What is Profhilo®?
Profhilo® is a ‘beneath the skin’ hyaluronic acid moisturising treatment made with the patented NAHYCO® technology and unlike dermal fillers it is not designed to add volume to the skin or restrict movement in the facial muscles. Instead, this anti-ageing hydration treatment contains high levels of hyaluronic acid (HA), a naturally occurring compound which helps improve tone, texture and elasticity. When injected into skin, Profhilo® stimulates the skin cell receptors to counteract skin laxity and improve and restore firmness of the skin. One of the highest concentrations of hyaluronic acid on the market, Profhilo® not only boosts and hydrates the skin but also remodels ageing and sagging tissue. The treatment is suitable for men and women as well as offering skin benefits for patients of all ages. Profhilo® dramatically improves skin quality and appearance reducing fine lines and hydrating the skin from the inside out. What makes Profhilo® different from competing products is the high concentration of Hyaluronic acid, a key ingredient for producing healthier, radiant skin. The formula disperses across the whole mid and lower face hydrate the skin and trigger collagen and elastin production. Profhilo® is a bio-rejuvenator, bio-revitalise and tissue stimulator.
Who is Profhilo for?
As we age, the presence of hyaluronic acid in the skin naturally starts to drop, which causes the skin to lose its natural firmness and elasticity. Most people begin to see the effects of hyaluronic acid depletion as they reach their 30s and Profhilo® is the perfect treatment for anyone looking to counteract this. Treatment is for those looking for an overall improvement in skin quality or those wishing to treat crepey skin on the face and neck. Top beauty editors have described Profhilo® as the world’s greatest moisturiser for the glowing skin it produces due to increased collagen levels
Where can Profhilo be used?
Profhilo® is usually administered into the skin in five key areas (when administered to the face): the tops of cheeks, side of the face, lines around the mouth, nasolabial folds and laughter lines. The most common areas of treatment include the face and neck and can also be used for the décolletage, hands, arms, knees and abdomen area where it would effectively treat skin laxity
How Does Profhilo® Work?
Ultra pure hyaluronic acid is precisely injected into the area being treated. Unlike wrinkle reducing and dermal filler treatments, Profhilo® stimulates collagen and elastin, attracting water in the deeper layers of the skin
As a stabilised product, the activity on dermal cells will last longer than that of a non-stabilised gel. During this time the stimulation of four different types of collagen and elastin takes place by slow release of hyaluronic acid
The stimulation results in significant tissue improvement. Therefore we cannot say that Profhilo® is a skin booster as it also has a significant tightening/lifting effect on the tissue
Is Profhilo® a dermal filler?
Profhilo® is not the same as a dermal filler
Although both contain hyaluronic acid, Profhilo® does not have the same thick viscosity as a dermal filler. In contrast, Profhilo® is a water-like gel with a similar constancy to honey and is injected in small amounts across the face. It spreads beneath your skin, stimulating collagen and elastin to improve skin tone, texture, and elasticity. The result is an overall more youthful, hydrated, glowing complexion
Profhilo® will enhance an entire area rather than fill one specific line or fold like a dermal filler. Profhilo® can flow freely through the deep skin layers in a way that dermal fillers cannot, and it won’t produce lumps and bumps. Profhilo® is an excellent product for areas like the neck, hands, or arms where fillers are generally not used
