Profhilo®

Have you noticed your skin is more dehydrated? Perhaps you have noticed some laxity in the skin of your face, neck and decolletage?

Profhilo could be just the treatment for you to get back your glow with hydrated, plump skin and noticeable improvements in laxity!

As we start to get older, the skin can become dry and dehydrated, due to hormonal changes and the loss of substances such as hyaluronic acid (HA) and collagen. Lines and wrinkles start to appear and we can experience an uneven skin tone, due to years of sun damage. The volume in areas of our faces such as the temples, nose to mouth lines and lower cheeks can alter the shape and profile of our faces and we can take on a tired, unhealthy appearance.

Traditional dermal fillers have always been a great ‘go-to’ treatment for skin and facial ageing. However, when the skin requires a more comprehensive approach, a traditional dermal filler might not be quite what is needed. At Signature Clinics, London, we use an innovative skin rejuvenation procedure called Profhilo®, which treats the architecture of the skin of the entire face for an overall improvement in skin laxity, hydration, tone and texture.

What is Profhilo®?

Profhilo® is a hyaluronic acid (HA), injectable skin revitalisation and re-modelling treatment , administered by a fully-trained medical professional. Profhilo® offers optimum results in 2 treatment sessions. It is injected in to 5 points on the face for a complete skin rejuvenation. Profhilo® does this by stimulating 4 different types of collagen and elastin, the vital components of youthful, healthy and toned skin. This is achieved due to the slow release of the highest-grade hyaluronic acid which mimics our own, lost HA within the skin cells. The stimulation of these substances and their resulting combination means a significant improvement in skin quality from within.

Profhilo® is not a traditional dermal filler as it is not cross-linked (thickened), but speaks with the skin on a cellular level, making it an injectable ‘liquid skincare’. Profhilo® can be used as a stand-alone treatment or can complement other aesthetic treatments such as Botox® and dermal fillers.

Profhilo® effectively treat lacklustre skin in the following areas:

  • Face
  • Neck
  • Décolletage
  • Hands
  • Knees
  • Elbows

How does the treatment work?

Prior to treatment, a topical anaesthetic will be applied to your skin, so as to minimise any discomfort during the injection process. Your practitioner will then inject small amounts of Profhilo® specifically and carefully in to areas of the face that will benefit most from the treatment. The Profhilo® solution will create tiny bumps on the skin at first, but as the product spreads, these lumps will disappear. There is no clinical downtime with a Profhilo® treatment so you can return to your daily activities immediately afterwards. You will be given some simple aftercare instructions to follow in the hours after your treatment, such as refraining from using makeup and not touching or rubbing the area for 24 hours.

After one course of Profhilo®, consisting of two injectable treatment sessions, one month apart, you can experience more hydrated, plump and luminous skin. Fine lines can dramatically reduce and the skin will feel smoother and tighter. For maintanence we recommend a repeat session between 3-6 months. If leaving it over 6 months then you may require 2 sessions again for best results

Your expected results will be discussed in a no obligation consultation, prior to your treatment.

Side-effects and recovery time

Profhilo® is a clinically-proven and FDA-approved product and side-effects are extremely rare. You may experience some swelling, tenderness and slight bruising at the injection sites but this is completely normal. Profhilo® is considered by the medical profession as extremely safe if administered by a medical practitioner.
