Profhilo

What Is Profhilo?

Profhilo is an injectable anti-aging treatment made from hyaluronic acid. Once injected the high concentration of hyaluronic acid stimulates the production of collagen, elastin, and proliferate adipocytes (fat) stem cells to improve skin tone, hydration and the reduce the appearance of fine lines. Hyaluronic acid is hydrophilic which means that it draws and retains water in your body, thereby acting as a hydrator rather than a filler. The slow release of hyaluronic acid by Profhilo results in natural bio-remodelling of the skin and improved skin quality lasting for up to six months.

What Areas Can Profhilo Treat?

Treatment with Profhilo improves skin tone, texture, hydration and overall radiance.  It can help to increase firmness and elasticity and promote healthier and softer-looking skin. So, Profhilo can be technically used anywhere but it is most commonly used for face, as well as neck, decollete, elbows, knees and hands.

What Are the Benefits of Profhilo?

Profhilo is beneficial in many aspects. It can improve the texture, hydration, and tone of the skin, making it look more youthful as a result. Rather than just “filling in” the wrinkles, Profhilo addressed wrinkles through maximum hydration. By stimulating collagen production, the treatment plumps up your skin which naturally helps to smoothen out wrinkles and fine lines. The skin will be radiant, as the elasticity and firmness are improved.

What Are the Side Effects of Profhilo?

The only reported side effects are bruising and mild swelling at the injection sites. These generally disappear in a short period of time and are associated with the needle, not the product. Individuals who are allergic to Hyaluronic Acid should not consider Profhilo. Similarly, women who are pregnant or breastfeeding are not recommended to go through this treatment.

FAQs

What does Profhilo treatment involve?

Profhilo is injected just below the skin’s surface over 2 sessions 4 weeks apart. Profhilo is absorbed within a 2cm radius of its injection site, so to treat the face only 10 injection points are needed in total. Once the treatment is complete, people may start seeing some intense hydration and the disappearance of fine lines.

How long will it take to recover after the treatment?

People can go back to their normal activities after the treatment. There may be some small, raised lumps around the treated area, but they will go away in 4-12 hours. Still, people should not go swimming for 24 hours or apply makeup for 12 hours.

How many sessions are necessary?

To see results after the procedure, the patient should go through a course of 2 injectable treatments. The sessions take place 4 weeks apart. Once the treatment is complete, people may start seeing some intense hydration and the disappearance of fine lines.

Who is suitable for this treatment?

Profhilo is great for both men and women who who show moderate ageing signs and want to improve the elasticity, hydration, look and feel of their skin.

How long will the results last?

Generally, the results of Profhilo will last for up to 6 months. However, it all varies from one person to another, and how they take care of their skin.

Is Profhilo the same as traditional dermal fillers?

Although they both contain Hyaluronic Acid, Profhilo is different from traditional dermal fillers as the HA solution is designed draws and retains water in your body, thereby acting as a hydrator whereas a filler is designed to fill creases and lines.

What’s the difference between Profhilo and Sunekos?

There are many similarities between Profhilo and Sunekos but, in our experience, Profhilo is best to refresh, firm and smooth skin, giving its’ “glow back” whereas Sunekos is generally better suited for skin with more advanced signs of ageing. More information on the differences between the two can be found in our Blog.
