Profhilo is an advanced injectable skin treatment designed to improve skin hydration, elasticity, and overall skin quality. Unlike traditional dermal fillers, Profhilo does not add volume or structure but instead spreads evenly under the skin, stimulating collagen and elastin production for a natural rejuvenation effect.
Profhilo is an injectable skin booster composed of hyaluronic acid (HA), a naturally occurring substance in the skin that retains moisture and promotes skin repair. It is designed to address skin laxity, dullness, and fine lines, making the skin appear firmer, smoother, and more radiant.
