Profhilo – Skin Improvement and Firming of the Face and Neck in Oslo
Profhilo
Profhilo is an award-winning injection treatment containing pure, stabilized hyaluronic acid that hydrates, improves skin quality, and provides a unique tissue-tightening effect.
Practical information
Profhilo is one of the market's leading injection products for treating sagging skin and loss of elasticity, particularly in the face and neck. The product contains one of the highest concentrations of pure, stabilized hyaluronic acid (HA). Unlike traditional fillers, Profhilo provides minimal volume but spreads quickly in the tissue where it rehydrates the skin and stimulates the body's own production of collagen and elastin.
How does Profhilo work?
Profhilo works by slowly releasing hyaluronic acid, allowing it to spread over a large area of the skin, thereby activating receptors in the skin. This diffusion deeply hydrates the tissue, and the stimulating effect on skin cells, known as fibroblasts and keratinocytes, leads to increased production of collagen and elastin. This repairs the skin and tightens the tissue, helping to improve sagging and reduce fine lines.
What can Profhilo treat?
Profhilo is an effective treatment for areas that have lost elasticity and moisture. The treatment is particularly suitable for:
- Face (general sagging and fine lines)
- Neck (improves skin quality and "turkey neck")
- Hands
- Upper arms
- Knees
Is the treatment painful?
The pain experience is individual, but most people only experience slight discomfort during the injection itself. Using the BAP technique (only 5 pricks) reduces the number of injections, which minimizes discomfort. Local anesthetic cream can be used if needed for increased comfort.
How long does the treatment take?
The injection procedure itself only takes 10–20 minutes, but time should be set aside for consultation and any necessary anesthesia.
Side effects
Immediately after treatment, swelling and redness may occur at the injection sites, in addition to small lumps or unevenness caused by the product. This is normal and will disappear within a few hours or days as Profhilo spreads through the tissue. As with all injection treatments, there is a risk of bruising.
What kind of results can you expect?
Profhilo usually requires two treatments four weeks apart to achieve optimal results. You will see the first signs of improved skin quality after one month. The full, firming effect is seen after the second treatment. The results typically last for six to twelve months, depending on skin type and lifestyle.
Security and expertise
Profhilo is an injection treatment that requires good anatomical knowledge and precise injection technique. At Nordstrandklinikken , the treatment is performed exclusively by our experienced cosmetic nurses who have specialized training in the BAP technique to ensure your safety and a natural, balanced result.
