How does Profhilo work?

Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance produced in our body, found in skin, joints and other connective tissue and can hold 1000 times its weight in water which makes it ideal for binding moisture in the skin. With age, however, hyaluronic acid production slows and the skin looks duller and dehydrated, with fine lines and wrinkles forming.

Profhilo contains one of the highest concentrations of stabilised hyaluronic acid on the market and acts as a hydrator not a filler. It is injected just underneath the surface of the skin where it disperses quickly and reacts with your own tissue to instantly boost hydration. Over the next four weeks phase two kick in as it goes to work boosting elastin and collagen production. This effectively remodels the skin giving it a plumper, smoother, firmer appearance.

Profhilo distributes smoothly and evenly due to its gel like consistency so it can be used on areas which are difficult to treat with traditional fillers, such as the neck and forehead.

How many treatments are needed?

The Profhilo treatment consists of two or three sessions, 4 weeks apart. A further session may be recommended after six months in order to further prolong the effect. Profhilo can be used on its own or in conjunction with other fillers, laser treatments or wrinkle reduction as a complementary treatment.
