Profhilo

Profhilo by HA Derma works by slowly releasing Hyaluronic Acid under the skin’s surface, triggering the production of collagen and elastin. It addresses issues such as skin laxity and poor hydration and is a great treatment of choice for those patients who wish to avoid synthetics.

Profhilo uses thermal cross-linking to stimulate four different types of collagen and elastin by the slow release of hyaluronic acid (HA), which is key to skin rejuvenation and younger-looking skin.

This production of collagen can significantly help in tightening and hydrating the skin, remodelling ageing and sagging tissue.

Unlike dermal fillers it has no synthetic cross linking chemicals but a higher concentration of hyaluronic acid, hence often likened to an ‘injectable mosturiser’. Whilst it doesn’t give volume lift or volume replacement, it does create volume in tissue where it is most needed due to its high spreadability. Hence it can be used on many areas of the body including the face, neck, decolletage, neck, hands, and legs – wherever you would like to improve the skin quality and reduce wrinkles.

With effects lasting for up to six months patients can expect firmer skin and a healthy, youthful glow.

It produces a boost in hydration and generally improved quality of skin health, with a clearer, brighter complexion and reduced fine lines.

The best results will be noticed around eight weeks post-treatment, as the hyaluronic acid kicks starts the skin’s collagen production with visible results, although this can vary from patient-to-patient.

Profhilo works for most ages and skin types. It can be used in younger people as a preventative to ensure that skin remains healthy and hydrated, and in older patients to help reintroduce that youthful glow.

Profhilo is an incredibly safe product to use thanks to its lack of synthetic cross-linking chemicals, however, as with any injectable, there can be a risk of bruising.

Patients may experience some bumps or small swelling at the injection points, though these should disappear within a couple of hours of treatment (for some patients this may last up to 24 hours depending on the laxity of the skin).

As with dermal filler treatment to the face it is advisable to avoid exercise for the next 48 hours and to avoid touching the face or applying makeup until the following day.
