Profhilo®
Profhilo® is a wonderful collagen and elastin boosting treatment for anyone who is looking for skin that looks dewy, plumper and generally younger.
​
What is Profhilo?
Profhilo® is a revolutionary 'beneath the skin' hyaluronic acid moisturising treatment and skin tightener that creates a gentle lift and has the benefit of giving the skin a plump, hydrated glow. This results in a unique hyaluronic acid injectable gel, which has a prolonged stimulating activity on the dermal cells. When injected into skin, Profhilo stimulates the skin cell receptors to counteract skin laxity and improve and restore firmness of the skin.
​
It lasts in the skin around 28 days and during this time the stimulation of 4 different types of collagen and elastin takes place by the slow release of HA. This stimulation results in significant tissue improvement and stimulation of the collagen production. One of the highest concentrations of hyaluronic acid on the market, Profhilo not only boosts and hydrates the skin, but also remodels ageing and sagging tissues.
​
Who is it for?
Profhilo is an excellent choice for those noticing the signs of ageing skin but aren't ready to have dermal fillers done yet.
This is typically after the age of 30 when we begin to lose large amounts of collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid.
The treatment is suitable for men and women.
What areas can be treated?
​
The most common areas of treatment include the face and neck and can also be used for the décolletage, hands , arms, knees and abdomen area where it would effectively treat skin laxity.
Does it hurt?
It’s relatively painless.
Like any injection, you may feel the point of entry but the sensation will be bearable.
How many sessions do I need?
The treatment involves two sessions 4 weeks apart, after the 2nd session is recommended to do a single session every 6 months to maintain the effect.
Any downtime?
There’s no real down time involved although you may experience slight bombs at the injection site, occasionally bruising.
