Ten years ago, the world of aesthetics was introduced to something quite revolutionary. A skin treatment that didn’t promise to plump like fillers or freeze like toxins, but instead worked with your skin, restoring what time and stress had gradually worn away, and this was Profhilo.

In 2025, Profhilo is celebrating its 10th birthday, and it’s safe to say: we all still love it! We've been providing Profhilo for the past 9 years, earning its place as a clinic favourite, and a patient go-to for millions of Profhilo lovers around the World. What makes it so special? Why has it stood the test of time when so many other treatments have come and gone?

Let’s take a look at the story behind Profhilo’s success and why at Springwell Clinic, we still rate it so highly in 2025.

The Profhilo Story

When Profhilo launched in 2015, we became one of the first clinics to adopt the treatment because Profhilo was innovative, carving out a whole new category of injectable skincare - biostimulators. Unlike traditional dermal fillers that add volume or reshape, Profhilo didn’t alter structure, it rejuvenated from within, working with the body's natural processes. Something we hadn't seen in Medical Aesthetics.

Developed in Italy by IBSA Derma, Profhilo was designed to bio-remodel the skin. Its unique formulation is made up of pure hyaluronic acid (HA) in a patented hybrid form, neither a filler nor a skin booster, but something cleverly positioned in-between.

This innovation wasn’t just a one-hit wonder. It offered visible, natural-looking results with minimal downtime; Profhilo meant no puffiness, no ‘done’ look, just dewy, glowing, hydrated skin. It’s no wonder it took the aesthetics industry by storm and was an advance in medical aesthetics with a credible future.

The Science is Still ‘Now’

Profhilo’s longevity in the industry is no accident. The science behind it remains one of the most exciting in non-surgical aesthetics. Here’s why: The use of Ultra-Pure Hyaluronic Acid, one of the highest concentrations of HA on the market (64mg/2ml), but without any chemical cross-linking agents. That means fewer side effects and a cleaner product; A Dual-Action Power - Working on both hydration and stimulation; The high molecular weight HA hydrates the surface layers of the skin, while the low molecular weight HA penetrates deeper to stimulate the production of collagen and elastin.

Profhilo is bioremodelling instead of ‘filling in’ lines and wrinkles. Profhilo rebuilds and strengthens the skin from the inside. This results in firmer, smoother, more elastic skin, not temporarily, but progressively. It’s the perfect match for patients who want results without sacrificing their natural expressions. In other words, the ‘You - But Better’ effect.

Results That Speak for Themselves

A single Profhilo treatment is impressive, but a full course (usually two treatments spaced 4 weeks apart) delivers skin that looks plumper, brighter, and fresher for up to six months. Patients often describe it as a “subtle transformation” - the kind where people notice you look great, but can’t quite put their finger on why, and may comment, 'Have you just been on holiday?' - who doesn't want that 'Just been on holiday' look?!

Profhilo’s Expanding Reach

In the early days, Profhilo was primarily used for facial rejuvenation. But as the years have gone by, practitioners and patients alike have discovered its power in treating other areas too. At Springwell Clinic, we are amazed by the results of Profhilo Body - using Profhilo on other areas of the body. On the neck and décolletage - where it softens crepey texture and restores smoothness; On the hands to hydrate for more youthful-looking skin; Arms and knees, where it is particularly effective on lax, sun-damaged skin; and the abdomen where it firms up post-pregnancy or post-weight-loss skin.

Why We Still Love Profhilo 10 Years On

So, what keeps our customers coming back Profhilo year after year?

In an age where less is more, Profhilo delivers results that are authentic and undetectable. It doesn’t freeze or plump, it just makes skin behave like younger skin again. That’s a huge appeal for both first-timers and aesthetic regulars.

Clinically Proven Results

The clinical studies supporting Profhilo are robust, showing measurable improvements in skin hydration, elasticity, and firmness. Patients report high satisfaction, and the repeat booking rate remains impressively high even 10 years on.

It’s a Preventative, Not Just a Fix

You don’t need to wait until you see visible ageing to start using Profhilo. In fact, many patients in their late 20s and 30s use it proactively to delay the signs of ageing. Prevention, after all, is always better than cure!

It Boosts Confidence

Profhilo doesn’t just improve skin , it gives you overall confidence in those areas of the body that matter most to you. In today’s high-definition, feeling good in your skin is more important than ever, and Profhilo provides this.

The Evolving Profhilo Family

To mark its 10th year, it’s worth noting that Profhilo hasn’t stayed static. IBSA has continued to innovate, building a small but powerful product family:

Profhilo Body – Designed specifically for areas like the neck, arms, stomach, and thighsProfhilo Structura – A newer hybrid formulation launched in 2024, aimed at deeper tissue bio-remodelling, offering a ‘lifting’ effectProfhilo HAENKENIUM – A topical antioxidant cream to support and prolong in-clinic results
