Profhilo®

Profhilo® is a bio-remodeling, skin boosting treatment that is used to improve the texture, hydration, radiance and overall quality of the skin. It is made up of hyaluronic acid, which is a naturally occurring substance in the body that helps to hydrate and plump the skin.

Profhilo® is used to treat skin laxity on the face, neck and body. It helps remodel wrinkled, sagging and crepey skin. It hydrates and has a stimulatory effect on the cells producing collagen and elastin which help tighten and firm the skin. The new collagen and elastin improve skin quality and provide a more radiant and youthful appearance.

Profhilo® is suitable for anyone who has visible signs of aging, such as fine lines, wrinkles, and loss of elasticity. It is also effective for improving the texture, glow, and hydration of the skin. It’s the perfect treatment to have 1-2 months prior to an event or for anyone just wanting to have beautiful glowing skin every day.

Profhilo® is administered through a series of small injections into the skin. The number of injections required depends on the treatment area. The face will typically have 5-7 injection points per side, and the neck will have around 10 in total.

The injections may cause some discomfort, but most patients find the procedure to be tolerable. Numbing cream and ice may be applied to the treatment area to minimise discomfort.

The treatment session typically takes around 20 to 30 minutes with the injecting part only about 5-10 minutes.

The number of sessions required varies and depends on the patient’s individual response. It is recommended you have 2 initial sessions, spaced 4 weeks apart followed by a maintenance regime of a single treatment every 3-6 months. Occasionally 3 initial treatments are required for more damaged skins.

The results are typically visible after 3-4 weeks. Final results can take up to 3 months.

Some patients may experience mild swelling, redness, or bruising at the injection site. In rare cases, more serious side effects such as infection or allergic reactions may occur. All potential side effects will be discussed with you during your consultation.

After your teatment, it is recommended that patients avoid strenuous activity for 24 hours and avoid consuming alcohol or blood-thinning medications for a few days. A clean cold compress may be applied to the treatment area to minimise swelling.
