Profhilo

About

Profhilo is a one of a kind bio-remodelling injectable treatment that works to remodel and rejuvenate the skin by stimulating your own collagen production and elasticity, this makes the skin glow while smoothing out the wrinkles.

It was first launched in Italy in 2015 but soon became a global phenomenon with more than 200,000 patients treated across the world. Neither a skin booster nor a filler, but something in-between, Profhilo is a treatment that is perfectly safe and medically approved hyaluronic acid delivered via a small syringe of 3mm into the skin.

It feels a little like gel and flows under the skin almost like honey, stimulating four different types of collagen and elastin; the protein fibres that give your skin structure, strength, and elasticity (the things that you naturally lose with age). It’s not a booster, however, as it also has a tightening and lifting effect.

The stabilised product lasts around 28 days, during which time the slow release of hyaluronic acid stimulates the necessary proteins in the skin in a way a filler couldn’t, and attracts water into the deeper layers of the skin. As a result, the skin tissue looks significantly better.

Profhilo has won several awards including:
Winner of the Best Injectable Product in Europe, 2017 – The Aesthetic Awards
Winner of Product Innovation of the Year, 2016 – The Aesthetics Awards

Process

Profhilo is not the easiest product to administer due to its consistency. If it’s injected too deeply the hyaluronic acid can’t get to the surface of the skin to do its job of elasticating and smoothing and if it’s injected too close to the surface you end up with a face of gel-filled pimples that eventually fade into nothing.

It’s injected using a technique called BAP (Bio Aesthetic Points). The BAP technique is 5 entry points of injection for each side of the face. This technique has been proven to be anatomically safe, avoiding large vessels and nerves within the face and will give you maximised results with the minimum number of injections required.

Dr Mittal has been professionally trained in using Profhilo and her patients have come to welcome her steady hand and innate ability to deliver symmetry and balance.
Aftercare

It can make the skin glow and banish fine lines, giving you noticeably smoother, tighter skin. Those clients with deep wrinkles and sagging skin have remarked how much improved they feel, despite their initial scepticism. For cases where more repair is required, the treatment is usually repeated six months later.

The effects of Profhilo generally last for around 4-6 months after your second session. To help maintain the effects of Profhilo we recommend that you have a treatment every 6 months.

FAQs

What areas can you treat with Profhilo?

Profhilo is ideal for face, neck, arms, hands, décolletage and knees and any areas
that have volume but still require tightening, to give a more youthful appearance to the skin.

How does it work?

Once injected, Profhilo spreads and gets to work straight away. It’s essentially a layer of hyaluronic acid under the skin, which stimulates collagen and elastin production.

How long does it take to administer?

Prior to administering Profhilo we mark the area of the face using the BAP technique to ensure that we inject to get the best results with the minimum of injections.

How soon are results visible?

You will see an improvement with in a week after your first treatment and see the full results within a month. Some patients have regular maintenance treatments twice a year.

How many treatments will I need?

Dr Mittal recommends two treatments 4 weeks apart with ongoing maintenance every six months.

Does it hurt?

Not really. It’s a number of little injections, you can ask for anaesthetic cream for the injection areas, but most patients do without. Some patients feel a slight stinging sensation as the liquid is pushed under the skin.

Is there any downtime?

No, you can go back to your day with no problems. Any slight redness or swelling for 3-4 hours but sometimes swelling can last up to 24 hours after the procedure (depending on your skin) can be easily covered with mineral make-up.
