Today, we're diving into the world of Profhilo – what is it, what does it do, and how does it benefit you. As your aesthetics nurse practitioner, I'm here to walk you through everything you need to know about Profhilo in the quest for radiant, youthful skin.
What is Profhilo?
Profhilo is not just your ordinary dermal filler; it's a bio-remodeling treatment designed to counteract the effects of aging by stimulating collagen and elastin production in the skin. Unlike traditional fillers that target specific areas, Profhilo works holistically, improving overall skin quality and hydration.
How Does it Work?
Profhilo contains a high concentration of hyaluronic acid (HA), a naturally occurring substance in the body responsible for maintaining moisture and elasticity in the skin. When injected into the skin, Profhilo spreads evenly beneath the surface, stimulating the production of collagen and elastin. This results in improved skin texture, hydration, and firmness.
How Many Treatments and When to Expect Results?
Typically, Profhilo treatment consists of two sessions spaced four weeks apart. You'll start noticing subtle improvements after the first treatment, with optimal results becoming apparent about four weeks after the second session. The effects of Profhilo can last up to six months or even longer, depending on individual factors.
Where is it Injected?
Profhilo is injected into specific areas of the face, including the cheeks, temples, jawline, and around the mouth. The injections are administered using a fine needle, ensuring minimal discomfort and downtime.
Benefits of Profhilo:
Improves skin hydration and elasticity
Enhances overall skin texture and tone
Reduces fine lines and wrinkles
Provides a natural-looking lift to facial contours
Where Can You Have Profhilo?
Face: Profhilo can be injected into different facial areas, such as the cheeks, temples, jawline, and around the mouth, to improve overall skin texture, hydration, and firmness.
Neck: Profhilo can also be used to rejuvenate the skin on the neck, reducing the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and crepiness.
Décolletage: The décolletage area is prone to aging signs like wrinkles and sagging skin. Profhilo injections can help restore firmness and hydration to this delicate area.
Hands: Aging often manifests in the hands, with visible signs such as volume loss and thinning skin. Profhilo injections can plump up the hands, making them appear more youthful and rejuvenated.
Body: Profhilo injections can target the skin on areas like the arms or stomach, addressing issues such as crepey skin, loss of elasticity, and volume depletion. This can make arms more smoother and firmer, or improve the overall texture and tone of the stomach.
Whether you're seeking to refresh your facial features, enhance your neck and décolletage, or rejuvenate your hands, Profhilo offers a versatile solution to address multiple skin concerns. During your consultation at BV Aesthetics, we'll discuss your specific areas of concern and tailor a treatment plan to help you achieve your desired aesthetic goals.
Side Effects and Who Cannot Have it?
While Profhilo is generally safe, some temporary side effects may occur, including redness, swelling, and bruising at the injection sites. These usually subside within a few days. Individuals with a known allergy to hyaluronic acid or those prone to keloid scarring should avoid Profhilo treatment. You cannot have this Profhilo if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
Frequency of Treatment:
To maintain optimal results, Profhilo treatment is recommended either one session every 3 months, or a course of 2 sessions (one month apart) every 6 months.
Cost of Treatment:
Single Treatment: £250
Course of Two Treatments: £450
Profhilo Body: two sessions £600
