PROFHILO® at the Aesthetic Center in Saint-Louis : tissue remodeling and improvement of sagging skin
The world of aesthetic medicine is constantly evolving, offering ever more innovative, safe and effective solutions. Among these innovations, Profhilo has recently emerged as a major breakthrough, redefining our approach to skin rejuvenation and tightening
PROFHILO® injections at the Biolaser center in Saint-Louis on the border of Basel (Basel) and near Mulhouse use an innovative process called “Bio-remodeling”. This technique involves injecting high-concentration non-cross-linked hyaluronic acid into the skin, which stimulates the natural production of collagen and elastin. After injection, the product is designed to spread evenly through all tissues, making it an ideal treatment for the face, neck and even décolleté, arms and knees.
What is Profhilo?
PROFHILO® is an injectable product based on concentrated hyaluronic acid (64mg/2 ml) used at the Saint-Louis aesthetic medicine center near Mulhouse and Belfort-Montbéliard and Colmar, specially designed to improve the overall quality of the skin, increase its hydration and stimulate the production of collagen and elastin. Unlike traditional fillers, Profhilo works by stimulating the skin from within, providing deep hydration while reshaping the skin.
The viscoelastic and moisturizing properties of hyaluronic acid, combined with the ability to maintain adequate levels of hyaluronic acid in skin tissues, rehydrate the skin and create optimal conditions to prevent and compensate for the skin aging process while promoting tissue remodeling with a corrective effect on photo- and chrono-aging and any possible healing of the skin.
Clinical studies show that PROFHILO® hasimproved the extracellular environment by maintaining favorable conditions for the viability of the skin cells in charge of the production of elastic and collagen and on the lower adipose compartments, ensuring the effectiveness of preventive and corrective aesthetic medicine treatments.
PROFHILO®: Properties and Security Profile
01
High-quality, ultrapure hyaluronic acid
PROFHILO® is a high-quality ultrapure hyaluronic acid solution with a high molecular weight (H-HA; 1100-1400 kDa) and a low molecular weight (L-HA; 80-100 kDa) solution. The high and low molecular weight hyaluronic acid, used in the device, is obtained by biofermentation by streptococcus zooepidemicus
02
Excellent biocompatibility and biodegradable
Thanks to NAHYCO technology, it is free of chemical stabilizing agents (especially no BDDE) and is therefore extremely well tolerated.
Hyaluronic acid cooperative hybrid complexes (HCCs) are biodegradable and bioresorbable by the body.
03
High diffusion capacity and low viscosity
In addition, thanks to a specific and patented treatment of the solution (NAHYCO® Hybrid Technology), the H-HA and L-HA chains contained in PROFHILO,® interact reciprocally, providing unique rheological characteristics, which allows the administration of higher concentrations of hyaluronic acid with a predominance of fluidity (diffusion capacity) over elasticity (low viscosity).
Who can benefit from Profhilo treatment at the Center for Aesthetic Medicine in Saint-Louis ?
The Profhilo treatment is suitable for any adult who wants to improve the appearance of their skin, whether it is dehydrated, dull, sagging or sagging. It is particularly recommended from the age of 30, when the skin begins to show the signs of time. The most frequently treated areas are the face, neck, hands and décolleté and arms.
PROFHILO®, thanks to its corrective/plumping action of natural and induced skin depressions, intervenes:
- in the physiological process of skin aging, which is manifested, among other things, by reduced skin hydration, alteration of elastic fibers and collagen of the dermis, with loss of firmness and tone of the skin;
- in the process of repairing dermal tissues, in the case of scarring resulting from superficial skin trauma (e.g., acne and chickenpox).
Profhilo is therefore particularly indicated for the treatment of various skin conditions, including:
- Dehydrated and dull skin
- Sagging skin on the face, neck, décolleté, arms and knees
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Loss of skin volume
- Young skin in anti-aging prevention
An initial cycle of 2 sessions 30 days apart is necessary, renewable if necessary. All esthetic injection techniques are indicated in the intradermal layer.
The BAP technique consists of 10 injection points on the face and neck :
What are the expected results with Profhilo at the Center for Aesthetic Medicine in Saint-Louis ?
Clinical studies have shown significant results as early as 4 weeks after the 1st injection and clinically visible results up to 4 months. The duration of Profhilo results can vary from person to person, but in general, the effects last for about 6 to 9 months. However, it’s important to note that the results can be influenced by factors such as age, lifestyle, and skincare habits. Booster therapy is recommended after 6 months.
Profhilo Advantages :
- Deep Hydration : Profhilo provides intense hydration to the skin, which improves the skin’s texture and luminosity. It also helps reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
- Collagen and Elastin Stimulation : By activating the natural production of collagen and elastin, Profhilo helps to improve skin firmness, resulting in a more youthful and toned appearance.
- Natural appearance : Unlike some other aesthetic treatments, Profhilo does not freeze facial expressions or alter natural facial features. The results are subtle and harmonious.
- Fast and painless treatment : Profhilo injections are relatively quick, usually less than 30 minutes, and not very painful because the product contains lidocaine, a local anesthetic.
- No downtime : After a Profhilo session, patients can return to their normal daily activities immediately, as there are usually no major side effects.
WE ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS
Before starting treatment, a prior consultation with a qualified professional in aesthetic medicine is essential. The practitioner will assess the condition of your skin, discuss your expectations and goals, and determine if Profhilo’s treatment is appropriate for you.
The treatment session will begin with a thorough cleaning and disinfection of the area to be treated. Once the skin has been cleansed, the practitioner will make a precise marking on the injection areas. These marks indicate the key points where the product will be injected to achieve the best results.
The practitioner will use a fine needle to inject the Profhilo directly into the dermis of the skin, using the marked points as a guide. The product is usually injected at five points on each side of the face, along the neck and décolleté, as well as in the targeted areas of the arms, depending on the specific needs of the patient.
During the injection, some people may feel a slight tingling or burning sensation. However, the product usually contains lidocaine, a local anesthetic, to minimize discomfort.
The procedure is generally well tolerated by most patients.
A Profhilo treatment session usually lasts 30 minutes, depending on the number of areas to be treated. After injections, the practitioner can lightly massage the treated area to ensure even diffusion of the product.
Although Profhilo is generally well tolerated, there are certain conditions that may contraindicate its use. It is not recommended for use in people with autoimmune diseases, pregnant or breastfeeding women, or in people with a known sensitivity or allergy to hyaluronic acid.
Overall, Profhilo is considered a safe treatment with few side effects. However, as with any medical procedure, there are some potential risks to consider.

It is important to follow the post-treatment care instructions provided by your healthcare provider to minimize these risks.
