Profhilo
Profhilo
Profhilo is an advanced injectable skin treatment designed to combat skin laxity and restore hydration and elasticity. It’s a type of bio-remodelling treatment that uses high concentrations of hyaluronic acid (HA) to improve the overall quality of the skin, rather than simply filling wrinkles or adding volume.
How Profhilo Works:
- Profhilo is made of a stabilised form of hyaluronic acid, which is injected into the skin in specific areas (usually the face, neck, or hands). Unlike dermal fillers, which are injected to add volume or fill lines, Profhilo works by stimulating the skin’s natural processes to improve hydration, skin texture, and elasticity. The hyaluronic acid in Profhilo has a unique ability to spread across the skin, stimulating collagen and elastin production, which helps the skin look firmer and more youthful.
Benefits of Profhilo:
- Improved Skin Hydration: Profhilo deeply hydrates the skin from within, helping to restore a fresh, radiant glow.
- Enhanced Skin Quality: It improves skin texture, smoothness, and elasticity by stimulating the production of collagen and elastin.
- Reduction in Laxity: It helps to tighten and lift loose or sagging skin, especially in areas prone to aging, such as the face, neck, and décolletage.
- Non-Surgical: Unlike facelifts or other invasive procedures, Profhilo is a non-surgical treatment with minimal downtime.
The Treatment Process:
- Profhilo is typically administered in two sessions, spaced about 4 weeks apart. During each session, small amounts of Profhilo are injected into specific areas of the skin using a series of fine needles. The injections are virtually painless, and there’s minimal downtime, with most clients returning to their normal activities immediately after the treatment. The results usually become noticeable within a few days, with full effects seen in 4 to 6 weeks. The results can last anywhere from 6 to 12 months, depending on individual skin conditions and lifestyle.
- Profhilo is particularly effective for individuals looking to rejuvenate their skin without undergoing more invasive procedures, offering a natural, youthful glow and improved skin health.
Treatment Process of Profhilo
- 1. Consultation: The Profhilo treatment begins with a thorough consultation where I will assess your skin condition, discuss your aesthetic goals, and determine if Profhilo is the right treatment for you. During this consultation, I’ll explain the process, the expected results, and address any concerns you may have. I will also review your medical history to ensure the treatment is safe for you.
- 2. Preparation: On the day of the treatment, I will cleanse your skin to remove any dirt or makeup. Although the procedure is relatively painless, a topical numbing cream can be applied to the treatment area to enhance comfort during the injections.
- 3. The Injections: Profhilo is typically injected into specific areas of the face, neck, or hands using a series of small, fine needles. The injections are strategically placed in areas where the skin is showing signs of laxity, dehydration, or aging, such as around the cheeks, jawline, neck, and décolletage. Profhilo is designed to spread evenly beneath the skin, stimulating collagen and elastin production over time. The process typically takes about 30 to 45 minutes, depending on the number of areas being treated.
- 4. Post-Treatment Care: After the injections, you may experience some mild redness, swelling, or small bumps at the injection sites, which should subside within a few hours. You can return to your daily activities right away, but I recommend avoiding strenuous exercise, excessive sun exposure, and touching or massaging the treated areas for the first 24-48 hours. There’s minimal downtime, and any discomfort after the procedure is generally mild and temporary.
- 5. Results & Follow-Up: Profhilo’s effects begin to show in the days following the treatment, with full results visible around 4 to 6 weeks. The treatment improves hydration, skin texture, elasticity, and overall skin quality. Typically, two sessions are recommended, spaced about 4 weeks apart, for optimal results. The effects can last anywhere from 6 to 12 months, after which you can opt for maintenance treatments to sustain the results.
- Profhilo provides a non-invasive way to rejuvenate your skin, enhancing its appearance and quality with minimal downtime and a natural, youthful glow.
Profhilo Aftercare Instructions
- After your Profhilo treatment, it’s important to follow proper aftercare guidelines to ensure optimal results and minimise any potential side effects. Here are the key aftercare instructions:
- 1. Avoid Touching or Rubbing the Treated Areas: Do not touch, rub, or massage the treated areas for at least 24 hours after the treatment. This helps prevent irritation and ensures the product settles evenly beneath the skin.
- 2. No Makeup for 24 Hours: To reduce the risk of infection, avoid applying makeup to the treated areas for the first 24 hours after the procedure. Allow your skin to heal and breathe naturally.
- 3. Avoid Strenuous Exercise: Refrain from any vigorous physical activity or exercise for 24-48 hours post-treatment. Intense sweating can affect the distribution of Profhilo and may cause irritation.
- 4. Stay Away from Heat and Sun Exposure: For at least 48 hours after treatment, avoid hot showers, saunas, steam rooms, or prolonged sun exposure. Excessive heat can cause redness or swelling, and sun exposure may irritate the skin or cause pigmentation issues.
- 5. No Alcohol for 24 Hours: Avoid consuming alcohol for 24 hours following your Profhilo treatment, as it can increase the risk of bruising and swelling.
- 6. Avoid Facial Treatments: Do not undergo any facial treatments (such as facials, microdermabrasion, or chemical peels) for at least two weeks after Profhilo. This allows the product to settle into the skin and provides the best results.
- 7. Keep Hydrated: Drink plenty of water to keep your skin hydrated from the inside. Profhilo works by improving skin hydration, so staying well-hydrated will support its effects.
- 8. Monitor for Side Effects: It is normal to experience mild swelling, redness, or small bumps at the injection sites. These should subside within a few hours to a couple of days. If any persistent or unusual symptoms occur, contact your practitioner.
- 9. Follow-Up Appointment: A follow-up appointment may be recommended to assess the results, especially if you are having two sessions. This appointment ensures you are achieving the desired outcome and allows for any adjustments if needed.
- By following these aftercare instructions, you can help ensure that your Profhilo treatment provides the best possible results while minimising any potential complications.
