Key Takeaways
- Profhilo is an injectable bio-remodelling treatment that stimulates your own collagen and elastin production using the highest concentration of hyaluronic acid available — 64 mg per 2 ml syringe.
- It is not a filler. Profhilo does not add volume or reshape contours — it improves the quality, hydration, firmness, and elasticity of your skin from within.
- Treatment uses the BAP (Bio Aesthetic Points) technique — just 5 injection points per side of the face, 10 in total — making it one of the quickest and most comfortable injectable treatments available.
- The standard protocol requires two sessions four weeks apart, with maintenance every six to nine months. Results develop gradually over four to eight weeks as new collagen forms.
- Profhilo can treat the face, neck, décolletage, hands, arms, and knees — any area where skin quality and laxity are concerns.
- Published clinical studies confirm statistically significant improvements in skin hydration, elasticity, wrinkle severity, and facial volume loss.
- Downtime is minimal — most patients return to normal activities the same day.

If your skin has lost its bounce, its glow, its firmness — if moisturisers and serums no longer seem to make a meaningful difference — you are not imagining it. From around the age of thirty, the body’s production of collagen and elastin begins to slow. By your forties and fifties, this decline becomes visible: skin feels thinner, drier, and less resilient. Lines appear not from expression but from structural loss. The face begins to look tired even when you are not.
This is precisely the problem that Profhilo was designed to solve — and it does so in a way that no other injectable treatment can replicate. In my practice at the American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery Hospital (AACSH) in Dubai Healthcare City, Profhilo has become one of the treatments I recommend most frequently, because it addresses the root cause of skin ageing rather than masking its symptoms. It does not fill. It does not freeze. It remodels — stimulating your own biology to rebuild what time has taken away.
What Is Profhilo?
Profhilo is an injectable bio-remodelling treatment that contains one of the highest concentrations of hyaluronic acid (HA) available in aesthetic medicine — 64 milligrams of HA per 2-millilitre syringe. But what makes Profhilo fundamentally different from dermal fillers and conventional skin boosters is not merely its concentration. It is its molecular architecture.
Profhilo is manufactured using patented NAHYCO technology (Natural Advanced Hyaluronic Cooperative Complex), which creates stable hybrid cooperative complexes of both high-molecular-weight (H-HA) and low-molecular-weight (L-HA) hyaluronic acid. These two molecular weights are not simply mixed together — they are thermally bonded without the use of chemical cross-linking agents. This distinction is critical, because cross-linking is what gives dermal fillers their structure and allows them to sit in one place, adding volume. Profhilo contains no cross-linking agents. It is designed to spread, to disperse through the tissue, and to interact with your cells at a biological level.
The high-molecular-weight component provides immediate and intense hydration, acting as a moisture reservoir within the dermis. The low-molecular-weight component penetrates deeper into the tissue, where it stimulates fibroblasts — the cells responsible for producing collagen and elastin — and adipocytes, the cells that maintain the fat pads supporting your skin’s structure. This dual-action mechanism is what earns Profhilo the classification of bio-remodelling agent rather than a simple filler or hydrator.
In practical terms, this means Profhilo does not change the shape of your face. It does not plump your lips or define your jawline. What it does is restore the quality of your skin — its hydration, its elasticity, its firmness, its resilience — by triggering your own body to produce the structural proteins it has been losing. I often describe it to patients as pressing a biological reset button on their skin’s ageing process.
How Profhilo Works — Bio-Remodelling and the BAP Technique
The Biology of Bio-Remodelling
The term “bio-remodelling” is not marketing language — it describes a specific biological cascade that Profhilo initiates within the skin. When injected into the dermis, the hybrid HA complex interacts with cell surface receptors on fibroblasts, keratinocytes, and adipocytes, triggering three concurrent processes.
Neocollagenesis — the production of new collagen, primarily types I and III. Collagen provides the structural scaffolding that gives skin its firmness and resistance to gravitational descent. Published studies on Profhilo have demonstrated statistically significant increases in collagen density in treated tissue compared to baseline measurements.
Neo-elastogenesis — the production of new elastin fibres. Elastin is the protein responsible for your skin’s ability to snap back when stretched. Its loss is one of the primary reasons skin begins to sag and crease with age. Very few injectable treatments have been shown to stimulate genuine elastin production — Profhilo is one of them.
Adipocyte stabilisation — Profhilo helps maintain the viability of the subcutaneous fat cells that support the overlying skin. Loss of these fat pads is a major contributor to the hollow, deflated appearance that develops with age, and preserving them helps maintain facial fullness and a youthful contour without adding synthetic volume.
The BAP (Bio Aesthetic Points) Technique
Profhilo is administered using a standardised injection protocol developed by its manufacturer, IBSA Derma, called the BAP (Bio Aesthetic Points) technique. This technique was specifically designed to take advantage of Profhilo’s unique ability to spread and diffuse through tissue — something that cross-linked fillers simply cannot do.
For the face, the BAP technique uses five precisely mapped injection points per side, ten in total. These points are positioned at the zygomatic prominence, the nasal base, the tragus (anterior to the ear), the chin, and the mandibular angle. Each point receives 0.2 ml of product, delivered into the deep dermis using a fine 29-gauge needle. The total treatment requires just ten needlesticks for the entire face.
Why only ten points? Because Profhilo’s non-cross-linked structure allows it to flow and integrate through the tissue planes, distributing itself evenly across the treatment area from each injection point. Cross-linked fillers stay precisely where you place them — that is their purpose. Profhilo is engineered to do the opposite: to spread, hydrate, and stimulate across a broad zone from each strategically chosen point. This makes the treatment remarkably quick (fifteen to twenty minutes for a full face) and significantly more comfortable than treatments requiring dozens of injection points.
For the neck and other body areas, modified BAP protocols use injection points specifically mapped to each anatomical region, ensuring optimal product distribution across the treatment zone.
Treatment Areas
One of Profhilo’s considerable strengths is its versatility. Because it works by improving skin quality rather than adding structural volume, it translates exceptionally well to areas beyond the face — areas where traditional fillers are either inappropriate or less effective.
Face
The face is the most commonly treated area, and the one for which Profhilo was originally developed. Profhilo face treatment in Dubai is particularly sought after by patients who notice their skin looking dull, thin, or crepey but who do not yet need — or want — the volumising effect of dermal fillers. It is especially effective for the lower face and cheek area, where skin laxity first becomes apparent. The 10-point BAP technique ensures even distribution across the full face, with visible improvement in skin tone, texture, and bounce.
Neck
The neck is one of the first areas to show visible signs of ageing, yet it is frequently overlooked in treatment plans. The skin of the neck is thinner than facial skin, has fewer sebaceous glands, and receives significantly less blood supply. These factors make it more vulnerable to environmental damage and less responsive to topical skincare. Profhilo neck treatment addresses the horizontal lines, crepiness, and laxity that develop on the neck with age. A clinical trial registered on ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT04002856) specifically investigated the aesthetic performance of Profhilo injections for neck rejuvenation, confirming its suitability for this challenging area. I find it particularly valuable for patients who notice a stark discrepancy between their well-maintained facial skin and their neglected neck.
Décolletage
The décolletage — the upper chest area — suffers from chronic sun exposure and the thinning of already delicate skin. Years of UV damage, combined with the natural loss of collagen and elastin, leave the décolletage lined, crepey, and textured. Profhilo delivers deep hydration and bio-remodelling to this area, improving skin smoothness and reducing the fine, crinkly lines that make patients self-conscious about wearing open-neckline clothing.
Hands
Hands are often described as the true indicator of age. They become thinner, drier, and more crepey over time as collagen, elastin, and subcutaneous fat diminish. Veins and tendons become more prominent. Profhilo restores hydration and stimulates the production of new structural proteins in the skin of the hands, creating a smoother, healthier appearance without the risks associated with placing volumising fillers in this anatomically complex area.
Arms and Knees
The inner arms and the area above the knees are particularly prone to skin laxity, especially following weight changes or with advancing age. These are areas where traditional treatments offer limited solutions — surgical arm lifts carry significant scarring, and fillers are not appropriate. Profhilo Body, a formulation developed specifically for larger body areas, can improve skin quality and firmness in these zones. A registered clinical trial (NCT03833687) has specifically investigated the aesthetic performance of this injectable treatment for skin roughness and laxity of the inner arm and abdomen, demonstrating its expanding evidence base.
Benefits of Profhilo
Profhilo offers a combination of benefits that no single alternative treatment can fully replicate. Based on my clinical experience administering this treatment over many years, and supported by published clinical evidence, the key advantages include:
- Deep, lasting hydration. The 64 mg of hyaluronic acid per syringe creates an intense hydration reservoir within the dermis. Each molecule of HA attracts and holds up to one thousand times its weight in water, producing hydration that no topical moisturiser can match — particularly important in Dubai, where air conditioning and extreme heat create a relentless cycle of transepidermal water loss.
- Genuine collagen and elastin stimulation. Unlike treatments that provide only temporary surface improvements, Profhilo triggers your own cells to produce new structural proteins. This means the improvement in skin firmness and elasticity is biologically real and progressive.
- Natural-looking results. Because Profhilo does not add volume or alter facial contours, there is no risk of looking “overdone” or artificial. The improvement is subtle and natural — your skin simply looks healthier, firmer, and more radiant. People notice that you look well; they do not notice that you have had a treatment.
- Minimal discomfort and downtime. Ten injection points, a fine 29-gauge needle, and a treatment time of fifteen to twenty minutes. Most patients return to their normal activities immediately. This makes it one of the most accessible treatments in aesthetic medicine.
- Versatility across treatment areas. Face, neck, décolletage, hands, arms, knees — Profhilo can improve skin quality wherever laxity and dehydration are concerns.
- Excellent safety profile. A worldwide post-marketing safety assessment published in BioMed Research International (2020) confirmed a very low adverse event rate, with the majority of reported events being minor and transient injection-site reactions. The product’s purity — free from chemical cross-linking agents, BDDE, and other additives — contributes to its exceptional tolerability.
- Complementary to other treatments. Profhilo works beautifully alongside Botox, dermal fillers, Morpheus8 Pro, and skin rejuvenation treatments. It improves the canvas upon which other treatments work, often enhancing their results.
Profhilo vs Dermal Fillers vs Skin Boosters
One of the questions I answer most frequently in my Dubai Healthcare City clinic is: “What is the difference between Profhilo, fillers, and skin boosters?” All three use hyaluronic acid, all three are injectable, and all three improve the appearance of the skin — but they do so through fundamentally different mechanisms and serve entirely different purposes.
Profhilo is a bio-remodelling agent. It contains non-cross-linked HA that spreads through the tissue, stimulating collagen, elastin, and adipocyte production. Its primary purpose is to improve skin quality — hydration, firmness, elasticity, and tone — across a broad treatment area. It does not add volume, does not contour, and does not stay localised. Think of it as rebuilding the biological infrastructure of your skin.
Dermal fillers are cross-linked HA gels engineered to have structure, viscosity, and lifting capacity. They stay precisely where they are placed, providing volume, contour, and structural support. Fillers define the jawline, enhance the cheeks, plump the lips, and fill deep folds. Results are immediate and visible. Think of fillers as architectural additions — they change the shape and volume of what is already there.
Skin boosters (such as Restylane Skinboosters and Juvederm Volite) are lightly cross-linked or stabilised HA formulations delivered through multiple micro-injections spread across the treatment area. Their primary purpose is to improve skin hydration, texture, and radiance. They sit somewhere between Profhilo and fillers in terms of mechanism — they hydrate and gently improve skin quality, but they do not produce the same degree of bio-remodelling as Profhilo, nor the structural volumisation of fillers.
✓ Profhilo Advantages
- Highest HA concentration available (64 mg/2 ml)
- Stimulates collagen, elastin, and adipocyte production
- Only 10 injection points for the full face
- Treatment completed in 15-20 minutes
- No chemical cross-linking agents (purer formulation)
- Natural, undetectable results
- Treats face, neck, hands, and body areas
- Minimal downtime — return to activities same day
- Excellent safety profile confirmed by post-marketing data
✗ Profhilo Limitations
- Does not add volume — not suitable for contouring or reshaping
- Results are gradual (4-8 weeks) rather than immediate
- Requires two initial sessions four weeks apart
- Maintenance needed every 6-9 months
- Cannot replace fillers for structural concerns (hollow cheeks, thin lips, deep folds)
- Cannot address dynamic wrinkles (those need Botox)
- Temporary small bumps at injection sites for 24-48 hours
In my practice, I frequently combine these treatments for patients who present with multiple concerns. A patient with both skin laxity and volume loss, for example, may benefit from Profhilo to restore skin quality and firmness, followed by strategic dermal filler placement to rebuild structural volume. A patient in their thirties with early skin quality concerns but no structural loss may be best served by skin boosters or Profhilo alone. The art is in matching the treatment — or combination of treatments — to the individual.
The Treatment Process at Our Dubai Clinic
Every Profhilo treatment at my clinic follows a structured, patient-centred process designed to ensure safety, comfort, and optimal outcomes.
Step 1: Consultation and Skin Assessment
Your journey begins with a comprehensive face-to-face consultation at my clinic in Dubai Healthcare City (Building 73). During this appointment, I assess your skin under clinical lighting, evaluate hydration levels, elasticity, laxity, and texture. I examine the specific areas of concern — face, neck, hands, or elsewhere — and take clinical photographs under standardised conditions for comparison after treatment.
I also review your medical history, current medications, and any previous aesthetic treatments. This assessment allows me to determine whether Profhilo is the right treatment for your specific concerns, or whether an alternative or combination approach would serve you better. If Profhilo is appropriate, I explain the treatment protocol, set realistic expectations for results, and schedule your two sessions.
Step 2: The First Treatment Session
On the day of treatment, your skin is thoroughly cleansed and the BAP injection points are mapped on your face. I use a fine 29-gauge needle to deliver 0.2 ml of Profhilo at each of the ten designated points — five on each side. The injections are placed into the deep dermis, just above the subcutaneous fat layer.
Most patients describe the sensation as a brief, mild sting at each point — noticeable but very tolerable. The entire procedure takes fifteen to twenty minutes. There is no need for topical anaesthetic in the majority of cases, though I will apply it if a patient requests it or has a lower pain threshold.
Immediately after treatment, you may notice small raised bumps at each injection site. These are entirely normal — they are simply the product sitting in the tissue before it disperses. These bumps typically flatten within a few hours and are almost always invisible by the following morning.
Step 3: The Second Treatment Session (Four Weeks Later)
The standard Profhilo protocol requires two sessions spaced four weeks apart. This is not optional or arbitrary — the two-session protocol is based on the manufacturer’s clinical data and is designed to deliver the cumulative biological stimulus needed for optimal collagen and elastin production. The first session initiates the bio-remodelling cascade; the second session amplifies and consolidates it.
The second session is identical to the first: the same ten BAP points, the same technique, the same fifteen to twenty minutes. At this appointment, I also photograph your skin and compare it with your baseline images. Many patients are already beginning to notice improvements by this stage — better hydration, a subtle glow, skin that feels slightly firmer to the touch.
Step 4: Review and Maintenance
I schedule a review appointment approximately six to eight weeks after the second session, when the full bio-remodelling effect has developed. At this point, the improvement is typically clearly visible — both to you and in our comparison photographs. We discuss maintenance scheduling, which I generally recommend every six to nine months depending on your individual response, age, and skin condition.
Who Is a Good Candidate?
Profhilo is one of the most broadly suitable treatments in aesthetic medicine, but like every treatment I offer, it works best when matched to the right patient and the right indication.
Ideal Candidates for Profhilo
- Patients aged 30 and above who are noticing early signs of skin quality decline — dullness, dryness, loss of radiance, fine lines from dehydration rather than expression.
- Patients in their 40s and 50s experiencing visible skin laxity — sagging along the jawline, crepey neck skin, loss of firmness and bounce — who want to improve skin quality without volumising fillers.
- Patients with sun-damaged skin showing signs of photoageing: rough texture, uneven tone, loss of elasticity. Dubai’s intense UV exposure accelerates these changes significantly.
- Men and women seeking a natural, undetectable treatment with minimal downtime — Profhilo is popular with patients who want to look refreshed without anyone knowing they have had a procedure.
- Patients preparing for special events such as weddings, corporate engagements, or social occasions — the treatment produces a genuine, healthy glow that photographs beautifully.
- Patients with thin, crepey skin on the neck, décolletage, or hands where traditional fillers are not suitable.
Who Should Consider Alternative Treatments
- Patients whose primary concern is volume loss. If your cheeks have deflated, your lips have thinned, or your jawline needs definition, dermal fillers are the more appropriate treatment. Profhilo will not add volume.
- Patients with deep dynamic wrinkles. Lines that appear with facial expression — forehead lines, crow’s feet, frown lines — are best addressed with Botox. Profhilo improves static skin quality but does not relax the muscles that cause dynamic wrinkles.
- Patients with severe skin laxity. While Profhilo produces meaningful improvement in mild to moderate laxity, patients with advanced sagging may benefit from energy-based treatments such as Morpheus8 Pro or a combination approach.
- Pregnant or breastfeeding women. As with all injectable aesthetic treatments, Profhilo is not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
- Patients with active skin infections or autoimmune conditions affecting the skin in the treatment area should wait until these are resolved before proceeding.
Results and Timeline
One of the most important things I communicate to patients during their consultation is that Profhilo results are not instant. Unlike dermal fillers, which produce an immediately visible change, Profhilo works by stimulating a biological process — and biology takes time. Understanding this timeline is essential for realistic expectations and genuine satisfaction with the outcome.
Week 1-2: Early Hydration
Within the first week after your initial session, you may notice improved hydration and a subtle glow to the skin. This is the direct hydrating effect of the hyaluronic acid itself — the 64 mg of HA is actively attracting and binding water within the dermis. Your skin may feel slightly plumper and softer to the touch. This is encouraging, but it is not the full result.
Week 4: Second Session and Early Bio-Remodelling
By your second session at the four-week mark, the bio-remodelling cascade is underway. Fibroblasts have been activated and are beginning to lay down new collagen and elastin. Some patients report that their skin “feels different” — firmer, more resilient, less dry — even before visible changes are fully apparent. The second session amplifies this biological response.
Weeks 4-8 (After Second Session): Progressive Improvement
The most significant visible improvement develops during the four to eight weeks following the second session. New collagen matures and cross-links, elastin fibres rebuild, and the skin’s structural integrity progressively improves. This is when patients typically begin receiving compliments — “You look really well” or “Have you changed your skincare?” — without anyone suspecting a treatment.
Months 2-6: Peak Results
Peak results are typically visible between two and six months after completing the two-session protocol. The skin appears visibly firmer, more hydrated, more radiant, and more resilient. Fine lines from dehydration are softened. Crepiness is reduced. The overall complexion appears healthier and more youthful. Published clinical data, including a study in Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, has demonstrated statistically significant improvements in skin hydration, wrinkle severity, facial volume loss scores, and transepidermal water loss at the 12-week follow-up.
How Long Do Results Last?
The bio-remodelling effects of Profhilo typically last six to nine months, depending on the individual patient’s age, skin condition, lifestyle, and environmental factors. The collagen and elastin produced in response to the treatment are your own — they are real biological structures that degrade at the same natural rate as any other collagen in your body. Maintenance sessions every six to nine months sustain and build upon the results, and many patients find that with consistent maintenance, their skin quality progressively improves over successive treatment cycles.
Aftercare and Recovery
Profhilo requires less aftercare than almost any other injectable treatment, but following a few simple guidelines ensures optimal results and minimises the risk of complications.
Immediately After Treatment
You will notice small raised bumps at each of the ten injection sites. These are completely normal and are simply the product sitting in the tissue before it disperses. The bumps typically flatten within two to six hours and are usually invisible by the next morning. Mild redness around each injection point is common and resolves within a few hours.
The First 24 Hours
- Do not touch, press, or massage the treated area. Allow the product to distribute naturally.
- Avoid applying makeup or skincare products for at least 24 hours to prevent introducing bacteria to the injection sites.
- Avoid intense exercise, saunas, steam rooms, and hot baths. Elevated body temperature and increased blood flow can exacerbate swelling and increase the risk of bruising.
- Avoid alcohol for 24 hours, as it can worsen swelling and bruising.
- Sleep on your back for the first night if possible, to avoid placing pressure on the injection sites.
Days 2-5
- Avoid excessive sun exposure and tanning beds for 48 hours.
- Resume gentle skincare from day two, but avoid active ingredients such as retinoids, AHAs, BHAs, and vitamin C serums until day three.
- Any mild bruising, if present, typically resolves within three to five days and can be concealed with makeup from day two onwards.
- Avoid facial treatments, massages, and any procedure that applies pressure to the treated area for at least five days.
Long-Term Aftercare
To maximise and extend your Profhilo results, I recommend diligent daily broad-spectrum sunscreen use (SPF 50+), consistent hydrating skincare, and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Sun damage is the single greatest accelerator of collagen and elastin breakdown — protecting the structural proteins that Profhilo has stimulated your body to produce is essential for long-lasting results.
Why Choose Dr. Inaam Faiq for Profhilo in Dubai
Profhilo may appear to be a straightforward treatment — ten injection points and you are done. But the simplicity of the procedure belies the clinical judgement required to deliver optimal results. Choosing the right practitioner is the difference between a treatment that transforms your skin and one that merely marks ten points on your face.
Over twenty years of clinical experience. My career in aesthetic medicine spans more than two decades. I have seen treatments come and go, and I have adopted Profhilo because the clinical evidence supports its efficacy and my own patients consistently demonstrate exceptional results. This depth of experience means I can accurately assess whether Profhilo is the right treatment for you, or whether your concerns would be better addressed with an alternative approach — or a combination.
DHCC-regulated clinical environment. My clinic is located at the American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery Hospital in Dubai Healthcare City (DHCC), Building 73. DHCC is a purpose-built medical free zone regulated by the Dubai Health Authority, with strict clinical governance standards that ensure patient safety, proper product handling, and adherence to evidence-based protocols. When you receive treatment at my clinic, you are treated in a facility that meets the highest regulatory standards in the UAE.
Assessment-first philosophy. I do not offer treatments on demand. Every patient receives a thorough skin assessment before any treatment is recommended. If Profhilo alone will not achieve the result you are looking for, I will tell you — and I will explain exactly what will. If your concerns would be better served by dermal fillers, Morpheus8 Pro, or a skin rejuvenation programme, I will recommend the appropriate path rather than delivering a treatment that will underdeliver on your expectations.
Precision injection technique. The BAP technique may be standardised, but the quality of its execution varies considerably between practitioners. The depth of injection, the angle of the needle, and the speed of product delivery all influence how Profhilo integrates with the tissue and distributes across the treatment area. My technique has been refined through years of practice and continuing professional education, ensuring optimal product placement and distribution at every session.
Integrated treatment planning. Many of my patients benefit from Profhilo as part of a broader aesthetic programme. I commonly combine it with Botox for dynamic wrinkles, dermal fillers for volume restoration, or Morpheus8 Pro for deeper skin tightening and remodelling. Having a single practitioner who understands the interplay between these treatments — and can sequence and time them appropriately — produces results that are greater than the sum of their parts.

Frequently Asked Questions About Profhilo in Dubai
Is Profhilo painful?
Most patients describe the sensation as a brief, mild sting at each injection point — noticeable but very tolerable. The treatment uses a fine 29-gauge needle and involves only ten injection points for the entire face, making it one of the most comfortable injectable treatments available. The full procedure takes just fifteen to twenty minutes, and topical anaesthetic can be applied beforehand for patients who are particularly sensitive. The majority of patients tolerate the treatment without any numbing at all.
How many sessions of Profhilo do I need?
The standard Profhilo protocol requires two sessions spaced four weeks apart. This two-session protocol is clinically validated and is necessary to achieve the full bio-remodelling response — the first session initiates collagen and elastin production, and the second session amplifies it. Maintenance sessions are recommended every six to nine months to sustain results. During your consultation, I will recommend a specific schedule based on your skin condition and treatment goals.
What is the difference between Profhilo and dermal fillers?
Profhilo and dermal fillers serve entirely different purposes. Profhilo is a bio-remodelling treatment that improves skin quality — hydration, firmness, elasticity, and tone — by stimulating your body to produce new collagen and elastin. It does not add volume or change facial contours. Dermal fillers are cross-linked hyaluronic acid gels that stay in one place, adding volume and structure to specific areas such as the cheeks, jawline, lips, or under-eyes. Many patients benefit from both treatments: Profhilo to improve skin quality and fillers to restore volume.
When will I see results from Profhilo?
Improved hydration and a subtle glow are often noticeable within the first week. However, the full bio-remodelling effect — increased firmness, improved elasticity, reduced fine lines, and a visible lifting effect — develops gradually over four to eight weeks after the second session as new collagen and elastin fibres mature. Peak results are typically visible between two and six months after completing the treatment protocol. Patience is important — the gradual development of results is precisely what makes them look so natural.
Can Profhilo be combined with other treatments?
Yes, and in my practice, it frequently is. Profhilo combines excellently with Botox (which addresses dynamic wrinkles that Profhilo does not), dermal fillers (which provide volume and contour that Profhilo does not), and energy-based treatments such as Morpheus8 Pro (which delivers deeper skin tightening and remodelling). I typically space treatments two to four weeks apart and plan the sequence based on your individual treatment goals. During your consultation, I will design an integrated treatment plan if multiple concerns need to be addressed.
Is Profhilo suitable for men?
Absolutely. Profhilo is one of the most popular treatments among my male patients, precisely because the results are natural and undetectable. There is no volumising, no contouring, no feminising effect — simply better skin. Male patients frequently seek Profhilo for skin that looks tired, dull, or aged despite a healthy lifestyle. The treatment restores a healthy, well-rested appearance without any visible sign of cosmetic intervention, which aligns with what most male patients want.
How much does Profhilo cost in Dubai?
The cost of Profhilo in Dubai varies depending on the treatment area and the number of sessions required. During your consultation, I will provide a detailed breakdown of the investment based on your personalised treatment plan. I believe in transparent pricing with no hidden fees.
