The future of aesthetic medicine is here! Introducing Profhilo, the revolutionary new approach to skin rejuvenation that’s focusing on tissue renewal and long-term skin health. This game-changing treatment is part of the regenerative aesthetics movement, which aims to restore the skin’s natural architecture and function. Profhilo and Profhilo Structura are injectable treatments that stimulate repair and remodelling, promoting collagen and elastin production without triggering
inflammation.
What is Profhilo?
Profhilo is a collagen-stimulating injectable treatment that improves the texture, hydration, radiance, and overall quality of the skin. It’s made up of hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the body that helps to hydrate and plump the skin. Suitable for older and younger skins, Profhilo is perfect for anyone looking to improve their skin’s overall health and appearance.
How does Profhilo work?
Profhilo is injected into the deeper layers of the dermis, where it spreads to cover a wider area. As a stabilised product, it lasts in the skin for around 28 days, stimulating the production of four different types of collagen and elastin. This process takes time, which is why results are usually seen around three months after treatment.
What are the benefits?
– Improves skin texture and hydration
– Stimulates collagen and elastin production
– Enhances skin radiance and overall quality
– Suitable for older and younger skins
– Minimally invasive with minimal downtime
Profhilo vs regular dermal fillers?
Profhilo is not a dermal filler. Where usual dermal filler products work to fill lines, add structure and volume, Profhilo works as a skin-conditioning treatment. It is a new category of hyaluronic acid treatment known as Bio-remodelling.
It has been described as an ‘injectable moisturiser’ – but it is much more than that. Profhilo’s ability to stimulate collagen and elastin and improve skin texture makes it significantly different from other ‘injectable moisturiser’ treatments.
Profhilo has opened up a new injectable category – bio-remodeling.
To summarise the complex science, it contains two types of HA. Together they combine to provide both a ‘Hydro’ effect and a volumetric ‘Lift’ effect.
Does Profhilo treatment hurt?
It can be a little uncomfortable so we recommend purchasing a numbing cream such as EMLA from the pharmacy and applying the cream to the area that is to be treated one hour prior to your treatment.
Are there any side effects?
Profhilo® has been widely used in Europe. Over a million syringes have been administered and crucially, it has a very well established safety profile.
As with any injectable treatment, there is a risk of swelling, redness, tenderness and bruising for 24-48 hours after treatment.
Initial lumps may take 24-48 hours to settle completely. There is a very rare risk of potential infection or prolonged lumps. Lumps are more visible when treating the neck; they are less noticeable on the face.
Rarely allergy can occur to Hyaluranon or the local anaesthetic cream. It can be treated with antihistamines. There is a small risk of infection which can be treated with antibiotics.
