HYDRATION BOOSTER

Great for those seeking a natural-looking solution for skin rejuvenation and anti-ageing.

What is the Profhilo®?

Profhilo® is an anti-ageing treatment from Europe that recently hit the aesthetic scene, now available in Singapore. The benefits of Profhilo® treatment include hydration of the skin, improved skin smoothness and improved skin elasticity. While the primary ingredient of Profhilo® is Hyaluronic Acid (HA), it is neither a skin booster nor a filler. Instead, it can bio-stimulate 4 types of collagen, elastin and adipose cells to address skin laxity and signs of ageing. After Profhilo® treatments, patients expect to see more youthful and fuller-looking skin, smoothening out wrinkles and reducing skin roughness.

Which areas can Profhilo® treatment be administered?
 
 

Profhilo® can be used on both facial and body areas. However, it gives its best results when used around the cheeks, neck and jowl areas.

Some areas where Profhilo® can be used include:

 
Upper face and eye area
cheeks and lower face
neck and décolletage
 
chest and abdomen
arms and hands
knees and elbows
 

 

What is Profhilo®?
 
 

Profhilo® possesses one of the highest BDDE-free stabilized concentrations of HA (64mg/2ml), more than skin boosters and fillers. However, rather than adding volume to the skin, it improves the skin's condition and is used to treat fine lines, problems with skin laxity and signs of ageing.

 

Profhilo® makes use of a patented technology known as NAHYCO Technology, where 32mg of high molecular hyaluronic acid (H-HA) and 32mg of low molecular HA (L-HA) bind together through thermal cross-linking to form Hybrid Cooperative Complex Hyaluronic Acid. This hybrid complex allows Profhilo® to go deeper than traditional skin boosters by stimulating collagen and elastin in the skin, both crucial aspects of having a firm and healthy-looking skin.

 
 
Why is Profhilo® different?
 
 

Profhilo® has extensive spreadability that allows it to diffuse across the face through subdermal patterns when injected. This allows for the benefits of being non-localized and wide-spreading.

 

The 100% pure hyaluronic acid compound is also completely biocompatible, it triggers very low inflammation within the skin tissue, and its high cohesive property gives excellent skin tissue integration.

 

Profhilo’s duration in our skin is much greater than traditional non-cross-linked HA fillers. It lasts for about 28 to 45 days in our skin, while non-cross-linked HA fillers last for only a single day!

 
 
How does Profhilo® work?
 
 

Profhilo®, like other hyaluronic acid treatments like skin boosters, hydrates the skin once injected. Once injected, it promotes healing by supporting keratinocyte viability.

 

Profhilo® stimulates skin cells and increases collagen and elastin production by up to 12 times more than traditional hyaluronic acid compounds!

 

It also has a further effect of stimulating adipose tissue. This improves fat tissue renewal, ensuring recovery and giving your skin a fuller look.

 
 
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
 
 
What is the Profhilo® treatment like? Is there any downtime?
 

Prior to Profhilo® treatment, a topical numbing cream will be applied to the treatment area. Unlike skin boosters, which require multiple injection points, Profhilo® uses unique BAP (Bio Aesthetic Points) technique, with just 5 injection points per side of the face per treatment.

Injections are very tolerable with only mild discomfort experienced by patients. There is very little downtime and injection bumps will disappear within a few hours.

Sometimes, there might be some mild bruising around the injection points, but these generally clear up within few days.

 
How many treatments of Profhilo® do I need?
 

In general, patients will only require 2 treatments of Profhilo® to see significant results, with a 1 month apart in between. For patients suffering from very loose skin, a third treatment might be needed*.

After a 6 months cycle, you might need to go for a repeat Profhilo® treatment in order to maintain a good clinical outcome.

*Sessions may vary depending on individual.

 
Am I a suitable candidate for Profhilo®?
 

Profhilo® is a suitable treatment for anyone who has any signs of ageing and wants to improve their skin’s overall elasticity and hydration. It has also been shown to work well on men, who generally have thicker skin.

Profhilo® delivers great results as a treatment on its own or in combination with other aesthetics treatments including lasers, fillers, neuromodulators, HIFU or threadlifts.
