ANECDOTE

Cara’s Italy Experience With Profhilo

Cara McDonald shared her experience visiting IBSA in Italy and meeting Professor Chiara, who developed Profhilo.
She learned about the product's unique cellular effects and witnessed its factory production firsthand.

INSIGHT

Profhilo Targets Skin Integrity

Skin aging involves not just volume loss but also tissue descent and loss of skin integrity.
Profhilo increases hydration and rejuvenates fibroblasts to promote youthful collagen and elastin.

INSIGHT

Unique Rheology of Profhilo

Profhilo has a unique thermal bonding crosslinking of HA chains making it highly concentrated yet very fluid.
This results in excellent spreadability under the skin and biological activity unlike typical cross-linked gels.
