How does Profhilo treatment work?

Unlike other injections that just plump your skin or fill the wrinkles, Profhilo works to treat the main cause of the problem. The slow release of Hyaluronic acid by Profhilo boosts the production of collagen and elastin, in turn improving skin tone, hydration and the appearance of signs of ageing. Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance produced in our bodies. Its main function is to retain moisture and aid in collagen production. Hyaluronic acid is essential for your skin health. According to a 2012 article, roughly half of the hyaluronic acid in your body is present in your skin, where it binds to water to help retain moisture.

Factors like age, sun exposure, tobacco, and smoke can slow down its production. In Profhilo treatment, hyaluronic acid is injected just underneath the surface of the skin, where it disperses quickly and reacts with your tissues to instantly boost hydration. The procedure involves five injections on each side of the face or ten injections in the neck area. Over the next few weeks, it stimulates collagen and elastin production, producing a skin tightening effect.

What are the benefits of Profhilo treatment?

Profhilo treatment has a plethora of benefits:

• It improves skin tone and skin texture.
• The hyaluronic acid which is injected retains moisture and hydrates your skin. This leads to naturally glowing skin.
• Profhilo treatment boosts collagen and elastin production and increases firmness and elasticity to promote healthier and softer-looking skin.
• The treatment can be used preventatively to avoid loss of volume and dullness.
• Profhilo treatment can be used to treat multiple parts of the body:
  • Face
  • Neck
  • Décolletage
  • Hands
  • Arms
  • Knees
  • Elbows

How many Profhilo treatment sessions are required?

It is recommended to have at least two Profhilo treatment sessions in order to see the most pronounced results. Profhilo is injected just below the skin’s surface over two sessions four weeks apart. A further session may be recommended for more mature and aged skin to reverse any stubborn ageing symptoms or prominent skin problems.

Once the initial two or three sessions are complete, you may want to top up the treatment every six months to prolong the results.

Is there any downtime?

Profhilo treatment requires minimal downtime. Since it is a non-invasive procedure, you can promptly return to your daily routine. However, you should follow a few precautions:

• Avoid intense sun or UV light exposure for the first few days after treatment.
• Refrain from applying make-up for a few days post-treatment.
• Give sports, swimming, and any other strenuous physical activity a miss for 24 hours since this can interfere with the Profhilo treatment and reduce effectiveness.
• Avoid saunas and steam rooms for a few days.
• Avoid frequently touching the treated area.

Are there any side effects of Profhilo treatment?

While it is a highly effective and safe procedure, you can experience a few minor side effects like:

• Bruising
• Redness
• Swelling
• Tenderness
• Itching
