PROFHILO | From £250.00

A revolutionary ‘beneath the skin’ hyaluronic acid moisturising treatment, made with the patented NAHYCO® technology. This results in a unique hyaluronic acid injectable gel, which has a prolonged stimulating activity on the dermal cells. When injected into skin, Profhilo® stimulates the skin cell receptors to counteract skin laxity and improve and restore firmness of the skin. 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.

HOW DOES PROFHILO WORK?

Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance produced in our body, found in skin, joints and other connective tissue. It’s role is to retain moisture in the body and aid collagen production. It can hold 1000 times its weight in water which makes it ideal for binding moisture in the skin. With age, however, hyaluronic acid production slows and the skin looks duller and dehydrated, with fine lines and wrinkles forming.

Profhilo contains one of the highest concentrations of stabilised hyaluronic acid on the market. Because it is thermally bonded and not chemically bonded it acts as a hydrator not a filler. It is injected just underneath the surface of the skin where it disperses quickly and reacts with your own tissue to instantly boost hydration. Over the next four weeks phase two kicks in as it goes to work boosting elastin and collagen production. This effectively remodels the skin and giving it a plumper, smoother and firmer appearance.

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 IS BIO-REMODELING?

Bio-remodeling is the technical term used to describe the process of creating new collagen and elastin in the skin. This has a profound effect in helping to reverse visible signs of ageing, such as lines, wrinkles, dullness or thinning skin. On the contrary, it also helps to restructure and restore, leading to a more rejuvenated and glowing complexion.

WHO CAN BENEFIT FROM PROFHILO?

If you are looking to rejuvenate and hydrate your skin, we highly recommend considering a Profhilo treatment. It can be effective on various areas of the face, however is particularly beneficial for anyone who is concerned regarding the appearance of the lower area of their face. Furthermore, Profhilo can help provide your skin a firmer, smooth look and is excellent for reducing fine facial lines.

HOW MANY TREATMENTS ARE REQUIRED?

The full treatment consists of two sessions, one month apart. A further session may be recommended after approximately six months in order to prolong the effect. Profhilo can be used on its own or in conjunction with other fillers, laser treatments or Botox as a complementary, rather than a competitive treatment.

ARE THERE ANY SIDE EFFECTS OR RISKS?

Profhilo is a very safe treatment with no long-term negative effects. Following injection, you may naturally experience some slight redness or bruising, but this will typically fade away within a few hours. To date, Profhilo has been applied to over a million patients worldwide with no known cases of patients suffering from any serious negative effects.

DOWNTIME & AFTERCARE

There is no downtime. It is advisable to avoid alcohol, aspirin or anti-inflammatory medication in the 24 hours before treatment. Immediately after treatment you should avoid wearing make-up, and give sports, swimming and any other strenuous physical activity a miss for 24 hours. It is also best to avoid saunas and steam rooms for a few days after treatment.
