Profhilo® is capable of stimulating your natural production of all four types of collagen and elastin – these vital substances are lost from the skin as we age.

It has been reported that from the age of about twenty, each year we lose around 1% of the collagen and elastin from our skin tissue. As a result of this gradual depletion, the skin becomes thinner and as time goes by it has less and less of its youthful ‘bounce’. Profhilo® can help slow down this process with regular treatments.

A treatment with Profhilo® is two sessions spaced approximately 4 weeks apart. In some extreme cases of laxity a third session may be recommended.

The effects are temporary and repeat treatments of 1 or 2 sessions can be carried out from approximately 6 months onward in order to maintain the results.

You should notice the results of the treatment – increased firmness, elasticity and an overall improved quality of your skin – lasting around six months.

However, other factors can affect the results, including the degree of correction needed, your age and lifestyle and your skin’s natural ageing process.

A course of Profhilo® involves two injectable treatments spaced four weeks apart. You can expect to see a gradual intense hydration, improvement in lines and tightness of your skin. After eight weeks is when you will see the most improvement with a lifting and tightening of the skin – it will be more hydrated and appears more youthful and in better health.

As with any injectable product there is always a risk of bruising. There may be some bumps, swelling and redness at the injection sites which normally resolves in a few hours. In some cases this may last for around 24 hrs.

You can usually return to work immediately after treatment, however you may have some slight swelling or bruises.
