About

Profhilo®

Your face is the first thing that people notice about you. But when your

appearance no longer reflects the way you feel on the inside, it may be

time for a change.

In time, your skin loses it’s full, firm, youthful appearance. This is

the result of the natural ageing process. Over time, your skin becomes

thinner or loses its natural elasticity. As a result, it becomes loose

and starts to wrinkle

The prospect of treating sagging skin and wrinkles without long

incisions and downtime, i.e. with no recovery period, has great appeal

to the majority of patients who are looking for subtle improvements or

are not ready for a traditional facelift. The new and effective

anti-ageing skin care beauty treatment for younger looking skin is

Profhilo®.

Profhilo® (Skin stimulator) counteracts skin laxity via reconstructing

action of collagen and elastin fibres of the dermal matrix. It contains

a high concentration of hyaluronic acid and is being marketed as being

useful in the treatment of skin laxity.

The unique characteristics of remodelling skin laxity is easily obtained

in only two sessions at our clinic, with a one-month interval. Profhilo

is used for the treatment of skin laxity of the face, neck, decollete

and hands. This breaking new technology does miracles for your saggy

skin. This anti-ageing treatment is almost painless.

Procedure -

Before making the injections with an ultra-fine needle, your surgeon

will apply a numbing cream to the area, ensuring any pain is kept to a

minimum. In some cases a local anaesthetic is used. The procedure takes

about 20-30 minutes to complete. It is injected in the superficial

subcutaneous layer. The technique used for Profhilo injections is known

as BIO AESTHETIC POINTS (BAP). In this technique, the 5 Points injection

site are marked for each side of the face and then Prophilo is carefully

injected at these sites. This BAP technique is created for the lower

third of the face due to its predisposition to dermal atrophy caused by

the aging process. It promotes the production of collagen and elastin

underneath the skin which gives the skin a more youthful texture.

Risk and complications -

Profhilo is safe when performed by an experienced doctor. The

risk/complications are rare by these injections which may include the

followings:

The common risks are: temporary redness or bruising, swelling, pain.

The rare risks are: infection, skin discolouration, bumps and nodules.

Downtime and recovery -

Profhilo causes very minimal sensation and discomfort during the

procedure. It has no downtime and recovery period because it is also a

non-surgical procedure like other fillers. You can resume your normal

activities immediately after treatment, however you should try to avoid

the sun for the rest of the day and also it is advisable to avoid

massaging the treated areas, or exercise and sauna.

Result -

Patients can expect increased firmness, smoothness, elasticity and an

overall improved quality of the skin by improving laxity of the tissue.

Prophilo can be used on the hands, neck and under your eyes. Results can

be seen between 1 week to 1 month and the effect lasts up to six months.

Successful results depend on health or age of the skin, quality of

product used as well as the correct placement of the product. To get the

desirable results, the treatment should be performed with one month

interval, depending on the level of ageing. If the procedure is not

repeated, the skin will gradually return to its pre-treatment

condition.Touch-ups and maintenance treatments can then be prescribed by

your doctor according to your body’s response to the treatment
