PROFHILO Skin Remodeller

What is Profhilo®?

The first of its kind, Profhilo® is 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. The most common areas of treatment include the face and neck and can also be used for the décolletage, hands, arms, knees and abdomen area where it would effectively treat skin laxity. The treatment is suitable for men and women as well as offering skin benefits for patients of all ages.

How does Profhilo® work?

Ultra-pure hyaluronic acid is precisely injected into the area being treated. Unlike wrinkle reducing and dermal filler treatments, Profhilo® stimulates collagen and elastin, attracting water in the deeper layers of the skin.

As a stabilised product, the activity on dermal cells will last longer than that of a non-stabilised gel. During this time the stimulation of four different types of collagen and elastin takes place by slow release of hyaluronic acid.

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.

When are the results noticeable?

Whilst it may differ from client to client, most people notice a difference around 2 weeks after their 2nd session, with the target results expected from 4-6 weeks. It is recommended to have 2 treatments spaced 4 weeks apart. 

How long do the results last?

4-6 months. (This may vary depending on lifestyle factors)

 

Does Profhilo® cause swelling / bruising.

Bruising yes, swelling usually not so much. But trauma from the needles themselves may result in some mild swelling. You may also have lumps under the skin which may last up to 24 hours. Depending on the area injected.

 

Are there expected complications?

Some undesired effects which may appear at the injection site are pain, sensation of heat and reddening, bruising or swelling (from the needles). These generally disappear in a short period of time.

 

How many sessions are required?

2 sessions, spaced 4 weeks apart
