Have you ever looked in the mirror and wished you could turn back the clock on your skin? Well, put down that time machine because the secret to youthful, radiant skin is here, and it’s called Profhilo! Among the many skin rejuvenating options available nowadays, Profhilo has emerged as a breakthrough treatment that is gaining significant attention in the beauty industry. This injectable treatment is a skin booster that not only hydrates and rejuvenates your skin but also stimulates collagen and elastin production from within.
Profhilo is an innovative injectable treatment that is designed to hydrate, rejuvenate, and remodel the skin from within. Unlike traditional dermal fillers that focus on adding volume to specific areas, Profhilo is a skin booster that works by stimulating the production of collagen and elastin, the two essential proteins responsible for maintaining skin’s firmness and elasticity.
The key ingredient in Profhilo is stabilised hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in our body that plays a crucial role in keeping the skin hydrated and plump. Profhilo’s unique formulation allows the hyaluronic acid to be released slowly into the skin, providing sustained hydration and promoting the regeneration of skin cells.
Profhilo’s technology lies in its ability to stimulate the production of collagen and elastin in the skin. The stabilised hyaluronic acid in Profhilo is cross-linked in a way that allows it to maintain its structure and integrity for longer periods. Once injected into the skin, Profhilo creates a moisture reservoir that slowly releases hyaluronic acid over the course of 28 days.
As the hyaluronic acid is gradually absorbed by the skin, it stimulates the fibroblasts, the cells responsible for producing collagen and elastin. This process leads to a significant improvement in skin quality, as the increased collagen and elastin production results in firmer, smoother, and more youthful-looking skin.
Moreover, hyaluronic acid has an incredible capacity to attract and retain moisture. A single molecule of hyaluronic acid can hold up to 1,000 times its weight in water. By providing the skin with this extra hydration, Profhilo helps to plump up the skin, reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and enhance overall skin radiance.
Profhilo offers a multitude of benefits for those seeking to improve their skin’s appearance and health. Some of the key advantages of Profhilo treatment include:
If you’ve decided to get Profhilo, proper preparation is key to ensuring a smooth and successful treatment process. Before your Profhilo treatment, there are certain steps you can take to minimise the risk of complications and optimise your results. Dr Dalia will provide you with specific pre-treatment instructions, which may include:
Before your Profhilo treatment, you will have a consultation with Dr Dalia to discuss your skin concerns, medical history, and treatment goals. During this consultation, Dr Dalia will:
This consultation is an essential step in ensuring that Profhilo is a safe and appropriate treatment option for you and that you have realistic expectations about the results.
The Profhilo treatment itself is a relatively quick and comfortable process. Dr Dalia will identify specific injection points on your face, typically five on each side, to ensure an even distribution of the product. Using a fine needle, Profhilo is injected into the skin at these points, with the entire procedure taking around 30 minutes.
After the treatment, you may experience some mild redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection sites, but these side effects typically subside within a few hours to a day. There is minimal downtime associated with Profhilo, and you can resume your normal activities immediately after the treatment.
For optimal results, it is recommended to have two Profhilo treatments, spaced four to six weeks apart. The effects of Profhilo can last up to six months, after which maintenance treatments can be scheduled to sustain the results.
After your Profhilo treatment, Dr Dalia will provide you with specific post-treatment care instructions to help you manage any side effects and promote optimal healing. These may include:
While Profhilo is often compared to traditional dermal fillers, it is essential to understand that they serve different purposes. Dermal fillers are designed to add volume to specific areas of the face, such as the cheeks, lips, or nasolabial folds. They are ideal for targeting deep wrinkles, restoring lost volume, and enhancing facial contours.
On the other hand, Profhilo is a skin booster that focuses on improving overall skin quality and hydration. It does not add volume to specific areas but instead works to rejuvenate the skin from within, promoting collagen and elastin production for a more youthful and radiant appearance.
Profhilo also differs from traditional skin boosters in its formulation and technology. While skin boosters also contain hyaluronic acid, they typically have a lower concentration and are not cross-linked in the same way as Profhilo. This means that Profhilo provides longer-lasting results and a more significant improvement in skin quality.
It is worth noting that Profhilo can be combined with other aesthetic treatments to achieve optimal results. For example, Profhilo can be used in conjunction with dermal fillers to address both volume loss and skin quality concerns. It can also be paired with treatments such as laser resurfacing or microneedling to further enhance skin texture and radiance.
Here’s a table comparing Profhilo with other aesthetic treatments:
| Treatment | Purpose | Procedure | Results |
|---|---|---|---|
| Profhilo | Skin rejuvenation and hydration | Injectable skin booster that stimulates collagen and elastin production | Improves skin quality, firmness, and radiance; reduces fine lines and wrinkles |
| Dermal Fillers | Volume restoration and enhancement | Injectable gel that adds volume to specific areas of the face | Restores lost volume, smooths deep wrinkles, and enhances facial contours |
| Skin Boosters | Skin hydration and rejuvenation | Injectable hyaluronic acid that hydrates the skin | Improves skin hydration and texture, but with less significant results compared to Profhilo |
| Laser Resurfacing | Skin texture improvement and collagen stimulation | Laser energy is used to remove damaged skin layers and stimulate collagen production | Improves skin texture, reduces wrinkles and pigmentation, and promotes collagen growth |
| Microneedling | Collagen induction and skin texture improvement | Tiny needles create micro-injuries in the skin to stimulate collagen production | Improves skin texture, reduces fine lines and scars, and enhances product absorption |
While each treatment has its unique benefits, Profhilo stands out for its ability to provide both skin rejuvenation and hydration by stimulating collagen and elastin production from within. It is important to note that these treatments can be used in combination with Profhilo to achieve optimal results, depending on individual skin concerns and goals.
Profhilo is suitable for individuals of various ages and skin types who are looking to improve their skin’s hydration, firmness, and overall appearance. It is particularly beneficial for those with signs of ageing, such as fine lines, wrinkles, and loss of elasticity.
While Profhilo is generally safe and well-tolerated, there are certain contraindications and precautions to consider. Profhilo may not be suitable for individuals with a history of allergies to hyaluronic acid or those with active skin infections or inflammation.
