Although Hyaluronic acid and dermal fillers are made up of hyaluronic acid, their characteristics and function differ in more ways than one.

Hyaluronic acid is a bio-stimulator and doesn’t change the structure of the face. Its formulation allows it to flow over an extended area to boost hydration, smooth and ‘remodel’ the skin.

In comparison, dermal fillers remain in the area they are placed in and restore loss of volume, enhance the facial structure and plump up deep lines and wrinkles in that area.

At TAC Medical, we believe that Hyaluronic acid is complementary to, rather than competitive with dermal fillers.

They work exceptionally well together and dramatic improvements can be produced.

Unlike other Hyaluronic Acid injectables, PROFHILO®, as a bio-remodeling agent, will take time to take effect. Results are not immediate. Instead, your skin gradually improves over 4 weeks, with full results seen 1-2 months after your 2nd session.

There are no long-term side effects. PROFHILO® is metabolised by the body completely as it is biocompatible.

Overall, there is no downtime. However, some may experience redness, slight bruising, tenderness as well as itching at the injection sites but these are temporary and should resolve within a few hours to a day.
It is advisable to avoid alcohol, anti-inflammatory/blood thinning medications, certain supplements such as Vitamin C and Ginseng for 48-72 hours before treatment.
After treatment, you should avoid wearing make-up, doing any sports, going into saunas and steam rooms for 24 hours after treatment.

PROFHILO® is suitable for those who are noticing the signs of aging skin (such as skin laxity, soft lines and folds) and would like to have a rejuvenated look without adding volume in a specific place
