Profhilo® treatments effectively stimulate the reproduction and replenishment of new collagen in the skin by slowly releasing hyaluronic acid - a natural substance produced by your body which is critical for skin hydration and nutrition. Unlike other treatments, Profhilo® doesn’t mask the imperfections, but instead gets to the core of remedying them by actively stimulating and encouraging your body to produce collagen and elastin

Profhilo®  treatments are among the most safe remodelling treatments available owing to the fact that  Profhilo®  is very biocompatible as it is not mixed with other chemical agents and is made from an acid that is naturally produced and stabilised by our bodies anyway. It carries a high concentration of hyaluronic acid, which means it bears little risk, if any to those that have the treatment. 

This specific treatment is not available under the name of something else, so it is worth avoiding duplicate versions of  Profhilo® treatments.  Profhilo®  is a patented technology which the unique chains of hyaluronic acid each containing varied molecular weights, meaning the treatment itself is very specific and designed to replicate the unique structure of the natural product. This intricate and approved design is likely far safer than duplicate treatments, so always look for the official  Profhilo®  treatment.  

Profhilo® skin treatments are most commonly undertaken by men and women over the age of 30 suffering from saggy skin, wrinkles, and dehydrated, dull or sunken skin. This typically happens when the hyaluronic acid, collagen and elastin that our bodies produce when we are younger begins to disappear as we age, leaving aging skin looking tired, saggy and creased. Many adults feel self-conscious about these changes, especially when they are premature, and seek cosmetic procedures, like   Profhilo®   skin injections. 

There is no upper age limit for this treatment and it is suitable for reversing and repairing many ageing symptoms. However, it is worth noting that for clients over the age of 60 suffering from more severe aging, the treatment may be either less effective or better when combined with various other treatments. This is largely due to elderly skin having deeper folds to penetrate. 

During  Profhilo® treatment, your desired body part will be injected with roughly 2ml of hyaluronic acid-based treatment in around five places. This is injected just below the skin layer where it quickly disperses and spreads throughout the skin, providing instant hydration. The treatment is typically administered over the course of two sessions, within a period of one month.

Once the initial two sessions are finished to complete the treatment, you may want to top up the treatment every 6 months as this is when the results begin to wear off. This is something that, again, it is best to discuss during your initial consultation and when drawing up a comprehensive treatment plan. 

Prior to having Profhilo®  skin treatments, you are advised to refrain from indulging in alcoholic drinks for at least 24 hours before the procedure begins. You are also strongly advised against taking aspirin or anti-inflammatory medication, unless these are necessary to treat chronic medical conditions. A decision during the consultation will be made regards provide numbing cream to prevent any pain being felt by you, so any further painkillers are unnecessary. Taking these might increase the possibility of temporary bruising. 

When asked, your consultant should provide a more detailed list of pre-treatment requests to ensure you are fully prepared.
