Profhilo® Treatments

At RiKo Aesthetics, we offer doctor-led Profhilo® treatments designed to improve skin quality, hydration and elasticity whilst creating a naturally refreshed appearance.

Profhilo® is one of the most advanced injectable skin remodelling treatments available. Rather than adding volume or altering facial contours, it works by stimulating your skin’s natural regenerative processes to improve overall skin health and combat the visible signs of ageing.

Whether treating the face, neck or hands, Profhilo® can help restore a healthier, firmer and more radiant appearance.

What is Profhilo®?

Profhilo® is an injectable skin remodelling treatment containing one of the highest concentrations of pure hyaluronic acid available in aesthetic medicine.

Unlike dermal fillers, which are designed to add structure or volume, Profhilo® spreads beneath the skin to improve hydration and stimulate the production of collagen and elastin.

As we age, our skin naturally loses moisture, elasticity and structural proteins, leading to fine lines, crepey skin and reduced firmness. Profhilo® helps address these changes by encouraging the skin to regenerate from within.

The result is healthier, stronger and more youthful-looking skin without changing your natural facial features.

How does Profhilo® work?

Following injection, Profhilo® disperses through the skin and stimulates four different types of collagen and elastin production.

This process helps to:

  • Improve skin hydration
  • Increase skin firmness
  • Enhance elasticity
  • Improve skin texture
  • Reduce crepey skin
  • Improve skin quality
  • Support tissue remodelling
  • Create a healthier overall complexion

The treatment works gradually, allowing results to develop naturally over several weeks.

Because Profhilo® focuses on skin quality rather than volume enhancement, patients often notice that they simply look fresher, healthier and more rested.

What areas can be treated?

What to expect at your appointment

Your journey begins with a detailed consultation led by an experienced doctor.

Step 1: Consultation

  • Medical history review
  • Skin assessment
  • Discussion of concerns and goals
  • Evaluation of skin quality
  • Development of a personalised treatment plan

Step 2: Treatment

  • Profhilo® is administered using a series of carefully placed injections into specific treatment points.
  • The procedure typically takes around 30 minutes.
  • Most patients describe the treatment as quick and well tolerated.
  • Immediately afterwards you may notice:
    • Small injection marks
    • Mild swelling
    • Mild redness
    • Temporary tenderness
  • These effects typically settle within a few days.

Step 3: Aftercare guidance

  • Clear instructions to optimise results and reduce risk
  • Most patients return to normal activities immediately following treatment.

What results can you expect?

Profhilo® works gradually by stimulating your skin’s own regenerative processes.

Patients commonly notice:

  • Improved hydration
  • Brighter skin
  • Enhanced elasticity
  • Firmer skin
  • Improved texture
  • Reduced crepiness
  • Healthier overall skin quality

Results generally begin to develop within several weeks of treatment and continue to improve over time.

For optimal results, Profhilo® is usually performed as an initial course of two treatments approximately four weeks apart.

Maintenance treatments are typically recommended every six to twelve months depending on individual factors.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Are Profhilo® the same as dermal fillers?
    No. Profhilo® is not a dermal filler. It does not create volume or alter facial contours. Instead, it improves skin quality, hydration and elasticity.
  • How many treatments will I need?
    Most patients begin with two treatments approximately four weeks apart, followed by maintenance treatments every six to twelve months.
  • When will I see results?
    Improvements often become noticeable within a few weeks, with continued enhancement over the following months as collagen and elastin production increases.
  • Is there any downtime?
    Downtime is minimal. Small injection-site bumps may be visible for up to 24–48 hours.
  • Can I combine Profhilo® with other treatments?
    Yes. Profhilo® is commonly combined with anti-wrinkle treatments, dermal fillers, polynucleotides, microneedling and medical-grade skincare as part of a comprehensive treatment plan.
  • Will I still look like me?
    Absolutely. Profhilo® is designed to improve skin quality rather than alter facial shape, making it an excellent option for patients seeking subtle and natural-looking rejuvenation.
