Service Description

Profhilo is a series of injections that integrates into the tissues restoring levels of Hyaluronic Acid found in the skin. With age, our skin’s natural Hyaluronic Acid decreases, meaning we get an increase in laxity and loss of general youthful plumpness. Profhilo aims to target skin laxity in the face and neck, correcting the appearance of sagging skin and promoting radiance and hydration. Think of your skin as the most fundamental aspect of your facial aesthetics; good texture creates a glowy appearance, minimal laxity prevents sagging and folds and means dermal fillers can hold and lift with more effect. What is the difference between Profhilo and Dermal fillers? Whereas most fillers available are made of Hyaluronic Acid, these are cross-linked to create a gel which, once injected, stays in place adding volume to the treated area. Profhilo, however, has no volumising effect. Instead, it has a bio-remodelling effect to improve skin quality, acting as a scaffold within the skin to counteract laxity and improve texture and elasticity. How does Profhilo work? Injectable Hyaluronic Acids have a more significant benefit than those that are delivered in serum form as they provide a greater concentration of Hyaluronic Acid to the skin’s dermis. Profhilo has an incredibly high concentration of pure form synthetic Hyaluronic Acid which can be targeted, by injection, into the upper layers of the skin using a small needle. Once injected, the Acid spreads throughout the face, neck or hands. It attracts water to it, helping the skin to look younger and plumper. It triggers the skin to create new collagen and elastin by the process of bio-remodelling assisting the skin to combat signs of ageing such as fine lines and dullness. How many times is Profhilo treatment required? A Profhilo treatment process will consist of just two sessions conducted around one month apart. After around six months, if deemed necessary one more session can be performed to create an even more long-lasting effect. Any risks and side effects? Not at all, 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 and is nothing to be concerned about. To date, Profhilo has been applied to over a million patients worldwide with no known cases of patients suffering from any serious negative effect.
