D.fter the foundation with healing ingredients and many other beauty products halfway between makeup and skincare, recently the term “hybrid” it also came into use in aesthetic medicine: the new face fillers are in fact defined as “hybrids” and promise better aesthetic performance than traditional ones. Because?
Hybrid fillers, the new injectable treatments are smarter
Starting from the ABC: among the procedures that rejuvenate the face by adding volume, in the first place there are injectables based on hyaluronic acid (HA), followed by those with calcium hydroxyapatite (CaHa).

While the former are essentially fillers, i seconds also perform a stimulating action. While restoring the volumes, they induce a neo-collagenesis, or the process of natural production of new collagen which manifests itself over time with an effect natural firming and plumping.
Many specialists so far have used these two typologies by stratifying them in the course of a single procedure to reap the benefits of both. But things are changing.
Hybrid fillers: what they are and how they work
To improve performance, Allergan Aesthetics has therefore pre-combined these two ingredients – filler hyaluronic acid e stimulating calcium hydroxyapatite – in a new filler defined, in fact, hybrid: HArmonyCa. Not only that: there is also some pre-mixed lidocaineactive ingredient used as a local anesthetic.
«Produces a fill immediately visible on wrinkles and volumes to be restored. Simultaneously, in the following weeks, it triggers a biochemical stimulation leading to the creation of new fibers that give tone and firmnessproducing a lifting effect and long-term rejuvenation, ”he explains Maurizio Cavallini, Specialist in plastic, reconstructive and aesthetic surgery.
The plus of the hybrid filler: it does not just fill, but stimulates
“A hybrid filler not only guarantees an increase in volume, but therefore also starts a virtuous bio-regenerating circle and inspiring that stretches the tissues giving a long-lasting lifting effect. With this method all areas of the face with loss of volume, laxity / tissue ptosis are treated “.
There is hyaluronic acid and hyaluronic acid: how to understand the differences
The hyaluronic acids they are not all the same, explains Antonello Tateo, Specialist in Plastic Surgery. Aesthetic and Reconstructive.
They are, in fact, “molecules that can have different sizes (from the finest to the largest which, depending on the size, are defined as low, medium and high molecular weight) and can be more or less rigid, a characteristic linked to the particular bridges of varying length (cross-links) that allow them to be “tied” to keep them together ».
«Hyaluronic acids are excellent volumizers that remain stably implanted where it is needed but, once dissolved, they exhaust their function which is essentially that of creating thickness without releasing any nourishment to the tissues, on the contrary instead of this new hybrid type“.
IBSA Profhilo protocol, for face and body
Signed IBSAthe Profhilo protocol is one of the most innovative procedures at the moment in Italy: makes use of a hybrid formula which combines both properties volumizing and stimulating virtues of hyaluronic acid.
“It is a scientific discovery by an Italian team that has subjected this substance to a special thermal process that puts it in tune with its peers without resorting to any chemical bond: in other words, the molecules of hyaluronic acid “cooperate” between them remaining united in a natural way distributing themselves perfectly in the dermis », explains Tateo.
«Once inoculated, the new preparation it integrates perfectly with the skin ensuring consistency and also one regenerating boost dynamics similar to that provided by a biorevitalizing injection “.
«This innovative formula is able to effectively combat not only the face, but also the laxity of the arms and abdomen typical of slender silhouettes. It is also effective for the treatment of toneless inner thighs »concludes the expert.
