Profhilo

Profhilo is an award-winning treatment, used for restoring a more youthful look to the face and neck. Profhilo stabilised hybrid cooperative complexes is the first product developed with Mahyco hybrid technology. It is an injectable procedure that helps to add volume to the underlying tissues of the skin, however it is not considered to be a ‘filler’. As an effective solution for turning back the clock on ageing, Profhilo can reduce the appearance of common ageing-related concerns, including: lines and wrinkles, facial volume loss, loose skin and a dull / dry complexion.

The BAP technique is used to administer this treatment – whereby the 5 main anatomically receptive areas of the face are identified. Once injected beneath the skin, Profhilo absorbs into the tissues and works with them to help rebuild a strong structure.

This restoration of the natural fabric of the dermis sees an increase in levels of collagen and elastin, for a remodelled complexion that is fuller and has more bounce.

Depending on your level of concern 1 or 2 treatments may be needed, with a single maintenance treatment carried out a couple of months later. The outcome will usually have developed within 8 weeks, often showing a smoother, tighter and more lifted appearance.

Profhilo can be used to improve the appearance of:

Face
Neck
Décolletage
Hands

AM I SUITABLE FOR PROFHILO?

Many people, both men and women, are often found to be suitable for Profhilo. The treatment is frequently requested by adults of all ages, ranging from those in their 30’s to those in their 50’s.

IS THIS TREATMENT SAFE?

Profhilo is considered to be a safe treatment that is FDA approved. Subtle, natural looking results are produced by the treatment’s ability to remodel the deeper skin tissues, rather than to ‘fill’ the space and replace the substances that have been lost.

DOES IT HURT?

Profhilo is an injectable treatment and therefore may be a little uncomfortable upon application. We offer the application of a topical numbing prior to treatment, to help minimise any sensitivity.

ARE THERE ANY SIDE EFFECTS OR RISKS?

The after effects that are usually experienced following Profhilo can include: swelling, bruising and redness. In less common cases, a person may develop an infection, allergic reaction or nerve damage, however the IBSA declares that this is rare.

IS THERE ANY AFTERCARE TO CONSIDER?

It is not common for a person’s day to be significantly disrupted as a result of the Profhilo treatment. It is important, however, for you to ensure that you do not touch the treated area for around 6 hours after treatment – including applying make-up. It is recommended that you avoid strenuous activity for up to 24 hours.
