With the rise in popularity of skin aestethics, we deep dive into the topic and answer all the frequently asked questions regarding Profhilo treatment.
What is Profhilo?
Profhilo is one of the highest concentrations of Hyaluronic Acid that is used to rejuvenate the skin and address issues such as wrinkles, fine lines, and loss of volume. Hyaluronic acid, is a naturally occurring substance in the body that helps to maintain moisture levels in the skin.
Unlike traditional dermal fillers, which are used to add volume to specific areas of the face, Profhilo is designed to be injected into multiple points across the face to provide an overall skin improvement. It works by stimulating the production of collagen and elastin, two proteins that are essential for maintaining the skin’s elasticity and firmness.
Profhilo treatment involves two sessions, usually four weeks apart for best results. The injections are administered using a small needle, and the procedure is relatively quick, with minimal discomfort and downtime. The results are seen after the first session but the full effect is typically seen after the second session and can last up to six months.
Benefits of A Skin Booster Treatment
Profhilo is a skin booster treatment that offers several benefits for improving skin texture, hydration, and elasticity. Here are some of the benefits of Profhilo treatment:
- Skin hydration: Profhilo contains a high concentration of hyaluronic acid, which helps to hydrate and moisturize the skin. Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance in the body that attracts and retains moisture, which helps to improve skin hydration and texture.
- Increased skin elasticity: Profhilo stimulates the production of collagen and elastin fibers in the skin, which helps to improve skin elasticity and firmness. This results in smoother, more youthful-looking skin.
- Natural-looking results: Profhilo is designed to blend seamlessly with the natural tissues of the skin, resulting in a natural-looking, subtle improvement in skin texture and appearance.
- Minimal downtime: Profhilo treatment is minimally invasive and does not require any downtime or recovery time. Patients can typically return to their normal activities immediately after treatment.
- Long-lasting results: Profhilo treatment results can last for up to six months or longer, depending on the individual patient’s skin and lifestyle factors.
- Versatile treatment: Profhilo can be used on different areas of the face and body including the neck, chest/decolletage, hands, inner arms, and abdomen making it a versatile treatment option for addressing various skin concerns.
Overall, Profhilo offers a safe and effective way to improve skin hydration, elasticity, and texture, resulting in a more youthful and refreshed appearance.
How Does Profhilo Work?
Profhilo works by stimulating the production of collagen and elastin in the skin. When injected into multiple points across the face, the high concentration of hyaluronic acid in Profhilo spreads evenly and deeply within the skin layers. This triggers a response in the body that increases the production of collagen and elastin, two proteins that are essential for maintaining the skin’s elasticity and firmness.
As we age, the production of collagen and elastin naturally declines, leading to a loss of skin elasticity and the formation of wrinkles and fine lines. By stimulating the production of these proteins, Profhilo helps to improve the texture and overall appearance of the skin, reducing the signs of aging.
In addition, the high concentration of hyaluronic acid in Profhilo helps to hydrate the skin, improving its texture and radiance. Hyaluronic acid is a natural substance that helps to retain moisture in the skin, giving it a plump, youthful appearance. By replenishing the skin’s natural hyaluronic acid levels, Profhilo helps to restore hydration and improve the overall health of the skin.
Where can Hyaluronic Acid be Injected?
Profhilo injections are used to target specific areas or wrinkles. Profhilo injections are designed to be injected in specific points in the face, neck, chest/decolletage, hands, inner arms, and other areas of the body. With the most popular Profhilo treatment area being the face, here are the recommended injection points for Profhilo treatment:
Profhilo Face Injections:
- Two injections on each side of the face, or upper cheek area
- Two injections on each side of the face in the lower cheek area
- Two injections in the nasolabial fold area
- Two injections on each side of the jawline
- Two injections on each side of the mouth, in the marionette lines
It is important to note that the specific injection points may vary depending on the patient’s individual needs and the doctors preferences. At Eden our experienced Doctors will assess your skin and determine the best injection points for your individual treatment.
