Profhilo vs. Polynucleotides: Which is Right for You?
Both Profhilo and polynucleotides are injectable treatments that improve skin quality, but they work in different ways:
• Profhilo is a hyaluronic acid-based treatment that deeply hydrates the skin, boosts collagen, and gives a natural, glowing lift – ideal for dull, dry, or sagging skin.
• Polynucleotides use DNA fragments to repair and regenerate the skin at a cellular level – perfect for sensitive, inflamed, or damaged skin, including acne scarring and pigmentation.
Which One Should I Choose?
Choose Profhilo if:
• Your skin feels dry, or tired
• You want an overall glow-up with quick results
• You’re new to injectable treatments
Choose Polynucleotides if:
• Your skin is inflamed, stressed, or showing early signs of aging
• You have acne scarring, pigmentation, or sensitivity
• You want long-term regeneration and healing
