Why Everybody Is Talking About Profhilo
At RP Aesthetics, we aim to provide natural-looking results by subtly correcting imperfections and enhancing existing beauty, so it wasn’t going to be long before we introduced Profhilo to our treatment list! Dubbed as THE treatment of the moment, the injectable moisturiser uses hyaluronic acid to boost hydration and tighten the skin, with visible yet understated results. Let’s explore this award-winning treatment in more detail.
The Difference Between Profhilo And Dermal Fillers
Hyaluronic acid (HA) is the primary ingredient of most Fillers and is used to add volume to targeted areas. BDDE is a chemical that is bonded to HA Dermal Fillers to slow the rate at which the body breaks them down. Profhilo is the first BDDE-free stabilised HA product used to treat skin laxity. Without cross-linking agents, the substance can flow over an extended area when injected into the skin. This allows HA to intensely moisturise the skin without adding volume.
5 Noteworthy Benefits
The Secret To Glowing Skin
Hyaluronic acid is hydrophilic, meaning it draws in and retains water from the body and this burst of hydration transforms dull and lifeless skin. A higher water content not only creates a dewy glow but improves skin barrier function, locking in hydration and preventing the entry of pathogens.
Turn Back The Clock
Although Profhilo acts as a hydrator rather than a Filler, the skin’s increased water content helps to temporarily smooth away fine lines. The injectable also stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, remodelling the skin and giving it a plumper and firmer appearance in the long run.
Long-lasting Results
This minimally invasive treatment can be performed during a lunch break with little to no downtime. What’s more, results are visible after a few days, but the full effect of the treatment can be seen after 8 weeks. Maintenance treatments are recommended twice a year, however, this does not mean that the skin goes back to its pretreatment state after 6 months. New collagen and elastin continue to provide anti-ageing results long after the body breaks down the injected hyaluronic acid.
Improves Skin Quality Across The Face And Body
The most popular treatment area is the face, although many clients use this injectable moisturiser to improve skin quality on other areas of the body. These include the neck, decolletage, hands and knees. Results last for approximately 6 months regardless of the injection site.
Enhances Other Treatments
Profhilo can be used as a stand-alone treatment or in conjunction with others. The combination of injectable moisturiser with an Obagi® skincare system creates a more holistic approach to skin remodelling and revitalisation. The addition of Dermal Fillers and Anti-Wrinkle Injections simply strengthen anti-ageing results.
