16 month update for Profhilo
Well, I’d say it’s about 65% resolved now after a full 16 months. There’s still residual swelling and nodules around the mouth, jawline, cheeks and chin, but at least I can recognise myself in photos and the mirror again.
I looked so different that my phone put my post-Profhilo pictures into a whole new “person” category!
After a series of chemical peels to address the skin damage the product caused I’m happy to report that it’s looking softer and less shiny. I also use Retrieve .05 % (Retin A) and I believed that’s also helped. I’d say it’s also 60% better and there’s more progress as the product flattens out.
What really bothers me is the lack of care and consideration the medical community has for HA biostimulator complications. I can’t even count how many times I’ve heard that it’s just not possible to have complications with these types of products! The company’s own patient information leaflet clearly outlines the issues, and more can be found through their studies.
The product is known to cause long term volume in the skin. They’ve reported it @.5 cm so that’s the width of a .5 carat diamond shoved under the skin ALL OVER.
Here’s the link:

If you’re having complications grab a copy of the above paper to take with you, it will shut down any arguments that these HA products don’t cause volume.
The study also clearly states that the product has the same staying power as a crosslinked filler, and by this time the whole community should know that HA filler does not dissolved as it’s meant to and can hang around for upwards of 10 years.

Like many women I was told that there was no possibility of this product causing volume in the skin or facial shape change. The paper I linked clearly states that over 50% of users experienced volume with this product which lasts over 16 weeks!
Obviously there is a problem between the injecting community and the facts concerning this product. This paper came out nearly 10 years ago and the knowledge gap is unacceptable.

Profhilo creates volume
It’s interesting how many injectors claim that Profhilo does not cause volume in the skin, and that it only lasts 28 days before the body clears it out.
I had a cosmetic doctor roll her eyes at me and ask me how I thought it works then.
Please read the published papers on HA filler longevity (it stays in the body indefinitely), the dangers of Hyal dissolver, filler migration, fibrosis and other complications before you get any HA products.
More ethical providers are now calling these HA biostimulators “hybrid fillers”.

Profhilo creates volume and has the staying power of crosslinked filler
After a year the Profhilo is still healing. It’s been quite a journey.
At the bottom of this review is the link to a paper from 2018 that proves that Profhilo creates longer term volume in the skin.
For all of the ladies out there who were told that it does not change the shape of the face, and does not create volume, this paper was published in 2018, so there are no excuses for injectors to claim that this product is just an injectable moisturiser.
I specifically asked my provider, a specialist plastic surgeon, if the product creates volume, and I was told no. Perhaps he didn’t know about the product he was using, or perhaps he lied.
For someone who wants volume in the skin, hey, it can last over a year with just one session!
For everyone with great results, HA can cause hypersensitivity at any time, and with every new injection. HA fillers are now known to block the lymph system, and they do not significantly degrade in the body. Good luck!
