Profhilo
Profhilo is an innovative injectable anti-ageing treatment that can be used to address sagging skin across the face and neck. It stimulates production of collagen and elastin, vital proteins in the skin that give it elasticity, thereby improving skin laxity. Profhilo is made from Hyaluronic Acid gel, a naturally occurring substance produced in the body, which moisturises the skin. It can be used on the face, decolletage, hands and neck.
Profhilo is effective for treating;
· Loss of volume and skin elasticity
· Fine lines and wrinkles
· Dull or dry skin
Profhilo treats existing wrinkles as well as, encouraging the growth of collagen and elastin to prevent the growth of new wrinkles, effectively remodelling your skin from within.
Technique
Using the Bio Aesthetic Points (BAP) Technique, Profhilo will be slowly injected beneath the skins’ surface. There is minimal pain and reduced risk of bruising or haematoma. The treatment consists of two sessions, 4 weeks apart, with a maintenance treatment every 6-12 months, as required.
Procedure
The procedure generally lasts from 45 - 60 minutes
Downtime
There is minimal downtime. You may have some bumps at the injection sites after treatment, which should resolve after a few hours. We recommend avoiding physical exertion, exercise, make up and alcohol for 24 hours post treatment. Avoid steam rooms, saunas and intense UV or sun exposure for the first few days after your treatment.
Results
Typically results can take 6 weeks to start to see effects. Depending on the indvidual, the effects may last for around 6 months.
