Is Profhilo safer than hyaluronic acid fillers?

Jessica2611
I'm particularly concerned about the risk of blindness. I am in my thirties and noticing that my nose-to-mouth lines are becoming more prominent and my skin isn't as plump/firm in my upper cheeks. I've considered HA fillers however I am very scared of the risk of irreversible blindness. My doctor suggested that Profhilo might benefit me as overall my skin is fairly good and she thinks this will help give me a slight "lift" in the jowl/cheek area. Is Profhilo any safer or are my chances of going blind the same as with HA fillers?
