Profhilo® is a revolutionary injectable skin remodelling treatment containing one of the highest concentrations of Hyaluronic Acid (HA) on the market. It is, specially formulated for people whose skin lacks volume and elasticity. Profhilo® stimulates the production of collagen and elastin and in turn improves skin tone, hydration, and the appearance of fine lines.
When administered by an experienced and medically trained practitioner the procedure is very safe with complications being extremely rare. All our practitioners are medically trained and have undergone accredited training offering you complete peace of mind. Known side effects include swelling, bruising and infection.
You may get a temporary stinging sensation however we can apply topical aesthetic if needed.
This varies from patient to patient but typically the results last up to 9 months, however we do recommend 3 treatments 1 month apart for maximum results. A maintenance session is then recommended every 3-6 months to keep up your beautiful results.
We don’t advise to exercise, sunbathe or sauna for 24 hours after your treatment. Exercise increases blood flow through the muscles and can potentially diffuse the injections.
There is an initial treatment with a follow up treatment 4 weeks later. Standard Profhilo® is administered to the face and is charged as one area. Any further areas required such as neck, knees etc are charged separately however we do offer package prices if more than one area is required. We will discuss all your requirements during your consultation.
