What is Profhilo?
Profhilo is an injectable hybrid complex made of two different molecular weight hyaluronic acids in the highest concentration available globally. Profhilo is not a dermal filler or a biorevitaliser, it’s a bioremodelling product specifically targeted for skin laxity, loss of elasticity and overall skin tightening. There are three different formulations and treatments available: Profhilo, Profhilo Body, Profhilo Structura.
Profhilo (64mg/2ml) is indicated for skin tissue remodelling and skin laxity or face and neck.
Profhilo Structura (90mg/2ml) is an advanced version of the original Profhilo treatment, designed to target more specific areas of concern where volume loss and skin sagging is more severe.
Profhilo Body (93mg/3ml) is indicated for use on décolletage, stomach, arms, inner thighs, knees and anywhere where there is loose skin on the body.
FAQ
Key Benefits
Profhilo treatment properties are rejuvenating and are vital towards anti-ageing. They have various benefits, such as: boosts hydration for even texture and clear complexion, tightens thin and sagging skin, lifts and rejuvenates the cheeks by hydrating and plumping, tightens jowls, aids collagen and elastin production.
How does it work?
Profhilo comprises one of the greatest concentrations of stabilised hyaluronic acid available and acts more like a hydrating treatment, rather than a filler. The treatment is injected right under the skin’s surface, allowing it to quickly disperse and react with the patient’s own tissue. This will instantly cause a hydration boost, with almost immediate physical results.
During the following four weeks, the treatment continues to work, by enhancing the production of collagen and elastin. The effect this has is a younger, smoother, plumper appearance, thus remodelling the skin.
It’s gel like texture, Profhilo is able to distribute evenly and smoothly, without forming any lumps. For this reason, Profhilo may be injected in areas that are often problematic to treat using traditional fillers, for example, the forehead and neck.
How many sessions do I require?
Two treatment sessions are recommended, carried out four weeks apart. Patients may wish to undergo additional sessions after six months to maintain results.
How long does it last?
This will vary from patient to patient and factors such as your age, skin condition and lifestyle. However majority of patients experience increased firmness, elasticity and an overall improved quality of the skin lasting six to nine months.
Who is this treatment for?
This is a cosmetic procedure which is most suitable for patients who are 30 and over, particularly those who are unhappy with the laxity of their skin, or are experiencing obvious signs of ageing, uneven skin texture, sagging skin, wrinkles and fine lines.
How is it carried out?
The treatment is injected using fine needles, directly beneath the skin, at five specific points on each side of the face. The procedure is mostly pain free, which means that there is typically no need to apply a pain relief cream as with other treatments.
How is it different to traditional dermal fillers?
While dermal fillers primarily add volume to specific areas, Profhilo focuses on overall skin quality. It stimulates collagen and elastin production, providing a tighter skin texture and improving skin tone. Profhilo does not use chemical cross linking agents, which are present in many dermal filler treatments, making it a very safe treatment with fewer risks of complications.
Is it safe?
Profhilo is considered a very safe treatment with minimal risk of serious complications. Since it uses hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance produced by the body, it integrates well with the skin.
Aftercare
No downtime or time off work is necessary after Profhilo treatment. Following the procedure, patients can return to their normal day-to-day activities.
