Introduction: What Makes Profhilo the Gold Standard in Bio-Remodelling
Profhilo has revolutionised the aesthetic medicine landscape in London, offering patients a unique approach to skin rejuvenation that goes far beyond traditional dermal fillers. This innovative treatment represents a paradigm shift in how we approach facial ageing, focusing on bio-remodelling rather than simply adding volume or smoothing lines.
At The London Cosmetic Clinic, we’ve witnessed firsthand the transformative effects of Profhilo on our patients’ skin quality, hydration, and overall appearance. Unlike conventional treatments that target specific areas or concerns, Profhilo works holistically to improve skin quality from within, creating natural-looking results that enhance your inherent beauty rather than altering it.
Why Profhilo is Different from Traditional Treatments
The key to understanding Profhilo lies in recognising what sets it apart from other injectable treatments available in London. Whilst traditional dermal fillers add volume to specific areas and anti-wrinkle injections relax muscles to smooth lines, Profhilo takes an entirely different approach.
This treatment contains one of the highest concentrations of hyaluronic acid available in aesthetic medicine, but it’s formulated in a way that allows it to spread naturally through the skin tissues. Rather than staying in one location like traditional fillers, Profhilo disperses throughout the treatment area, stimulating collagen and elastin production whilst providing intense hydration.
Understanding Profhilo: The Science Behind Bio-Remodelling
What is Profhilo?
Profhilo is a stabilised hyaluronic acid injectable treatment that works through a process called bio-remodelling. The product contains 64mg of hyaluronic acid per 2ml syringe, making it one of the most concentrated HA treatments available. However, concentration alone doesn’t tell the full story.
The revolutionary aspect of Profhilo lies in its unique formulation. The hyaluronic acid is stabilised using a patented NAHYCO® technology that creates both high and low molecular weight HA chains. This dual-weight system allows the product to:
•Provide immediate hydration through low molecular weight HA
•Stimulate long-term collagen production through high molecular weight HA
•Spread naturally through tissues without creating lumps or bumps
•Improve skin elasticity and firmness over time
How Bio-Remodelling Works
Bio-remodelling represents a fundamental shift in how we approach skin ageing. Traditional treatments often focus on replacing what’s been lost—adding volume where it’s decreased or relaxing muscles where lines have formed. Profhilo, however, works by stimulating your skin’s own regenerative processes.
When injected into the skin, Profhilo acts as a bio-stimulator, encouraging the production of:
| Component | Function | Timeline |
| Type I Collagen | Provides skin structure and strength | 4-6 weeks |
| Type III Collagen | Offers flexibility and elasticity | 6-8 weeks |
| Elastin | Maintains skin bounce and resilience | 8-12 weeks |
| New Blood Vessels | Improves skin nutrition and glow | 2-4 weeks |
The Five-Point Technique
Profhilo treatment follows a specific injection protocol known as the five-point technique. This method has been carefully developed to ensure optimal distribution of the product whilst minimising discomfort and maximising results.
BAP (Bio Aesthetic Points) System
The five injection points on each side of the face are strategically chosen based on:
1.Anatomical safety – Avoiding major blood vessels and nerves
2.Optimal distribution – Ensuring even spread throughout facial tissues
3.Natural facial architecture – Working with your face’s natural contours
4.Minimal discomfort – Reducing the number of injection points needed
These points are located at:
•Point 1: Mid-cheek area
•Point 2: Upper cheek near the zygomatic arch
•Point 3: Lateral temporal area
•Point 4: Lower face near the mandibular angle
•Point 5: Mental area of the lower face
Profhilo Treatment Areas and Applications
Facial Bio-Remodelling
The face is the primary treatment area for Profhilo, where its bio-remodelling effects can create comprehensive skin improvement. Unlike targeted treatments that address specific concerns, facial Profhilo provides overall enhancement that affects:
Skin Quality Improvements
•Hydration levels increase significantly within days
•Skin texture becomes smoother and more refined
•Pore appearance reduces as skin plumps naturally
•Overall radiance improves through better skin health
Structural Enhancements
•Mild lifting effect occurs as skin tightens
•Facial contours become more defined
•Jawline definition improves subtly
•Cheek projection enhances naturally
Neck and Décolletage Treatment
The neck and décolletage areas often show signs of ageing that can be challenging to address with traditional treatments. Profhilo offers an excellent solution for these delicate areas, providing:
Neck Rejuvenation Benefits
•Reduction in horizontal neck lines
•Improved skin elasticity and firmness
•Better hydration in this often-neglected area
•Smoother skin texture overall
Décolletage Enhancement
•Softening of chest wrinkles and lines
•Improved skin quality and hydration
•Better overall skin tone and texture
•Reduced appearance of sun damage
Hand Rejuvenation with Profhilo
Hand rejuvenation represents one of the most dramatic applications of Profhilo treatment. The hands often betray our age more than our faces, developing thin, crepey skin with prominent veins and tendons. Profhilo can significantly improve hand appearance by:
•Thickening the skin naturally through collagen stimulation
•Improving hydration in chronically dry hand skin
•Reducing vein prominence through skin plumping
•Creating smoother skin texture overall
This treatment can be combined with our Radiesse Hand Rejuvenation for comprehensive hand enhancement.

Frequently Asked Questions About Profhilo
Treatment-Related Questions
How painful is Profhilo treatment?
Most patients find Profhilo treatment very comfortable. The injection sensation is minimal, often described as tiny pinpricks. Many patients don’t require topical anaesthetic, though it’s available if preferred.
Can I have Profhilo if I’ve had dermal fillers before?
Yes, Profhilo can be safely combined with existing dermal fillers. In fact, it often enhances the results of previous filler treatments by improving overall skin quality.
How soon can I wear makeup after treatment?
You can apply makeup 6 hours after your Profhilo treatment, once the injection sites have sealed. Use clean brushes and gentle application techniques.
Will people notice I’ve had treatment?
Profhilo provides very natural-looking results. People are more likely to comment that you look refreshed or well-rested rather than obviously “done.”
Results and Expectations
When will I see results from Profhilo?
Initial improvements in skin hydration and glow appear within 1-2 weeks. The full bio-remodelling effects develop over 4-8 weeks, with optimal results visible at 2-3 months.
How long do Profhilo results last?
Results typically last 6-9 months. Some patients maintain benefits for up to 12 months, especially with good skincare and lifestyle habits.
Can Profhilo replace a facelift?
Profhilo provides subtle lifting and skin improvement but cannot replace the dramatic results of surgical procedures. It’s excellent for early signs of ageing and skin quality improvement.
Is Profhilo suitable for men?
Absolutely. Profhilo is equally effective for men and women. Many male patients appreciate the natural, subtle improvements it provides.
Safety and Suitability
What’s the minimum age for Profhilo treatment?
While there’s no strict minimum age, Profhilo is typically most beneficial for patients over 30 who are beginning to notice skin quality changes. Younger patients might benefit more from preventative skincare.
Can I have Profhilo during pregnancy?
No, Profhilo treatment is not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding as a precautionary measure, despite hyaluronic acid being naturally present in the body.
Are there any long-term risks with Profhilo?
Profhilo has an excellent long-term safety profile. The hyaluronic acid is gradually broken down by the body’s natural processes, leaving no permanent residue.
Can I exercise after Profhilo treatment?
Light activities can be resumed immediately, but we recommend avoiding intense exercise for 48 hours to minimise swelling and allow optimal product distribution.
