Profhilo® Treatment

It is the first BDDE-free stabilised injectable hyaluronic acid (HA) based product for treatment of skin laxity.

This is a revolutionary and award-winning skin laxity treatment that remodels and boosts the skin on the neck, face, or decollete. With one of the highest concentrations of HA on the market (64mg / 2ml), it not only hydrates and boosts the skin but also remodels the sagging and aging tissue. Profhilo is not a dermal filler, but a new technology completely. Profhilo is injected across 10 points on the face, neck, or decollete and spreads underneath the skin to improve skin hydration, texture, tone and radiance.

How Does Profhilo Work?

To understand how Profhilo works, you first need to understand what hyaluronic acid is and why it’s important to the look and feel of your skin. It’s a naturally occurring substance found in our skin, joints, and connective tissue. The role of hyaluronic acid is to help bind moisture in the skin and also help in the production of collagen and elastin.

As people get older, their bodies produce less and less hyaluronic acid, which is what causes your skin to age. The lack of hyaluronic acid production leads to a lack of skin hydration and skin laxity, which in turn leads to the formation of wrinkles in your skin.

Profhilo is a treatment that contains a very high concentration of hyaluronic acid, the most of any other available skin treatment. However, Profhilo is not a traditional skin filler. Since the development process doesn’t chemically bond, rather, thermally, it acts as more of a super-hydrater than a filler.

Profhilo has the consistency of a gel-like substance, which enables it to be distributed very smoothly and evenly throughout the skin, unlike traditional fillers that have a tendency to form lumps in the skin. Because of this, Profhilo can be used on areas of the body that fillers can’t treat, such as the decollete, neck, and even forehead.

What Profhilo does is stimulate the reproduction of new collagen and elastin through the release of hyaluronic acid. This is essentially what makes Profhilo different, and in the eyes of many, superior, to other skin treatments. The purpose of Profhilo is not to cover up or hide skin imperfections. Profhilo can actually remedy these imperfections by stimulating the natural production of collagen and elastin. Profhilo is all about skin tone texture hydration and improving skin laxity.

Where is Profhilo Injection sites?

As mentioned above there are a total of 10 injection sites in the process of administering Profhilo. Strategically, five injection points are on one side of the face and five are on the other. Using this technique, means the treatment is able to focus on areas of the skin which are the most weathered and damaged. These are the five locations of the Profhilo injection points:

- Tragus (in line with the ear lobe)
- Zygomatic Protrusion (the cheekbone)
- The Chin
- Mandibular Angle (jawline)

We can assure you that despite the fact that there are 10 injections being used in a Profhilo treatment, the clinical tests have shown that this treatment is one of the safest, anatomically speaking, as it makes sure to avoid all nerves and large vessels located in these areas of the face.

Who Is This Treatment Recommended For?

Most people who are interested in the Profhilo treatment tend to be over the age of 30. Of course, both men and women undergo this treatment if they want to improve sagging skin and get rid of wrinkles while hydrating their skin and making it look more youthful.

If you are an adult that is feeling self-conscious about your skin starting to age prematurely, you could be a good candidate to seek out the Profhilo skin treatment. It’s also important to note that there is no upper age limit for receiving Profhilo treatments. However, it should also be noted that the treatment is usually less effective for people over the age of 60 who suffer from more severe aging. The skin of elderly people has deeper folds that need to be penetrated, which is why for the best results, they might have to combine Profhilo with other types of skin treatments.

What Results Can I Expect?
