Introduction
What is Profhilo?
Profhilo is a unique injectable treatment based on high-concentration hyaluronic acid, designed not simply to add volume but to bio-remodel the skin — improving hydration, elasticity, and overall tissue quality from within.
Unlike traditional fillers, Profhilo spreads evenly through the skin to stimulate collagen and elastin, making it ideal for patients seeking smoother, firmer, more radiant skin on the face, neck, and other areas showing early laxity.
At Aesthetic Clinic by Dr. Maliha Dar, Profhilo is used as part of advanced skin rejuvenation plans for patients who want subtle tightening, deep hydration, and a healthy glow without changing facial structure.
Profhilo is one of the aesthetic treatments in Dubai offered by Dr. Maliha Dar, and is often planned alongside other treatments as part of a single assessment.

What results can I realistically expect from Profhilo?
Timeline
Hydration improves within days; tightening and skin quality enhancement develop over 4–8 weeks after the treatment course.
Downtime
Mild bumps or redness at injection sites for 24–48 hours.
What this treatment can do
- Improved hydration and a smoother, better-reflecting skin surface
- A gradual change across the initial course, maintained with periodic sessions
What it will not do
- Boosters do not add volume or change facial contours
- They do not relax the muscle movement that causes expression lines
- The effect fades without maintenance
Individual results vary. No aesthetic treatment produces a guaranteed outcome, and anyone promising one should be treated with caution.
How much does Profhilo cost in Dubai?
FromAED 1,250 – AED 1,500
Skin boosters are priced per session and usually delivered as a short initial course followed by maintenance. The figures below are the clinic's current prices; the number of sessions you need is agreed at consultation.
What affects the price
- The specific booster used — formulations differ in composition and cost
- The number of sessions in the initial course, and how often maintenance is needed afterwards
- Whether face only, or face and neck, are treated
You receive written pricing at consultation before any treatment goes ahead. The clinic does not quote a final price without assessing you first, because the amount of product and number of sessions genuinely differ between patients.
Safety
Suitability, aftercare and risks
Who is Profhilo not suitable for?
Suitability is decided at consultation, not online. Profhilo is generally not appropriate in the following situations:
- A history of severe allergic reaction to hyaluronic acid
- Anyone seeking volume replacement, which requires a structural filler instead
- Pregnancy or breastfeeding
- An active skin infection, inflammation or cold sore in the treatment area
- A known allergy to the product or any of its components
- Certain autoimmune or bleeding disorders, depending on the individual case
- Unrealistic expectations of what a non-surgical treatment can achieve
How to prepare
- Arrive with clean skin and no makeup where possible
- Where medically safe to do so, avoid alcohol for 24 hours beforehand
- Discuss any blood-thinning medication or supplements with Dr. Dar before your appointment - never stop prescribed medication without advice from the doctor who prescribed it
- Plan around visible injection points, which can remain for several hours
Aftercare
- Stay upright for the first four hours and avoid pressing or massaging the area unless instructed
- Avoid strenuous exercise, saunas, steam rooms and hot yoga for 24-48 hours
- Avoid alcohol for 24 hours
- Use sun protection daily - important year-round in the UAE
- Keep skincare simple for 24 hours - no acids, retinoids or exfoliants
- Drink water normally; hydration supports how the skin responds

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
- How is Profhilo different from fillers?
- Fillers add volume to specific areas. Profhilo spreads to improve overall skin quality, hydration, and firmness without changing facial contours.
- How many Profhilo sessions do I need?
- The standard protocol is two sessions spaced four weeks apart. Dr. Maliha Dar will advise based on your skin condition.
- Can Profhilo treat the neck?
- Yes. Profhilo is widely used for neck skin quality and early laxity, alongside facial bio-remodelling.
- Where is Profhilo injected?
- It is placed at defined points on each side of the face, from which it spreads through the tissue. This is why the technique differs from filler, which is placed precisely where volume is required.
- Will Profhilo change the shape of my face?
- It is not intended to. Profhilo works on hydration and skin firmness rather than adding structural volume, so it should not alter your proportions. If contour change is what you want, a different treatment is appropriate.
- Will a skin booster add volume to my face?
- No. Skin boosters are designed to support hydration and skin quality, not to restore lost volume or change facial contours. If volume is your main concern, a structural filler or a collagen stimulator is the more appropriate option, which Dr. Dar will discuss at consultation.
- How often will I need to repeat it?
- Boosters are usually given as a short initial course, then maintained periodically. How often depends on the product used, your skin and how you respond. Your maintenance interval is agreed after the initial course rather than promised in advance.
- How long do the injection points stay visible?
- Small raised bumps at the injection points are expected and usually soften within several hours to a day, depending on the product and the area. Plan treatment with a little time before any event where you would rather they had settled.
- What happens at the consultation?
- Dr. Dar assesses your skin quality, hydration and concerns, and explains which booster suits them. Because the clinic offers several, the consultation is where the choice between them is made rather than decided in advance.
