Profhilo is a patented technology which softens fine lines, tightens skin and gives overall facial rejuvenation. 

It does not plump or add volume unlike  fillers. Instead, it restores the naturally occurring hylauronic acid that has been lost with age and produces excellent natural looking results.

It is the first BDDE free, stabilised injectable hylauranic acid (HA) based product for treating skin laxity, unlike that used in dermal fillers and Botox.

With one of the highest concentrations of HA it is not only boosting and hydrating the skin but also remodels the ageing and sagging tissue.

Profhilo lasts in the skin around 28 days. During this time the stimulation of 4 different types of collagen and elastin takes place by slow release of HA. The stimulation results in significant tissue improvement. 

The treatment is done in two stages, one treatment and then a second 4 weeks later. We recommend treatments every 4 months.

How is Profhilo® administered?

Profhilo works in a course of 2 or 3 treatments, 4 weeks apart. On the face, only 5 injection points are necessary on each side of the face to give maximum results.

Profhilo acts as a hydrator rather than a filler. It is injected just under the surface of the skin, where it disperses quickly (due to the lack of BDDE cross-linking agent) and reacts with your own tissues to instantly boost hydration. Over the following 4 weeks, phase 2 will boost collagen and elastin production within the dermis. This helps to give the skin a youthful, plump, smooth and firm appearance.

Profhilo can be used as a stand-alone treatment or in conjunction with other dermal fillers, laser treatments or Botox as part of a holistic approach to skin remodelling and revitalisation.

Is there any downtime?

There is no downtime with profhilo. However, it’s advisable to avoid alcohol, aspirin or anti-inflammatory medication in the 24 hours prior to the treatment. Vitamin C and Vitamin E can also increase the likelihood of bruising, but it is fine to use 48 hours after.

Immediately afterwards, it’s important to avoid wearing make-up and strenuous exercise such as going to the gym, swimming or extreme sports and hot steam rooms and saunas for at least 24 hours.

Are there any risks or side-effects?

There are no long-term side-effects with Profhilo as it is metabolised by the body completely. The risk of any allergic reaction is substantially reduced due to the lack of any synthetic chemicals such as BDDE.

Some people can experience some redness, slight bruising, tenderness and possible itching at the injection sites, but these will subside in a few hours to a day and is totally natural.

How long do results from Profhilo last?

Results from Profhilo can last anything from 6 to 12 months, depending on your individual reaction and metabolism of the product.
