Profhilo

The Concern:

As we age our skin loses moisture which can result in signs of skin laxity and ageing. As we lose collagen in our skin, we start noticing these signs and they can be concerning – especially if you see a crepe-like texture of aging skin beginning to appear.

Slight sagging, emerging wrinkles and dehydrated skin are also common concerns from patients that seek this treatment.

The Solution:

Profhilo® is a revolutionary ‘beneath the skin’ hyaluronic acid moisturising treatment, made with the patented NAHYCO® technology. 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.

Profhilo is an injectable skin remodelling treatment that is used for its subtle but immediate hydrating and skin tightening results.

The product has won multiple aesthetics awards and is loved by beauty editors and celebrity facialists the world over due to its almost instant and long-lasting results.

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 tissue. 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. The treatment is suitable for men and women as well as offering skin benefits for patients of all ages.

The Method:

A Profhilo treatment only takes between 10 and 30 minutes to administer. Our Aesthetics Practitioner needs to inject just below your skin’s surface at approximately 10 points in your face to administer the product to the whole area.

Other parts of your body such as your hands, neck or décolleté may need a different amount.

If required a topical numbing cream may be applied.

The injections are fine, and so pain is minimised. Once injected into the skin, the hyaluronic acid disperses quickly beneath the skin. There is no need for massaging the area during and/or after the treatment nor is there a risk of leaving lumps or nodules.

The Results:
This is the treatment that offers a gift – that keeps on giving as the improvements just get better and better over time.

Some improvement to texture and firmness may be seen immediately after treatment but for the full effect it can take up to 5 days to show. One week after the treatment, you’ll start noticing the skin hydration benefits. Skin feels plumper and smoother. After four weeks, you’ll see the bio-remodelling, anti-aging effects. Features are lifted, fine lines are improved, skin feels tighter and looks more luminous and radiant.

Aftercare:

No significant downtime is required after this procedure however it is advised that you refrain from overly physical exercise and intense heat treatments, such as saunas for at least 24 hours after the treatment.
