A Guide to Profhilo Injection in Kuala Lumpur
As the skin ages, it gradually loses hyaluronic acid (HA), a key component in maintaining moisture and elasticity. Profhilo is an HA-based treatment that combines the benefits of fillers and skin boosters to enhance skin hydration and firmness.
Developed by IBSA, a leading manufacturer of hyaluronic acid products, Profhilo is often described as an “Injectable Moisturiser” due to its high HA concentration (64mg/2ml). The treatment improves skin hydration, elasticity, and overall skin quality.
- Enhances skin firmness and tightness
- Stimulates four types of collagen and elastin
- Improves skin hydration and texture
- Aids in tissue repair, including acne scars
- Minimises downtime with fewer injection points
What is Profhilo?
Profhilo is a patented HA-based injectable treatment that targets signs of skin aging. It contains both low and high molecular weight hyaluronic acid, which work together to stimulate collagen, elastin, and adipocyte (fat) stem cells that decrease with age.
How Does Hyaluronic Acid Work?
Profhilo is an injectable treatment that delivers hyaluronic acid (HA) directly into the skin to improve hydration and elasticity. It contains a hybrid formulation of high and low molecular weight HA, which allows for slow release and prolonged activity in the skin. Unlike traditional dermal fillers, which add volume to specific areas, Profhilo spreads evenly across the treated region, stimulating the skin’s natural repair processes. The treatment is administered using the Bio Aesthetic Points (BAP) technique, which involves injecting small amounts of the product at strategic points to ensure even distribution.
- Low Molecular Weight HA (L-HA): Deeply hydrates the skin from within, similar to traditional skin boosters.
- High Molecular Weight HA (H-HA): Forms a stable structure in the dermis, offering a lifting effect similar to fillers.
Once injected, the high molecular weight HA provides structural support within the dermis, helping to maintain skin firmness, while the low molecular weight HA penetrates deeper to enhance moisture retention. This dual action stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, which are essential proteins for maintaining skin strength and flexibility. Over time, the increased hydration and collagen remodeling improve skin texture, reduce fine lines, and enhance overall skin quality. The effects typically develop over several weeks, with optimal results achieved after two treatment sessions spaced about a month apart.
How Is The Treatment Process Like?
Profhilo is administered using the Bio Aesthetic Points (BAP) technique, which involves 10 injection points (5 on each side of the face). This method ensures even distribution and minimises discomfort. Unlike conventional skin boosters that require over 30 injection points, Profhilo’s approach reduces the risk of bruising and swelling.
