Profhilo is a skin bio-remodelling treatment designed to remodel multi-layer skin tissue and treat ageing sources and symptoms. It is a hyaluronic acid-based treatment that corrects skin laxity and hydration by rejuvenating the production of natural collagen and elastin in the skin. It works well for general treatment areas such as the face, neck, and body.
On the face, Profhilo can help with skin that has lost elasticity, is dry, toneless, dull, and has fine lines and wrinkles. On the neck, the treatment targets dry and sagging skin, with horizontal wrinkles. For the rest of the body, such as decollete, arms, and hands, Profhilo treatment addresses sagging and toneless skin, with dynamic wrinkles. It also intervenes in the dermal tissue repair process and can help in the treatment of acne or scars.
The treatment is suitable for both men and women, and it is highly recommended for adults of all ages who are looking for an effective method to hydrate their skin and improve skin laxity, elasticity, and fine lines. It can be used to benefit patients regardless of the skin type or skin tone they have. For individuals with more maturely damaged skin, additional treatments may be needed to achieve the desired result. It is not recommended for people under the age of 25.
The initial treatment consists of 2 x Profhilo injections administered 4 weeks apart. It is very quick to administer – taking just 15 minutes and requires little to no recovery time. Full results are typically seen only after the second session. And it takes up to 8 weeks to see the benefits because this is a process that causes the skin to create more collagen and elastin and this is how long it normally takes for the body to produce them. The results will last up to six months after the treatment and a repeat cycle is recommended once the initial cycle is over. Profhilo is not a filler, it doesn’t add volume to specific areas, but it is possible to have Profhilo treatments before and after filler.
Profhilo is a hyaluronic acid-based treatment for the face, neck, and body. Because it is only based on natural body acids and does not contain any synthetic chemicals, harmful side effects and allergic reactions are extremely rare. The most common side effect is the mild swelling and bruising that could arise at the injection points. However, this symptom normally disappears quickly, within 24 hours. The results vary for patients, but overall it corrects skin laxity, improves skin structure, hydrates the skin, gives an overall lift, and returns firmness.
