Profhilo® est un traitement de bioremodelage cutané à base d’acide hyaluronique stabilisé, conçu pour améliorer la qualité de la peau sans modifier les volumes du visage. Grâce à sa technologie brevetée NAHYCO®, il diffuse largement dans le derme afin de stimuler la production naturelle de collagène et d’élastine, tout en restaurant l’hydratation profonde de la peau. Indiqué pour le visage, le cou, le décolleté, les mains et certaines zones du corps, Profhilo® améliore progressivement la fermeté, l’élasticité et l’éclat cutané. À Genève, ce traitement s’intègre dans une stratégie globale de prévention et de correction du vieillissement cutané, avec des résultats naturels apparaissant progressivement après deux séances espacées d’un mois.

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.
La première consultation permet au Dr Romano d’évaluer la qualité de la peau, le degré de relâchement cutané et les besoins spécifiques du patient. Cet examen clinique permet de confirmer l’indication du traitement par Profhilo® et d’établir un protocole personnalisé en fonction de l’anatomie du visage et des objectifs esthétiques. Aucune préparation particulière n’est nécessaire avant la séance.
Le traitement est réalisé au cabinet médical et dure généralement une quinzaine de minutes. Profhilo® est injecté à l’aide d’une aiguille fine ou, dans certaines situations, d’une canule, selon une technique adaptée à chaque patient. Les injections sont effectuées sur des points anatomiques précis, conformément à un protocole validé, afin d’assurer une diffusion homogène du produit dans les tissus tout en optimisant la sécurité du traitement.
À l’issue des injections, le patient peut reprendre immédiatement ses activités habituelles. De légères rougeurs, un discret gonflement ou de petits reliefs au niveau des points d’injection peuvent être observés dans les heures suivant le traitement. Ces réactions sont habituelles, transitoires et disparaissent spontanément en quelques heures, sans éviction sociale.
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® offre une approche globale de la revitalisation cutanée grâce à sa forte concentration en acide hyaluronique et à son action biostimulante. Ses principaux bénéfices sont les suivants :
Profhilo se distingue nettement des Skinboosters classiques par son double mécanisme d’action : il hydrate intensément la peau tout en améliorant sa fermeté et sa tonicité. Sa formulation brevetée à haute concentration d’acide hyaluronique pur permet une diffusion homogène dans les tissus, favorisant une véritable restructuration cutanée. Il ne s’agit pas simplement d’apporter de l’hydratation à la peau, mais de stimuler ses capacités naturelles de régénération en relançant la production de collagène et d’élastine.
À la différence des injections volumatrices, Profhilo n’a pas vocation à modifier les volumes du visage ni à combler les rides. Il agit plutôt comme un « rénovateur tissulaire », améliorant la qualité globale de la peau, sa souplesse et son éclat. Si on le compare à la toxine botulique, il n’agit pas sur les muscles responsables des rides d’expression, mais agit directement sur la structure cutanée.
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.
Non. Profhilo n’efface pas complètement les rides profondes. Son objectif est d’améliorer la qualité de la peau, l’hydratation, l’élasticité et la fermeté grâce à une forte concentration d’acide hyaluronique. Pour les rides marquées, il peut être associé à des injections d’acide hyaluronique ou à la toxine botulique afin d’obtenir un résultat optimal.
Non. Profhilo n’est généralement pas recommandé pour traiter directement le contour des yeux. Dans cette zone, l’acide hyaluronique doit être injecté en profondeur, au contact de l’os (plan suprapériosté), afin de limiter le risque d’œdème, de poches ou d’autres effets secondaires. Lors d’une consultation de médecine esthétique à Genève, votre médecin déterminera le traitement le plus adapté à l’anatomie de votre regard.
