2. Profhilo Bioremodelling
Profhilo is an exclusive skin remodelling treatment that will give you visible results in
just two visits (one month apart).
Profhilo is an excellent alternative to dermal fillers for people wanting to reverse the
signs of skin ageing, with dull or tired looking skin revitalised and rejuvenated with
natural hyaluronic acid that is totally broken down once the rejuvenation has been
stimulated.
This revolutionary new treatment takes just ten minutes, with five injection points into
the mid and lower face. It stimulates four different types of collagen and elastin due to
the slow release of hyaluronic acid, and it is this stimulation that results in significant
improvement of tissue quality.
There is no down-time and mimimal side effects.
3. How does Profhilo Work?
Profhilo is based on IBSA’s patented technology. The hybrid cooperative complexes
generate a dual action, owing to a slow, long-lasting release of high and low molecular
weight Hyaluronic Acid.
Thanks to the unique characteristics of Profhilo, remodelling skin laxity is possible in
just two sessions by injecting into in the superficial subcutaneous layer of the skin.
There’s a one-month interval between each treatment. Profhilo may be injected using
all aesthetic techniques, according to the suggested injection layer.
As well as the face, Profhilo can be used in the neck, décolletage, hands and anywhere
where a tightening effect would be desirable.
4. Exciting Development
Profhilo is creating a real buzz amongst facial aesthetics practitioners currently, with
many referring to it as something they “have been waiting for” or as “the most exciting
development in injectable treatments in a long time”.
It targets the whole of the mid and lower face, which is where the visible signs of
ageing are most pronounced. Unlike dermal fillers that ofeten target the cheeks or
single areas, Profhilo aims to target specific anatomical points in all patients, where
the maximal benefit has been shown to result, therefore eliminatinging the risk of an
unnatural result, with subjects reporting the skin feeling and looking fresher and
tighter within a month.
5. For Younger-Looking, Healthy Skin
Profhilo improves the following in the skin –
skin tightness
skin tone
hydration
radiance
firmness
elasticity
colourToxin and may be best treated with Dermal Fillers.
6. Who is Profhilo for?
This treatment is aimed at patients who have visible signs of ageing skin, therefore it is
most commonly used for people aged between 30 and 60 years of age. Profhilo used in
younger patients will have a more of a preventive effect.
We start losing a significant amount of collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid from our
skin after we reach the age of thirty. At this age, we should start to consider preserving
ourselves. This is the time when many people would consider their first toxin injections
as the first lines start to appear.
In some, the tissue quality has dropped so significantly that they may look older for their
age, however, they may not yet be ready for dermal fillers and may prefer the ‘natural’
rejuvenation offered by Profhilo.
Therefore Profhilo is for anyone with signs of skin ageing who wishes to reverse the
process with increased skin collagen and elastin production.
7. Does the Injection Hurt?
These injections are relatively painless as the injections are performed using a very fine
needle. Patients therefore and do not require any anaesthesia. The full treatment takes
about 15-20 minutes to perform and you are able to drive and go to work the same day.
How Long Do The Effects Last?
It can take about 2-14 days to see the full effects after the initial treatment. The cosmetic
effects can last up to six months but typically range from three to four months.
Eventually most people require re-treatment as the wrinkles reappear. However in some
treated areas (such as frown wrinkles), the wrinkles may return less severe after repeated
treatments as the unconscious muscle contraction habit is broken. We offer all our
patients a free two week follow up appointment to assess the effect of treatment and
administer any top up treatments if necessary.
8. Are there any Side Effects?
Most people find that the injections cause only mild local pain and tenderness.
Immediately after the injection, there may be mild swelling at the injection site
which usually subsides within 48 hours. Slight bruising is also possible. Side effects
of these treatments are extremely rare. Occasionally, the treatment may relax nearby
muscle groups causing temporary drooping of the eyebrow or eyelids. This may last
for a few weeks but will resolve with time. As with any medicine, an allergic
reaction may occur, this is however quite rare. Conversely, there may be some
unintended benefits in some people such as easing of tension-type headaches as the
muscles in the forehead relax.
9. How Often can I have Treatments?
When the effect of the treatment wears off the wrinkles will always return to their pre-
treatment state. Treatments can be repeated to a minimum of three monthly intervals, but
the effects may last longer for some individuals, especially if they have had previous
treatments to the same area.
Will I Still have Expression in my Face?
These treatments are designed to smooth dynamic wrinkles in the forehead and around
eyes, they do not affect your resting facial expression. The final result can be tailored to
each patient and can be discussed at the initial free consultation.
10. What after care Advice should I Follow?
Try to contract the treated muscle areas for up to four hours after treatment, by
frowning and lifting eyebrows to allow the toxin to reach all of the treated
muscle.
Avoid rubbing or touching the injected areas and avoid having facials and
massage for 48 hours this is to ensure that the treatment remains at the site of
injection.
Avoid vigorous exercise and alcohol for 48 hours.
If bruising develops you can apply Arnica cream
Paracetamol can be taken for mild pain post procedure
We offer all clients a no obligation free consultation with a doctor.
