Come Glow & Never Hide

Profhilo in Dubai | Estelaza Clinic – Dubai Silicon Oasis

Profhilo is widely regarded as the most innovative and effective skin booster treatment available in aesthetic medicine today.

Unlike conventional dermal fillers that add volume to specific areas, or standard skin boosters that simply hydrate the skin’s surface, Profhilo works through a unique bio-remodelling mechanism — simultaneously delivering the highest concentration of pure hyaluronic acid available in any injectable product while stimulating the production of four different types of collagen and elastin within the skin.

The result is a profound and visible transformation in skin quality — skin that is deeply hydrated, visibly firmer, smoother in texture, and genuinely glowing — achieved gradually and naturally over a matter of weeks, without altering facial structure or producing an artificial appearance.

At Estelaza Clinic in Dubai Silicon Oasis, Profhilo is administered by DHA-licensed aesthetic doctors who are experienced in the precise injection technique this treatment demands — ensuring your safety, your comfort, and a result that reflects the full potential of this remarkable treatment.

What Is Profhilo?

Profhilo is an injectable treatment developed by the Italian pharmaceutical company IBSA and clinically available in over 70 countries. It contains 64mg of pure, stabilised hyaluronic acid per 2ml syringe — the highest concentration of hyaluronic acid in any CE-marked injectable product on the market.

What makes Profhilo fundamentally different from other hyaluronic acid treatments is its unique formulation. It uses a patented NAHYCO technology that combines both high-molecular-weight and low-molecular-weight hyaluronic acid in a thermally bonded complex — without the use of chemical cross-linking agents that are present in conventional fillers. This distinction matters significantly:

  • Because it is not cross-linked, Profhilo does not act as a structural filler — it does not add volume or change facial contours
  • Instead, it disperses slowly and evenly through the tissue after injection — spreading across a wide area rather than staying localised at the injection point
  • As it disperses, it releases hyaluronic acid progressively — hydrating the skin from within at multiple tissue levels simultaneously
  • The two molecular weights of hyaluronic acid perform different functions — the high-molecular-weight component provides surface hydration and barrier protection while the low-molecular-weight component penetrates deeper to stimulate fibroblasts, the cells responsible for producing collagen and elastin

The combined effect is a treatment that hydrates, regenerates, and restructures the skin — which is why it is correctly described as a bio-remodelling treatment rather than simply a skin booster or filler.

How Does Profhilo Work? The Bio-Remodelling Process

The term bio-remodelling is specific to Profhilo and distinguishes it from all other injectables. Understanding the process explains why results appear gradually and why they look so natural.

Immediate Phase — Hydration

Within the first days after injection, the hyaluronic acid begins to hydrate the tissue it has dispersed into. Water is drawn into the skin at multiple levels simultaneously — the dermis, the hypodermis, and the epidermis — creating a deep, structural hydration that topical products cannot replicate.

Weeks 1–4 — Fibroblast Stimulation

As the hyaluronic acid integrates into the tissue, it stimulates fibroblasts — the cells that produce collagen and elastin. Profhilo uniquely stimulates four types of collagen (I, III, IV, and XVII) and two types of elastin, driving a comprehensive structural renewal process in the skin's support framework.

Weeks 4–8 — Collagen and Elastin Formation

New collagen and elastin fibres form progressively in the treated tissue. The skin becomes visibly firmer, more elastic, and smoother in texture. Fine lines soften. The overall complexion becomes more luminous and even.

Months 2–6 — Peak Result

The full effect of the treatment course is visible. Skin quality is significantly improved — denser, more hydrated, firmer, and with a natural radiance that reflects the improved structural integrity of the tissue beneath.

This entire process uses your own biology. The results are your skin regenerated — not a foreign substance maintaining an artificial appearance.

What Skin Concerns Does Profhilo Address?

Profhilo is a versatile treatment suited to a wide range of skin quality concerns:

  • Skin laxity and loss of firmness — particularly in the lower face, neck, and jawline
  • Chronic dehydration and dullness
  • Crepey, thin, or fragile skin texture
  • Fine lines caused by volume and hydration loss
  • Loss of skin elasticity and bounce
  • Dull, tired, and ageing skin
  • Sun-damaged skin with reduced vitality
  • Neck and décolleté skin ageing
  • Hand rejuvenation — thin, veiny, and crepey hand skin
  • Preventive skin maintenance from the mid-twenties onward

The BAP Technique

How Profhilo Is Injected

Profhilo is not injected the same way as conventional fillers. It uses a specific, validated injection protocol developed by the manufacturer called the BAP technique — Bio Aesthetic Points.

The BAP technique uses five precise anatomical injection points on each side of the face — ten points in total. These points are selected based on their position at the intersection of safe facial zones, away from major blood vessels and nerves, and at locations that allow the product to spread optimally through the tissue.

Each point receives a small depot injection of Profhilo. Because of its unique spreading properties, the product then distributes itself naturally from each injection point across the surrounding tissue — achieving broad, even coverage of the face without the need for the large number of microinjections required by other skin booster treatments.

The BAP technique is a specific clinical skill. At Estelaza Clinic, it is performed exclusively by DHA-licensed aesthetic doctors trained in this protocol — ensuring both safety and optimal product distribution.

What to Expect:

Your Profhilo Treatment Journey

  • Step 1 — Medical Consultation
    A DHA-licensed aesthetic doctor assesses your skin quality, laxity, hydration, and overall facial condition. Your medical history, current medications, and previous aesthetic treatments are reviewed. Your doctor confirms Profhilo is appropriate for your concerns and explains what results are realistic for your skin.
  • Step 2 — Topical Numbing
    Topical anaesthetic cream is applied to the ten BAP injection points on the face and left for 20–30 minutes to ensure a comfortable experience. The skin is then cleansed and sterilised.
  • Step 3 — Profhilo Injection via BAP Technique
    One 2ml syringe of Profhilo is injected across the ten BAP points — five on each side of the face. The entire injection phase takes approximately 15–20 minutes. Most patients describe the sensation as mild to moderate — the numbing cream and the small volume per point make this one of the more comfortable injectable treatments available.
  • Step 4 — Post-Treatment Care
    Small bumps may be visible at the injection points immediately after treatment — these resolve within a few hours as the product spreads. A soothing cream and SPF 50+ are applied before you leave the clinic.
  • Step 5 — Session Two (Four Weeks Later)
    The second session — also one syringe via the BAP technique — is performed four weeks after the first. This completes the initial Profhilo foundation course. Most of the visible result develops between the first and second session and continues to build for 4–8 weeks after the second.
  • Step 6 — Maintenance
    After the initial two-session foundation course, maintenance sessions — one session every 4–6 months — sustain and build upon the bio-remodelling effect over time.

What Makes It Different?

Profhilo vs. Other Skin Boosters

Several injectable skin hydration treatments are available in Dubai, and patients often ask how Profhilo compares. The key distinctions are as follows:

  • Profhilo vs. Juvederm Volite
    Both use hyaluronic acid. Volite uses a lightly cross-linked HA that stays more localised at injection points, delivered via a grid of microinjections. Profhilo’s non-cross-linked, thermally bonded HA spreads through the tissue from just ten injection points and adds the unique bio-remodelling collagen stimulation. Profhilo is generally preferred for patients with skin laxity and more significant skin quality concerns. Volite may be preferred for targeted, superficial fine line treatment.
  • Profhilo vs. Restylane Skinboosters
    Restylane Skinboosters use a lightly stabilised HA delivered via multiple microinjections. They provide good surface hydration and elasticity improvement. Profhilo’s dual-weight HA formulation delivers a broader and deeper bio-remodelling effect with fewer injection points and greater collagen stimulation.
  • Profhilo vs. Mesotherapy
    Mesotherapy delivers a customised cocktail of vitamins, minerals, and low-concentration HA via many superficial microinjections. It is highly personalised and works well for specific nutrient deficiencies. Profhilo delivers a higher concentration of pure HA with a more clinically evidenced bio-remodelling outcome. The two can complement each other within a comprehensive skin programme.
  • Profhilo vs. Sculptra
    Sculptra (PLLA) is a collagen stimulator focused on restoring volume and structural support. Profhilo is a bio-remodeller focused on skin quality, hydration, and texture. They address different layers of the ageing process and are highly complementary — many patients benefit from both in an integrated programme.

Profhilo for the Neck and Décolleté in Dubai

The neck and décolleté are among the most common areas of visible skin ageing — and among the most undertreated. Fine horizontal neck lines, crepey skin, and loss of firmness in the chest and upper neck are frequently the first signs of ageing that patients notice but feel unsure how to address.

Profhilo is one of the most effective non-surgical treatments for these areas. The bio-remodelling mechanism — stimulating collagen and elastin while deeply hydrating the tissue — is particularly well-suited to the thin, delicate skin of the neck and décolleté, which lacks the fat and structural support of the face and responds well to the progressive collagen stimulation Profhilo provides.

Treatment of the neck and décolleté uses the same two-session protocol as the face — one session, then a repeat four weeks later — with maintenance every 4–6 months.

Profhilo for Hands in Dubai

The hands are one of the most accurate indicators of age — thin, crepey skin, prominent tendons and veins, and a loss of the youthful fullness that cushions the back of the hand are all signs of dermal collagen and hyaluronic acid depletion.

Profhilo for hand rejuvenation stimulates collagen and elastin in the dorsal hand skin — improving crepey texture, increasing skin firmness, and restoring a more youthful appearance to an area that few aesthetic treatments address effectively. It is a growing treatment at Estelaza Clinic, particularly popular among patients who have treated their face and neck and wish to extend their rejuvenation programme to the hands.

Why Profhilo Matters Specifically in Dubai

Dubai’s environment accelerates many of the skin changes that Profhilo is designed to reverse. Year-round UV exposure degrades collagen and hyaluronic acid in the skin at a rate significantly higher than in cooler, less sunny climates. The combination of outdoor heat and heavily air-conditioned interiors chronically dehydrates the skin at a structural level that topical moisturisers cannot adequately address. Hard tap water further depletes the skin’s barrier and moisture reserves.

For Dubai residents — whether long-term or newer arrivals — the skin quality loss driven by this environment is real, progressive, and often faster than the patient’s chronological age would suggest. Profhilo’s bio-remodelling mechanism directly counteracts the two primary environmental drivers of this skin ageing process: collagen depletion and structural dehydration.

aftercare:

After Your Profhilo Treatment

Profhilo aftercare is straightforward compared to many other injectable treatments, but a few key steps will protect your result and minimise any post-injection effects:

  • Avoid touching, pressing, or massaging the injection points for the first few hours
  • Do not apply makeup for at least 12 hours after treatment
  • Avoid alcohol for 24 hours — it increases swelling and bruising
  • Avoid strenuous exercise, saunas, and steam rooms for 24–48 hours
  • Apply SPF 50+ before any sun exposure — essential in Dubai
  • Small bumps at the injection points are normal and resolve within hours as the product spreads
  • Mild bruising at injection sites is possible and resolves within 3–5 days
  • Stay well-hydrated — drinking adequate water amplifies the hydration effect of the treatment
  • Attend your second session four weeks after the first to complete the foundation course

Frequently Asked Questions — Profhilo Dubai

Some patients notice an improvement in skin hydration and radiance within 2–4 weeks of their first session. The most visible improvement develops in the weeks following the second session — typically between weeks 6 and 10 of the full treatment course. Results continue to build for up to 3 months after the second session as collagen and elastin formation progresses.

The results of a complete two-session Profhilo foundation course typically last 6 months. Most patients schedule two courses per year — once every 6 months — to maintain and progressively build upon the bio-remodelling effect. With consistent maintenance, many patients find that the interval between sessions can extend over time as the cumulative collagen stimulation builds resilience in the skin.

No. Profhilo is fundamentally different from a dermal filler. Fillers are cross-linked hyaluronic acid that stays localised at the injection point and adds structural volume. Profhilo is non-cross-linked, spreads through the tissue, does not add volume, and works by stimulating collagen and elastin — a process called bio-remodelling. They are complementary treatments that serve different purposes.

The standard Profhilo protocol is two sessions spaced four weeks apart for the initial foundation course, followed by maintenance sessions every 4–6 months. Most patients achieve their best results with consistent maintenance over 12–24 months.

Yes. Profhilo is an excellent preventive treatment for patients in their mid-twenties and thirties who wish to maintain skin quality, hydration, and elasticity before significant ageing occurs. Starting early with regular maintenance is one of the most effective long-term approaches to skin health.

Yes — combination treatment in the same session is possible and commonly performed at Estelaza Clinic. Your doctor will advise on the ideal sequencing and whether same-session or staged treatment is more appropriate based on your individual plan.

Yes. Profhilo contains only hyaluronic acid — a substance naturally present in all human skin regardless of tone — and it does not carry the risks of hyperpigmentation or post-inflammatory reactions that some energy-based treatments pose for darker skin. It is safe across all Fitzpatrick skin types when administered by a qualified doctor.

Profhilo is priced per session — each session uses one 2ml syringe. Contact Estelaza Clinic in Dubai Silicon Oasis for current pricing and to book a consultation where your doctor will confirm the recommended number of sessions for your skin.
