Considered the best non-surgical alternative to a facelift, Profhilo treatment provides an enhanced skin remodelling solution to loose and wrinkled skin. Even though Profhilo provides some of the best results for facial rejuvenation available, there is still very little known about this fantastic treatment.
In this blog, our injectable specialists will explain what Profhilo Skin Boosters are, how they work and how to get the best results from your treatment. If you have any questions or would like to book a treatment for yourself, contact our MediSpa team, who will be able to help.
Profhilo is a brand of injectable treatment that uses a Hyaluronic Acid-based solution injected into the skin to provide a tighter and plumper appearance. The unique thing about this treatment is that the solution contains a high concentration of hyaluronic acid and a chemical structure that allows the solution to diffuse quickly into the skin.
This treatment is not to be confused with a Dermal Filler treatment. Although both use Hyaluronic Acid and can be used to tackle similar issues with skin laxity and ageing, Profhilo acts as more of a remodelling solution. Unlike dermal fillers, Profhilo hydrates the skin and then triggers the body’s natural healing process to produce more elastin and collagen. These are responsible for providing structure, strength and support in your skin.
Profhilo is a non-surgical treatment that is not considered painful. As this is an injectable treatment, most patients describe the sensation as a slight pinch to the skin. Everyone has a different pain threshold, so if you are quite sensitive to pain, local anaesthetic is available upon request. Your comfort and safety are our priority.
The treatment is considered safe and effective for many skin concerns and includes all skin types. Hyaluronic Acid is a naturally occurring substance in the body that is also the main component of Profhilo, so there is no risk of reaction from the body.
Following treatment, you may experience minor side effects that usually occur with injectable treatments. These include redness, bruising and sensitive skin. Side effects often reduce significantly within 48 hours and will remain at the site of the injection.
We hope that the information above has helped you understand this amazing non-surgical alternative to a facelift.
