What is Profhilo?
As we are getting a number of questions regarding the profhilo treatment we thought it might help if we put some information together for your perusal.
- The first of its kind, Profhilo® is a revolutionary ‘beneath the skin’ hyaluronic acid moisturising treatment, made with the patented NAHYCO® technology. This results in a unique hyaluronic acid injectable gel, which has a prolonged stimulating activity on the dermal cells. When injected into skin, Profhilo® stimulates the skin cell receptors to counteract skin laxity and improve and restore firmness of the skin.
- One of the highest concentrations of hyaluronic acid on the market, Profhilo® not only boosts and hydrates the skin, but also remodels ageing and sagging tissue. The most common areas of treatment include the face and neck and can also be used for the décolletage, hands, arms, knees and abdomen area where it would effectively treat skin laxity. The treatment is suitable for men and women as well as offering skin benefits for patients of all ages.
- Profhilo delivers safe, effective, and proven long-lasting results. Results of Profhilo treatments can last up to roughly 6 to 9 months, however, this may vary by patient – particularly depending on skin type and age.
- Profhilo not only offers deep hydration and a glowing complexion, it can also help skin look and feel tighter. The injected Hyaluronic Acid provides support from within skin’s layers by stimulating our own collagen and elastin production.
- Profhilo can be used to treat many areas, not just the face. This versatile treatment is becoming increasingly popular in areas including the neck, décolleté, hands, arms, abdomen and even knees.
Collagen is a powerful tool for the skin. It can have positive effects on your skin’s elasticity, hydration, and overall appearance. As you get older, your collagen levels naturally start to decrease. Collagen is responsible for giving your skin structure and can help your skin to look brighter. Profhilo can help to reverse the signs of ageing by focusing on the production of collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid.
The treatment itself lasts about 30 minutes and requires 2 separate sessions. When Profhilo is injected, it triggers a response known as bio remodelling. This acts as a scaffold within the skin. Because Profhilo is a stabilised product, it lasts in the skin for around 28 days. During this time, it promotes the stimulation of 4 types of collagen and elastin through a slow release of hyaluronic acid.
As the injectable gel is stabilised, it means that Profhilo will last longer than a non-stabilised injectable. It’s this slow release of hyaluronic acid and collagen that works in the deeper layers of the skin to provide several skin benefits. Profhilo not only boosts the appearance of the skin but has a lifting effect on the tissue.
The best results are seen after a course of two treatments, 4 weeks apart and improvements in skin health may be seen as quickly as 5 to 7 days post-treatment. Maximum results can be seen 6 weeks after the second treatment. These improvements in skin quality can be seen for up to 9 months, when repeat treatment is then recommended. Treatment with Profhilo offers an overall improvement in skin quality and texture. Skin feels tighter, firmer and has a dewy, relaxed appearance. It gives impressive results on the face and neck and can be beneficial on other areas such as the décolletage, hands and arms.
HAENKENIUM CREAM
The protective strength of this formulation as a natural antioxidant also makes it also suitable for use post treatment after dermoaesthetic treatments such as peels, dermal fillers, micro-needling, and other treatments to soothe irritated skin, whilst restoring the normal levels of hydration to the skin.
Ideal for the face, neck and décolletage, Profhilo® HAENKENIUM can be used on a daily basis morning and night or as advised by a practitioner.
