What Is Profhilo?
Profhilo® is a patented technology of bio-remodelling injectable treatment. It is the first BDDE-free stabilised injectable hyaluronic acid (HA) based product for skin laxity and hydration, treating areas on the face showing signs of ageing. Profhilo helps to boost firming, hydration, skin tone, and decrease lines.
Hyaluronic acid is popularly recognized as a ‘filler’ and is usually for facial remodeling, adding volume to particular areas of your face. Profhilo is different from the traditional fillers because of its structure, enabling it to flow over a large space to improve hydration and ‘remodel’ our skin.
What Are The Benefits Of Profhilo?
One of the biggest advantages of Profhilo is that it is a non-surgical treatment with no major side-effects. It is highly effective in treating skin laxity, wrinkles, and crepiness while targeting specific problem areas like under-eye wrinkles and smoker lines. Moreover, this treatment can improve your skin’s texture and tone, leaving it looking fresh and youthful. By working from the inside out, Profhilo is a revolutionary hydrator that can restore radiance, increase elasticity, and rehydrate the skin, making it feel soft and supple. Overall, those wanting firmer, more radiant skin would benefit from undergoing Profhilo treatment, especially those experiencing fine lines, dullness, and sagging skin.
How Does Profhilo Work?
With highest concentrations of HA in the market (64mg/2ml) and has stabilised HA, it lasts in the skin for about 4 weeks, providing the benefits of both fillers and skinboosters at the same time. Profhilo works by slowly releasing 2 types of hyaluronic acid: L-HA and H-HA. The combination of HA lasts longer in the skin and slow release allows bioremodeling to take place with the stimulation of elastin and 4 types of collagen.
Low Molecular Weight Hyaluronic Acid (L-HA)
