About Profhilo
Profhilo is a hyaluronic acid (HA) filler that stimulates the body to produce its own HA, as well as stimulating collagen, thus skin tightening.
The Problem
The lower third of the face tends to show more wrinkles and sagging due to ageing and eventually leads to ‘jowl formation’. The whole face loses plumpness starting from as young as 30, especially for those who spend a lot of their lives dehydrated.
Necks are often an area that we forget about when having treatments. The neck responds superbly to Profhilo and is Dr Ros’ absolute ‘go to’ treatment for the neck. You can also add in Aliaxin SR to the neck protocol with even better results if needed.
How It Works
2 mls of Profhilo are injected per treatment into the face or neck into 5 different areas. A course of 3 treatments a month apart are recommended. Continuous maintenance is recommended every 4-6 months.
The injection points may have slight swelling and usually subsides within 24-48 hours and are hardly visible.
Frequently Asked Questions
In which areas can it be used?
Preparing for your treatment
Post Treatment Care
It is used on the lower face & neck. Improvement is seen around the eyes, cheeks, upper lip, jowls & neck.
Having a monthly treatment such as Indiba, Hydrafacial, IPL and LED therapy straight before Profhilo is best avoided as hot skin is more likely to bruise but is not a contraindication. Skinade or Nutrakos will give your skin the collagen building blocks it needs and can be started a month before or at the time of treatment and continued for at least 3 months.
Resume your exfoliating polish the following morning and all your other products. The next level product is Plenhyage (salmon sperm extract) that can literally be used anywhere on the face, neck or body.
