If your skin feels dull, tired, or lacking in firmness, you’re not alone. As we age, our skin naturally loses collagen, elastin, and hydration — the key components that keep it firm, smooth, and radiant.
At Andrea Harris Aesthetics Christchurch, one of our most effective treatments for restoring hydration and elasticity is PROFHILO® — an innovative injectable skin treatment designed to rejuvenate the skin from within, delivering a radiant, healthy glow without changing your natural features.
Unlike dermal fillers, PROFHILO® is not about adding volume. Instead, it focuses on improving skin quality, providing a subtle yet noticeable lift and luminosity that enhances your overall complexion.
PROFHILO® is a revolutionary hyaluronic acid-based injectable used to remodel ageing and dehydrated skin. It contains one of the highest concentrations of pure hyaluronic acid available on the market but differs from traditional fillers in both formulation and effect.
Instead of filling lines or adding structure, PROFHILO® spreads smoothly under the skin, stimulating natural collagen and elastin production. This helps to:
It’s often described as an “injectable moisturiser” because it deeply hydrates from within — creating skin that looks fresher, plumper, and naturally radiant.
PROFHILO® uses NAHYCO® Hybrid Technology, which allows two molecular weights of hyaluronic acid to work together in synergy.
When injected just beneath the surface of the skin, it gradually diffuses through the tissue, stimulating four types of collagen and elastin over several weeks.
This bio-remodelling process helps improve firmness and elasticity while enhancing hydration and smoothness.
Unlike dermal fillers, PROFHILO® does not alter facial structure or shape — instead, it rejuvenates skin texture, providing a natural and subtle lift.
Every treatment begins with a detailed consultation. Andrea will assess your skin health, discuss your goals, and determine if PROFHILO® is right for you. This ensures a safe, personalised treatment plan based on your individual skin needs.
PROFHILO® is injected using a precise technique known as the BAP (Bio Aesthetic Points) method, which targets five key areas on each side of the face. This approach allows the product to spread evenly beneath the skin for uniform rejuvenation.
The treatment takes around 20–30 minutes. A fine needle is used, and most clients experience only mild discomfort.
There’s minimal downtime — you may notice small bumps at the injection sites, which typically subside within 24 hours. You can return to normal activities immediately after treatment.
For optimal results, PROFHILO® is typically performed as a two-session course, spaced four weeks apart. Maintenance treatments every 6–12 months help to sustain the effects.
PROFHILO® delivers intense hydration from within, improving skin texture and elasticity. It’s ideal for dehydrated or sun-exposed skin — a common concern in New Zealand’s high UV environment.
Results develop gradually over several weeks as collagen and elastin production increases. The effect is subtle yet transformative — smoother, firmer, and more luminous skin without the need for volumising fillers.
Beyond hydration, PROFHILO® strengthens and remodels the skin structure, improving resilience and reducing crepiness.
With no significant recovery period, PROFHILO® fits easily into busy lifestyles. Most clients resume work or daily activities immediately.
Although most commonly used on the face and neck, PROFHILO® can also improve skin texture on the décolletage, hands, arms, and knees — anywhere skin appears thin or lax.
PROFHILO® is suitable for men and women seeking to:
It’s especially popular among clients who want natural skin rejuvenation rather than a dramatic change — perfect for those who prefer a subtle, “no one will know, but everyone will notice” effect.
Andrea will assess your skin and medical history during consultation to ensure the treatment is appropriate for you.
While both PROFHILO® and dermal fillers contain hyaluronic acid, their functions differ significantly:
In many cases, clients combine PROFHILO® with other treatments — such as dermal fillers or anti-wrinkle injections — for comprehensive rejuvenation. Andrea will guide you through the best combination for your goals.
