What is Profhilo?
Profhilo® is a pioneering hyaluronic acid moisturising treatment, distinguished by its innovative use of the patented NAHYCO® technology. This advanced formulation produces a unique injectable gel that provides sustained stimulation to dermal cells. Upon administration, Profhilo® actively engages skin cell receptors, effectively combating skin laxity and enhancing skin firmness.
With one of the highest concentrations of hyaluronic acid available on the market, Profhilo® not only deeply hydrates the skin but also actively remodels ageing and sagging tissues. It is versatile in application, effectively treating areas prone to signs of ageing such as the face, neck, décolletage, hands, arms, knees, and abdomen. This treatment is universally suitable, providing significant skin health benefits across diverse age groups and for both men and women.
