Profhilo
Profhilo is an injectable anti-ageing treatment made from hyaluronic acid for skin that is losing its elasticity and firmness with age. It can be used on the face, neck, decollete, arms, hands and knees, or any part of your body where the skin shows visible signs of ageing.
Results
Results appear usually after about four weeks and increase over time with new collagen and elastin forming. The effects are long-lasting. They typically last around 6 months and the feedback from our patients to date has been fantastic.
As with any injectable treatment, there are minor risks, including bruising and swelling, however, these are very rare. The procedure is very quick and the needle used to administer the treatment is very fine so most patients do not feel any discomfort. Another bonus is that there is no downtime afterwards. This means you are fine to resume your everyday activities as soon as you leave the clinic.
The treatment is suitable for anyone because it uses a substance that is naturally occurring within the skin.

So what does Profhilo® treatment involve and what benefits does it offer?
Profhilo® usually consists of two five point treatments, one month apart. There are also follow up/ top-up treatments every six months, in order to maintain the results.
The treatment has many benefits:
It stimulates the skin to produce youth-boosting collagen and elastin.
It enhances stem cell reproduction.
Lines and wrinkles appear less noticeable.
It can reverse the appearance of skin laxity (looseness and drooping) which tends to happen as we age.
The skin appears more healthy and vibrant.
Profhilo® is very versatile and can be used almost anywhere on the body. Areas where you are seeking to add lost volume and reduce “crepey-ness” are the most common ones. These include the face, neck, décolletage, upper arms, hands and lip line. There is also a specially designed 5-point pattern across the face to achieve an overall non-surgical facelift effect.
