Whenever your skin is losing its elasticity and firmness as you get older, it is time for a profihilo treatment, which is an injectable anti-ageing treatment made from hyaluronic acid.
In the old treatments of skincare, they just plumped and filled the wrinkles, whereas in profhilo treatment they release hyaluronic acid (HA) slowly which helps to produce collagen and elastin, and it will improve hydration, skin tone, and ultimately the appearance of fine lines. The result will last up to 6 months.
How does profhilo work?
Hyaluronic Acid is hydrophilic which means it draws and holds water from your body so that it would function as a hydrator, not a filler. If you are at your wits’ end with your old-looking skin, this treatment is the answer to your disappointment.
During 3 to 5 days of treatment, you can see the effect of profhilo treatment
During the next few weeks, the treatment stimulates the production of collagen and elastin which make your skin tightened. Due to the fact that the levels of collagen, elastin, and Hyaluronic Acid drop as you turn 30, the profhilo helps you to get rid of old-looking skin, wrinkles, and the fine lines on your skin. You can see the ultimate result of profhilo usually in 2 months after the second treatment.
What are the benefits of profhilo?
You can improve your skin tone, texture, hydration, and even radiance by profhilo treatment. It guarantees your skin to be firm. It increases the elasticity and health of your skin, and it also gives you soft-looking skin. Mostly, profhilo is used for facial areas, but it can also be used to improve the skin of the neck, knees, arms, and hands.
What does profhilo treatment involve?
Profhilo is injected below the surface of your skin during 2 sessions every four other weeks. After the injection, profhilo disappears under your skin, and it starts improving hydration. It should be noted that there is no need to massage your face. For treating your face only 10 injections are needed. Since profhilo is absorbed within a 2 cm radius of its injection site.
As has been mentioned before, the result of profhilo lasts for six months, but you can continue the course of injection after six months to maintain the result.
How long does the recovery take?
The recovery does not last for a long time, and you should be able to get back to your normal life and activities quickly. However, it would be really wise to stay away from physical strain and sports at least for the first day after the treatment.
You had better not have a sauna or steamy bath for the first few days. For the first few days after the treatment, try not to be in exposure to intense sun or UV light.
What are its side effects?
Just like any non-surgical aesthetic treatment, there is a small risk of side effects, but that is nothing at all serious to be worried about. You may see minor bruising or swelling at the injection site. These side effects are really rare, and if they appear they are not going to last for a long time.
Profhilo is not a good treatment for pregnant women and those women who are breastfeeding, and also for those who are allergic to Hyaluronic Acid.
