Profhilo doesn’t work instantly in the way that dermal fillers do. Instead, it stimulates the skin’s own collagen and elastin production over time. Here’s the usual timeline:
-
Immediately after treatment – You may notice a slight plumping or hydration effect, but this is mostly from the injected hyaluronic acid attracting water. There may also be some temporary swelling at the injection points.
-
1–2 weeks – The skin often starts to feel more hydrated and smoother. Fine lines can appear softer.
-
4 weeks (after the first session) – Most people see visible improvement in skin quality, elasticity, and radiance.
-
8 weeks (after the second session, which is standard protocol) – This is when the maximum results are usually seen: firmer, more luminous skin with improved texture and subtle lifting.
-
Longevity – Results typically last around 6 months, after which maintenance treatments are recommended.
👉 So: Profhilo works gradually, with noticeable improvements usually seen within 4–8 weeks.
What is the difference between Profhilo and Dermal Filler?
🔹 Profhilo
-
Mode of action: Spreads through the skin and bio-stimulates collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid production.
-
Speed of effect:
-
Subtle hydration almost straight away.
-
Noticeable skin quality improvement in 4–8 weeks after completing both sessions.
-
-
Results: Natural, overall skin rejuvenation – improved elasticity, glow, firmness.
-
Best for: Crepey, thin, sagging skin; global rejuvenation rather than adding volume.
🔹 Dermal Fillers
-
Mode of action: Adds volume directly where injected (cheeks, lips, jawline, etc.).
-
Speed of effect:
-
Results are instant (you walk out seeing the change).
-
Settling takes 1–2 weeks as swelling or bruising goes down.
-
-
Results: Structural changes – lifting, contouring, reshaping, or replacing lost volume.
-
Best for: Restoring volume, enhancing features, contouring face shape.
✅ In short:
-
Fillers = fast, structural, localised change.
-
Profhilo = slower, global, skin quality improvement.
