Profhilo Treatment in London

Both Profhilo and fillers are made up of hyaluronic acid. The hyaluronic acid component is a water-binding molecule that is a naturally occurring substance produced by human skin, and as a person ages, it produces less. Hyaluronic acid is made up of chains that draw and holds water.

With fillers, the chain is modified slightly and crosslinked to clump together and stay within the injection site to create volume. But volumising the skin may cause skin laxity and prevent a dewy-looking texture.

With a skin-booster injectable such as Profhilo, the hyaluronic acid chain is less modified to spread and absorb water along the way evenly. Therefore, the natural hyaluronic acid moisturising treatment provides intense hydration to the skin without volumising the face.

Everyone ages differently and has different needs and preferences, so the treatment is not specific for a certain age. However, most experts agree that Profhilo is best to start in the early 30s because that is when most people begin to see their first signs of skin ageing.

The Profhilo injections may be performed on the face, neck, hands and body, reducing the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and skin laxity.

At NEO Health Clinic, we understand that everyone is unique and may require different preferences.

Only two to three treatment sessions are administered every four weeks apart.

Each of our sessions consists of a series of injections to the treated area.

The procedure usually takes 30 minutes with little to no recovery time.  

Profhilo treatment is not painful, but every individual’s pain tolerance can differ. Some people may feel a slight sting as the needle is injected. Besides that, this treatment is quick and easy. As with all injectable treatments, there is a risk of bruising where the injection site occurs.

Besides staying outside in extreme weather conditions, cold or hot, it is important not to massage or manipulate the treated area. After the treatment, you may return to doing ‘light’ daily activities immediately after your procedure.

The hyaluronic acid in Profhilo lasts approximately 28 days, but in this period, it gradually draws water molecules into the skin and stimulates collagen and elastin production for long-lasting effects.

However, the moisturising properties of Profhilo can be visible in a few months as the hyaluronic acid gradually draws water molecules to the skin. It considerably impacts the face’s tone, texture, and moisture during that time.

Profhilo is a very safe treatment with no long-term adverse effects. You might experience some natural redness or bruising after the injection and isn’t anything to feel concerned about. Profhilo has been administered to over a million clients worldwide, with no reported cases of serious complications.
