What Is Profhilo?

Before we get to the most frequently asked question about Profhilo, how long does it last? Let’s summarise exactly what Profhilo is and what it can do. 

Profhilo is a noninvasive skin treatment that rejuvenates skin by stimulating collagen and elastin production. It uses the slow release of hyaluronic acid (a naturally occurring substance) to hydrate, firm and rebuild younger-looking skin cells. 

Unlike dermal fillers, Profhilo is regarded as a bio-remodeller that stimulates collagen and elastin production. By working at a cellular level, the treatment adds volume and stretches the skin, improving fine lines and wrinkles for a firmer, more youthful appearance. Dermal fillers tend to remain localised, but the HA in Profhilo ensures an even spread after injection, providing more effective rejuvenation.

Key benefits include improved hydration, firmness and elasticity, as well as reduced fine lines and wrinkles.

How Does Profhilo Work?

Profhilo is injected just below the skin’s surface at specific points on the face to stimulate optimum levels of collagen and elastin. Treatment is usually given over two sessions, four weeks apart. The serum quickly disperses, boosting hydration and smoothing fine lines and wrinkles for improved skin texture.

Profhilo is the first BDDE-free stabilised injectable hyaluronic acid-based product for treating skin laxity. It has one of the highest concentrations of HA on the market, which makes it effective at hydrating skin and reducing common signs of ageing, such as wrinkles and sagging. The injection spreads under the skin, creating a lifting and tightening effect, and provides long-lasting, natural-looking results.

What Can Profhilo Do?

This treatment hydrates, lifts and tightens the skin while reducing fine lines and wrinkles. The high levels of HA help restore elasticity and improve overall skin texture, resulting in smoother, firmer skin.

It can also rejuvenate areas of the body beyond just the face:

• Face: When used in key areas of the face, it targets fine lines and improves overall texture.
• Neck: When injected into neck areas, it restores firmness and elasticity.
• Décolletage: It will revitalise the chest area, addressing crepey skin.
• Hands, arms & knees: These often-overlooked areas can also be treated for full-body rejuvenation.

Profhilo – How Long Does It Last?

Impressed by the versatility of Profhilo? How long does it last is the next logical question to ask. 

Typical results last 6-12 months, but certain factors can affect their longevity. These include age, skin type and lifestyle factors such as diet and smoking. Another factor is the quality of the injectables used. Research the clinic to ensure that your chosen one uses the highest-grade products. 

Most patients notice their skin becoming hydrated and glowing after 1–2 weeks. Natural collagen and elastin production is stimulated two to three weeks later, helping tighten the skin. The full results are generally seen after 4 to 6 weeks.

If you are happy with these results, you should book follow-up sessions, as these will prolong the anti-ageing effects. 

Are There Any Side Effects?

The treatment is non-invasive and has minimal side effects. It is also biodegradable, enhancing and improving the skin. 

Generally speaking, no downtime is required after this treatment, and most patients can go about their regular daily routine immediately afterwards. However, some patients experience some redness and raised areas at the injection site immediately after the treatment, but these are usually gone within a few hours. 

To reduce your chances of experiencing any unwanted side effects, you must tell your doctor of any underlying medical conditions or any medications that you are prescribed. A reputable clinic will take a thorough medical history during your initial consultation to ensure your safety. 

After your treatment, you can apply ice packs to the area to help minimise bruising and reduce swelling. However, you should also avoid heat-inducing activities like strenuous exercise, spas, saunas and hot showers for 24 hours afterwards.
