Profhilo: The Ultimate Skin Booster in London

 

Profhilo is a groundbreaking injectable treatment that has transformed the anti-aging landscape since its introduction in 2015. Often referred to as an “injectable moisturizer,” this innovative skin booster provides long-lasting, deep hydration for a rejuvenated appearance. Composed of pure, concentrated hyaluronic acid (HA), Profhilo’s primary goal is to stimulate the production of collagen and elastin—two vital proteins essential for maintaining healthy, youthful skin.

 

Beyond hydration, this injectable enhances skin texture and firmness, making it a versatile option for those seeking to improve their complexion. Hyaluronic acid is currently the leading dermal filler used to counteract volume loss associated with aging. Over the years, various HA fillers have emerged, each with unique characteristics such as gel thickness, consistency, and duration of effects in the skin.

 

Similar to dermal fillers, Profhilo significantly influences aging skin and the overall aging process. While both treatments utilize the same ingredient, they differ in results, longevity, and cost. Curious about how Profhilo stacks up against popular dermal fillers? Read on to discover the advantages of Profhilo injectable treatments and determine if this sought-after skin booster is the right choice for you.

 

What is Profhilo?

 

Profhilo is an injectable treatment designed to enhance skin health and rejuvenation. With a high concentration of hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the skin, it effectively hydrates and plumps the skin. When injected, Profhilo disperses throughout the skin, delivering hydration from within while stimulating collagen and elastin production. Over time, this results in plumper, firmer skin with a noticeable reduction in fine lines and wrinkles. Typically, Profhilo treatment involves a series of injections over time, with results lasting several months. Overall, Profhilo is a flexible and effective solution that addresses various skin concerns, leaving you with smoother, firmer, and more radiant skin.

 

Understanding Profhilo

 

As we age, lines and wrinkles deepen, and skin loses its elasticity and radiance due to environmental factors and lifestyle choices like sun exposure, smoking, and alcohol consumption. Profhilo’s ability to stimulate natural collagen and elastin production makes it a remarkable option for anti-ageing prevention. In addition to enhancing skin hydration, it improves overall skin health by correcting uneven tone and texture, dramatically boosting firmness and plumpness while reducing the likelihood of fine lines and wrinkles.

 

During a Profhilo treatment session, the skin booster is injected just beneath the skin’s surface. Typically, five injections are administered on each side of the face, allowing the hyaluronic acid to distribute evenly. This process hydrates skin cells and promotes collagen and elastin production, softening wrinkles and fine lines while firming the face and improving elasticity over time. Radiance begins to return three weeks after the initial treatment, with noticeable improvements in tone and texture. The entire procedure takes less than ten minutes. For optimal results, we recommend at least two treatments spaced a month apart. Full benefits become apparent two to three weeks after the second session. The more hydrated the skin, the greater the likelihood of collagen production, making a second dose crucial for effective hydration.

 

After the initial two treatments, we advise follow-up sessions every six months to maintain the long-term benefits of Profhilo. Consistency is key to maximizing results, and we create personalized treatment plans based on each patient’s unique aging concerns. It’s important to note that the hyaluronic acid in Profhilo differs from that found in dermal fillers. Profhilo is a skin-boosting treatment focused on enhancing skin health, rather than adding volume. In contrast, dermal fillers enhance volume and shape specific facial areas. Additionally, the effects of Profhilo can last longer than traditional dermal fillers.

 

What Are The Benefits of Profhilo?

 

Profhilo offers a multitude of benefits, making it a revolutionary skin treatment. With its high concentration of hyaluronic acid, it hydrates and plumps the skin, diminishing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles for a more youthful, radiant complexion. Profhilo also enhances skin elasticity and firmness, resulting in a tighter appearance.

 

Additional benefits of Profhilo include:

 

• Improved skin tone and texture
• Smoother, firmer skin
• Enhanced skin laxity in the face, neck, and body
• Reduced appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
• Deep hydration and plumping
• Stimulation of collagen and elastin production
• Revitalization of dull, lackluster skin
• A more youthful and radiant complexion
• Improved skin elasticity
• No downtime required
• Quick, painless procedure
• Long-lasting results

 

What Areas Can You Treat With Profhilo?

 

While Profhilo is primarily known for facial treatments, it can also effectively target other areas of the body for deep hydration and skin remodeling, including:

 

• Neck
• Décolleté
• Inner arms
• Hands
• Knees
• Stomach

 

Additionally, Profhilo Body is available for those looking to combat dry, crepey skin and achieve lasting hydration, particularly in areas like the abdomen and inner arms.

 

Is Profhilo Safe?

 

Yes, Profhilo is a safe skin booster that has been available since 2015. However, like any cosmetic injectable, there is a potential for side effects such as redness, swelling, or bruising. A study involving over 40,000 patients treated with Profhilo reported only 12 adverse reactions, with swelling, edema, and redness being the most common, none of which were serious.

 

To minimize the risk of bruising, it’s advisable to avoid alcohol for 24 hours before and after the injection and to refrain from blood-thinning medications and Omega-3 vitamins for a few days surrounding the treatment. Using Arnica topical cream or tablets can further help reduce bruising. Always consult with a qualified healthcare professional before undergoing any skin treatment, especially if you have a bleeding disorder or unrealistic aesthetic expectations.

 

Profhilo vs Dermal Fillers

 

Profhilo is an injectable skincare treatment that hydrates and improves skin quality. While it shares hyaluronic acid with dermal fillers, Profhilo does not add volume or shape to specific facial areas; instead, it hydrates the skin from within. Dermal fillers add volume and fullness to areas of the face that have experienced elasticity loss or exhibit lines and wrinkles. They enhance facial features and provide shape and lift to areas like the lips, cheeks, and jawline.

 

Moreover, Profhilo consists of concentrated hyaluronic acid with a thinner, more fluid consistency, whereas dermal fillers have a thicker, gel-like texture. Profhilo spreads beneath the skin, while dermal fillers maintain their position. In terms of treatment protocol, Profhilo is administered in a series of two treatments spaced four weeks apart to gradually enhance skin hydration and quality. Maintenance treatments are recommended to sustain results. Conversely, dermal fillers target specific facial areas and typically require maintenance every 6 to 18 months.

 

Profhilo vs Botox

 

Both Profhilo and Botox are injectable treatments designed to enhance skin appearance, but they operate through different mechanisms. Profhilo focuses on improving overall skin quality and hydration, stimulating collagen production, and enhancing skin elasticity for a youthful, hydrated look. Unlike Botox, it does not paralyze muscles, making it a more natural option for skin rejuvenation.

 

Botox, on the other hand, specifically targets muscle movement to reduce wrinkles by blocking nerve signals in the muscles. This relaxation of the muscles diminishes the appearance of dynamic wrinkles, which are caused by repeated muscle movements, such as frown lines and crow’s feet. In summary, while Profhilo enhances skin quality and hydration, Botox focuses on reducing wrinkles by addressing muscle movement.

 

What Are the Side Effects of Profhilo?

 

Profhilo generally has minimal side effects, as the body metabolizes the hyaluronic acid completely. Common side effects are minor and may include slight bruising, swelling, tenderness, and discoloration at the injection sites. These symptoms are typically temporary and resolve on their own. Rare adverse side effects* can include:

 

• Hematomas
• Ecchymosis
• Temporary skin reactions

 

There is little to no downtime associated with Profhilo treatments, but it is advisable to avoid intense workouts immediately afterward. Patients should also refrain from anti-inflammatory medications and alcohol for 24 hours before the procedure.

 

Who is a Candidate for Profhilo?

 

Profhilo is suitable for both men and women of all skin types who are experiencing signs of aging. Ideal candidates are those looking to enhance skin quality and hydration. This injectable effectively addresses concerns such as lax, loose skin, fine lines, wrinkles, and a loss of firmness and elasticity, particularly in individuals in their late 30s and older. Additionally, post-menopausal women in their late 50s and beyond can significantly benefit from Profhilo, as it helps improve the quality of dull skin, enhances elasticity, and replenishes collagen lost during menopause.
