Profhilo® is an innovative product aimed at counteracting the physiological reduction of hyaluronic acid in the skin, restoring hydration, elasticity and tone of the skin. When injected, Profhilo® not only boosts hydration of the skin, but also remodels ageing and sagging skin.
Most commonly treated areas include the face, neck and décolletage, although hands, arms, knees and abdomen may also be treated.
During a Profhilo® treatment, ultra-pure hyaluronic acid is injected into the area, which in turn, attracts water into the deeper layers of the skin and stimulates collagen and elastin. This results in significant improvement of tissue quality, subsequently causing a tightening and lifting effect, whilst simultaneously reducing the signs of ageing, such as fine lines and wrinkles, skin imperfections, scarring and dullness.
When treating the face, five points of injection are repeated either side.
Profhilo® significantly reduces the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and skin indentations leaving behind a plump and luminous complexion. It is the perfect treatment to minimise signs of ageing, improve smokers lines, correct skin laxity, restore lost volume and brighten dull and dehydrated skin.
