When it comes to non-surgical facial rejuvenation, two of the most popular treatments are Profhilo® and dermal fillers. Both are designed to restore youthful volume, smooth fine lines, and enhance skin quality, but they work in different ways and serve unique purposes. If you’re considering an aesthetic treatment but aren’t sure which one is right for you, this guide will help you understand the key differences between Profhilo® and dermal fillers.
What Is Profhilo®?
Profhilo® is an injectable skin treatment that hydrates, tightens, and improves skin texture by stimulating the body’s natural collagen and elastin production. Unlike traditional dermal fillers, which add volume, Profhilo® works as a bio-remodelling treatment, enhancing overall skin quality rather than reshaping specific areas.
How Profhilo® Works
Profhilo® contains one of the highest concentrations of hyaluronic acid (HA) available. When injected into the skin, it spreads beneath the surface and gradually stimulates collagen and elastin production, resulting in firmer, plumper, and more radiant skin.
Key Benefits of Profhilo®:
✔Deep hydration for a radiant glow
✔Boosts collagen and elastin for firmer skin
✔Improves skin laxity and texture
✔Suitable for the face, neck, hands, and décolletage
✔Natural-looking results without added volume
Profhilo® is often referred to as an injectable moisturizer because of its ability to deeply hydrate the skin from within. It is ideal for individuals looking to restore skin elasticity, smooth out fine lines, and achieve a refreshed appearance without altering their natural facial contours.
What Are Dermal Fillers?
Dermal fillers are another type of injectable treatment, but they work differently than Profhilo®. Instead of improving skin texture, fillers are designed to add volume, contour facial features, and reduce deep wrinkles.
How Dermal Fillers Work
Dermal fillers are made from a gel-like substance, usually hyaluronic acid, that is injected beneath the skin’s surface to restore lost volume, plump up wrinkles, and enhance specific areas such as the lips, cheeks, chin, and jawline.
Key Benefits of Dermal Fillers:
✔Restore facial volume lost due to aging
✔Enhance facial features (cheeks, lips, jawline, etc.)
✔Smooth out deep wrinkles and folds
✔Provide immediate, long-lasting results
✔Customizable to achieve subtle or dramatic enhancements
Dermal fillers are commonly used for facial contouring, offering a non-surgical alternative to procedures like facelifts or chin augmentation. They are ideal for those who want to enhance facial definition, soften wrinkles, or restore youthful fullness.

Which Treatment Is Right for You?
The choice between Profhilo® and dermal fillers depends on your individual skin goals.
- Choose Profhilo® if you want to improve skin hydration, elasticity, and overall skin quality without adding volume.
- Choose dermal fillers if you want to enhance facial features, restore lost volume, or achieve a more sculpted appearance.
In some cases, a combination of both treatments can provide the best results. Many patients opt for Profhilo® to enhance their skin’s glow and firmness, while using dermal fillers to address specific volume loss or deep-set wrinkles.
