What Is Profhilo Treatment?

Do you feel that your skin begins to give way? Or do you observe the first signs of aging, while still feeling young and fit inside? After age thirty, the amount of collagen and elastin your skin produces decreases, but that doesn't mean you're immediately ready for injectables that add volume to your face.

 

Profhilo skin treatments are non-surgical procedures commonly applied to the face, neck, breasts, or hands to reshape, revitalize, and rejuvenate aging skin. Invented in Italy, the treatment quickly gained traction in the UK in 2015 and has been popular ever since, with consultants, beauticians, and therapists offering Profhilo as part of their portfolio.

Profhilo treatment is different from other dermal fillers despite being injectable. This is because the human body metabolizes the hyaluronic acid used in Profhilo and they work together in a consistent way, promoting the production of natural collagen and elastin. Essentially, Profhilo's skin injections seek to replace and renew the hyaluronic acid produced in young bodies to give the illusion of younger, reshaped skin. It is generally highly regarded as a good tool for correcting skin laxity, provided it is administered by a reputable and qualified physician.

How does Profhilo work?

The product contains one of the highest concentrations of hyaluronic acid on the market, but it is not a dermal filler or a wrinkle relaxation injection.

Instead, Profhilo could be better described as a "bio-remodeler" in the sense that it stimulates the natural healing processes within your body. The treatment works in two phases, moisturizing the skin and then stimulating the production of new collagen and elastin.

As you may already know, HA is a natural substance in our skin, joints, and connective tissues. It contains 1000 times its weight in water and its main functions are to retain and bind moisture to the skin and to help collagen production. This is what Profhilo takes advantage of.

 

What Can Profhilo Be Used to Treat?

Profhilo has strong anti-aging and skin rejuvenating properties. The cohesive, gel-like consistency means that areas that are difficult to treat with most fillers, such as the forehead, knees, and hands, can be easily treated with Profhilo. Through a clinically proven application of Bio Aesthetic Point, the BAP technique, 5 specific injections are applied to each side of the face to achieve the following effects:

 

• Reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles around the nose, mouth and eyes

• Lifting and rejuvenation of the cheeks by hydrating and plumping the skin

• Lifting and tightening of the double chin

• Tightening of the thin, sagging skin on the neck

• Tightening of the skin of the face as a whole

 

How long does Profhilo take to work?

We recommend 2 treatment sessions 4-6 weeks apart. After that, your skin will appear more hydrated, smoother, and youthful-looking,” says Dr. Maryam Zamani. 'Many people begin to see an improvement in their skin within a week of their treatment. However, real results won't start to show until you're at the 4–6-week mark, as this is how long it takes for the body to start producing collagen and elastin, which is what really makes a difference in terms of results and what you see on the surface.
