What is Profhilo®?
Profhilo®️ is an injectable hyaluronic acid product that intensely improves skin hydration and volume. It is unique and different from other skinboosters and dermal fillers in the way it works: it stimulates bio-remodelling of collagen, elastin and adipocytes (fat) stem cells. Basically it remodels/restructures; makes positive changes to the skin itself. It is specially formulated for skin that lacks volume and elasticity, helping to lift, tighten and hydrate skin.
Profhilo®️’s unique properties
Profhilo contains one of the highest concentrations of Hyaluronic Acid (HA) in the market (32mg/mL). Through a proprietary process (NAHYCO® Hybrid Technology), the Low Molecular Weight HA and High Molecular Weight HA in Profhilo interact with each other to form a molecule called Hybrid Cooperative Complex (HCC). This HCC molecule has very unique properties:
- High HA concentration: Profhilo®️ contains 32mg/mL of Low Molecular Weight HA and 32mg/mL of High Molecular Weight HA – totalling 64mg/2ml in one treatment.
- Low viscosity and extensive spreadability – the HA diffuses and distributes well all over the face once injected, hence it requires only 5 injections for each side of your face, totally 10 injections for the entire face.
- Low inflammatory response, and is well absorbed by our skin.
- Lasts about 30-45 days in the skin, longer than skinboosters.
How Profhilo®️ works
Profhilo®️ works by remodelling the skin and improving the structure and quality of the skin itself through 3 ways:
- The high concentration of HA in Profhilo®️ stimulates fibroblast cells to increase natural collagen and elastin production in the dermis
- The High Molecular Weight HA in Profhilo®️ creates a stable HA structure in the dermis layer of the skin to give a huge volume lift, thereby reducing sagging.
- The Low Molecular Weight HA in Profhilo®️ acts as a reservoir for moisture, holding moisture in the skin and thus providing lasting hydration.
The benefits
- Profhilo®️ only requires 5 injection points on each side of the face! This is a big advantage over conventional skinboosters injections.
- Improved hydration
- Healthier, firmer skin
- Lifting effect
- Smoother skin
- Scars are less visible
The answer is no.
Profhilo®️ contains non cross-linked hyaluronic acid. This means that it does not hold a shape or change facial contours, and has high spreadability. Once injected under the skin, the product spreads out evenly across the skin to increase hydration, reduce fine lines and stimulate collagen growth.
Regular dermal fillers are cross-linked, meaning it can hold a particular shape and augment your facial features.
There is minimal downtime with the Profhilo®️ skin treatment. There may be slight swelling at the injection points, but these usually subside within 24 hours. As with most injectable treatments, small bruises or needle marks may appear over the injection sites which can be easily concealed. As Profhilo®️ treatments require much lesser injection points than other Skinbooster treatments,
Compared to other Skinbooster treatments, Profhilo®️ skin tightening treatment requires much less injection points, which reduces the pain and the risk of bruising or downtime. Profhilo®️ is highly recommended for busy individuals who need to minimise downtime.
Immediately – Skin hydration and fine lines improvements are visible
Gradually – Skin tightening and skin elasticity continue to improve
8 weeks – Winkles and skin texture improvements can be seen
12 weeks- Patients can see dewy, radiant, plumper-looking complexion
Note: Profhilo®️ cannot lift very saggy skin, it cannot replace procedures such as threadlift or fillers.
Profhilo®️ is suitable for both females and males who want to improve skin texture, hydration and tightness. It is effective as an anti-ageing treatment, and is optimal to start when the signs of ageing are just beginning to show.
