Injectable Hyaluronic Acid (HA) in Singapore

The Injectable Hyaluronic Acid treatment consists of purely Hyaluronic Acid (HA). It is the first of its kind that provides similar benefits to fillers and skin boosters, giving you increased hydration, overall skin rejuvenation and a natural lifting effect.

The treatment uses Profhilo, a product developed by IBSA, a market leader in HA products. It is known as an “Injectable Moisturiser” for having high concentrations of Hyaluronic Acid in the current market (65mg/2ml). The treamtent is FDA and CE approved in Singapore and widely used across the globe for years.

Benefits of Injectable Hyaluronic Acid in Singapore

Bio-stimulate collagen and elastin

No risk of lumpiness (No BDDE)

10 injection points (BAP technique)

How does it work?

The Injectable Hyaluronic Acid works by allowing bio-stimulation of 4 types of collagen, elastin and proliferate adipocytes (fats) stem cells that are lost through natural ageing. It contains 100% Hyaluronic Acid (HA) without additives (no BDDE cross linking), allowing HA to spread easily with no risks of lumpiness.

It has Low and High Molecular Weight Hyaluronic Acid and this hybrid allows HA to be slowly released and last longer in the skin for bio-remodelling to occur. 

Low Molecular Weight Hyaluronic Acid (L-HA) – Slow release into the skin for a long-lasting hydration effect, like Skinboosters. 

High Molecular Weight Hyaluronic Acid (H-HA) – Provides a stable HA structure in the dermis for a volumetric lift effect, like Filler.

How is the treatment performed?

The treatment is administered through Bio Aesthetic Points (BAP) technique which involves a total of 10 injection points on the lower face (5 on each side). The BAP technique is developed to maximise the spreadability of Profhilo and to avoid large vessels and nerves on the face.

Unlike other injection treatments that require more than 30 injection points, the treatment has fewer injection points to minimise the risk of pain and bruising. Those who are afraid of injection treatments may consider Profhilo.

Is Injectable HA safe?

The Injectable HA is FDA and CE-approved in Singapore, making it safe for medical use. It is also the first HA injectable without BDDE, which means the risk of lumpiness or inflammation is significantly reduced.

Hyaluronic Acid is also naturally present in the skin to bind water to collagen, trapping it in the skin so that it can appear plumper and more hydrated. This means Profhilo is bio-compatible to your skin, mitigating the risks of allergic reactions and related complications.

Yes, HA injections used in the injections can be combined with other treatments to maximize the effects of Profhilo.

For Lifting: Profhilo can be combined with energy based treatments like HIFU to accelerate collagen production for longer-lasting skin tightening effects. 

For Volume Loss: Profhilo can be combined with Fillers. Profhilo helps to restore hydration through stimulation of collagen and elastin, while fillers plump up sunken areas to achieve a younger-looking appearance. 

For Scarring: Profhilo can be combined with Laser treatments to improve skin texture and discolouration. 

Best to speak to our doctors to understand what combination would be suitable for you.
