Profhilo explained

Profhilo is a skin booster made by the Italian company IBSA. It contains a high concentration of hyaluronic acid that is stabilised by heat rather than chemical cross-linking. It is used to improve skin quality, not to add shape like a filler.

How Profhilo works

The doctor injects small amounts of Profhilo at five points on each side of the face, a pattern called the Bio Aesthetic Points. The product spreads slowly under the skin and hydrates it. It is also designed to support the skin's own collagen and elastin. Small bumps at injection points usually flatten within a day.

Who Profhilo is for

• Dry, dull or dehydrated skin
• Mild skin laxity and crepey texture
