If you’ve ever wished your skincare could work a little harder — and go a little deeper — you’re not alone. For many people, dry, tired-looking skin doesn’t bounce back with just serums or moisturisers alone. And that’s where Profhilo® comes in.
Often nicknamed the ‘injectable moisturiser’, Profhilo® is a revolutionary skin treatment that hydrates from beneath the surface. But it’s not just about moisture. Profhilo® works on multiple levels to revive dull, dehydrated, and crepey skin in a way that no topical product can match.
So what exactly is it, and why is it so effective for dry or ageing skin?
What Is Profhilo®?
Profhilo® is an injectable treatment made from ultra-pure hyaluronic acid (HA) — a molecule naturally found in the body that holds up to 1,000 times its weight in water.
But unlike traditional dermal fillers that plump or sculpt specific areas, Profhilo® isn’t used to add volume. Instead, it’s designed to spread evenly through the skin, creating deep, long-lasting hydration while stimulating the production of collagen and elastin — the building blocks of firm, glowing skin.
The result? A smoother, brighter, and more youthful-looking complexion, achieved without altering your facial structure.
Why Dry, Dull Skin Needs More Than Just Moisturiser
Dry or dehydrated skin can happen for a range of reasons — weather, ageing, hormonal changes, lifestyle, and even overuse of harsh products. When skin lacks hydration, it often becomes:
- Rough or flaky in texture
- Dull or uneven in tone
- Tight, sensitive, or irritated
- Prone to fine lines and a ‘crepey’ appearance
Topical moisturisers can help temporarily, but they only sit on the surface of the skin. That means they don’t penetrate deeply enough to address long-term dehydration or support the skin’s natural repair functions.
Profhilo® goes further by working from the inside out, restoring hydration at the cellular level — where it really counts.
How Profhilo® Works Beneath the Skin
High Concentration of Hyaluronic Acid
Profhilo® contains one of the highest concentrations of HA available in any injectable treatment — but it’s the way it’s formulated that makes it unique.
Using a patented process called NAHYCO® technology, Profhilo® blends two types of HA (high and low molecular weight) into a gel that:
- Spreads easily under the skin without forming lumps or adding volume
- Hydrates deeply and evenly across the treated area
- Stays in place long enough to activate key skin cells
Bioremodelling, Not Just Hydration
Once injected, Profhilo® doesn’t just moisturise — it kickstarts your skin’s own repair process. The HA encourages the production of collagen and elastin, improving:
- Elasticity (skin feels more supple and bouncy)
- Firmness (especially around the cheeks, jawline and neck)
- Overall skin quality (less dullness, more glow)
This process is known as bioremodelling — essentially rebuilding the skin from within.
Where Can Profhilo® Be Used?
Although it’s best known as a facial treatment, Profhilo® is incredibly versatile and works beautifully on areas that show early signs of ageing or dehydration:
- Face – improves overall texture and tone
- Neck – helps reduce horizontal neck lines and crepey skin
- Décolletage – restores brightness and elasticity
- Hands – hydrates and softens visible signs of ageing
- Inner arms – smooths and tightens delicate skin
Because Profhilo® spreads so evenly, it delivers a soft-focus effect across the entire treatment area, making it ideal for people who want results without looking “done.”
What to Expect from Treatment
A typical Profhilo® treatment takes around 30 minutes and involves a series of small injections into strategic points just under the skin. The most common protocol is:
- Two sessions, spaced four weeks apart
- Followed by maintenance sessions every 6–9 months depending on your skin’s needs
You may notice a mild glow or tightness after just a few days, but the real transformation happens gradually over the following 4–6 weeks as your skin produces more collagen and elastin.
There’s minimal downtime — you might see small bumps at the injection sites for 24–48 hours, but these settle quickly and are easy to cover with makeup if needed.
Is Profhilo® Right for You?
Profhilo® is an excellent option if:
- You have dry or dehydrated skin that doesn’t improve with skincare alone
- You want to improve skin quality without altering your natural facial structure
- You’ve noticed fine lines, loss of firmness, or a lack of glow
- You’re looking for a natural, low-maintenance way to support ageing skin
- You prefer subtle results that build over time rather than drastic changes
It’s suitable for most skin types and tones and can be a great first injectable for clients who aren’t ready for fillers or more targeted treatments.
Hydrated, Glowing Skin Starts Beneath the Surface
Profhilo® has earned its nickname as the ‘injectable moisturiser’ for good reason — but it’s so much more than that. By delivering ultra-pure hyaluronic acid where your skin needs it most, Profhilo® doesn’t just hydrate — it rebuilds, restores and renews.
If your skin feels dry, dull, or lacking in bounce, Profhilo® could be the gentle yet powerful reset you’ve been looking for.
