Reddit take
Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.
Pros
- If you’re open to injectables Profhilo is a great treatment for moisture.
- Skin boosters (like Profhilo, Rejuran) → hydration + elasticity without changing features.
Cons
- They couldn't see profhilo even on ultrasound? I am in a hyaluronidase fb group and someone said that ultrasound and mri can pick up their profhilo/jalupro just like normal filler. They dont dissipate at all
- Parent context: I went to dissolve it several times and it’s really difficult get rid of it, also nobody knows(and i talked to many doctors, also complications specialists) if the volume if from HA, collagen (because Profhilo should stim...
- It makes over 50% of people’s faces puff up. It acts like a cross linked filler. It’s been advertised as a biostimulator that doesn’t cause volume or change facial shape in many countries, so women are being caught out when these problem...
- I’m really surprised to see all the negative reviews!!! ... Now I’m seeing that quite a lot of people have undesired side effects from it like puffiness and uneven face contour, and the product just sitting under the skin.
- I’ve had it done twice and felt like it did nothing. Anecdotally a lot of friends felt the same. Wouldn’t recommend for the cost.

It makes over 50% of people’s faces puff up. It acts like a cross linked filler. It’s been advertised as a biostimulator that doesn’t cause volume or change facial shape in many countries, so women are being caught out when these problems arise.
I’m really surprised to see all the negative reviews!!! ... Now I’m seeing that quite a lot of people have undesired side effects from it like puffiness and uneven face contour, and the product just sitting under the skin.

Yeah, I've had "normal" Profhilo done twice. I did... nothing?
I got Profhilo once and experienced some of the effects you mentioned. First I looked really puffy overall (like a ballooned huge swollen face), I was SO shocked. Then it seemed that the HA did not migrate evenly but went all into my jowls. I got little pillows there.
I’ve tried it. I know others who’ve tried it. It had caused: Causes skin volume in over 50% of people Changes the shape of the face Makes skin shiny Causes jowls Hides bone structure Migrates Causes a meaty jawline Causes puffy deposits under the chin Causes lumps, nodules and redness Is extremely difficult to dissolve Does not dissipate after 28 days Causes allergic reactions Causes long term swelling (over 12 months) Makes it hard to smile and move the face Makes it hard to swallow Causes infection Causes sagging skin Face can look like a blown up balloon Causes swelling around the eyes (festoons/malar mounds) Can stick around in the fat pockets of the face for an indeterminate amount of time.
