STEP-BY-STEP TREATMENT

  • Step 1: Consultation

    You’ll be asked to come visit in person or an online cosultation for an initial assesment. During this appointment, we’ll take a complete medical history and find out as much as possible about your treatment goals. 


    We’ll also explain a bit more about the patented science behind Profhilo and what you can expect from this treatment. Please feel free to ask lots of questions – we will always give you an honest answer.

  • Step 2: During your visit

    A treatment with Profhilo usually involves 10 injections into specific points of your face (five on either side). 


    We use ultra-fine needles and most people find the treatment incredibly comfortable.

  • Step 3: After the treatment

    You may find that you have small bumps at the injection sites for three to four hours after your treatment where the product has yet to fully disperse. Profhilo is great for minimising the chances of bruises and swelling but every person differs.


    The results of your treatment should start to be visible after seven days and will continue to improve over several months.


    The hyaluronic acid in Profhilo takes just 28 days to break down within the body so we always recommend a second appointment after four weeks. Together, these two treatments kick start a chain reaction of collagen and elastin production that should be visible for the next six to eight months.


    Many people choose to have one or two top-up appointments throughout the year.

HOW DOES IT WORK?


HA is hydrophilic, meaning it draws and holds water from your body, so Profhilo acts as a hydrator rather than a filler. This makes it fantastic for those with tired, dull-looking skin, transforming it into firm and luminous skin. This effect takes place within 3-5 days of treatment.


Over the next couple of weeks the production of collagen and elastin is then stimulated, this creates a secondary effect of the skin tightening. This is a very useful effect as the levels of collagen, elastin and Hyaluronic Acid in the skin rapidly drop from the age of 30, resulting in signs of ageing such as fine lines, wrinkles and lacklustre skin. Profhilo acts to reverse some of these changes. The maximum effect of Profhilo is usually seen 2 months after the second treatment.


WHAT DOES THE TREATMENT INVOLVE?


Profhilo is injected just below the skin’s surface over 2 sessions 4 weeks apart. After injection it disperses quickly beneath the skin to improve hydration, without any need for massage or risk of leaving lumps or nodules. Profhilo is absorbed within a 2cm radius of its injection site, so to treat the face only 10 injection points are needed in total.

A single course of Profhilo involves 2 injectable treatments 4 weeks apart, after which you can expect to see an intense hydration. It makes the skin glow, fine lines can disappear and you’ll notice smoother, tighter skin. Courses of two treatments can be repeated every six months as needed to maintain the results.

After a single course of Profhilo treatment, which involves two injections four weeks apart, clients will notice an intense hydration. It makes the skin glow, erasing fine lines. You’ll notice smoother, tighter skin. Even for those clients with wrinkled, creepy skin, an improvement in the texture is noticeable. Treatment can be repeated after six months if desired.


THE RECOVERY PROCESS


The downtime following a treatment is minimal, and you should be able to return to normal ‘light’ daily activities immediately after your procedure.  However, we recommend that you avoid physical strain and sports on the first day after the treatment, and don’t have a sauna or steamy bath for the first few days.  You should also avoid intense sun or UV light exposure for the first few days after treatment.


ARE THERE ANY SIDE EFFECTS?



As with all non-surgical aesthetic treatments there is a risk of side-effects, such as minor bruising or swelling at the injection sites. These do not usually occur and generally subside quickly when they do.

Profhilo is not recommended for women who are pregnant or breastfeeding, or people who are allergic to Hyaluronic Acid.
