How does profhilo work?
Profhilo is an award-winning treatment indicated for treating skin laxity and restoring a more youthful look to the face, neck and decolletage. Profhilo promotes the restoration of firmness, tone and elasticity of the tissues in an authentic way, leading to dynamic multilevel remodelling of the extracellular matrix in terms of elasticity and support as well as maintaining and promoting the normal vitality of fibroblasts, keratinocytes and adipocytes. Profhilo can reduce the appearance of common skin concerns including lines and wrinkles, facial volume loss, loose skin and a dull/dry complexion. Results are a smoother, tighter and more lifted appearance.
Profhilo has unique product characteristics which are: natural hyaluronic acid, no BDDE or other chemical agents and low inflammatory response.
It is injected just underneath the surface of the skin where it disperses quickly and reacts with your own tissue to instantly boost hydration. Over the next four weeks phase two kick in as it goes to work boosting elastin and collagen production. This effectively remodels the skin and giving it a plumper, smoother and firmer appearance.
Profhilo can be used on its own or in conjunction with other aesthetic treatments. It is suitable for both men and women. For a real duo treatment of skin improvement, combine with polynucleotides.
