Overview & Procedure

What the treatment is and how it's performed

What it is

Profhilo from IBSA is a hyaluronic acid with a very high concentration. It is placed at a few points, usually five on each side of the face, and spreads evenly under the skin. There it binds water and gives the skin better hydration, firmness and glow. Profhilo Body is used on the body, for example on the arms, abdomen and knees, and Profhilo Structura supports the sides of the face.

  • Two treatments four weeks apart.
  • Maintenance every six months.

  1. The practitioner assesses your skin and goes through your health.
  2. The skin is cleaned and disinfected.
  3. Profhilo is placed at five set points on each side of the face, or at more points on the body.
  4. Small bumps where the product went in flatten out by themselves.

  • Avoid alcohol for the last day and supplements such as fish oil for the last week. This can mean fewer bruises.
  • Come without make-up.
  • Stop using retinol and acids three days before the treatment.

The treatment itself takes 10–20 minutes.

Experience & Recovery

Pain level, downtime and healing

Most people rate the discomfort 2–3 out of 10, because there are few pricks.

  • Common: redness, small bumps, tenderness and small bruises where the needle went in.
  • Uncommon: swelling that lasts a few days, especially under the eyes.
  • Rare: infection, an allergic reaction or small lumps that last longer than a few weeks.

  • Do not touch the area, and wait until the next day before wearing make-up.
  • Avoid hard exercise, saunas, hot baths and alcohol for the first day.
  • Use gentle skincare for the first days, and wait three days before using retinol and acids.
  • Use a high-factor sunscreen, and avoid strong sun until the skin has settled.

Usually 1 day of small bumps. The bumps at the points where the product went in flatten out within 6–24 hours. Small bruises can occur.

Expectations & Safety

Who it's for and safety information

  • Skin boosters hydrate and strengthen the skin from within. They do not add volume or lift sagging skin.
  • The result comes gradually and needs a series of treatments.
  • Skincare at home and sun protection affect how long the result lasts.

  • Dry or lax skin that has lost firmness.
  • Fine lines and skin that looks tired.
  • The neck, décolleté, hands and body areas with thin skin.

  • Anyone who wants volume or contour. Filler suits better.
  • A lot of loose skin. Other treatments may suit better.
  • Anyone who wants a result after a single treatment.

The effect comes gradually and is clearest four weeks after the second treatment. It often lasts about six months.

  • Pregnancy and breastfeeding.
  • Infection, active acne, cold sores or inflammation in the area.
  • Known allergy to any of the ingredients.
  • Bleeding disorders. If you take blood-thinning medicine, tell the clinic.
  • Active autoimmune disease, unless a doctor has cleared you.

Contact the clinic if pain, swelling or redness increases after two days, or if you get a fever, pus or blisters. Contact the clinic at once if the skin turns pale, white or bluish.
