Profhilo
Profhilo is an injectable anti-ageing treatment made from hyaluronic acid for skin that is losing its elasticity and firmness. The purpose of the product is to counteract the natural reduction of hyaluronic acid in the skin, restoring elasticity, improving skin tone and hydration with the mechanical action of lifting the skin. From a safety perspective, Profhilo is highly biocompatible as it is made from natural hyaluronic acid and stabilised without the addition of chemical cross-linking agents. With one of the highest concentrations of hyaluronic acid on the market (64mg / 2ml) it is not only boosting and hydrating the skin, but also remodels the ageing and sagging tissue.
Due to the high purity of this product and absence of additives, Profhilo offers greater safety and reduced side effects. It is considered “a true breakthrough” in anti-ageing medicine.
Profhilo diffuses within the tissue after injection and stimulates 4 different types of collagen and elastin.It is not a filler, but a hyaluronic acid gel that bio-remodels your skin to treat its laxity.
It is intended for tissue remodelling, improvement in skin laxity in the face, neck and body. It is a temporary treatment and the Hyaluronic acid is completely broken down within the skin leaving no trace.
Who is suitable for Profhilo?
Profhilo is suitable for any person age thirty or over. It can be used preemptively or for those who have noticed the first signs of skin laxity or skin ageing.
As we start to age there is significant collagen loss. For a host of reasons tissue quality drops more rapidly for some people and consequently ageing is exaggerated. If you feel the quality of your skin has started to become lax, or is drooping significantly, or maybe you are looking older than your age, you should consider this treatment option.
A course of Profhilo involves two injectable treatments spaced four weeks apart. You can expect to see a gradual intense hydration, improved skin quality & tightening of your skin, and a more youthful look.
How many treatments will I need?
A treatment with Profhilo is two sessions spaced approximately 4 weeks apart. In some extreme cases of laxity a third session may be recommended. Then one treatment every 6 months. As with every treatment, results will vary from person to person and depends upon the degree of correction required, your age and lifestyle, and to your body’s response to treatment.
Are there any side effects?
As with any injectable product there is always a risk of bruising. Because it is injected in the superficial layers of the skin there will be some bumps, swelling or erythema at the injection sites which normally resolves in a few hours. In some cases this may last for around 24 hrs
Is there any down time?
You can usually return to work immediately after treatment, however you may have some slight swelling or bruises
