Profhilo
Profhilo is an innovative injectable treatment specifically designed to improve skin laxity, firmness, and overall quality by stimulating the natural production of collagen and elastin. Unlike traditional dermal fillers, which primarily add volume to the skin, Profhilo contains a high concentration of pure hyaluronic acid (HA) and acts as a bio-remodeling agent. It provides deep hydration, boosts elasticity, and promotes tighter, smoother skin, making it effective for body tightening in areas prone to sagging.
Profhilo is composed of 100% pure hyaluronic acid, which is known for its powerful hydrating properties. It uses a patented NAHYCO® Hybrid Technology to create a unique, stabilized hybrid complex of high and low molecular weight HA. This combination allows for slow and even release of HA into the skin, providing prolonged hydration and stimulation of collagen and elastin production.
Benefits:
Improves Skin Firmness and Elasticity
Profhilo enhances skin firmness by stimulating collagen and elastin production, leading to a visible tightening effect. This makes it particularly effective for areas with mild to moderate skin laxity.
Deep Hydration for Better Skin Quality
The high concentration of HA in Profhilo provides intense hydration, improving skin texture, tone, and radiance. This hydration helps to smooth out fine lines and wrinkles and gives the skin a more youthful and refreshed appearance.
Natural and Gradual Results
Profhilo promotes the natural production of collagen and elastin, leading to gradual, subtle improvements in skin quality. The results look natural and are achieved without altering facial or body contours.
Minimally Invasive with Minimal Downtime
The treatment involves only a few small injections, with minimal discomfort and downtime. Patients can typically resume their normal activities immediately after the procedure, with only mild redness or swelling that usually resolves within a few hours.
Safe and Natural Composition
Profhilo is made of pure hyaluronic acid, which is naturally present in the body and is highly biocompatible. There is minimal risk of allergic reactions or adverse effects.
How does it work?
Injection into Targeted Areas
Profhilo is injected into specific points on the skin's surface (known as bio-aesthetic points) using a fine needle. The injection technique allows the HA to spread evenly across the skin, ensuring uniform hydration and tissue remodeling. For body tightening, Profhilo is typically injected into areas where there is noticeable skin laxity or sagging, such as the upper arms, abdomen, thighs, neck, and décolletage.
Hydration and Bioremodeling Effects
Upon injection, Profhilo’s high concentration of HA provides an intense hydration effect, improving skin turgor (firmness) and elasticity. Unlike traditional fillers, which stay in a localized area, Profhilo spreads across a wider area, integrating into the skin and promoting hydration from within. The low molecular weight HA helps to hydrate the skin, while the high molecular weight HA creates a supportive matrix, giving the skin a more plumped and tightened appearance.
Collagen and Elastin Stimulation
The HA in Profhilo also acts as a powerful biostimulant. It triggers the skin’s natural healing process, stimulating the production of new collagen and elastin. This process, known as bio-remodeling, helps to improve skin structure, firmness, and elasticity over time. The collagen and elastin fibers work to strengthen the skin, making it tighter, smoother, and more resilient.
Long-Term Results and Gradual Improvement
Profhilo’s effects develop gradually, with maximum results typically seen around 4 to 8 weeks after the initial treatment. The newly produced collagen and elastin provide long-lasting support to the skin, helping to maintain its tightened and rejuvenated appearance.
Profhilo is suitable for individuals whon have mild to moderate skin laxity or sagging in specific body areas that want to improve skin firmness, elasticity, and hydration without adding volume.
Initial Treatment: The typical protocol for Profhilo involves two treatment sessions, spaced 4 weeks apart. This allows sufficient time for the HA to stimulate collagen and elastin production.
Maintenance Treatments: To maintain the results, additional treatments may be recommended every 6 to 12 months. The frequency of maintenance treatments will depend on the individual’s skin condition, aging process, and lifestyle factors.
