Profhilo

About the treatment

When it comes to skin rejuvenation our newest skin remodelling treatment Profhilo, is proving to be a real game changer in the world of aesthetics. Profhilo is a revolutionary new non-surgical skin laxity treatment that addresses facial lines and wrinkles, but also skin laxity, improving tone, texture and hydration. The treatment is aimed at clients who have visible signs of ageing skin.

As we age, our skin produces less collagen and elastin. Collagen and elastin are the building blocks which make up plumped up healthy skin. Profhilo uses advanced patented technologies to help remodel the skin. It is made of Hyaluronic Acid (HA). It effectively stimulates the production of natural collagen and elastin to re-energise and renew the skin. It stimulates four different types of collagen and elastin due to the slow release of hyaluronic acid, and it is this stimulation that results in significant improvement of tissue quality. Profhilo, at present, is the only product capable of stimulating the natural production of all four types of collagen and elastin, making it truly unique.

With visible results in as little as 2 treatments, Profhilo continues to be a fantastic choice for those wanting to combat ageing, dull or tired looking skin and loss of facial volume.

Skin Conditions Treated

  • Overall facial rejuvenation
  • Facial sagging
  • Sagging neck skin
  • Crepey texture on neck
  • Hand rejuvenation

How does the treatment work?

This hyaluronic acid treatment works by stimulating 4 different types of collagen and elastin due to the slow release of hyaluronic acid, and it is this stimulation that results in significant improvement of tissue quality.

Rather than replacing volume or creating a volumetric lift like other dermal fillers Profhilo is able to create volume in the tissue where it is needed due to its high spreadability.

This characteristic of Profhilo makes it an ideal treatment for improving elasticity and tightening areas such as the neck, around the mouth and hands without giving an artificially enhanced appearance.

Most clients request Profhilo treatments in the submalar area (between the cheek and chin) to tighten skin and lift jowls. Profhilo will result in significantly noticeable skin tightening and give you a lifting effect between your cheek and chin in just 8 weeks. We advise that you have two treatments four weeks apart.

Improve Skin Tone, Texture, Hydration & Elasticity with Profhilo

Profhilo can provide the following benefits:

  • Improve skin tone and texture
  • Increase skin firmness and elasticity
  • Tighten and lift skin
  • Restore radiance
  • Rehydrated skin

Profhilo is an injectable anti-ageing treatment made from hyaluronic acid for skin that is losing its elasticity and firmness with age. It can be used on any part of your body where the skin shows visible signs of ageing. There is an immediately noticeable improvement in skin tone, hydration as well as firmness, and lines are minimized. Hyaluronic acid is best known as a ‘filler’ and is usually used to give volume to lips or to contour other areas of the face. Profhilo differs from the usual fillers in a number of ways due to its structure which allows it to flow over an extended area to boost hydration and smooth or ‘remodel’ the skin.


FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

To help maintain the effects of Profhilo we recommend that you have a treatment every 9-12 months.
Profhilo is not a filler, but a HA (Hyaluronic Acid) gel, which bio-remodels your skin to treat its laxity. It is an ultrapure grade hyaluronic acid, produced through a patented bio-fermentation process which ranks worldwide as “top quality” in terms of purity and safety.
The formulation of HA with different molecular weights contained in PROFHILO is based on a concept of Hydrolift Action. This innovative approach is aimed at counteracting the reduction of HA in the skin, restoring elasticity and skin tone and deep hydration with the mechanical action of lifting the skin.
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.
Profhilo is the latest skin tightening treatment used in facelift treatment. It helps you overcome the problem of facial ageing, making you appear younger. It is made of 100% HA and is unbelievably effective in nourishing dermal cells and restoring natural firmness of the skin. It helps to get rid of crepey skin by hydrating it from inside out.
It can be used in the Face, Neck, and Décolletage. On the body it can treat the Hands, Upper Arms and above the Knees.
Anyone from their 30’s onwards who want to keep their skin strong and in good condition, and those that have started to notice the first signs of skin laxity, or have visible signs of ageing skin. These are the ideal times to start preventive therapies to accommodate the loss.
As we age we start losing significant collagen, hyaluronic acid and elastin after the age of 30. In some, the tissue quality has dropped more rapidly and they may look older than their actual age. If you feel the quality of your facial tissue has started to become lax or is drooping significantly or maybe you are looking older than your age, you should consider this treatment option – as this is where Profhilo fits beautifully.
In younger people, it can have a more of a preventive effect by strengthening the skins collagen and elastin, and by increasing its hydration.
Consultation is very important, if there is significant volume loss or deep folds are present as well as laxity, then treatment with Profhilo initially will replace lost collagen and elastin, strengthening the skin. This in combination with other options like dermal fillers after for volumisation, once the skin has regained its strength and hydration can have much better results than maybe with fillers alone.
Profhilo = dermal scaffolding.
If you are new to cosmetic injectables and want a more subtle look than fillers, or you are not ready yet to have dermal fillers, Profhilo may be the best treatment for you. In some circumstances it may be considered by your practitioner that the quality of your skin may need to improve before introducing other treatments. Profhilo actually compliments all other aesthetic or cosmetic procedures by significantly improving the tissue quality, tightening it and giving support to the structures underneath.
A course of Profhilo involves two injectable treatments spaced four weeks apart. You can expect to see a gradual intense hydration, improvement in lines and tightness of your skin. After eight weeks is when you will see the most improvement with a lifting and tightening of the skin – it is more hydrated and appears more youthful and in better health. Some patients have reported an immediate improvement after treatment. Overall, you can expect increased firmness, elasticity and an overall improved quality of skin, with the effects lasting up to six months or longer.
A treatment with Profhilo is two sessions spaced approximately 4 weeks apart. In some extreme cases of laxity a third session may be recommended.
The effects are temporary and repeat treatments of 1 or 2 sessions can be carried out from approximately 6 months onward in order to maintain the results.
Profhilo diffuses within the tissue after injection and over the period of 4 weeks after each injection, it stimulates 4 different types of collagen and elastin. You will start to see improvements after 4 weeks of the first treatment; however the best results are normally 8 weeks after the first session.
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.
You will of course need to have a face to face consultation to assess the best treatment for you individually. If you have recently had any other filler or toxin treatment in the same area, you may need to wait before having Profhilo. This will all be discussed in your consultation.
In order to reduce the risk of bruising please avoid alcohol, and if safe for you to do so avoid anti-inflammatories, aspirin, and food supplements that cause blood thinning, unless these have been prescribed by your doctor.
Do not wear make-up on the day of treatment.
From a safety perspective, Profhilo is highly biocompatible, owing to the fact that it is made from natural hyaluronic acid and stabilised without the addition of chemical cross-linking agents.
It is considered to be safe, effective and “a true breakthrough” in anti-ageing medicine.
Due to the high purity of this product and absence of additives, Profhilo offers greater safety and reduced side effects.
As with any injectable product there is always a risk of bruising. There may 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.
You can usually return to work immediately after treatment, however you may have some slight swelling or bruises.
