Profhilo in Johor Bahru (Skin Bio-Remodelling Treatment)
What Is Profhilo?
Profhilo is an injectable skin bio-remodelling treatment made from ultra-pure, thermally stabilised hyaluronic acid (64mg/2ml). Developed by IBSA Derma, a Swiss pharmaceutical company, and manufactured in Italy by IBSA Farmaceutici Italia, Profhilo uses patented NAHYCO® hybrid hyaluronic acid technology and contains no BDDE chemical cross-linking agents, making it highly biocompatible with the skin.
A Bio-Remodelling Injectable, Not a Filler
Unlike traditional dermal fillers that add volume or reshape facial contours, Profhilo works by improving overall skin quality. The treatment diffuses naturally through the skin from five carefully selected injection points on each side of the face, known as the BAP (Bio Aesthetic Points) technique, allowing the hyaluronic acid to spread evenly across the tissue. This process helps deeply hydrate the skin while stimulating collagen and elastin production, supporting skin firmness, elasticity, and a healthier, more youthful appearance.
Profhilo treatment is available at Dr Plus Aesthetic Clinic in Iskandar Puteri, Johor Bahru, and is administered by Dr Kenneth Lee, using the established BAP injection technique designed specifically for optimal diffusion and skin remodelling.

How Profhilo Bio-Remodels Your Skin
Four biological mechanisms work simultaneously after each Profhilo session:
01 — Deep Hydration Profhilo’s HA spreads through the dermis attracting and retaining water molecules, restoring moisture from the inside out — unlike topical moisturisers which only hydrate the surface. |
02 — Collagen Stimulation The HA molecules stimulate fibroblasts to produce new collagen types I, III, IV and VII — repairing the skin’s structural framework that breaks down with age and UV exposure. |
03 — Elastin Production Profhilo also stimulates new elastin fibres, restoring the skin’s ability to spring back — resulting in visibly firmer, more youthful skin tone and texture. |
04 — Bio-Remodelling The combination of hydration, collagen and elastin renewal remodels the overall dermis architecture — improving laxity, fine lines, and skin quality across the treated area. |
What Does Profhilo Treat?
Profhilo is suitable for the following skin conditions and concerns:
- Skin laxity (mild to moderate sagging of the face, neck, and décolletage)
- Dehydration-related fine lines and surface wrinkles
- Loss of skin elasticity and firmness with age
- Dull, tired-looking skin with poor luminosity
- Crepey skin texture on the neck, décolletage and hands
- Early signs of jowl formation and mid-face descent
- Post-summer or post-illness skin recovery
- Preventive anti-ageing from age 30 onwards

The Profhilo Protocol at Dr Plus Clinic JB
From consultation at Iskandar Puteri to full results in 8 weeks:
- Step 1 — Consultation: Dr Kenneth Lee assesses skin condition, degree of laxity, and patient goals. Treatment areas confirmed. Suitability for Profhilo vs other injectables determined.
- Step 2 — Session 1 (Week 0): 10 BAP injections total (5 per side of face or targeted area). Each session: 20–30 minutes. Small lumps at injection points resolve within 1–2 hours.
- Step 3 — Session 2 (Week 4): Second and final initial session 4 weeks later. Collagen and elastin stimulation accumulates and reaches full effect by weeks 8–12.
- Step 4 — Maintenance (Month 6–12): Single maintenance session every 6–12 months to sustain the bio-remodelling, collagen stimulation, and skin hydration effects.

Spreads under skin | ✅ Yes (bio-dynamic) | ❌ Localised | ❌ Localised |
Treats neck/hands | ✅ Yes | ~ Limited | ❌ Rarely |
Results duration | 6–12 months | 3–6 months | 6–18 months |
Downtime | ✅ Minimal (1–2hrs) | ✅ Minimal | 1–3 days possible |
Profhilo Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. What is Profhilo and how does it work?
Profhilo is an injectable skin bio-remodelling treatment made from ultra-pure hyaluronic acid (64mg/2ml) by IBSA. Unlike dermal fillers, it does not add volume. It spreads through the dermis using the BAP technique to deeply hydrate skin, stimulate collagen types I, III, IV and VII, and elastin — remodelling the skin’s structure for a lifted, tighter, more youthful appearance.
Q2. What is the difference between Profhilo and a skin booster?
Skin boosters (like Rejuran or Juvederm Hydrate) primarily hydrate the skin locally at the injection site. Profhilo uses a higher HA concentration (64mg/2ml) that spreads bio-dynamically through the skin to stimulate collagen and elastin production — bio-remodelling as well as hydrating, producing lifting and tightening effects that standard skin boosters do not achieve.
Q3. How many Profhilo sessions do I need in Johor Bahru?
The standard Profhilo protocol at Dr Plus Aesthetic Clinic in Johor Bahru is 2 sessions, spaced 4 weeks apart. After the initial course, maintenance is recommended every 6 to 12 months.
Q4. Is Profhilo painful?
Profhilo uses the BAP technique — only 5 injection points per side of the face, making it one of the most comfortable injectables available. Most patients describe a mild pinch. Topical numbing cream can be applied beforehand.
Q5. What skin conditions does Profhilo treat?
Profhilo treats skin laxity, dehydration-related fine lines, loss of elasticity, dullness, and uneven skin texture. Effective on face, neck, décolletage and hands. Ideal for patients aged 30+ with early to moderate signs of skin ageing.
Q6. What is the difference between Profhilo and dermal fillers?
Dermal fillers add volume to specific areas and stay localised. Profhilo is not a filler — it does not add volume or reshape facial structure. It spreads through the skin to stimulate collagen and elastin across a wide area, improving overall skin quality, hydration and tightness.
Q7. How long does Profhilo last?
Effects typically last 6 to 12 months after the initial 2-session course. Results vary based on age, skin condition, and lifestyle. Maintenance sessions every 6–12 months are recommended.
Q8. Who is suitable for Profhilo treatment in Johor Bahru?
Profhilo is suitable for anyone aged 30 and above wanting to improve skin hydration, firmness and elasticity. Particularly effective for early skin laxity, dehydration fine lines, or dull skin. A consultation with Dr Kenneth Lee at Dr Plus Clinic, Iskandar Puteri, is required to confirm suitability.
Q9. Is there downtime after Profhilo?
Minimal downtime. Small bumps at the 5 BAP injection points visible for 1–2 hours, typically resolving the same day. Mild redness or swelling may occur for up to 24 hours. Patients return to normal activities immediately.
