Volume Loss

Dermal fillers are used for targeted support, contour or correction of selected hollows. Standard Profhilo is primarily a skin-quality and bio-remodelling treatment rather than a contouring filler. Profhilo Structura is a separate product and protocol intended for deeper tissue support associated with age-related superficial fat changes. A consultation identifies which mechanism best matches your concern.

The aim is proportionate, subtle treatment. A conservative plan uses the minimum appropriate product, treats the face as a whole and may be staged. No practitioner can guarantee a particular aesthetic outcome, but clear goals, careful assessment and avoiding unnecessary treatment help reduce the risk of an unnatural result.

Longevity varies with the product, treatment area, dose, metabolism, tissue movement and individual response. Dermal fillers and the Profhilo range are temporary treatments. We will explain the expected range for the exact product and protocol recommended rather than offering one duration for every injectable.

All injectable treatments carry risk. Common effects include tenderness, redness, swelling, bruising and temporary asymmetry. Other complications can include infection, lumps, nodules, prolonged swelling or an unsatisfactory result. Rare but serious vascular complications from filler can cause skin injury and, in certain areas, visual loss. Risks, warning signs and the clinic’s emergency pathway are discussed before consent.

Many hyaluronic acid fillers can be broken down with prescription hyaluronidase when clinically indicated, but dissolving is not risk-free and may not produce an immediate or perfectly predictable outcome. Profhilo and Profhilo Structura are not positioned or managed as conventional contouring fillers, so any concern requires direct assessment rather than assuming the same correction pathway.
