How does Profhilo Work? 

Unlike Dermal Fillers, Profhilo does not add volume, think of it more as a huge boost of hydration from within. This injectable treatment has a very high concentration of HA which is injected into the skin through five different key points on each side of the face. A unique aesthetic treatment, Profhilo works in stages which requires two treatments with a four-week interval. You will see results instantly after the second treatment. Profhilo remains in the skin for around 28 days after, working hard to stimulate four different types of collagen and elastin as it slowly releases hyaluronic acid. Within the first few weeks you will see intense hydration, smoother and tighter skin and a glowing complexion. 

Why choose Profhilo

We start losing a significant amount of collagen, elastin and Hyaluronic Acid after we reach 30, which means we start to see the signs of ageing in the form of fine lines, wrinkles and slightly lack-lustre skin. At this age, we should start to consider preserving ourselves, therefore Profhilo is advised for individuals from around the age of 30 upwards, who wish to target ageing skin.

Profhilo is also an excellent choice for you if you don’t want to add volume to specific areas (if this is the case, it is more likely that dermal fillers or Amino Acids such as Jalupro or Sunekos would be the right treatment for you), as it instead provides volume and hydration across the skin, giving an overall rejuvenated appearance.

There is no age upper limit either. In fact, in older patients, we have often seen more dramatic results. However, if you’re over 60 your treatment does need to be managed carefully – for example, if there are deep folds present or the skin has lost elasticity, then combination treatments that include Profhilo may be more suitable. This is why consultation prior to treatment is so important!

If you’re looking for very subtle results, this treatment delivers. However, if you’re looking for a lifting of the face, neck or any other area, then a combination approach with fillers, threads or surgery could be recommended.

Where can Profhilo be used?

Profhilo® is most commonly used for facial areas, but can also effectively be used for rejuvenating the neck, decollete, arms, knees and hands. Increasingly, the neck is becoming a popular area to have Profhilo®, due to its ability to help reduce crepe-like skin and sagginess, and encourage a firmer appearance.

What is the difference between Profhilo and Dermal Fillers?

Due to the way that Profhilo is formulated, it is not a volumising treatment in the same way that dermal fillers are, and is not used to enhance specific areas of the face (e.g. lips, cheeks, chin).  Profhilo® is primarily a hydrating treatment, and the Hyaluronic Acid it contains is dispersed evenly throughout the face, giving your skin a more plump and firm look overall.

Profhilo aftercare

You can have Profhilo treatment and continue with your day to day activities. However, we  do advise you avoid wearing make-up, except for Youngblood mineral make up, which we can apply in clinic after your treatment.

We also recommend that you do not go to the gym, sauna, steam-room or go swimming on the same day as treatment. You should also avoid touching the injection site.
