What is PROFHILO?
What is a PROFILO injection?Injectable moisturizers, next-generation hyaluronic acid."The treatment is an injectable treatment called
The official trade name is Profhilo®, a product that has been on the market since 2015 and is a hyaluronic acid created with a patented technology called NAHYCO™ by the Italian company IBSA.
This is the latest treatment that can simultaneously treat sagging skin and improve skin quality, and is attracting attention in the cosmetic medicine industry.
PROFHILO is called the next generation of "hyaluronic acid," but many people recognize that conventional hyaluronic acid is"Bridges."It will be called hyaluronic acid.PROFHILO is "non-cross-linked" hyaluronic acidThis will be the case.
The major difference between cross-linked and non-cross-linked is whether it spreads. PROFHILO, a non-cross-linked hyaluronic acid, spreads from the site of injection and produces a broad spectrum of effects.
Profibro injections are effective for the following problems
- To improve sagging and wrinkles on the entire face (under eyes, eye corners, cheeks, and neck) at once, while also improving skin texture
- Dark circles under the eyes
- Under eye hollows are bothering me.
- Fine lines at the corners of the eyes
- Concerned about moss and sagging of the cheeks
- I want to improve neck wrinkles.
- Stripes and wrinkles on the back of the hands
- I want to rejuvenate my entire face naturally.
- I want immediate results in skin treatment.
Effect｜Profilo has a skin rejuvenation effect.
Profilo has the following benefits
z Improvement of wrinkles and sagging skin
0 Effect of improving firmness and elasticity (increased freshness)
0 Lifting effect
0 Natural volume increase
These effects are achieved by the following properties of hyaluronic acid
- Moisturizing effect
- Promotes tissue repair and regeneration
- Support for cell movement
- Regulation of cell proliferation and differentiation
These properties will be explained based on the following cross-sectional view of the skin.
The skin consists of three layers, each with its own role
- Epidermis｜Barrier function
- Dermis｜Regulates elasticity and firmness
- Subcutaneous tissue｜Insulation and heat retention functions
- Moisturizing effect
Hyaluronic acid has the ability to attract and retain large amounts of moisture in the skin. After being injected into the skin, hyaluronic acid absorbs the surrounding moisture and brings moisture into the skin. This plumps the skin from the inside out, smoothing the surface and improving the appearance of fine wrinkles and roughness caused by dryness. - Promotes tissue repair and regeneration
In the skin, hyaluronic acid activates fibroblasts in the dermis. As a result, the production of new collagen and elastin is stimulated, assisting in the recovery of damaged skin and skin regeneration. This treatment in which damaged skin undergoes tissue repair and recovery is called ECM remodeling treatment.
First, ECM stands for "Extracellular Matrix," which refers to the outer crevice of the cell.
ECM remodeling treatment means remodeling (restructuring) the outer part of these cells, in other words, creating new ones. The cells referred to here are fibroblasts, and the gaps outside the fibroblasts are collagen, elastin, hyaluronic acid, etc.
It is difficult to describe in abstract terms, so I will explain in concrete terms to make it easier to understand.
First, skin firmness, elasticity, and flexibility are produced by collagen and elastin, which are fibrous tissues in the dermis layer, and hyaluronic acid, a gel-like substance that fills in the gaps. And it is fibroblasts that produce these three tissues.
collagen
Elastic fibrous tissue that serves as the skin's foundation as a three-dimensional mesh-like framework
elastin
It is responsible for providing elasticity to the skin and keeping it flexible enough to return to its original shape even when the skin stretches and contracts with the movement of facial expressions. Also plays a role in holding collagen fibers together so that they do not fall apart, helping to maintain the three-dimensional framework of collagen
hyaluronic acid
A substance that fills in the gaps between collagen, elastin, and other fibrous tissues. It has a strong ability to attract water, and when bound to water, it swells to a gel-like state and plays a central role in maintaining the elasticity and moisture of the skin.
fibroblast
They produce collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid. Fibroblasts themselves also self-differentiate and proliferate
In other words, the more fibroblasts, collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid, the younger and healthier the skin.
Skin sags due to aging and UV rays. Aging causes a decrease in the number of cells (fibroblasts) that produce skin and their function declines. UV rays also destroy collagen, elastin, and other fibrous tissue.
When hyaluronic acid stimulates fibroblast activity, collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid are increased and destroyed tissues are repaired. The proliferation of fibroblasts themselves is also stimulated. As a result, the skin regains elasticity and firmness from the inside out and becomes healthier.
This treatment, in which the diminished dermal layer is rebuilt by activating fibroblasts, is called ECM remodeling treatment.
- Support for cell movement
Hyaluronic acid is an important component of the ECM: the extracellular matrix (the interstitial space between cells inside the skin). When the skin's interior is enriched by hyaluronic acid, it facilitates the migration and movement of immune cells and other cells. It also helps deliver nutrients and oxygen to cells in the dermis and supports the elimination of waste products. This effect promotes skin recovery and restores a more even and healthy skin texture. - Regulation of cell proliferation and differentiation
Hyaluronic acid has a regulatory effect on cell proliferation and differentiation. The specific mechanism is too complex and technical to discuss here, but hyaluronic acid provides signals that promote skin cell proliferation and differentiation in the correct direction. This stimulates the production of new skin cells and assists in skin rejuvenation.
When can the effects be felt after the treatment?
When can the effects be felt after the treatment?
Dr. Smaski.The feeling of the effect varies from person to person, but it is often felt gradually from a few days to a few weeks after injection. The maximum effect is usually felt around one month after injection.
How long do the effects last?
How long do the effects last?
Dr. Smaski.It is estimated to last from 6 months to 1 year. For continued effectiveness, we recommend regular injections as maintenance.
Characteristics of PROFILO｜Deep and wide penetration in multiple directions
We have discussed the properties of hyaluronic acid. Here, we will explain the characteristics of PROFILO, including the properties of hyaluronic acid.
Penetrating power to penetrate deeply and widely in multiple directions"
This is what makes Profilo unique.
PROFILO is a special formulation of two types of hyaluronic acid, using the NAHYCO™ technology patented internationally by IBSA of Italy.
High molecular weight hyaluronic acid moisturizes the superficial layers of the skin, while low molecular weight hyaluronic acid penetrates deeper into the skin and exerts its effects. These different hyaluronic acid molecules allow Profibro to penetrate more widely and deeply into the epidermis, dermis, and subcutaneous tissue.
This penetration is stronger than that of other non-cross-linked hyaluronic acids and penetrates deeper into the skin.
It is believed that this permeability allows the action of hyaluronic acid to reach the subcutaneous fat in the subcutaneous tissue, making the skin healthier and plumper.
What is the difference between Profilo and Borite?
What is the difference between Profilo and Borite?
Dr. Smaski.Borite is also a type of hyaluronic acid, but the major difference is the presence or absence of cross-linking. Borite is a cross-linked hyaluronic acid. Although it is cross-linked hyaluronic acid, it is designed through a special manufacturing process to achieve natural spreading and uniform distribution.
Some of the characteristics of borites include the following
Effective for fine expression lines on the face and wrinkles around the eyes and mouth
Provides elasticity and moisture to the skin, contributing to a more youthful appearance
Long-lasting effect and natural finish
No ECM remodeling effect, so no improvement in skin elasticity or skin growth
Cross-linked hyaluronic acid has risks and side effects such as vascular embolization.

FAQ
- How often and how many times should I take the course?
- Dr. Smaski.
Although a single session can be effective, we recommend one of the following as the most effective method
(1) The first and second sessions will be done at one-month intervals, and the same pattern will be continued every year thereafter.
(2) The first and second sessions are performed at one-month intervals, and then continued every six months thereafter.
The skin remodeling effect of PROFHILO increases the extracellular matrix, resulting in skin rejuvenation. Without maintenance, the extracellular matrix will gradually decrease "due to aging" after the peak of treatment. For this reason, we recommend the above procedure. - Do you feel pain?
- Dr. Smaski.
Although it depends on the individual, we use a thin needle, but you may feel a slight stinging pain. It is also said that the center of the face is more sensitive to pain.
- How long is the downtime?
- Dr. Smaski.
Redness will subside in about 24 hours.
- Does it work after just one visit?
- Dr. Smaski.
The effect can be achieved in just one session. The lifting effect can be felt immediately after the first session. On the other hand, most patients will notice the effect after 3 to 4 weeks of skin remodeling.
