Profhilo is a formulation developed and manufactured by IBSA of Italy. It is a next-generation “hybrid hyaluronic acid formulation” that hydrogen bonds two types of hyaluronic acid, high molecular weight hyaluronic acid and low molecular weight hyaluronic acid, using an internationally patented technology called NAHYCO® technology.

Unlike typical hyaluronic acid, which works by “swelling and filling in,” Profhilo is a regenerative procedure  that “reconstructs and repairs the skin structure” to restore lost firmness and elasticity to the skin, supporting rejuvenation.

Here we will explain the features of the profhilo and points to note.

How to work Profhilo

Conventional hyaluronic acid procedure aim to improve wrinkles by injecting hard hyaluronic acid into depressions and grooves, filling them in.

The effectiveness of this procedure depends on how well the hyaluronic acid remains in place after injection, without absorption.

On the other hand, Profhilo is highly fluid and has the ability to diffuse and penetrate into the surrounding area(about radius 2cm)rather than remaining at the injection site.

When injected into the surface of the skin, Profhilo penetrates smoothly into the deeper subcutaneous tissue and fat layer, stimulating dermal fibroblasts to promote the production of collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid, thereby plumping up the skin.

Furthermore, as a result of “tissue remodeling (cell reconstruction),” you can expect natural anti-aging effects (rejuvenation effects) in various forms, not just the improvement of wrinkles, but also improvements in pores, skin texture and luster, reduction of dullness, and whitening effects.

Profhilo, which provides these various effects, is a hyaluronic acid preparation of a completely different dimension from conventional hyaluronic acid, which simply fills in depressions and grooves, and can be thought of as a treatment closer to regenerative medicine than a simple injection treatment.

Next-generation hybrid hyaluronic acid

Hyaluronic acid comes in low and high molecular weight forms, and its biological effects vary depending on its molecular weight.

Profhilo uses NAHYCO Hybrid Technology to loosely bind low and high molecular weight hyaluronic acid.

A complex of low molecular weight and high molecular weight hyaluronic acid (hybrid hyaluronic acid) diffuses and increases the extracellular matrix, causing “skin remodeling.”

These effects are said to help restore firmness, wrinkles, and sagging skin.

Highly safe ingredients

Conventional hyaluronic acid generally contains an ingredient called a cross-linking agent.

Cross-linking is the process of linking hyaluronic acid together to create new chemical bonds, like building a bridge between hyaluronic acid molecules.

Cross-linking slows down the absorption of hyaluronic acid at the injection site, prolonging its duration.

To crosslink hyaluronic acid, hyaluronic acid is reacted with an additive called a crosslinking agent.

After injection, any unreacted crosslinker is removed, however, it cannot be removed 100% and very small amounts will remain.

In very rare cases, small amounts of this residual crosslinking agent may cause an allergic reaction.

Profhilo is highly safe because it does not contain any crosslinking agents, chemicals, or biological agents.

Profhilo Effects

Gives skin firmness, radiance, and moisture, rejuvenates the skin, and reduces wrinkles

・Tightening action improves skin volume and lifts the skin

・Improves moisture and elasticity

・Improves all types of wrinkles, from nasolabial folds to fine lines

・Brightening, skin texture and pigmentation improvement

The beauty effect spreads throughout the skin

Conventional hyaluronic acid remains at the injection site, so it does not distribute throughout the face in one procedure.

Therefore, it is difficult to directly improve the firmness and elasticity of the skin on the entire face or neck.

The biggest feature of Profhilo is that it spreads subcutaneously from the injection site and throughout the entire face.

On the face, it is injected into just 10 different sites and diffuses throughout the face, improving skin firmness and elasticity.

Long-lasting effect

The lifting effect can be felt immediately after injection, but the improvement of symptoms due to remodeling of skin cells (skin firmness, elasticity, lifting) will appear gradually over a period of several weeks to a month.

For the first time, you will be able to see noticeable changes if you have two treatments on the same area, one to two months intervals

In addition, the effect lasts for about six months to a year, so it is said that by reinjecting after six months or continuing the treatment every year, the condition of your skin will be maintained.

Because of its diffusing power, there are fewer injection points and treatment time is shorter.

Prophilo Injection Method: What is BAP (Bio Aesthetic Point)?

Prophilo is injected into 10 pinpoint locations on the entire face.

Prophilo’s Hybrid Hyaluronic Acid diffuses through the tissue at least radius 2cm square from the point of injection.

The fact that Prophilo solution contains an ultra-high concentration of 64 mg of hyaluronic acid in 2 ml of solution is another reason why it only requires injection into 10 locations across the entire face.

With fewer injection sites, procedure time is shorter and pain is minimal.

    Disadvantages, side effects and risks of Prophilo

    Redness, lumps, and swelling after injection

    Immediately afterwards, you may feel a lump at the injection site, but this is temporary as it will dissipate naturally.

    In most cases, it will be less noticeable the next day.

    Internal bleeding

    You may experience some internal bleeding, but for most people this will subside within two weeks.

    FAQ

    Is it painful?

    The needle is thin, so there is a slight tingling pain when it is inserted.

    Prophilo is a non-crosslinked hyaluronic acid preparation, but because it has a high viscosity and is injected into the shallow layer, a unique dull pain is felt for 5 to 10 seconds after injection.

    There is no pain after completion.

    At our clinic, we use anesthesia when you get Prophilo , so even those who are sensitive to pain can receive treatment with peace of mind.

    What is the difference between Prophilo and Sunekos?

    Both are injectables that have a cellular matrix remodeling effect, helping to remodel and nourish the skin.

    Prophilo contains high concentration hyaluronic acid, while Sunekos contains non-crosslinked hyaluronic acid and six types of amino acids.

    Therefore, there is a slight difference in the effects, with Profhilo having a strong volume-adding and lifting effect, while Sunekos is recommended for those who want to restore firmness and elasticity to their skin.

    Which is better for dark circles under the eyes: Prophilo or Sunekos?

    Because Prophilo has a certain degree of hardness, it is not recommended for use around the eyes.

    To improve wrinkles, sagging, and dark circles around the eyes, Sunekos injections, which have a similar mechanism of action to Prophilo,are suitable.

    Prophilo Injection Fee

    One syringe (2cc) for face or neck costs 79,800 yen.

    One procedure uses one syringe.

    Anesthesia fee included
