What is Profhilo and What Can it do For You?

 

What IS Profhilo? Not fillers, not anti-wrinkle injections or Botox, Profhilo is a whole different ball game. Profhilo’s been something of a secret weapon amongst beauty insiders and glossy magazine editors for some time. However, now more and more of us are discovering Profhilo’s many benefits.

What is Profhilo?

Profhilo is an award-winning injectable hyaluronic acid treatment. Perhaps you already know of hyaluronic acid as a skincare hero, a wonder ingredient? Injectable fillers also use hyaluronic acid, which is a molecule occurring naturally in the skin. The benefits of hyaluronic acid are many and thought to include:

• Amazing moisture retention properties
• Deep hydration
• Wrinkle and fine line reduction
• Increased skin firmness
• Improved skin suppleness
• Promotion of healing and repair
• Antioxidant properties
• Suitability for all skin types

In moisturisers, anti-ageing creams and serums, non-greasy hyaluronic acid helps to improve the skin’s appearance, even helping to tighten the skin. Profhilo hydrates from the INSIDE and behaves almost like an internal scaffolding for the skin. Vitally though, and unlike ANY other anti-ageing tweaks, Profhilo also sparks a reaction in the tissue, which is called ‘bio-remodelling’. Bio-remodelling? What, now?

Bye Saggy Skin, Hello Bio-Remodelling

The bio-remodelling process triggers the skin to create lots of new collagen and elastin, which then seems to generate even MORE new collagen and elastin production. Collagen and elastin are the proteins in the skin which are responsible for youthful-looking, tighter and brighter skin. Moreover, they are also essential for HEALTHY skin. Rather excitingly, research has shown, the more collagen you have, the more you can produce and maintain. It’s like a skin-rejuvenation snowball effect!

The effect this has is almost miraculous. Skin appears smoother and tighter but also seems to regain that elusive, eternally sought-after GLOW.

What Does Profhilo DO?

Profhilo isn’t just a substitute for fillers and Botox. Sure, some patients are so thrilled with their results that they’re happy to forgo other treatments. However, Profhilo also works well in conjunction with fillers and anti-wrinkle injections. Profhilo works on the skin’s CONDITION. This is different to Botox, which prevents the crease-inducing muscle movements, or fillers, which treat loss of volume.

With patients reporting SOOOOO many benefits, is this the miracle anti-ageing treatment we’ve all been waiting for? Well, I couldn’t possibly say BUT these are just some of the things we’re hearing about Profhilo:

• Promotes radiance
• Corrects crepey skin texture
• Smooths wrinkles
• Encourages skin rejuvenation
• Reduces sagging
• Helps tighten skin

How does Profhilo work?

Profhilo is formulated from an extraordinarily pure synthetic hyaluronic acid. Lighter in texture than hyaluronic acid in dermal fillers, it’s injected into the upper layers of the skin with a very small needle. The thinner consistency means it readily disperses into the skin, which means it can begin its supportive scaffolding action on the tissues, hydrate and start the bio-remodelling process.

Results are impressive though not instant. Profhilo is a two-stage treatment, with a few weeks between jabs. The best, full results show after the second session. However, you may see some improvement even after that first session.

Beauty journalist, Olivia Falcon, sang Profhilo’s praises. She compared the skin to a bed. With Profhilo, you’re not merely ‘plumping up the pillows’ as you would with fillers. Instead, you’re improving the quality and smoothness of the skin. You’re even ‘increasing the thread count of the sheets’. And we all love our high thread-count, Egyptian cotton sheets, don’t we?

Should I Have Treatment?

Downtime is minimal, if there’s any at all. The injection sites may be slightly raised, like teeny-tiny bumps. Don’t worry, these soon disappear. They usually last no more than a day at worst. Profhilo’s pure-grade hyaluronic acid has no nasties added. It’s highly biocompatible with the skin, so the risk of side effects is negligible.
