PROFHILO

We were one of the first clinics in the UK to offer Profhilo treatment for increasing skin elasticity around 3-4 years ago.

Manufactured by IBSA an Italian pharmaceutical company near Naples which also manufactures Aliaxin Dermal Fillers and Viscoderm. IBSA has expertise in manufacturing products for the dermatology field especially tissue regeneration.

Profhilo is a hybrid hyaluronic Acid complex for Bio-Remodelling.

Injectable products( Dermal Fillers)  fill the role of revolumising, recontouring and reshaping but now there is a move towards developing solutions that stimulate the natural tissue and encourage neocollagenesis, long after the original product has degraded in the body. Such products  are called tissue stimulators, skinboosters, bio-rejuvenators and bio-revitalisers.

Profhilo fits into this category although it is based on hyaluronic acid technology it fits in with the stimulators, not within the fillers range. It is not a volumizing dermal filler, it is not mesotherapy. It sits between skin boosters and fillers as a Super Skin Booster in that it offers fantastic hydration, but also triggers collagen and elastin production, resulting in Bio re-modelling the skin..

Profhilo provides a slow and long lasting release of both high and low molecular weight hyaluronic acid, which generates a dual action, incorporating hydration and tissue stimulation from the low molecular weight (hydro effect) along with scaffold support with the high molecular weight, referred to as the LIFT action.

Patient reports are exciting with high positive outcomes and improvements in wrinkles, roughness, texture, brightness, appearance, hydration and tightening of the facial skin.

The face, neck, chest, inner arms, knees and hands can all be treated .

Two treatments are required with a 4 week interval ( very crepy, wrinkly skin may need three treatments) with a maintenance treatment at around 6 months.
