Profhilo®
Profhilo® is a major innovation in aesthetic medicine: a bioremodeling injectable treatment that deeply and intensely hydrates the skin. Unlike traditional fillers, it restores firmness and suppleness to the face without altering volume or expression, thanks to its high concentration of hyaluronic acid. Suitable for both men and women, it provides beneficial effects for patients of all ages. It is the ideal treatment for skin lacking tone, delivering a natural result and a long-lasting “radiance boost.”

What is Profhilo® ?
Profhilo® is a highly concentrated hyaluronic acid injection, specifically designed to deeply bioremodel the skin. Unlike volumizing injections, its goal is not to reshape facial volumes, but to improve overall skin quality by naturally stimulating collagen and elastin production.
Objectif
Improve skin hydration, firmness, and elasticity while preserving natural facial volumes and expressions. The goal is to naturally stimulate collagen and elastin production across the mid and lower third of the face. It acts as a true “youth booster,” helping to densify the tissues.
Principle
Hyaluronic acid is injected using a specific technique that allows for even diffusion into the tissues, providing a gradual revitalization of the skin. Thanks to its patented composition, the product releases hyaluronic acid progressively.
Active
Profhilo® is made of pure hyaluronic acid, used for its hydrating and biostimulating properties. It works directly on skin quality by promoting deep hydration and skin regeneration.
Differences from other injections
Profhilo® does not fill or freeze facial features. It acts as a foundational treatment, aiming to sustainably improve the quality and firmness of the skin.
Indications and areas treated
Profhilo® is intended for patients looking to prevent or correct signs of skin aging while respecting the natural anatomy of the face and body. This treatment is particularly recommended when the skin loses tone, radiance, and elasticity, without the need for volume correction.
Main Indications
Skin laxity, loss of firmness, deep dehydration.
Secondary Indications
Crepey skin, dull complexion, texture irregularities.
Treated Areas
Specific Areas
While the face is the most requested area, Profhilo® is also effective on the hands, arms, knees, and abdomen.
Limitations
Profhilo® does not replace a volumizing treatment or surgical facelift when these are indicated.
How does the session take place?
1 Consultation
Each treatment begins with a personalized aesthetic consultation at Maison Tōa in Lausanne. Our aesthetic specialist doctors analyze skin quality, expectations, and medical history to confirm the indication for Profhilo®. This step allows us to define a tailored protocol and explain the procedure of the session.
Read more2 Treatement
Each Profhilo® session lasts approximately 20 minutes. The treatment is performed using the BAP (Bio Aesthetic Points) technique, with 10 precise injection points (5 on each side of the face). These strategic points allow for an even and natural distribution of the product in the dermis while minimizing the risk of bruising. The injections are minimally painful and do not require anesthesia or post-session massage.
Read more3 The follow-up
After a Profhilo® session, normal activities can be resumed immediately. Mild papules or small bruises may appear temporarily as the product diffuses, usually around 4 hours. To optimize results, it is recommended to avoid makeup, intense physical activity, and exposure to high heat (sauna, steam bath, hot baths) for 24 hours.

- Allergies: Known hypersensitivity to hyaluronic acid.

The aftermath of a Profhilo® session is generally simple, with no social downtime. However, temporary effects may occur:
- Mild bumps (small papules): Small bumps at the injection points are normal and disappear within 4 to 12 hours as the product diffuses.
- Local reactions: Slight redness or tenderness at the injection sites.
- Bruising: Minor bruises may occasionally appear but resolve quickly and can be concealed with makeup the next day.
