As we get older, a range of concerns such as lines, wrinkles, dehydration, dullness, volume loss and uneven tone and texture can all take their toll on our complexion. As most of us would like to look as youthful and healthy as possible, it’s only natural to wish to improve the appearance of our skin when we notice these changes. Traditional dermal filler treatments can offer significant results for some facial concerns, but when we are looking to treat the skin of the entire face for a more overall improvement, another treatment may be more effective. This treatment is called Profhilo® and is available here at &Eve.
Profhilo® is a revolutionary, powerful hyaluronic acid (HA) injectable skin remodelling treatment to assist in the overall rejuvenation and replenishment of the skin’s structure. Profhilo® is used in four key areas of the face to replenish moisture, encourage new collagen formation and encourage tighter, smoother skin.
Profhilo® stimulates four different types of collagen and elastin deep within the skin tissues. Unlike traditional dermal fillers, it doesn’t sit at specific sites within the skin, but works on a cellular level to it to rejuvenate and revitalise the tissues. The slow release of high-quality hyaluronic acid (HA) means that over time, your skin will recover its bounce and youthful appearance and lines and wrinkles can be reduced.
As Profhilo® encourages deep tissue rehydration and restoration, it can solve a number of skin concerns including:
Profhilo® can treat a number of areas on the face and the body. The most commonly treated areas include:-
If you are noticing signs of skin ageing and are otherwise fit and healthy, a course of Profhilo® treatments could be the solution for you. However, before we can agree to administer any treatment at &Eve, we will request that you attend an initial consultation to discuss the treatment and aftercare and check that there are no medical reasons that you could not undergo the procedure.
As with any injectable procedure, there are a few possible minor side-effects to consider when planning your treatments. These include:
All these side-effects are quite normal and will subside within 24 to 72 hours.
Prior to your Profhilo® treatment a topical anaesthetic will be applied to the skin to minimise discomfort. You may experience a slight stinging sensation during your treatment.
We usually advise 2 to 3 treatments, 4 weeks apart, depending on your skin quality and desired results.
Results can vary from patient to patient. Most patients see more hydrated skin with fewer lines and wrinkles for up to 6 months after their initial course of treatment. At that time a further treatment session may be required to ensure the effects are maintained.
