PROFHILO COLLAGEN BOOSTING AT VILVA COSMETICS
Profhilo is a revolutionary injectable treatment designed to remodel the skin's structure by stimulating the production of collagen and elastin. Unlike traditional dermal fillers that add volume to specific areas, Profhilo works as a "bio-remodelling" treatment, spreading a high concentration of hyaluronic acid throughout the skin to hydrate, tighten, and lift the entire facial area. At Vilva Cosmetics, we use Profhilo to achieve a natural, radiant, and youthful glow.
Profhilo Treatment at Vilva Cosmetics
Profhilo is a unique injectable moisturizer that delivers a high concentration of hyaluronic acid to the deeper layers of the skin. This triggers a bio-remodelling process, improving skin laxity and firmness from the inside out. The treatment involves a series of 5 strategically placed injections on each side of the face, a technique known as the Bio Aesthetic Points (BAP) technique, to ensure optimal product distribution.
During your personal consultation at Vilva Cosmetics in Erode, our expert team will assess your skin’s condition and discuss how Profhilo can help you achieve a healthier, firmer, and more luminous complexion. We will create a tailored treatment plan to ensure you get the best possible results.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS – PROFHILO
What is Profhilo?
Profhilo is an injectable treatment containing a high concentration of stabilized hyaluronic acid. It is not a dermal filler, but rather a bio-remodelling agent that spreads throughout the skin to hydrate and stimulate collagen and elastin production.
How is Profhilo different from dermal fillers?
Dermal fillers are designed to add volume and fill specific wrinkles or folds. Profhilo is designed to hydrate the skin and improve overall skin quality and elasticity, acting as a skin booster rather than a volumizer.
How many sessions are needed?
A typical course of treatment involves two sessions, spaced four weeks apart. For more advanced signs of aging or for maintenance, additional sessions may be recommended by your practitioner.
Is the procedure painful?
The injections are very quick and administered using the Bio Aesthetic Points (BAP) technique, which minimizes discomfort. Most patients find the procedure to be very tolerable without any topical numbing cream.
When will I see results and how long do they last?
You may notice an immediate improvement in skin hydration. The main collagen-boosting effects begin to appear after 4 weeks and continue to improve over the next few months. Results can last up to 6 months before a maintenance session is needed.
RISKS AND COMPLICATIONS
What are the possible risks?
Common side effects are temporary and include small raised bumps, redness, swelling, and minor bruising at the injection sites. These typically resolve within 24-48 hours. Serious complications are very rare when the treatment is performed by a qualified professional.
AFTERCARE
What kind of aftercare is needed?
Avoid strenuous exercise, saunas, and intense sun exposure for 24-48 hours. Do not apply makeup immediately after the treatment. Your practitioner will provide detailed post-treatment instructions to ensure a smooth recovery and best results.
