Profhilo®

HA is produced naturally within one’s body and is responsible for holding your skin together like scaffolding on a building. Over time, with age, one’s body produces less and less HA naturally, leading to skin sagging, dullness, lines, and wrinkles. Profhilo® has been designed to hydrate and replenish your skin rather than act like a dermal filler which is used to augment certain features of the face. Profhilo® ‘remodels’ the skin rather than ‘filling’ it. The series of HA injections encourages the production of elastane and collagen which continues to disperse over the course of a few weeks post-treatment meaning your skin continues to look more youthful with improved laxity (reduction in sagging) over time.

Initially, for first-time Profhilo® patients, 2-3 treatments (depending on the condition of your skin) with minimum intervals of 4 weeks are recommended. Once the desired results have been achieved, the treatment can last up to 6 months and can be repeated as desired thereafter.

Profhilo® is an ideal treatment for both women and men in their 30s who are starting to experience the first signs of skin sagging, dullness, lines, and wrinkles. Early to mid-30s is considered the optimal age to begin Profhilo® treatment to allow for the preservation of your youthful appearance. Profhilo® is also suitable for patients above 30s and patients who have already had surgical or non-surgical interventions in the past. Older people are more likely to notice a remarkable difference to their skin post-Profhilo® treatment, although they may be recommended more frequent treatments to achieve a desired look and feel which can then be maintained less frequently.

In some cases of advanced ageing or depending on the desired look to be achieved, Profhilo® can be used in conjunction with muscle relaxants and dermal fillers.

Profhilo® does not present any additional risks compared to other injectable treatments such as bruising, swelling, allergic reaction, infection, nerve damage, and vascular compromise. Risks are mitigated by choosing an experienced practitioner with medical qualifications and a background working in a medical capacity, such as a nurse or doctor.
