An injectable skin remodelling treatment containing very high concentrations of ultra pure Hyaluronic Acid. Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance produced in our body, found in skin, joints and other connective tissue. Its role is to retain moisture in the body and aid collagen production. It can hold 1000 times its weight in water which makes it ideal for binding moisture in the skin.
Due to its gel like consistency Profhilo distributes smoothly and evenly without the formation of any lumps – a potential risk with traditional fillers. This means it can be used on areas which are difficult to treat with traditional fillers, such as the neck and forehead. It is injected just underneath the surface of the skin where it disperses quickly and reacts with your own tissue to instantly boost hydration. Over the next four weeks phase two kick in as it goes to work boosting elastin and collagen production. This effectively remodels the skin and giving it a plumper, smoother and firmer appearance.
The full treatment consists of two sessions, one month apart. A further session may be recommended after approximately six months in order to prolong the effect. Profhilo can be used on its own or in conjunction with other fillers, wrinkle treatments, laser treatments or as a complementary, rather than a competitive treatment.
No allergy test is required prior to treatment. The risk of allergic reactions is substantially reduced because Profhilo does not contain any synthetic chemicals which some people might react to. Some people may experience redness, slight bruising, tenderness as well as itching at the injection sites but these are temporary and should resolve within a few hours to a day. As with any procedure, it is important to find an experienced and qualified practitioner to carry out the treatment.
An injectable, biocompatible treatment that can be used on the face, neck, under eyes, scalp, and body to stimulate your skin to produce new collagen and elastin.
Polynucleotides originate from freshwater fish. They work by promoting hydration, increasing the number of viable fibroblasts and elastin fibres, and increasing collagen synthesis. This helps to create a natural, healthy glow to the skin.
Usually, a course of 2 or 3 treatments carried out 2/3 weeks apart is required. Results can last up to 12 months, although this is different for each patient.
Pain or stinging during treatment, although this is reduced with the use of numbing creams, swelling, redness or bruising can occur, but these are transient and usually resolve within a few days.
