Profhilo - Two Years On: What Have I Learned?

In September 2019, Dr. Siew Tuck Wah was one of the first few doctors in Singapore to be invited to Italy to learn about Profhilo so that he could teach other doctors to administer the treatment.
2 years after the introduction of Profhilo, we revisit what it does and the differences between Profhilo and regular HA fillers.
In this video, Dr. Siew also shares with us what he thinks of Profhilo, whether it serves its purpose as an anti-ageing, skin-rejuvenating injectable treatment, and some side effects that may occur.

Thank you, very helpful

Glad it was helpful!

I have bap for face and neck areas. What is the recommended use on the Décolletage area, i.e needle depth/ layer? Or is there a more suitable product for this area ...it is so hard to treat. Thank you kindly

What is best for skin hydration?

[@lejla9358]

Informative video, thank you! Do you think it would be a bad idea to have a CO2 laser treatment one to two months after getting profhilo injected ?

[@RadiumMedicalAesthetics]

Hi Lejla, it shouldn't be a problem. It would be a good combination treatment for stimulating collagen to hydrate and smoothen uneven skin.

[@l.a.6193]

Hi Dr. I am confused by the VO statement. It is my understanding that Profile is non cross linked. Are you referring to a compression occlusion?

[@RadiumMedicalAesthetics]

Hi Susan, the HA in Profhilo consists of both high molecular weight (H-HA) and low molecular weight (L-HA), and are non cross-linked.

[@tor1444]

Are non cross linked fillers different to crossed linked? Do cross linked last longer?

[@MD-nw6zt]

Hello dr. Is jalupro worth the hype?

[@sarahmilner8483]

Love your chanel. Would profhilo and a microneedling session have a giod result together and how much time would you reccommend to leave between the two treatments? 🙏

[@dranelbebato6845]

👍👍🥰

[@sc9683]

Hi, is doing prophilo a good preventative aging strategy? I don’t have any lax skin or anything but I have heard that doing these treatments can prevent /slow down aging? Do they stimulate a lot of collagen?

[@RadiumMedicalAesthetics]

There are other treatments that can stimulate more collagen. Profhilo is a good treatment to deeply hydrate and remodel the skin texture for a more youthful appearance. Speak to your doctor to find out what he/she may recommend to reverse and/or delay signs of premature skin ageing.

Does it helps in Acne pitted scars

[@diyanahmusfirah4924]

Hi Dr, can profhilo be used more on the under eyes area? My biggest concern is on my eyebag but i am looking for alternatives other than dermal filler like profhilo. Is there other procedure/ injectable other than filler that helps on eyebag?

[@RadiumMedicalAesthetics]

Hi Diyanah, thanks for your message. There are other treatments such as energy-based devices such as lasers or Ultherapy or even radiofrequency microneedling treatments. It depends largely on the condition - whether it is due to skin laxity or fatty tissue, or a combination of both. See a doctor and have a discussion with him/her to determine what is best for you.

[@julia-zf8sj]

Hiya! I had two Jalupro skin booster done. How long after this can I try the profilo booster? Thanks x

[@RadiumMedicalAesthetics]

Give it another 4 weeks or so or until the bumps have subsided.

[@MD-nw6zt]

Have you seen any improvements with jalupro please

[@annabenezue5624]

I saw in the video that you injected in the tear trough or under eye area.. Is it safe to inject there and will this give me a little bit of plumpness for dark circle and hollow?

[@RadiumMedicalAesthetics]

Hi Anna, thank you for your comment. Although there are 5 main points to inject Profhilo, it can be injected on other areas if the doctors deem fit. It is generally safe to inject on most parts of the face.

[@mikaska4302]

Hi, since it can cause necrosis, can you dissolve the product with hyaluronidase - like you do with the filler when complication like this happens?

[@RadiumMedicalAesthetics]

Hi mika ska, if the complication is recognised and managed without delay, the adverse effects can be properly managed without major problems.

[@colleenmcdermott203]

I don’t know how this can cause necrosis? It’s a pure hyaluronic acid, just like we have naturally in our bodies. I could see an infection if the injector isn’t careful and doesn’t clean properly.

[@RadiumMedicalAesthetics]

@@colleenmcdermott203 Although rare, necrosis that may arise from injectables can happen when the substance interrupts or reduces blood flow in the face. When there is reduced or no blood flow, the area with insufficient blood circulation will die, hence leading to necrosis.

[@fughjivfddtguugc2955]

I thoight this happens only with cross linked products

[@gauravshakyawar8915]

Sir I had taken 4 session laser tonning and one session TCA chemical peel but my skin friction during sleep so I TCA peel leave one mark after that I meet again dermatologist he advised me cosmalan peel after cosmalan peel my skin looks more darker and uneven skin tone and dull how to remove sir tell me I totally frustrated

[@sashawong591]

does need to be aspirated before injection? i don’t see they doing that in the video

No. Not deep injection nor cross linked

Hi Dr, did you try Ejal40? Is it better to do Ejal40 or Prophilo?

Profhilo works better

[@liveds959]

Would this be suitable at all for skin laxity above the knees?

[@RadiumMedicalAesthetics]

Hi luna95, thanks for your message. It depends on the severity of skin laxity. It can be used on its own or combined with other skin tightening treatments as well.

[@hayleysmith8100]

Hi I had mine done 6 days ago but noticed one side already looks amazing , my other side no so much I look like I have an odd face , is this normal? Will it balance out ? It’s my first treatment

[@RadiumMedicalAesthetics]

Hi Halyley, this shouldn't happen. But do give it another 1-2 weeks. If you still don't see result on the other side, go back to your doctor to have it checked.

[@James-ol5mw]

Hello Doctor, can profhilo improve acne rolling scars? Ive tried subscision, co2 laser, mircro needling and derma fillers but all no effect.

[@RadiumMedicalAesthetics]

Hi James, Profhilo can help to reduce appearance of uneven skin texture but it may not be the most suitable treatment. Perhaps you can seek a 2nd opinion to have your condition properly assessed and have a discussion with the doctor about your previous treatments.

[@mlhamiltonanderson5940]

The best thing for acne scarring is a) Fraxel 1927 and 1550 and then b) Retrieve 0.05% cream (prescription only) . I have used both and my skin (aged 51) looks like I am in my mid 30s.

[@nitnitsap8408]

Does it help deep acne scarring look less visible? I mean is it good for deep acne scarring?

[@RadiumMedicalAesthetics]

Hi Nitnit, thanks for your message. You should see some improvement but Profhilo is not the first option we will recommend for deep acne scarring. It may require skin resurfacing treatment for better results. Also, we may recommend subcision treatment to break the scars under the skin.

[@biohack215]

Can blindness happen with profhilo as it can with filler?

[@stevebirch7175]

I was not aware of any risk to my eyesight. I have now had two treatments and can see the difference. I am pleased with what was done. Was also advised to drink lots of water daily as it helps the treatment.

Hi Doctor, is it safe for breastfeeding mom?? Thanks

[@RadiumMedicalAesthetics]

How do you inject the thighs? Does it help?

[@RadiumMedicalAesthetics]

Hi Abby, thank you for writing in. Profhilo can be used on thighs but it may not be the best treatment option as people rarely get skin laxity on thighs.

Hi even though it gives hydration and promotes collagen etc cant this remain after it goes. And if it doesn’t last. Can it heal skin permanently?

[@RadiumMedicalAesthetics]

Hi Guy S, thanks for your question. Doctors will recommend a series of treatment so that the benefits will last longer. During the initial treatment, it is advisable to undergo 2 treatments, each held 4 weeks apart. Once the initial 2 treatments are completed, it can repeat the treatment every 9 to 12 months for maintenance. Hope it helps.

[@ahmed4130]

@@RadiumMedicalAesthetics but can it heal skin permanently? For example if I have sun damaged skin etc you mentioned in the video it’s good for skim healing so even if you don’t repeat treatment can it heal damaged skin and promote healing ?

[@RadiumMedicalAesthetics]

@@ahmed4130 Profhilo works better for people experiencing skin laxity due to ageing. It helps with collagen remodelling ,subtle skin tightening and overall skin rejuvenation. If you have a specific skin concern such as sun damaged skin, doctors may still likely recommend you to undergo a series of laser treatments specifically targeting the damaged skin and reversing sun damage.

@@RadiumMedicalAesthetics I’ve had 1 session of profhilo last week but I don’t like the result it’s made my face to fat will this last long can I get it removed? Or because I’ve had only 1 session will it go away fast? Thankyou

[@RadiumMedicalAesthetics]

@@ahmed4130 It shouldn't make your face look fat. Profhilo is not a facial filler that volumises or augments your face. Give it a bit more time to see if it will subside. If not, go back to your doctor to have it checked.

Hey, would this work for stretch marks ?

[@RadiumMedicalAesthetics]

Hi Jodii, thanks for your message. Yes, Profhilo works well for stretch marks and skin laxity on the body too.

[@jodiiperez9591]

Amazing thanks so much for replying I wonder will it reduce the appearance and tighten the skin after a few sessions ? I'm wanting this for my arms

[@RadiumMedicalAesthetics]

@@jodiiperez9591 You should see visible results after 3-4 sessions. Most importantly, look for a doctor you trust and have a conversation about this. The doctor also needs to assess your skin texture and condition to determine if Profhilo is the best treatment option for you.

Hi doctor, profhilo can treat the forehead area?😯

[@RadiumMedicalAesthetics]

Hi Isabella, thank you for writing in. Profhilo can also be used to treat the forehead although it is not commonly done. There are more suitable treatments to treat wrinkles and lines on the forehead such as botulinum toxin.

[@reardelt]

can we use tretinoin with profhilo?

[@RadiumMedicalAesthetics]

Hi Jay, thank you for your question. We don't see any issue in undergoing Profhilo treatment if you are using tretinoin. You might have to skip one day of tretinoin after the treatment to avoid any irritation. However, it is best to consult a doctor so that the doctor will be able to tell you the benefits and risks after taking your history.

Can It restore facial fat?

[@RadiumMedicalAesthetics]

Hi Rafaele, thanks for your question. It is not the most suitable treatment to restore facial fat. It does plump up the skin to reduce appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.

[@raffaelecorrente1123]

@@RadiumMedicalAesthetics profhilo Is chemically different from sculptra but both increase collagene production. Wonder why sculptra Is considered a volumizer and PROFHILO Is not. From your experience, does PROFHILO increases volume?
