Profhilo®

Profhilo® is one of the most exciting developments in aesthetic medicine. Dubbed an ‘injectable moisturiser’ it was awarded ‘Best Injectable Product in Europe’ 2018.

Hyaluronic acid - a naturally occurring substance – is used to hydrate and lift, resulting in more radiant, youthful skin. In addition, it stimulates collagen production over subsequent weeks, thus improving skin quality and texture.

Ideal for anyone with aging or lax skin, Profhilo can also be used to target other problem areas such as the neck and hands.

FAQs

What is Profhilo®?

Profhilo is a biocompatible stabilised complex, combining purified high- (H-HA) and low- (L-HA) molecular weight hyaluronic acids with significant water-attracting properties. Free of chemical cross-linking BDDE, it contains one of the highest concentrations of hyaluronic acid on the market to effectively hydrate and remodel aging skin. Perfect if you don’t want dermal fillers, yet are seeking a treatment to tighten and improve skin quality.

How does it work?

As we age, collagen synthesis in the skin naturally declines whilst its degradation is increased, leading to dryness and wrinkles. Once Profhilo is injected into the skin, H-HA provides scaffolding to the dermis, whilst L-HA hydrates the superficial epidermis. In addition, Profhilo stimulates the production of 4 different types of collagen and elastin, so the results improve further with time.

What are the benefits?

This simple treatment is very effective in plumping up the skin to give a firmer, yet naturally radiant look, and improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Hydrating the skin from the inside-out, that dewy look is achieved within days, which only increases with time as new collagen is produced, remodelling skin laxity and improving quality.

What does it involve?

Following full assessment to ensure Profhilo is suitable, you will receive the first of two treatments, 4 weeks apart. This involves only a small number of injections, at what are described as the Bio Aesthetic Points (BAP), as the product consistency means it disperses evenly under the surface of the skin. You will see improvement within 2-3 days, but the best results will usually be seen about 4 weeks after your second treatment. Effects last for around 6 months.
