Profhilo Skin Strengthening

Treatment Overview

Profhilo skin strengthening utilises a process called ‘Bioremodelling’ which is an innovative approach to anti-aging which counteracts skin laxity of the face and in areas traditionally difficult to treat, such as the neck, décolleté, hands and arms. It uses ULTRAPURE hyaluronic acid in compliance with European and FDA standards.

Profhilo contains one of the highest concentrations of hyaluronic acid and delivers a prolonged efficacy without the addition of cross-linking chemical agents. Profhilo delivers great results as a treatment on its own or in combination with other aesthetics treatments currently on offer. For more information on profhilo skin strengthening contact us.

FAQ

What does Profhilo do?

As a stabilised product Profhilo lasts in the skin around 28 days. During this time the stimulation of 4 different types of collagen and elastin takes place by slow release of HA.

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.

Clinical data confirm improvements in skin texture, elasticity and hydration with an immediate tightening effect.

What are the advantages of Profhilo over other treatments?

In Profhilo, L-HA is released slowly from the HA hybrid complexes and therefore does not trigger the first inflammatory cytokines making it very biocompatible. It also increases patient comfort during and after treatment and provides hydration to the skin especially in the epidermis – the Hydro effect.

H-HA in Profhilo provides a stable HA architecture in the dermis. This gives a volumetric effect – the Lift effect.

Another advantage of the stable co-operative hybrid complex when compared to H-HA and L-HA is the increase in the expression levels of type I and type III collagen in fibroblast and type IV and VII collagen in keratinocytes.

This results in improved skin quality and skin hydration both in the dermis and epidermis. There is also increased production of endogenous HA and elastin giving the skin a more youthful look.

How long does it take to work?

Profhilo treatment is carried out over 2 visits, spaced 4 weeks apart. Results can vary from person to person however after this second visit, you will start to see your optimal results.
