Profhilo
A high-concentration, slow-release hyaluronic acid injected at a few key points to remodel and deeply hydrate skin from within, rather than adding shape or volume.
How it works
Unlike a filler, Profhilo is injected at set points and spreads through the tissue, stimulating the skin’s own collagen and elastin while delivering sustained hydration over several weeks.
Areas we treat
Face, neck, décolletage and hands, for skin that has lost bounce and hydration rather than structural volume.
The session and aftercare
About 30 minutes, small bumps at injection points that settle within a day. A course of 2 sessions, 4 weeks apart, then maintenance every 6 months or so.
Who it suits
- Skin laxity and dehydration rather than lost volume
- Neck, décolletage or hand rejuvenation
- Wanting a subtle, whole-skin-quality result
Why this matters in the Maldives climate
Year-round humidity and strong UV exposure accelerate the breakdown of skin hyaluronic acid and collagen faster than in temperate climates, which is why many patients here notice dehydrated, tired-looking skin even with a good skincare routine. Profhilo directly replaces that lost hyaluronic acid at a molecular weight designed to remodel tissue rather than sit on the surface, which is why results tend to look like healthier skin rather than an obviously done appearance.

Frequently asked questions
What is Profhilo?
Profhilo is a high-concentration, slow-release hyaluronic acid injected at a handful of key points. Rather than filling a specific area, it spreads through the tissue to hydrate and remodel skin quality from within.
How much does Profhilo cost in the Maldives?
Cost depends on the areas treated (face, neck, hands) and your course length. We confirm an exact quote after a short consultation.
How many Profhilo sessions are needed?
A standard course is 2 sessions, 4 weeks apart, followed by maintenance roughly every 6 months to sustain the effect.
Does Profhilo hurt?
A handful of injection points, so discomfort is minimal. Small bumps at each point settle within a day.
When will I see results from Profhilo?
Hydration and glow improve progressively over the first few weeks after each session, becoming more noticeable after the second treatment.
What are the risks of Profhilo?
Side effects are typically limited to temporary bumps, mild bruising or tenderness at injection points. Serious reactions are rare when placed by a doctor.
Is Profhilo the same as a dermal filler?
No. Profhilo does not add shape or volume the way filler does. It is designed purely to improve skin quality, laxity and hydration, particularly on areas like the neck and hands that fillers are not suited to.
Does humid Maldivian weather affect Profhilo results?
No, but as with any skin treatment, daily SPF protects the results, since UV exposure is the biggest driver of skin ageing in this climate.
