Profhilo is an innovative skin remodelling treatment that works to restore skin laxity and texture by stimulating collagen and elastin production to unearth a naturally refreshed and youthful glow. It is highly accomplished in treating not only the face, but also the neck, décolletage, hands and even the arms, knees and abdomen where skin lacks firmness.
As the regeneration of collagen slows as we age, the skin begins to languish showing visible signs of ageing such as; sagging, dehydration, fine lines and wrinkles or a dull complexion.
Profhilo’s high concentration of hyaluronic acid activates the generation of collagen within the skin and its surrounding structures to plump, soften, smooth and hydrate with skin appearing more supple, taught, firm and healthy. The unique make-up of Profhilo means that it gradually disperses within the skin and works over time, as opposed dermal fillers whereby they add volume to a specific area and stay put. And so Profhilo is often preferable to largely rejuvenate, to target overall skin health and to reduce the appearance of fine lines.
Profhilo entails a number of small injections around the treatment area and continues to work over a number of weeks. A subsequent treatment at around 4 weeks is required to complete the course in order for its results to work effectively. Your Aesthetics practitioner may advise further treatments if required.
