How long does Profhilo last?
A simple guide by Dr Adriana M. Ozery, Doctor Picasso, Limassol
Profhilo® is one of the most popular skin boosters, loved for giving skin a hydrated, firmer, more radiant look without changing your features. One of the questions we hear most is how long the results last — here is what to expect.
What Profhilo is
Profhilo is an injectable made from a high concentration of pure hyaluronic acid. Unlike a dermal filler, it is not used to add volume or change shape. Instead, it spreads under the skin to deeply hydrate it and stimulate collagen and elastin, improving skin quality, firmness and glow.
How many sessions you need
The usual starting course is two sessions about four weeks apart. Each session takes around 15–20 minutes, with a small number of injection points on each side of the face (or the neck, décolleté or hands).
When you will see results
Many people notice their skin looks more hydrated within the first couple of weeks. The full effect usually develops around four weeks after the second session, as collagen production builds up.
How long the results last
After the initial two-session course, results typically last around six months. To maintain them, most people have a single top-up session roughly every six months. How long it lasts for you depends on your age, skin type, lifestyle and sun exposure.
Profhilo vs Profhilo Structura
Profhilo Structura is a newer version designed for the deeper layers of the face, to help support areas where the skin has lost firmness. Dr Adriana M. Ozery will advise which one — or which combination — suits your skin.
Is there any downtime?
Small bumps can appear at the injection points; they usually settle within a day. Most people return to normal activities straight away. Avoid make-up, intense exercise, saunas and alcohol for the rest of the day.
Is Profhilo right for you?
Profhilo suits people who want healthier, firmer-looking skin with a natural result. Every treatment at Doctor Picasso starts with a medical consultation to make sure it is the right choice for you.
