Profhilo is a revolutionary award-winning treatment used to remodel the skin, restoring a more youthful look to the face and neck. It is an injectable procedure that helps to add volume to the underlying tissues of the skin, however it is not considered to be a ‘filler’. As an effective solution for turning back the clock on ageing, Profhilo can reduce the appearance of common ageing-related concerns, including: lines and wrinkles, facial volume loss, loose skin and a dull / dry complexion and is even known to improve the appearance of acne scarring.

The BAP technique is used to administer this treatment – whereby the 5 main anatomically receptive areas of the face are identified. Once injected beneath the skin, Profhilo absorbs into the tissues and works with them to help rebuild a strong structure. This restoration of the natural fabric of the dermis sees an increase in levels of collagen and elastin, for a remodelled complexion that is fuller and has more bounce.

Depending on your level of concern 1 or 2 treatments may be needed. 2 treatments 4 weeks apart are recommended for optimal results. Results start to be visible within a few days but optimal results are seen 4 weeks post treatment, showing a smoother, tighter and more lifted appearance.

Although profhilo is a popular treatment for the face, great results are also seen on the neck and décolletage.

AM I SUITABLE FOR PROFHILO?

Many people (both men and women) are found to be suitable for Profhilo. The treatment is frequently requested by adults of all ages, proving most popular for those in their 30’s to those in their 50’s.

DOES IT HURT?

Like most injectable treatments, Profhilo may be a little uncomfortable upon application, but it is a very quick treatment with only 10 small injection points, so numbing is not necessary. However, if you feel you wanted to, you can apply topical numbing prior to treatment.

ARE THERE ANY SIDE EFFECTS OR RISKS?

IS THERE ANY AFTERCARE TO CONSIDER?
