PROFHILO®

HYALURONIC ACID SKIN HYDRATOR

A very well known, multi-award winning injectable skin moisturiser (dubbed an injectable moisturiser), made of uncross-linked hyaluronic acid

WHAT IS IT?

PROFHILO contains HYALURONIC ACID, which is a substance that we naturally have in our body already.

It acts as a 'moisturiser' or hydrating agent as it attracts water (it can actually hold 1000x its own weight in water!)

We naturally lose HA as we age, leading to an increase in lines and wrinkles. PROFHILO aims to replace it

PROFHILO® OVERVIEW

HOW DOES IT WORK?

The product is injected in small boluses beneath the skin. Over the next few hours and days it spreads out, boosting the amount of HA in the skin. It gives both a hydrating effect, and a bio-stimulating effect by encouraging your skin to produce more collagen and elastin.

WHAT IMPROVEMENTS CAN I EXPECT?

A subtle and natural improvement in hydration, without the volumising effect of filler.

Improved tone, texture, elasticity and firmness of the skin.

A reduction in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles

THOSE WHO ARE UNSUITABLE FOR THIS TREATMENT?

Those who are pregnant or breastfeeding

Those who have a known allergy to components of the product

Those who have an active infection on the face

Those who are immunocompromised

WHO NEEDS TO CAREFULLY CONSIDER THIS TREATMENT AS IT HAS A HIGHER RISK OF COMPLICATIONS?

Those on blood thinners

Those with an auto-immune disease

Those who have had other facial treatments recently will need to plan an interval accordingly

ADVANTAGES

PROFHILO has been around for a while and it is very well regarded and a well tolerated treatment

Very low risk of allergy

Very little downtime

DRAWBACKS

We're not going to lie - this one stings a bit!

Two treatments usually needed to see good effect

Response to treatment is individual so you may notice a really significant change, or potentially very little or no change.

WHAT DOES THE TREATMENT INVOLVE?

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO SEE RESULTS?

5 injections to each side of the face

Results from the first session

Best results two weeks after the second session (which is done approximately 4 weeks after the first treatment)

PROFHILO®

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.
