Profhilo is the unique skin remodelling treatment that recently arrived at Skin Enhance And Wellness. Profhilo has an amazing ability to integrate into your skin to restore the levels of hyaluronic acid naturally found within the skin.
What does hyaluronic acid do within my skin?
Firstly, it maintains hydration within the skin. Hyaluronic acid acts like a sponge holding onto water. This gives your skin a dewy, glowing, and youthful appearance. Secondly, it has a plumping action. As a gel, it fills spaces helping to plump up your skin. Hence it is able to reduce deep lines and wrinkles while giving it resiliency. Thirdly, it helps to heal wounds. When the skin is injured, hyaluronic acid production increases to aid the healing process.
Hyaluronic acid – What’s all the fuss about?
What happens to Hyaluronic acid within my skin?
Did you know that the greatest amount of hyaluronic acid is found in the skin? The skin contains around half of the body’s total volume. However, natural hyaluronic acid is constantly being produced and broken down after a few days. As we age, hyaluronic acid levels drop, and this is most noticeable as women hit menopause.
What is Profhilo?
Profhilo is an injectable treatment with the highest concentration of hyaluronic acid. Surprisingly, it contains even more hyaluronic acid than dermal fillers, but it is not a dermal filler. Unlike dermal fillers, Profhilo is able to spread underneath the skin surface. Here, it instigates skin remodeling without adding volume to the area. Within the skin, it stimulates the production of four different types of collagen and elastin over a period of time. The results are improvement in skin texture, elasticity, and hydration. Although the product itself is degraded in 4 weeks, the biostimulation effects continue. This results in significant tissue improvement over many weeks to come.
Who would benefit from Profhilo?
As a skin rejuvenation treatment, anyone can benefit from Profhilo. In youthful skin, it promotes healthier skin resulting in a dewy, radiant appearance. Contrastingly, in those with sagging or dehydrated skin, Profhilo promotes healthier, hydrated, and firmer skin.
As a treatment it can help address:
Poor skin laxity
Uneven skin texture
Uneven skin tone
Dehydrated skin
Dull skin
What happens during my treatment session?
For facial treatment, you would have five injections on your cheeks and lower face per side. The whole process takes about 20-30 minutes. You do not require and numbing cream prior to this procedure. Afterward, you can return to normal activities with a few raised red bumps on the skin.
What can I expect after a treatment?
Possible side effects to expect are redness, mild swelling, tightness, and itching. Fortunately, these only last for 1-2 days.
Avoid makeup and strenuous exercise for the first 24 hours after your treatment. You should avoid intense sunlight for 2-3 weeks post-procedure. Compliment with a good skincare routine including daily sunscreen to enhance your results. Aftercare information will always be provided post-procedure.
How many Profhilo treatments will I need?
Initially, you will need 2 sessions four weeks apart to get the maximum benefit. If the skin laxity is quite severe, you may need a third treatment a month later. To maintain the results, get a single treatment every 3 months or the full course every 6 months.
What areas of my body can be treated with Profhilo?
As an injectable skin remodelling treatment, any area of the body can be treated. The commonest areas treated are the neck, decollete, abdomen, hands, and arms.
Profhilo is a unique hyaluronic acid product injected directly into your skin to reveal radiant skin. Although our skin naturally contains high levels of hyaluronic acid, this declines as we age. Profhilo helps to restore the natural balance and give you dewy, glowing skin.
