PROFHILO

What is Profhilo?

​

"It's not just good - it's marvellous" (getthegloss.com)

 

A multi-award-winning product, Profhilo is a series of injections that contain very high concentrations of Hyaluronic Acid (HA), which is slowly released into the skin.  Profhilo has many celebrity fans, and for good reason.  A truly unique product, Profhilo rehydrates, smooths and plumps up the skin, lifting and tightening and making you look refreshed and radiant. 

​

Once injected into the skin, the HA spreads out and then acts like a sponge, absorbing water and expanding, intensely hydrating the skin and making the skin look healthier and plumper.  This process lasts for around a month, and during this time it stimulates the development of new HA, collagen and elastin, resulting in a significant tightening and lifting effect. 

​

What skin conditions/issues does Profhilo treat?

​

Profhilo is ideal for improving skin texture, laxity, crepey skin, and a lack of radiance/dull complexion.  Profhilo can be used on the face, neck and hands.  

​

Great as a treatment in it's own right, Profhilo also works well in combination with other aesthetic treatments.

​

What happens during a Profhilo treatment?

​

Following a consultation where we will discuss the procedure in detail, together with your treatment aims, an anaesthetic cream will be applied. Profhilo is delivered into the skin via a series of ten injections (five each side).  Treatment time is approximately 45-minutes.

​

Is a Profhilo treatment painful?

​

The procedure is usually well-tolerated as numbing cream is applied before the procedure.  A slight stinging sensation is usually felt when the product is administered.    

​

How many Profhilo sessions are required for great results?

​

Two treatments, one month apart, are recommended for best results.  Top-up treatments are recommended once or twice a year.
