Bio-stimulant – Profhilo

Profhilo is a “beneath the skin injectable moisturizer”, as it deeply hydrates and remodels the skin for a lasting dewy and radiant complexion. 

It is a subtle enhancement that can leave the skin intensely moisturized, while also targeting laxity and dullness. It enables hydration, firming, and lifting of the skin. 

It contains 100% pure hyaluronic acid, without any synthetic additives. 

Profhilo stimulates collagen, elastin, and proliferate fat stem cells, which all play a part in giving the skin a firm and luminous appearance.  It transforms the skin through a slow release of hyaluronic acid. This allows bio-remodelling of the skin by stimulating the production of four types of collagen and production of fat stem cells.

The treatment involves only five injection points on each side of the face. This helps with optimal product diffusion or achieving maximum results with less discomfort and fewer sessions.

Take note: Profhilo is injected under the skin and stays in it for about 28 days. It is designed to slowly and evenly release hyaluronic acid, stimulating essential skin proteins. It works across the entire face (or treated area), instead of just a single area or addressing a specific aging concern.

Both men and women wanting to improve skin hydration and overall quality can try Profhilo. And while there are no age limits or restrictions, it is recommended for patients 30 and above.

You may be a suitable candidate if you:

• Are experiencing the first signs of aging or laxity
• Notice a change in your skin texture like fine lines, a loss of elasticity, and some crepiness 
• Look a bit older than your age
• Notice that your skin lacks hydration
• Want to achieve a beautiful, youthful glow
• Your skin lost the radiance it once had

A consultation with Dr Le Grange will determine if Profhilo is right for you or if there are other treatments more suitable to the concerns you wish to treat or improve.

Keep in mind:  While Prophilo can make the skin look firmer, it is not a lifting filler and does not replace other types of fillers that are used to lift the cheeks or tighten the jawline.

Profhilo cannot enhance contours or add volume like fillers do, and it cannot smooth dynamic wrinkles or delay their formation like Botox/Dysport.

It is a treatment that is often used in combination with other aesthetic treatments such as fillers, Botox/Dysport or thread lifts.

You may start to see improvements instantly, but it can take a few weeks to see the full results. They will be increasingly visible within four weeks, with the full results showing at eight weeks following your second injection. 

The results can last for six months, but they can still vary, as every patient is different. You can also choose to get touch-up treatments every six to nine months to maintain Profhilo’s youthful results. 

The protocol is two treatment sessions, scheduled four weeks apart. The number of sessions can be modified, but this will still depend on your individual profile or skin laxity. In older patients, a booster can be administered at the six-month time point.

You may experience some redness and swelling and slight bruising after the treatment, but these are temporary and subside after a few hours. 

As with most injectable treatments, you may experience a slight stinging sensation at the injection site, but as there are minimal injection points with Profhilo, the overall discomfort is also minimal.
