As we age, skin loses elasticity, hydration, and natural volume, leading to fine lines, sagging, and a tired appearance. While cosmetic surgery is an option, many patients prefer minimally invasive treatments that offer noticeable results with minimal downtime.
Two popular options for facial rejuvenation are Profhilo and traditional dermal fillers. At Dr. Rami Hamed Center (DRHC) in Dubai, we understand that choosing the right treatment can feel overwhelming. Here’s a clear guide to help you make an informed decision.
What Is Profhilo?
Profhilo is a unique skin remodeling treatment that uses highly purified hyaluronic acid to deeply hydrate and stimulate collagen and elastin production. Unlike traditional fillers, it does not add volume but improves skin quality, firmness, and overall radiance.
Benefits of Profhilo:
- Deeply hydrates and nourishes the skin
- Improves skin elasticity and firmness
- Smooths fine lines and improves texture
- Provides a natural, radiant glow
- Minimal downtime
Profhilo is ideal for patients looking for subtle rejuvenation and skin quality improvement, rather than volume restoration.
What Are Traditional Dermal Fillers?
Dermal fillers are gel-like substances injected under the skin to restore lost volume, smooth wrinkles, and enhance facial contours. Most fillers contain hyaluronic acid, which attracts water to plump the skin.
Benefits of Traditional Fillers:
- Adds volume to cheeks, lips, and jawline
- Smooths deep wrinkles and folds
- Enhances facial symmetry and contours
- Immediate visible results
Fillers are ideal for patients who want to restore facial volume or correct specific lines and folds.
Profhilo vs Traditional Fillers: Key Differences
| Feature | Profhilo | Traditional Fillers |
| Purpose | Hydrates and remodels skin | Adds volume and smooths deep lines |
| Results Timeline | Gradual improvement over 4–6 weeks | Immediate results, full effect within a few days |
| Treatment Areas | Cheeks, jawline, neck, hands | Cheeks, lips, nasolabial folds, and under eyes |
| Effect on Facial Volume | No added volume | Adds noticeable volume and contour |
| Downtime | Minimal; slight redness or swelling | Minimal; mild swelling or bruising possible |
| Ideal For | Skin laxity, dullness, and early signs of aging | Volume loss, deep wrinkles, facial contouring |
At DRHC Dubai, many patients benefit from a combination approach, using Profhilo for overall skin quality and fillers for targeted volume restoration.
What to Expect During the Treatment
We understand that facial injections can cause anxiety, especially for first-time patients. At DRHC Dubai, your comfort and safety are our priority:
- Consultation: Assessment of skin type, facial structure, and goals.
- Preparation: Cleansing and application of numbing cream if needed.
- Injection: Precise injections are administered by trained specialists.
- Aftercare: Most patients experience mild redness or swelling, which resolves within 24–48 hours.
Both treatments are minimally invasive and require no significant downtime.
