Profhilo contains a very high concentration of hyaluronic acid, which draws water to plump the skin and hydrates deeply from within. This also stimulates fibroblasts, which are responsible for collagen and elastin production, improving the appearance of lines and wrinkles, enhancing the texture of the skin, and boosting brightness for a natural looking glow.
Profhilo is perfect for targeting crepey, dull and ageing skin, giving a firmer and more luminous look.

Although traditional dermal fillers also contain hyaluronic acid, Profhilo doesn’t give the obvious boost in volume that fillers provide and doesn’t change the structure of the face, but rather gives an all-round plumped, firmer appearance. Profhilo’s unique formulation and slow release of HA stimulates collagen production, remodelling the skin from within. Profhilo is more about boosting the hydration of the skin and making it appear more radiant than contouring or enhancing any particular features.

Most clients benefit from two Profhilo sessions, space 4 weeks apart, for optimal results. Additional maintenance sessions of just one session are recommended every 4-6 months to prolong duration of results.

You will notice an improvement in the hydration of the skin within a week of treatment. With optimal results becoming apparent after the second treatment once the results collagen and elastin production becomes apparent.

Results from Profhilo last for around 6 months but can be extended with maintenance sessions. The initial treatment consists of 2 appointments 4 weeks apart, and maintenance treatments are just one session.

Profhilo is designed for individuals with dull, tired looking and crepey skin. It’s ideal for those over the age of 30, when collagen and elastin production naturally significantly decreases. Individual suitability varies, so we recommend a free online consultation with one of our medical practitioners to confirm.

To see the best results of your Profhilo treatment, we’d recommend scheduling your appointment at least 2 months before your big event.
