Profhilo

After the age of 30, we start losing a significant amount of collagen, elastin and Hyaluronic Acid. This means we start to see the signs of ageing in the form of fine lines, wrinkles and slightly lack-lustre dull skin. At this age, we should start to consider conserving our skin, therefore Profhilo is advised for individuals from around the age of 30 upwards, who want to target ageing skin.

Profhilo is also an excellent choice for you if you do not want to add volume to specific areas as it instead provides volume and hydration across the skin, giving an overall rejuvenated appearance.
There is no age upper limit either. In fact, in older patients, we have often seen more dramatic results. However, if you are over 60 your treatment does need to be managed carefully – for example, if there are deep folds present or the skin has lost elasticity, then combination treatments that include Profhilo may be more suitable. This is why facial aesthetic consultation prior to treatment is so important.
Profhilo® delivers very subtle results. However, if you’re looking for a lifting of the face, neck or any other area, then a combination approach with fillers, threads or surgery could be recommended.

At the age of 30, we start to notice subtle changes in our skin because we start losing a significant amount of collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid. This is the time when many people would consider their first anti-wrinkle injections as the first lines start to appear. If you feel your facial tissue quality has dropped significantly, and that you may look older for your age, but are not ready for dermal fillers yet, Profhilo may be the best treatment for you.

The results from Profhilo generally last up to 6 months. However, the results can vary from patient to patient.

After just a single course of Profhilo, which involves 2 injectable treatments 4 weeks apart, you can expect to see intense hydration and firmness to the skin. It makes the skin glow and fine lines can disappear. You’ll notice smoother, tighter skin. Even for those with very wrinkled skin, an improvement in the texture is always present. The treatment can be repeated after six months in cases or topped up every 4-5 months to maintain the results.
