Profhilo: what to ask first.
The questions to ask before a Profhilo skin booster, on the genuine product, the injector, the plan, and the result. Information only. We never name a clinic, we teach you how to choose one.
about a month apart

counterfeits exist
What should I ask first?
Before Profhilo, confirm the genuine product is being used and stored correctly, who injects and their qualifications, and what the plan and total cost are. Expect a starting course, often two sessions about a month apart, with results building over weeks and typically lasting around six months. It improves skin quality and hydration rather than filling lines. The questions below let you judge any clinic you are sent.
This is general guidance to help you ask better questions, reviewed September 2025. It is not medical advice and not a substitute for a consultation with a qualified injector.
Eight questions before you book.
Ask all eight and keep the answers. With a branded injectable, the first question is whether the genuine product is being used. Reluctance to show it is a reason to stop.
When to walk away.
With a branded product, two warning signs stand out: an injector who will not show it, and a price too good to be true.
Be wary of any clinic that will not show you the genuine product and its batch, that uses a non medical injector or an unsuitable setting, or that prices the treatment far below the market, which can hint at a counterfeit or a diluted product. Be cautious of promises that it fills wrinkles or replaces a facelift, since it is a skin quality treatment rather than a structural one, and of pressure to commit to a course on the day. A clinic that will not put the product, the plan, the price, and the aftercare in writing is showing you how it will behave if something goes wrong.
Trust your discomfort. This is elective, and a responsible clinic will welcome these questions.

The things everyone asks.
What is Profhilo?
Profhilo is a brand of injectable stabilised hyaluronic acid, often called a skin booster. It hydrates the skin and stimulates collagen and elastin to improve overall skin quality, rather than filling individual lines.
How many treatments will I need?
A common starting course is two sessions about four weeks apart, followed by maintenance every three to four months. This is indicative and reviewed September 2025, and a qualified injector should tailor it to you.
How long does Profhilo last?
Results are commonly quoted as lasting around six months, though this varies with skin condition and age. Maintenance treatments are used to sustain the effect.
Is Profhilo a filler or does it stop wrinkles?
It is a skin booster, not a structural filler and not a muscle relaxant. It aims to improve hydration and quality rather than filling deep lines or lifting sagging skin.
How do I treat it safely abroad?
Confirm the genuine product and a medically qualified injector, check the facility, and plan how any reaction or persistent lump would be managed once you are home.
