Profhilo

Profhilo Treatment in Margate, Kent

What is Profhilo?
Profhilo is an injectable anti-ageing treatment made from hyaluronic acid for skin that’s losing its elasticity and firmness with age. Profhilo helps the skin by stimulating the collagen that is naturally lost over time. It can be used on the face, neck, décolletage, hands, knees or any other part of the body showing signs of ageing. Profhilo results in an immediate improvement in skin tone and hydration as well as firmness and it can reduce the appearance of fine lines.

How does Profhilo work?
Ultra-pure hyaluronic acid is precisely injected into the area being treated. unlike wrinkle reducing and dermal filler treatments, Profhilo stimulates collagen and elastin, and attracts water in the deeper layers of the skin.

Profhilo is not like other dermal fillers. Its unique structure allows it to flow over an extended area to boost hydration and cause ‘remodelling’ of the skin. It does this mainly by reacting with your own skin tissue to instantly boost hydration and over the four weeks following treatment it boosts elastin and collagen production significantly.

Is Profhilo painful?
There is some discomfort involved. Of course, everyone has a different pain threshold. The treatment may feel like a slight pinch of the skin. Some areas of the face can be more sensitive than others, but the treatment is relatively quick.

Numbing cream is applied prior to treatment to minimise discomfort.

Are there any potential side effects of Profhilo?
Although immediately following treatment (which involves 5 superficial injections to each side of the face, the most commonly treated area) you may have small lumps, these will distribute smoothly and evenly within 12-24 hours. There are very few side effects or risks associated with Profhilo for this reason, however there may be a very small bruise at the injection site or some mild swelling.

Am I a candidate?
Profhilo is for anyone who presents signs of skin ageing (dull, sagging skin, volume loss, fine lines and wrinkles, skin laxity and crepe-like texture, etc.) you cannot have Profhilo if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.

How many treatments do I need?
The initial treatment consists of 2 sessions, 4 weeks apart. To prolong the results, you will require another single session after around 3-6 months.
