sure you’re a suitable candidate for Profile enhancement treatment. She will talk you through the process and collaborate with you to find a treatment plan that works for you.
This extensive consultation also gives you a chance to get to know Dr. Shirin and the staff at Elite Aesthetics and see our purpose-built clinic in peaceful Greenhithe, Kent.
Above all, we want you to feel comfortable and safe during your treatment here with us at Elite Aesthetics, and to ensure that you’re happy with us as your aesthetic practitioners.
Before Your Profhilo Treatment
If you’re happy with your treatment plan then your Profhilo appointment can be booked in.
Before your treatment, you should avoid blood thinners like aspirin and other anti-inflammatories like Ibuprofen or Aleve, fish oil, multivitamins or vitamin E for at least a day beforehand, as they can increase the appearance of bruising after the treatment.
During Your Profhilo Treatment
During your treatment, Dr Shirin can apply a numbing cream to make sure the procedure is comfortable for you. She will mark the areas to be treated and then inject the Profhilo filler using a tiny needle. This can cause some mild discomfort, but most people find it easily tolerable, especially when numbing cream is used.
The entire treatment process usually takes under 30 minutes and has no required recovery time, so you can get back to your day straight after treatment.
After Your Profhilo Treatment
After treatment, you may experience mild swelling or bruising, although this usually goes down within a few days, leaving you with a plump, youthful appearance.
You should try and avoid touching the area & or taking part in any intense exercise for 24 hours after treatment to make sure you don’t disturb or displace the Profhilo filler.
The amount of time the filler takes to break down varies from person to person depending on the volume, type and location of filler injected, as well as the natural levels of hyaluronidase in the body. Generally, Profhilo fillers will last for around six months, though optimum results can vary from around three to eighteen months.

Frequently Asked Questions
The results from Profhilo treatments will most often last for up to six months, but may vary from individual to individual.
Profhilo makes the skin glow and fine lines and wrinkles are reduced, or can disappear. You’ll notice smoother, tighter skin, and after just a single course of Profhilo, which involves 2 injectable treatments 4 weeks apart, you can expect to see intense hydration of the skin.
Due to the way that Profhilo is formulated, it is not a traditional volumising treatment in the same way that dermal fillers are, and is not used to enhance specific areas of the face (e.g. lips, cheeks, chin). Profhilo is primarily a hydrating treatment, and the hyaluronic acid it contains is dispersed evenly throughout the face, giving your skin a more plump and firm look overall, unlike traditional dermal fillers, where the gel is designed to stay in one part of the face to give volume and lift to the area.
You can expect increased firmness, elasticity and improved quality in your skin for up to six months after your treatment.
We recommend not to exercise on the day of treatment.
When injected using the five-point technique on each side of the face, the insertion are is immediately noticeable. However, this starts diffusing very quickly and will disappear completely by the next day.
You should avoid having further aesthetic or cosmetic procedures for 2 days. It is not recommended to go to a sauna or have a steamy bath for the first few days either. It’s best to stay out of the sun if any bruising or prolonged swelling occurs.
Apart from that, you can get back to your day straight away, with no downtime!
The subtle and gradual results usually mean that people usually won’t be able to tell you’ve had a treatment, but this depends on the skin condition being treated and the desired outcome. Profhilo can significantly improve skin laxity by increasing the tissue density of the skin, and some patients have seen a lifted appearance, which can be noticeable.
Most patients say they were complimented on how fresh they looked, but rarely asked what they have had done.
Hyaluronic Acid is very well tolerated by the skin as the body also produces HA naturally. The only reported side effects are light bruising and mild swelling at the injection sites, and these generally disappear in a short period of time. This happens because Profhilo is injected with a fine needle, rather than any effect from the Profhilo treatment itself.
Profhilo was first launched in early 2015 in Italy and it has been used worldwide ever since. There have been over 150,000 patients treated so far with no adverse reactions reported. From a safety perspective, Profhilo® is highly biocompatible because it is made from ultrapure, natural Hyaluronic Acid and is stabilised without the addition of chemical cross-linking agents. This reduces the risk of adverse reactions. The product has also won numerous awards around the world, including:
- Aesthetics Award for Product Innovation of the Year.
- The best treatment of 2019 by The Times.
- Avoid having any alcohol the day before your treatment to minimise any bruising.
- In the week prior to your treatment, try to avoid taking aspirin, ibuprofen or any other type of anti-inflammatory medication to minimise bruising.
- Please do not plan to have any other skin treatments (peels, facials, microdermabrasion, micro-needling treatments) for 2 weeks prior and 2 weeks after your Profhilo filler treatment.
- After your treatment, please closely follow the aftercare advice given to you by Dr. Shirin, and do not apply anything else to the treatment area, unless previously discussed.

It is recommended to have at least two sessions (one month apart) to achieve optimum results. However, if the skin problems are severe, a third session may be advised. To maintain the results we recommend a top-up treatment session around every 6 months. Your practitioner will provide you with a full treatment plan and advice during your initial consultation.
You might notice some results immediately following the treatment, but the real magic happens in the weeks to follow, as your skin rebuilds the new collagen and elastin.
Results are typically seen after just two treatment sessions, with a one-month interval between them.
The results from Profhilo treatments will usually last for up to six months but may vary from individual to individual. For most people, maintenance sessions tend to be required every 6-12 months depending on the level of correction required, your age and lifestyle.

Had a consultation with Elite yesterday, I must say I was a bit nervous, but Charlotte was so friendly and helpful.
