Profhilo: a skin-quality injectable for hydration and elasticity
Many people take care of their skin but feel it no longer reflects how they feel. Less elastic, less supple, less radiant — not dramatically aged, but subtly changed. This may result from stress, weight fluctuations, sun exposure, or simply time. For many women, these changes become more noticeable around hormonal transitions, when dryness and early laxity appear together.

Profhilo has become one of Europe’s most recognised injectables for skin quality. It aims to improve hydration and elasticity without changing facial contours, resulting in a naturally fresher appearance.
What is Profhilo?
Profhilo is an injectable treatment based on stabilised hyaluronic acid (HA). Unlike volumising fillers, it improves the skin’s overall quality by supporting hydration and tissue structure.
Clinically, it is classified as a bioremodelling treatment that helps the skin regain firmness and elasticity through wide, even diffusion of HA within the tissue.

Profhilo is used under the European MDR framework for medical devices. As with any medical-aesthetic procedure, treatment should follow an individual assessment based on anatomy, skin condition, and medical history.
What Profhilo is not
Not a classic filler: it does not restore volume or reshape contours.
Not a superficial skinbooster: traditional HA skinboosters are injected as multiple microdroplets; Profhilo uses fewer, deeper points for broader diffusion.
Not a lifting procedure: it improves skin quality but does not replace surgical or device-based lifting.
Where Profhilo fits among skin-quality treatments
Injectable treatments for skin quality can be grouped into three main categories:
- Intradermal skinboosters – microinjections of soft HA to improve hydration and fine texture (e.g., Juvéderm Volite, Restylane Skinboosters, Teosyal Redensity I).
- Bioremodelling HA injectables – such as Profhilo, which spread widely to support firmness and elasticity.
- Biostimulatory injectables – such as diluted CaHA, PLLA, or polynucleotides, which stimulate collagen over time.
Profhilo lies between these categories, combining the hydrating effect of HA with gentle tissue remodelling, without adding volume.
What makes Profhilo different
Profhilo is produced using patented technology that combines high- and low-molecular-weight HA into hybrid cooperative complexes.
Stabilisation occurs without chemical cross-linking, enhancing biocompatibility and allowing smooth, natural diffusion in tissue.

Main benefits:
• global improvement in hydration and elasticity
• support for texture and firmness without added volume
• gradual, natural-looking results
What Profhilo can improve
Clinical studies and real-world use suggest that Profhilo may help with:
• dehydration and dullness
• uneven skin texture
• mild to moderate laxity
• loss of skin elasticity and suppleness
What Profhilo does not treat
• significant volume loss or deep wrinkles
• pigmentation or redness (different therapeutic approach)
A consultation determines whether the main concern is hydration, texture, laxity, pigmentation, or structural ageing.
Treatment protocol
The standard protocol includes:
• two sessions, approximately four weeks apart
• five injection points per facial side to ensure even diffusion
After treatment: mild swelling, redness, or small bumps may occur but usually resolve within a few days.
Results: hydration and comfort improve first, with elasticity and texture changes becoming clearer over the following weeks.
Maintenance sessions may be scheduled periodically.
Safety and medical considerations
Profhilo is well tolerated when performed by a qualified doctor trained in anatomy and injection techniques.
Patients should be informed about possible warning signs (unusual pain, discolouration, persistent swelling) and know how to contact their practitioner.
Low downtime does not mean low responsibility — this remains a medical procedure requiring precision and follow-up.
Who is Profhilo suitable for?
Profhilo is ideal for people who:
• want natural improvement in skin hydration and texture
• notice dryness and mild laxity together
• prefer subtle, gradual results
Less suitable for those seeking volume restoration or visible lifting.
Profhilo price in Belgium
In Belgium, Profhilo treatments typically start around €270 per session, depending on:
• the area treated (face, neck, décolleté, hands)
• number of syringes required
• practitioner’s experience and follow-up
Since most treatments involve two sessions, patients should consider the full course rather than a single session. Final pricing is confirmed after consultation.
Summary
Profhilo is a bioremodelling HA injectable designed to improve skin hydration, elasticity, and overall quality.
It is suitable for those showing early laxity or dullness who want natural, gradual results.
Success depends on proper indication, precise technique, and realistic expectations — Profhilo helps the skin regain its natural vitality without altering facial features.
