Profhilo is a hyaluronic acid injectable that improves hydration, smoothness and firmness without adding volume. It is typically given as two sessions four weeks apart, with mild, short lived side effects and gradual results that often last about six months. Estheticare Group offers Profhilo in Islamabad after a one to one consultation.

What is Profhilo?
Profhilo is an injectable skin treatment made by an Italian pharmaceutical company, IBSA. It contains a high concentration of hyaluronic acid (HA), a natural substance that helps skin hold water and stay supple. Because it improves skin quality rather than adding volume, it’s often called a “skin booster” or “bio remodelling” treatment.
How Does it Work?
Your skin’s hyaluronic acid reduces with age, along with its ability to hold moisture. After injection, Profhilo gradually disperses through the skin instead of staying in one pocket. It supports hydration immediately and, over the following weeks, encourages the skin to produce more collagen and elastin. That is why results build rather than appear instantly.
Does Your Skin look Different from How it Feels Inside?
Plenty of people tell us the same thing they sleep well, drink water, use good skincare, and still feel their skin has lost its bounce. Makeup settles into fine lines. The neck looks crepey. The cheeks seem a little flatter by the evening.
That isn’t a flaw in your routine. Skin naturally holds less hyaluronic acid as we age, and it loses firmness along with it. Profhilo was created to help with exactly this kind of quality loss, rather than to reshape your face.
So What Does Profhilo Do?
Think of it as moisture and support delivered below the surface. The gel is made of hyaluronic acid, a molecule your skin already uses to stay plump and hydrated. Unlike a filler that stays where it’s placed, Profhilo spreads through the tissue after injection and supports the skin’s own hydration, elasticity and collagen activity.
What you can expect over time:
- Skin that feels more hydrated and looks fresher
- A softer, smoother surface
- Better firmness in areas that have started to loosen
- A natural look, since your features stay exactly as they are
If your main concern is hollow cheeks, a weak jawline or deep folds, Profhilo isn’t the right tool, and we will tell you so. Sometimes a different treatment, or a combination, suits you better.
Profhilo vs Dermal filler
| Profhilo | Dermal filler | |
| Purpose | Improve skin quality and hydration | Add shape, volume or definition |
| Movement | Spreads under the skin | Stays where it is placed |
| Look | Smooth, fresh, hydrated | Fuller, sculpted |
| Typical use | Overall skin quality | Targeted contour areas |
They are not rivals. Some patients benefit from both, with a plan from their practitioner.
Who is Profhilo for?
It tends to suit people who notice:
- Dull or dehydrated skin
- Fine lines and early looseness
- Thin or crepey skin on the neck
- Skin that has lost its glow after weight change, stress or sun exposure
- A wish for a subtle improvement with little downtime
It is not designed to replace volume, correct deep folds, or lift sagging skin dramatically.
Treatment Areas
- Face: cheeks, jawline and lower face, often treated at defined injection points on each side
- Neck: a common area for skin laxity and fine horizontal lines
- Décolletage: for texture and crepiness
- Hands: for thin, dry looking skin
What Happens During Treatment?
- Consultation. Your history, skin and goals are reviewed.
- Cleansing. The skin is prepared; numbing cream is optional.
- Injection. Small amounts are placed at set points following the standard protocol.
- Aftercare. You receive instructions before leaving.
Sessions are usually short, and you can generally return to normal activities soon after.
How Many Sessions Will You Need?
The usual course is two sessions about four weeks apart. After that, many people choose a maintenance session every few months, often around the six-month mark, depending on how their skin responds. We recommend a plan only after seeing your skin, never a fixed package for everyone.
When Will You See a Difference?
Skin often feels more hydrated within the first few weeks, and the improvement continues to build after your second session. It isn’t an overnight change. If a clinic promises a dramatic transformation after one visit, be a little careful.
Longevity varies with age, skin condition, sun exposure and lifestyle, so treat any single number as a rough guide.
Recovery and Aftercare:
Common: small bumps, redness, tenderness, mild swelling or a little bruising. These typically settle within days.
Helpful Habits for the First Day or Two:
- Avoid rubbing or massaging the area unless your practitioner says otherwise
- Skip strenuous exercise, saunas and alcohol for a short time
- Keep skin clean and use sunscreen daily
Call the Clinic if Swelling spreads quickly, pain intensifies, or you notice unusual changes in one area.
Results: timeline and longevity
| Time | What many people notice |
| First days | Bumps settle skin may feel hydrated |
| 2 to 4 weeks | A smoother, fresher texture |
| After session two | Fuller benefit as collagen activity builds |
| Around 6 months | Results gradually fade maintenance may be discussed |
Individual results differ. Age, sun exposure, smoking, sleep and skincare all play a part.
9. Is Profhilo safe?
Profhilo is widely used, and most people experience only mild reactions. As with any injectable, there are small risks, including bruising, infection, allergic reaction and, rarely, more serious vascular complications. This is one reason to choose a qualified clinic.
Avoid or postpone treatment if you:
- Are pregnant or breastfeeding
- Have an active infection or skin condition in the area
- Are allergic to hyaluronic acid
- Have a bleeding disorder or weakened immunity (get medical advice first)
10. How Much Does Profhilo Cost in Islamabad?

- The area treated (face, neck, hands)
- Number of sessions
At Estheticare Group: The price for the Profhilo treatment starts from 75,000 PKR up to 120,000 PKR
