Skin Boosters (Profhilo)

Profhilo is a treatment involving a series of pure hyaluronic acid injections designed to hydrate the skin and stimulate collagen and elastin production. The treatment process involves injecting Profhilo at five points on each side of the face, allowing the formula to disperse across the mid and lower face.

Key Benefits and Areas Treated : 

  • Face and Neck: Ideal for improving overall skin quality and treating skin on the face and neck. It's renowned for producing glowing skin due to increased collagen levels, as praised by top beauty editors.

  • Hands: Rejuvenates the back of the hands, making them appear younger and smoother.

  • Arms: Tightens loose skin on the arms.

  • Under Eyes: While not directly injected around the eyes, treatments lower on the face can dramatically smooth the eye area with less downtime than most under-eye laser treatments.

Is Profhilo a Dermal Filler?

Profhilo is not the same as a dermal filler.

  • Consistency: Profhilo is a water-like gel, whereas dermal fillers are thicker.

  • Application: Profhilo is injected across the face to improve overall skin quality, rather than targeting specific lines or folds like dermal fillers.

  • Effect: Profhilo enhances entire areas, promoting a natural look without lumps or bumps, unlike dermal fillers.

  • Versatility: Profhilo is ideal for areas where fillers are less commonly used, such as the neck, hands, and arms.

How Many Treatments Will I Need?

To achieve optimal results, you will initially need 2 Profhilo treatments spaced four weeks apart. The best results will be visible 4-6 weeks after your second treatment, showcasing improved skin tone, texture, and elasticity.

After this, a top-up treatment every six months is recommended to maintain the effects.

 Aftercare Process:

Essential Tips for Optimal Results

  • Avoid Makeup: Refrain from applying makeup to the treated area for at least 24 hours after each polynucleotide treatment.

  • Gentle Care: Be gentle when cleansing the under-eye area. Use a mild, non-abrasive cleanser and avoid rubbing or scrubbing the skin.

  • Sun Protection: Protect your skin from sun exposure by wearing sunglasses and applying sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher to the treated area.

  • Avoid Excessive Heat: Avoid hot baths, saunas, steam rooms, and direct heat exposure to the under-eye area for at least 24-48 hours after treatment.

  • Hydration: Drink plenty of water to keep your skin hydrated from within. This helps maintain the results of the polynucleotide treatment.

  • Follow-Up Care: Attend any follow-up appointments as recommended by your healthcare provider to monitor your progress and address any concerns.

  • Be Patient: Results from polynucleotide treatments may take time to fully manifest. Be patient and consistent with your aftercare routine for optimal results.

  • Contact Your Provider: If you experience any unusual or concerning symptoms after treatment, such as excessive swelling, redness, or pain, contact your healthcare provider immediately.
