Profhilo is a highly concentrated hyaluronic acid designed to revitalize the skin and stimulate natural regeneration processes. It is not a volumizing product but a true biostimulator, which acts on the overall quality of the skin. Thanks to a patented formulation combining high and low molecular weight hyaluronic acids, Profhilo intensely hydrates the skin while boosting the production of collagen and elastin. This results in improved firmness, elasticity, tone and radiance of the skin without added volume or modification of the facial morphology. This treatment is particularly suitable for faces showing signs of laxity, loss of density or lack of deep hydration.
The mechanism of action of Profhilo is based on a unique combination of stabilized hyaluronic acid, injected at strategic points to diffuse progressively into the skin tissues. Its formulation is designed to spread evenly through the skin without creating localized volume. Once injected, Profhilo stimulates fibroblasts, the cells that produce collagen and elastin, as well as keratinocytes, which are responsible for cellular renewal. Hyaluronic acid also provides deep hydration, attracting water into the tissues and improving their quality. Thanks to its dual mechanism — hydration and biostimulation — this treatment provides a subtle lifting effect, improves skin firmness and restores a more youthful appearance. Results develop progressively over several weeks, following the rhythm of tissue regeneration.
Profhilo® can be used on all skin types, at any age, for both women and men, and in any season. From the first sessions, the skin appears more hydrated, supple, tightened and revitalized.
This treatment is particularly useful for :
Profhilo® acts as a true global booster, improving the quality of the skin and giving it a fresh and rested appearance. This product is not intended only for the face : the neck, décolleté and hands are excellent indications. For the body, a specific product, Profhilo® Body, has been patented.
Profhilo stands out for its many remarkable benefits. It enhances the quality of the skin without altering its natural volumes, while acting deeply to revitalize the tissues. The result is harmonious, natural and free from any frozen appearance. Thanks to its exceptionally high concentration of hyaluronic acid, it provides intense hydration, noticeable from the first weeks.
Its biostimulating action promotes the regeneration of the skin’s supporting tissues and helps slow down the mechanisms of aging. The protocol is quick, almost painless, and requires no social downtime, making it a particularly comfortable treatment compatible with an active lifestyle.
Profhilo therefore fits perfectly into a global strategy for managing skin aging. Combining it with mesotherapy sessions helps optimize its effects, offering a synergistic and personalized approach to skin revitalization.
During the first consultation, a thorough clinical examination makes it possible to assess the quality of the skin, the degree of laxity and the patient’s expectations. The Profhilo treatment is performed in the clinic, without any particular preparation or anesthesia. The doctor injects the product using a fine needle or a cannula, according to specific points defined by an international protocol and adapted to each patient’s anatomy. The treatment is quick, and daily activities can be resumed immediately. Slight redness or mild swelling may appear, but these effects are temporary and disappear within a few hours.
The Profhilo® injection protocol is simple and scientifically established.
In the first phase, the treatment includes two initial sessions, spaced about one month apart.
This interval is essential : it allows the product to gradually diffuse into the tissues, stimulate the skin’s natural regeneration and provide deep hydration, while visibly improving its quality, firmness and radiance.
To extend and stabilize these benefits over time — particularly skin tone, luminosity and elasticity — it is recommended to plan two maintenance sessions per year. These maintenance sessions help prolong the effects of the treatment, preserve the quality of the skin and keep it firm, hydrated and radiant in the long term.
The first results are visible from the second week : the skin appears more hydrated, supple and radiant. The improvement then continues progressively, with increased firmness, better elasticity and a subtle tightening effect without adding volume. Fine lines are reduced, the skin becomes firmer and regains a more even appearance. The final effect appears after about one month, when the fibroblasts have produced enough collagen and elastin. The results are natural, without altering the facial features. The quality of the skin is visibly improved, with a rejuvenating effect, ideal for patients seeking a discreet and elegant solution. Radiance, density and skin tone are significantly improved.
The effect of Profhilo lasts on average between six and twelve months, depending on the initial quality of the skin, age, lifestyle and skincare routine.
Profhilo Body is not a filler, does not treat cellulite, does not modify body volume and cannot correct excess skin or significant sagging. It is not intended to replace a surgical procedure such as an arm lift or a body lift. Its value lies in its ability to stimulate the activity of skin cells naturally, without visible transformation. It can therefore be integrated into a global approach to managing skin aging, in combination with other techniques such as radiofrequency, fractional lasers, Skinboosters or certain collagen stimulators. The combination of these techniques often makes it possible to achieve more complete results, especially in patients with altered skin quality.
Profhilo clearly stands out from traditional Skinboosters thanks to its dual mechanism of action : it deeply hydrates the skin while improving its firmness and tone. Its patented formulation with a high concentration of pure hyaluronic acid allows for homogeneous diffusion into the tissues, promoting true skin restructuring. It is not simply about providing hydration to the skin, but about stimulating its natural regenerative abilities by boosting collagen and elastin production.
Unlike volumizing injections, Profhilo is not intended to modify facial volume or fill wrinkles. It acts instead as a “tissue renovator”, enhancing the overall quality of the skin, its suppleness and radiance. Compared to botulinum toxin, it does not act on the muscles responsible for expression lines, but works directly on the skin structure.
The approach is subtle, natural and progressive : Profhilo does not change facial features, but reveals visibly healthier, smoother and more radiant skin, while preserving expressiveness and facial harmony. It is particularly suitable for individuals seeking a discreet, elegant and undetectable result, within a preventive or corrective aesthetic-oriented medicine approach that respects naturalness.
Patients frequently describe a clear improvement in the quality of their skin, with a more radiant complexion, a more even texture and a feeling of firmness, all without altering their features. They particularly highlight the simplicity of the protocol, the absence of social downtime and the discretion of the results. This treatment is especially appreciated by people seeking a natural, elegant and physiognomy-respecting approach. Testimonials also mention denser, smoother and visibly revitalized skin.
The price of one syringe of Profhilo is 600 CHF. Depending on the area treated and the desired level of correction, a session may require one to two syringes. During the initial consultation at her practice in Geneva, Dr. Romano evaluates the patients’ skin quality and their aesthetic expectations in order to provide a personalized estimate.
Profhilo represents a major breakthrough in the global management of skin aging in aesthetic-oriented medicine. It provides hydration, firmness, elasticity and radiance, without altering volume. Thanks to its biostimulation mechanism, it improves the quality of the skin in depth. It is intended for patients seeking an effective, natural, sophisticated and discreet solution. When performed by an experienced physician, it is a safe, modern treatment perfectly suited to current demands for harmonious rejuvenation.
No. Profhilo does not add volume and does not change the morphology of the face. Its action focuses on skin quality : it improves texture, density and firmness without creating a filling effect. The features remain perfectly natural, with no frozen appearance and no noticeable alteration of facial contours.
In most cases, normal activities can be resumed immediately. Slight redness, small swellings or bruises may appear, but they are temporary. It is recommended to avoid intense exercise, sun exposure, saunas or steam rooms for forty-eight hours.
Most patients do not describe any feeling of discomfort. The use of fine needles or cannulas, as well as the possibility of applying a numbing cream, helps reduce any sensation of discomfort during the injections.
The initial protocol includes two sessions spaced one month apart. Depending on skin quality and the pace of aging, a maintenance session is generally recommended every six to twelve months. This frequency helps maintain the benefits in terms of firmness, radiance and hydration.
The first effects generally appear from the second or third week : the skin becomes visibly more hydrated, supple and radiant. Firmness, density and improvement in skin texture develop progressively over the following weeks. The results last on average between six and twelve months, depending on age, skin quality and lifestyle.
Yes. It can be combined with botulinum toxin, volumizing hyaluronic acid injections, Skinboosters or laser sessions. This complementarity makes it possible to address the different components of skin aging in a global way, while respecting each patient’s physiology.
Profhilo should not be performed in cases of active skin infection, known allergy to one of its components, auto-immune disease, pregnancy or breastfeeding. A medical consultation makes it possible to verify the absence of contraindications and to adapt the protocol if necessary.
