Profhilo has quickly become a favourite in the world of aesthetic treatments. Find out more about Profhilo from Dr Yiannis himself.
Let’s dive into the details of this revolutionary treatment to help you determine if Profhilo’s ability to rejuvenate and refresh your appearance is the right fit for you.
Profhilo contains a high concentration of hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the skin that plays a big part in keeping it hydrated and youthful. Where traditional fillers work by simply adding volume to specific areas, Profhilo is unique as it spreads widely within the skin. It then hydrates the tissues and stimulates your body's natural collagen and elastin production.
This distinct process improves skin texture, reduces fine lines and wrinkles, and leaves you with a more refreshed appearance. In the world of aesthetics, we sometimes refer to Profhilo as an 'injectable moisturiser,' as it delivers deep hydration without the need for surgery, resulting in more naturally vibrant results.
Profhilo’s unique hyaluronic acid formulation spreads evenly across the treatment area to deliver hydration and rejuvenation throughout. This comprehensive approach improves overall skin quality, rather than just specific sections or individual wrinkles.
This treatment triggers a process called bio-remodelling. It stimulates the production of not only collagen but also four different types of elastin. These are the essential building blocks of youthful skin, responsible for firmness, elasticity, and a refreshed appearance.
As a non-invasive treatment, Profhilo requires minimal downtime, making it an attractive option for those who want to improve skin quality quickly without going under the knife.
I like to think of Profhilo as the wake-up call your skin’s been looking for. More than just filling in wrinkles, here’s how Profhilo truly revitalises your skin from within.
Deeply Hydrates: Profhilo acts like a powerful humectant, drawing moisture deep into the skin layers. This intense hydration reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles for a plumper, smoother complexion.
Stimulates Collagen and Elastin Production: Profhilo triggers your body to produce more collagen and elastin, the building blocks of youthful skin. It helps firm and strengthen your skin, leaving it smoother, tighter, and more resilient.
Enhances Skin Texture and Tone: If rough texture or uneven tone has been bothering you, Profhilo can help refine your skin’s texture. It’ll leave it silky smooth, while brightening and evening out your complexion by reducing dullness and hyperpigmentation.
Restores Volume and Contours: While not a traditional volumiser, Profhilo can subtly lift and contour the face by improving skin laxity and restoring lost volume.
The face is undoubtedly the most popular treatment area for Profhilo. That’s because it can effectively rejuvenate the cheeks, chin, temples, and even the delicate skin around the eyes. But it’s not the only area this remarkable treatment can improve skin quality and loss of volume.
Neck: The neck often reveals early signs of aging, such as sagging skin. Profhilo works to improve skin quality, firming and smoothing the area to help avoid the dreaded ‘turkey neck.’
Décolleté: The chest area is frequently exposed to the sun, leading to wrinkles, fine lines, and a loss of elasticity. Profhilo can help revitalise this delicate area, improving skin texture for a more youthful appearance.
Hands: Our hands speak more about age than you might realise. By improving skin quality and reducing the appearance of wrinkles, Profhilo turns back the hands of time on the back of the hands.
Beyond the Face: Profhilo can also be effectively used to improve the appearance of areas prone to volume loss and skin laxity, such as the abdomen, knees, and elbows.
The Profhilo treatment process is generally straightforward and well-tolerated. Each treatment session typically lasts around 15-20 minutes, and is usually administered in a series of two sessions, spaced 4 weeks apart. This allows your skin to gradually respond and maximise the benefits of each treatment.
To minimize the risk of bruising, it's best to avoid blood-thinning medications such as aspirin and certain supplements a few days before your treatment. I suggest refraining from alcohol consumption for 24 hours prior to the procedure as this can also help reduce the risk of bruising. Other than that, simply stay well-hydrated in the days leading up to your treatment to help optimise your skin's condition.
To ensure optimal results and reduce the risk of complications, I highly recommend you follow these simple post-treatment care instructions.Avoid touching or applying makeup to the treated areas for at least 4-6 hours.Avoid strenuous exercise, alcohol, and excessive sun exposure for 24 hours after each treatment.Continue to moisturise your skin regularly and use sunscreen daily to protect your results.
Most patients experience minimal discomfort during the treatment itself. I use a topical anaesthetic to numb the treatment area beforehand, minimizing any discomfort during the injections. After the numbing cream wears off, you may experience some mild discomfort, which can usually be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers like paracetamol.
Typically, you can expect to enjoy the rejuvenating effects of Profhilo for up to 6 months. However, individual results may vary depending on factors such as your skin's condition, age, and lifestyle. To maintain the results and enjoy continued radiance, I recommend a follow-up consultation and potential maintenance sessions to ensure your skin stays looking its best.
As with any injectable treatment, some minor side effects are possible. These may include mild redness or swelling at the injection sites, and small bumps or bruises, which usually resolve within a few days. Fortunately, recovery time is minimal, and you can usually resume your normal activities immediately following the treatment.Profhilo vs. Dermal FillersBoth Profhilo and dermal fillers offering non-surgical solutions to enhance your appearance. However, they work through distinct mechanisms and cater to different skin and appearance goals.
Profhilo operates through the process of bio-remodelling to stimulate your skin's natural collagen and elastin production from within. This results in a subtle yet significant improvement in skin quality by increasing hydration and elasticity for a more refined, youthful appearance.
Dermal fillers, on the other hand, focus on adding volume and correcting volume loss in specific areas. They use various substances, such as hyaluronic acid, to plump up cheeks, lips, and areas around the eyes, effectively smoothing out wrinkles and restoring a more youthful contour.
Profhilo is a wonderful treatment that can benefit a wide range of age groups, from those in their 30s to individuals in their 60s and beyond. However, it tends to be most effective for those experiencing the early signs of aging, such as fine lines, wrinkles, and a slight loss of skin elasticity.If you’re someone with healthy skin, Profhilo is bound to yield the best results. This is because the treatment works to enhance and improve existing skin quality rather than address more advanced signs of aging. If you want to explore whether Profhilo is worth, we go into more detail here.
