If you’ve recently been considering facial enhancements to address ageing skin, you may have come across two of the most popular Cosmetic Injectables in Singapore: Prfhlo HA Skin booster and Dermal Fillers.
While both are effective anti-ageing treatments, these cosmetic injections work differently to rejuvenate your skin. Let's breaks down the differences and benefits of each cosmetic injection to help identify which one is right for you or if you need both:
WHAT ARE PRFHLO HA SKIN REJUVENATION INJECTIONS SINGAPORE (逆時針)?
Prfhlo HA skin rejuvenation is a brand of cosmetic injectables that produces solutions indicated for overall skin repair. It is manufactured in Switzerland by IBSA Group.
The composition of Prfhlo HA 5-point anti ageing injectable is based on pure thermally cross-linked hyaluronic acid (HA). More precisely, it combines both high-molecular-weight HA and low-molecular-weight HA. The technology that is employed by Prfhlo HA skin rejuvenation to create a hyaluronic acid-based solution is called NAHYCO. It ensures high safety, effectiveness, and long-lasting duration of the product.
Prfhlo HA 5-point anti ageing injectable belongs to skin boosters that effectively treat sagging, dehydrated, and dull skin. Among the main areas that might be treated by Prfhlo HA skin booster are the face, neck, decolletage, arms, and hands.
According to its treatment course, Prfhlo HA 5-point anti ageing injectable should be injected beneath a patient’s skin during the two procedures with a four-week interval between them. The complete Prfhlo HA 5-point anti ageing injectable treatment usually provides a patient with a six-months result that might be prolonged by multiple injections from time to time.
Due to the high concentration of hyaluronic acid, Prfhlo HA 5-point anti ageing injectable disperses quickly underneath the skin’s surface and instantly reacts with your own tissue to boost hydration. The most common area people choose to have Profhilo is the face. However, you can also use the treatment on your arms, hands, neck, knees, and chest.

PRFHLO HA SKIN BOOSTER (逆时针) VS DERMAL FILLER (皮肤填充剂)
WHAT IS DERMAL FILLER SINGAPORE (皮肤填充剂)? :
Dermal fillers usually come in the form of injectable gels that can be used to replace volume in our face. Distinct from surgical methods such as fat grafting, fillers are a minimally invasive approach that are favoured for their shorter downtime and relatively lower risks.
Dermal fillers are injectable treatments used to plump up wrinkles and smooth facial lines. They come in various types, each tailored to specific needs and areas of the face. Dermal fillers offer noticeable benefits in enhancing facial appearance, but like any cosmetic procedure, they can have side effects.
WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN PRFHLO HA SKIN BOOSTER AND DERMAL FILLER?
The difference between Prfhlo HA skin booster and Dermal Fillers as follows:
Prfhlo HA skin booster is a skin treatment, whereas fillers are NOT a skin treatment.
DOWNTIME:
Prfhlo HA skin booster: No downtime
Dermal Fillers: Minimal downtime
COMPONENTS:
Prfhlo HA skin booster: Made of 100% hyaluronic acid, Prfhlo HA skin booster blends into the skin seamlessly and distributes itself evenly.
Dermal Fillers: Made of hyaluronic acid and natural sugar already present in the body, Dermal Fillers replicate the function of this naturally occurring substance to restore fullness and volume in numerous facial areas.
CONSISTENCY:
Prfhlo HA skin booster is runnier in texture and is a higher concentration of hyaluronic acid.
Dermal Filler is a thicker more viscous hyaluronic acid
USE:
Prfhlo HA skin booster spreads evenly under the skin and immediately refreshes and plumps the skin from within, this stimulates elastin and collagen production. Profhilo can be administered in the face, neck, décolleté, hands, and knees.
Dermal Filler stays where it is placed and its use is for volumizing, shaping, lifting, and filling a specific area. Filler can be placed in the lips, nose, cheeks, jaw, chin, temples, tear troughs, and deep-set lines.
TREATMENT OCCURENCE:
Prfhlo HA skin booster is a course of two treatments with each appointment one month apart, which can then be topped up if desired after completing the initial two treatments.
Dermal Filler is dependent on desired result and area treated; this would need to be advised within a doctor consultation. However, recommended treatment is one every 16-18 months.
HOW LONG DOES IT LAST?:
How long does Prfhlo HA skin booster last?
The results from Prfhlo HA skin booster treatments will most often last for up to 6 months, but results can differ from person to person.
How long does dermal filler last?
Dermal fillers can last anywhere from 6 – 18 months depending on the person.

BENEFITS OF PRFHLO HA SKIN BOOSTER AND DERMAL FILLER TOGETHER
Can I Do Prfhlo HA Skin Rejuvenation and Filler Together?
Prfhlo HA Skin Rejuvenation and dermal fillers can work very harmoniously together. For example, dermal filler can be used to correct areas of lost volume and Prfhlo HA Skin Rejuvenation can provide a boost in radiance. However, it is advisable to space out these treatments over separate appointments, due to their similar injection locations
Benefits of Prfhlo HA Skin Rejuvenation and Filler as follows:
Benefits of Prfhlo HA Skin Rejuvenation:
- Prfhlo HA Skin Rejuvenation is the first revolutionary bio-remodeling “injectable skincare” that addresses skin laxity and signs of aging through the bio-stimulation of collagen, elastin, and adipocytes stem cells that were lost through skin aging.
- Prfhlo HA 5-Point Anti ageing Injectable had high hyaluronic concentration using 32mg of high molecular weight HA and 32mg of low molecular weight HA.
- Prfhlo HA 5-Point Anti ageing Injectable is not a filler or a skin booster, Prfhlo HA 5-Point Anti ageing Injectable regenerates new tissue and cells, leading to a new skin architecture without volumization.
- Prfhlo HA 5-Point Anti ageing Injectable wakes up dormant fibroblast to allow it to regenerate collagen, and elastin, and complement the results of the skin booster.
- Prfhlo HA 5-Point Anti ageing Injectable works on multiple layers of the skin, and multilevel 3D flowability.
- Prfhlo HA 5-Point Anti ageing Injectable has been clinically proven for safety, efficacy, and bio-compatibility.

- Minimal pain and downtime.
Benefits of fillers:
- Fuller lips
- Smoother smile lines
- Immediately visible results

- Minimal swelling & bruising
WHY DOES PRFHLO HA SKIN BOOSTER TAKE SO LONG TO WORK? (COMPARED TO DERMAL FILLER)
Dermal filler treatment is an entirely different skincare treatment that is designed to use a harder form of hyaluronic acid (HA) to fill a loss of volume, usually on the face.
While Prfhlo HA skin booster is also a natural hyaluronic acid (ultra-pure hyaluronic acid), it is made differently. Instead of just filling a loss of volume, it will spread evenly and then trigger the body to start producing collagen and elastin.
This means this skin booster will take longer to show results, but it will be the ideal solution for things such as:
- Ageing skin
- Skin laxity
- Skin tone (radiant glow)
- Crepey skin
- Overall skin health
- Sagging skin
- Deeper lines and wrinkles
You’ll find that the skin’s surface will look better as time goes on, and after your initial treatments, your dehydrated skin will appear hydrated and healthy.
HOW TO CHOOSE BETWEEN PRFHLO HA SKIN BOOSTER AND DERMAL FILLER?
Ultimately the decision depends on your concerns and your treatment goals.
Prfhlo HA skin booster is incredibly popular with the more mature age group as it gives beautiful hydration to the skin, softens fine lines and plumps the skin. If your priorities are to smooth skin texture, minimise fine lines and achieve a radiant complexion, Prfhlo HA skin booster is an excellent option.
However, if you’ve lost volume in the face and would like to restore a beautifully balanced profile, dermal fillers will likely be the most appropriate treatment pathway.
Aesthetic Doctors love to use Prfhlo HA skin booster in conjunction with fillers for a healthy, radiant complexion that beautifully showcases the results of the dermal fillers.
SINCE PRFHLO HA SKIN BOOSTER AND DERMAL FILLERS ARE BOTH HA, WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE?
The reason why they have different properties is due to the way that they are cross-linked and the molecular weight of HA.
Cross-linking
Prfhlo HA skin booster is stabilised with a patented thermal technology without the use of chemical bonds. This allows
- Low viscosity – it allows the product to have a high concentration of HA and yet ‘watery’ enough to spread 2cm from the injection point under the skin.
- Increase availability of Prfhlo HA skin booster to bind to water to provide deep hydration effects
HA FILLERS:
- On the other hand, HA fillers are usually BDDE crosslinked to increase viscosity and G’ – which is important so that the fillers are to stay and shape and resist impacts of external pressure
Molecular weight
Prfhlo HA skin booster contains patented hybrid HA complexes of a combination of high and low molecular weight. Low molecular weight complex is responsible for binding to water, providing the hydration effects. Whereas High molecular weight complexes provides a stable HA architecture in the dermis that allows volumetric replacement – giving the ‘Lift’ effect. The different molecular weights penetrate to the different depths of the skin – from the dermis to the superficial adipose layer to kickstart collagen and elastin bio-remodelling process. This collagen building process results in a natural lifting effect.
A dermal filler used to volumise an area usually contains high molecular weight HA cross-linked in BDDE. This will allow the filler to be higher in viscosity, more cohesive that will means that it will be structurally ‘harder’ to take the shape of the area where it ‘fills’. By structurally filling hollow areas where it fills
WHICH IS BETTER? DERMAL FILLER OR PRFHLO HA SKIN BOOSTER?
Which treatment is better?
Prfhlo HA skin booster and Dermal Fillers are both very different. Neither one is better. Essentially, it comes down to the best approach for the results you desire. This is why we always offer a full consultation prior to treatment.
