What is Profhilo®? at Oceanaconte Spa & Clinic?
To achieve the appearance of smooth and plump skin, collagen and hyaluronic acid are indispensable, while firm and elastic skin depends on elastin. These fundamental structures that determine the extent of skin aging gradually deteriorate and diminish over time due to natural aging and exposure to UV damage. As a result, the skin loses its elasticity, leading to the formation of wrinkles. Profhilo® is currently the most advanced bio-remodelling injectable product with the highest hyaluronic acid content. It aids in rebuilding collagen and elastin fibres in the skin. In addition to replenishing lost hyaluronic acid and moisture in the skin, Profhilo® stimulates the production of collagen and elastin fibres, making the skin appear plump and youthful, restoring its softness and elasticity.
The Science Behind Profhilo®
Profhilo® is currently the highest concentration (64mg/2ml) hyaluronic acid on the market. It combines low and high molecular weight hyaluronic acid molecules through patented NAHYCO™ hybrid technology without the use of chemical cross-linking agents such as BDDE. This results in excellent biocompatibility and viscosity. Injected into five specific facial points based on the principles of aesthetics, hyaluronic acid spreads evenly between the dermis and fat compartments, providing a uniformly plump effect. It hydrates and improves symptoms such as fine lines and dryness, while high molecular weight hyaluronic acid molecules support the sagging dermis, resulting in firmer skin.
Four hours after Profhilo® is injected, its Hybrid Technology cell regeneration stimulates a significant increase in COLIV (collagen type I), COLVII (collagen type II), and ELS (elastin fibres) in keratinocytes. This process continues to activate fibroblast cells in the dermis to generate more collagen. This rejuvenates the skin from the inside out, making it look more elastic and full of vitality.
Moreover, Profhilo® maintains and promotes the vitality of subcutaneous fat cells, delaying the loss of subcutaneous fat and rejuvenating youthful, plump skin.
Our 3D Non-Surgical Facelift treatment at Oceanaconte Spa & Clinic consists of two anti-aging steps: firming and sculpting. These steps work together to help you restore fullness and firmness to your facial features.

Profhilo® is suitable for aging, sagging skin with severe wrinkles, fine lines, dryness, neck wrinkles, turkey neck, hand wrinkles, loose hand skin, and chest skin folds.
Treatment areas include the face, neck, chest, arms, and hands.
Advantages of Profhilo® at Oceanaconte Spa & Clinic
Biomodelling: Unlike other hyaluronic acid dermal fillers that merely fill skin depressions, Profhilo® has a unique bio-remodelling effect. It stimulates fibroblasts to produce collagen and elastin, reshaping elastic fibres. Its excellent biocompatibility is suitable for improving various skin conditions and preserving the vitality of subcutaneous fat cells, preventing subcutaneous soft tissue loss.
Natural Results: Hyaluronic acid in Profhilo® slowly integrates into the skin, ensuring that it does not affect facial expressions or alter facial contours. The results are natural and not artificial.
Simple and Quick: Profhilo® requires only 5 injections for the face and 10 for the neck. No anaesthesia or downtime is needed, and you can return to your normal activities right away.
Triple Effect: Unlike other hyaluronic acid injections with a single function, Profhilo® has a triple effect to restore youthful, supple, and smooth skin:
Replenishes skin moisture and maintains hydration for radiant skin.
Stimulates the regeneration of collagen and elastin, reducing wrinkles and tightening loose skin.
Preserves the vitality of subcutaneous fat cells, delaying subcutaneous fat loss and rejuvenating plump and elastic skin.
Long-lasting Results: The patented Hybrid Technology cell regeneration of Profhilo® stimulates the production of over 12 times the collagen, elastin fibres, and fat cells. This effect lasts for up to two months, and the results can be maintained for about 8-12 months.
A Trusted Brand:
Profhilo® is a breakthrough hyaluronic acid injectable developed by the Swiss pharmaceutical company IBSA, adhering to European CE and American FDA standards. With its high hyaluronic acid concentration and the absence of cross-linking agents (BDDE), it is safer, with fewer allergic reactions and side effects, requiring fewer injection points and treatment sessions, enhancing long-lasting efficacy, and effectively combating aging by promoting collagen, elastin, and fat cell activation from within the skin.
