Profhilo®

 

The first of its kind, Profhilo® is a revolutionary 'beneath the skin' hyaluronic acid moisturising treatment, made with the patented NAHYCO® technology. This results in a unique hyaluronic acid injectable gel, which has a prolonged stimulating activity on the dermal cells. When injected into skin, Profhilo stimulates the skin cell receptors to counteract skin laxity and improve and restore firmness of the skin.

​

One of the highest concentrations of hyaluronic acid on the market, Profhilo not only boosts and hydrates the skin, but also remodels ageing and sagging tissue. The most common areas of treatment include the face and neck and can also be used for the décolletage, hands, arms, knees and abdomen area where it would effectively treat skin laxity. The treatment is suitable for men and women as well as offering skin benefits for patients of all ages.

 

How it works

Ultra-pure hyaluronic acid is precisely injected into the area being treated. Unlike wrinkle reducing and dermal filler treatments, Profhilo stimulates collagen and elastin, attracting water in the deeper layers of the skin.

​

As a stabilised product, the activity on dermal cells will last longer than that of a non-stabilised gel. During this time, the stimulation of four different types of collagen and elastin takes place by slow release of hyaluronic acid.

​

The stimulation results in significant tissue improvement. Therefore we cannot say that Profhilo is a skin booster as it also has a significant tightening / lifting effect on the tissue.

​

What to expect

The procedure typically takes around 10 to 30 minutes, is minimally invasive and is carried out by a series of tiny injections under the skin. One course consists of two treatments, a month apart.

 

Results

After a course of Profhilo, you can expect to see more hydrated and luminous skin. The skin will appear smoother and tighter and fine lines may also disappear. The treatment effects usually last up to six months.

 

Recovery time

After treatment, you may experience localised lumps around the sites of injection. These usually subside naturally within 24 hours of treatment. You may also experience swelling and bruising at the injection site, all of which are temporary.
