What is Profhilo?

Profhilo is an injectable skin treatment composed of 100% pure hyaluronic acid (HA), a naturally occurring molecule that retains moisture and stimulates collagen production. It works by hydrating and remodeling the skin from within, making it an ideal choice for those seeking a naturally youthful complexion.

By delivering high concentrations of hyaluronic acid into the skin, Profhilo boosts hydration, improves skin elasticity, and stimulates the production of collagen and elastin—two essential proteins that maintain skin firmness and bounce.

Why is Profhilo Especially Beneficial for East Asian Skin?

East Asian skin is known for its higher collagen density compared to other ethnicities, which helps maintain a youthful appearance for longer. However, it also has specific concerns that Profhilo effectively addresses:

1. Prone to Dehydration

Despite having a naturally thicker dermis, East Asian skin often suffers from dehydration. Profhilo replenishes moisture at a deep level, preventing dullness, fine lines, and loss of elasticity.

2. Delayed but Sudden Aging

East Asian skin tends to age differently—it maintains firmness for longer but then experiences a sudden onset of sagging and loss of volume in the late 30s or early 40s. Profhilo works preventatively by stimulating collagen production before significant laxity occurs, keeping the skin firmer for longer.

3. Sensitive and Reactive Skin

Many East Asians experience sensitivity to skincare ingredients and environmental changes, which makes Profhilo an excellent choice. Since it is free from synthetic chemicals and cross-linking agents, it is well-tolerated even by those with delicate or reactive skin.

4. Hyperpigmentation Concerns

East Asian skin is more prone to post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) and sunspots. While Profhilo itself doesn’t target pigmentation, its deep hydration helps strengthen the skin barrier, making it more resilient against environmental damage and preventing premature aging.

How Does Profhilo Differ from Other Skin Treatments?

1. Not a Filler or Botox

Unlike fillers that add volume or Botox that reduces muscle movement, Profhilo works holistically by enhancing the overall quality of the skin. It smooths, firms, and hydrates without altering facial features.

2. Highest Concentration of Hyaluronic Acid

Profhilo contains the highest concentration of HA (64mg per 2ml syringe), making it one of the most potent hydrating injectables available. This is crucial for East Asian skin, which thrives on deep hydration.

3. Bio-Remodeling, Not Just Hydration

Many skin boosters focus solely on hydration, but Profhilo also stimulates collagen and elastin production, helping to maintain firm, plump skin over time.

4. Minimal Downtime, Natural Results

Profhilo is injected into five strategic points on each side of the face, ensuring even distribution and minimal discomfort. The result? A natural, radiant glow that develops gradually over a few weeks.

Who Would Benefit from Profhilo?

Profhilo is ideal for both men and women looking to enhance their skin quality without drastic changes. It’s especially suited for:

1. Young Professionals Battling Dehydration

Long hours in dry office environments, stress, and lack of sleep can lead to dull, tired-looking skin. Profhilo restores hydration, giving your skin a refreshed and healthy glow.

2. Those in Their Late 20s and 30s Wanting Prevention

Since East Asian skin tends to experience delayed but rapid aging, starting Profhilo in your late 20s or early 30s can help prevent sudden skin sagging and maintain collagen levels.

3. Individuals Concerned About Fine Lines and Wrinkles

Profhilo smooths out fine lines, particularly around the eyes, mouth, and forehead, without the need for Botox or fillers.

4. People Experiencing Early Skin Laxity

If you’ve noticed slight sagging, especially around the jawline and cheeks, Profhilo can tighten and lift these areas naturally.

5. Anyone Looking for the Coveted “Glass Skin” Effect

If you love the Korean glass skin look, Profhilo is one of the best ways to achieve luminous, dewy, and plump skin that lasts for months.

How to See Maximum Results from Profhilo

To get the best results, two sessions spaced four weeks apart are recommended, with an optional third session for those needing extra rejuvenation. Staying well-hydrated maximises hyaluronic acid’s effects, and combining Profhilo with medical microneedling or  polynucleotides, further enhance collagen stimulation. A skincare routine with hyaluronic acid, vitamin C, and SPF 50 sunscreen will help maintain results, while avoiding smoking, excessive alcohol, and prolonged sun exposure ensures longer-lasting benefits. For ongoing maintenance, a single top-up session every 6-9 months is recommended.
