WHAT IS PROFHILO®?
Profhilo is the ‘acceptable injectable’ for skin rejuvenation. It is the new injectable on the block that targets dullness and all the things we have to look forward to as we age, like lines and wrinkles, skin laxity and skin laxity/ loss of fullness (sigh). And, just like most fillers, hyaluronic acid is also the main player here, being injected into 10 different points of the face or neck (5 on each side).
With one of the highest concentrations of HA on the market (64mg / 2ml in one syringe) it not only boosts and hydrates the skin but also remodels the aging and sagging tissue.
Profhilo delivers great results as a treatment on its own or in combination with other aesthetic treatments currently on offer.
HOW DOES PROFHILO WORK?
Step-1
Ultra-pure hyaluronic acid is precisely injected into the area being treated. Unlike wrinkle reducing and dermal filler treatments, Profhilo stimulates collagen and elastin, attracting water in the deeper layers of the skin.
Step-2
As a stabilised product, the activity on dermal cells will last longer than that of a non-stabilised gel. During this time the stimulation of four different types of collagen and elastin takes place by slow release of hyaluronic acid.
Step-3
The stimulation results in significant tissue improvement. Therefore we cannot say that Profhilo is a skin booster as it also has a significant tightening / lifting effect on the tissue.
WHAT CAN PROFHILO DO FOR YOU?
PROFHILO® is used to regenerate Collagen and Elastin in the skin and give you:
- Plumping effect
- Increased elasticity
- Soft tissues treatment
- Lifting effect
- Re modelling
- Redefinition
- Tissue regeneration
WHAT ABOUT COMBINING WITH OTHER COSMETIC TREATMENTS?
You can use Profhilo® with other cosmetic treatments, but we advise no botulinum toxin for two weeks prior. No microdermabrasion, chemical peel, IPL or laser for 1–2 weeks pre or post treatment. Avoid fractional resurfacing 4 weeks pre and post Profhilo® treatment.
WHICH AGE IS INDICATED FOR PROFHILO?
With our natural collagen and elastin formation slowing from as young as 20 years of age anybody and everybody can benefit from Profhilo whether you are 30 or 70, male or female you will notice the difference.
HOW MANY SESSIONS? HOW OFTEN?
For a result, you are required to have 2 treatments 4 weeks apart. After a 6 to 9 month period or when you begin to see the treatment’s effects wearing away, then you can top up treatments if you wish to continue. You can use the treatment in combination with other cosmetic treatments.
WHEN IS PROFHILO NOT RECOMMENDED?
While PROFHILO® is quite safe, it’s used is not indicated for clients who are:
- Pregnant
- Breast Feeding
- Allergy
- Immunocompromised
ARE THE PROFHILO INJECTIONS PAINFUL?
PROFHILO® is injected with a very fine needle and cause minimal discomfort.
DOES PROFHILO CAUSE SWELLING?
When PROFHILO® is injected correctly in the suggested injection layer and in the suggested area there is usually minimal swelling. However, there is always a risk of swelling, bruising and allergic reaction with any injected medicine. You will have little blebs or bumps at the injection sites for 24 hours after treatment, but these will disperse as the product disperses.
We recommend not having treatment if you have an important event in the next 2 weeks should any bruising or swelling be unacceptable.
EXPERT VIEW
Dr Emma Ravichandran says: “Anyone who presents with signs of skin ageing and is suitable for dermal filler treatment is also suitable for treatment with Profhilo. Once injected, the product immediately starts spreading due to the high concentration of HA and its cohesive nature. The BAP technique is an extremely effective and simple technique to use for injectors who are not comfortable with the use of cannulas.”
