What is Profhilo ?
Profhilo aids in dermal tissue repair, addressing acne scars, age-related tissue changes, and compromised adipose tissue. Tissue remodelling is achieved through two sessions (4 weeks apart) using various aesthetic injection techniques in the superficial subcutaneous layer.
Profhilo, an acclaimed anti-aging treatment, is designed to rejuvenate the face and neck. This innovative procedure utilizes stabilised hybrid cooperative complexes, developed through Mahyco hybrid technology. While injectable, Profhilo is not classified as a traditional 'filler'. It effectively addresses age-related concerns such as fine lines, wrinkles, volume loss, skin laxity, and dullness by enhancing underlying tissue volume.
The treatment employs the BAP technique, targeting five key anatomical areas of the face. Once injected, Profhilo integrates with the tissues, promoting a robust dermal structure. This process boosts collagen and elastin production, resulting in a remodelled, fuller, and more resilient complexion.
Treatment plans typically involve one or two sessions, followed by a maintenance treatment after a few months. Results generally manifest within 8 weeks, yielding a smoother, tighter, and more lifted appearance. While primarily used for facial rejuvenation, Profhilo is also effective for the neck, décolletage, and hands.
Studies show that 70% of patients experience at least one grade improvement on the Facial Volume Loss Scale. Significant enhancements in skin hydration are noted after one treatment, with improved elasticity after two sessions. Patient satisfaction levels markedly increase following the second treatment.
Profhilo represents a novel approach to skin restoration and laxity improvement. It is the first injectable hyaluronic acid for skin remodelling and the first stabilised product created without BDDE (thermal process).
Industry experts have lauded Profhilo as "a true breakthrough in anti-ageing medicine", "a major advance for difficult to treat areas", and "a real game-changer", among other accolades.
PROFHILO FAQ
AM I SUITABLEFOR PROFHILO?
Many people, both men and women, are often found to be suitable for Profhilo. The treatment is frequently requested by adults of all ages, ranging from those in their 30’s to those in their 50’s.
IS PROFHILO TREATMENT SAFE?
Profhilo treatment is considered to be a safe treatment that is FDA approved. Subtle, natural looking results are produced by the treatment’s ability to remodel the deeper skin tissues, rather than to ‘fill’ the space and replace the substances that have been lost.
DOES PROFHILO HURT?
Profhilo is an injectable treatment and therefore may be a little uncomfortable upon application. At Doctor Nyla we offer the application of a topical numbing prior to treatment, to help minimise any sensitivity.
ARE THERE ANY PROFHILO SIDE-EFFECTS OR RISKS?
The after effects that are usually experienced following Profhilo can include: swelling, bruising and redness. In less common cases, a person may develop an infection, allergic reaction or nerve damage, however the IBSA declares that this is rare.
WHAT IS THE PROFHILO AFTERCARE?
It is not common for a person’s day to be significantly disrupted as a result of the Profhilo treatment. It is important, however, for you to ensure that you do not touch the treated area for around 6 hours after treatment – including applying make-up. The experts at Doctor Nyla also recommend that you avoid strenuous activity for up to 24 hours.
HOW DOES PROFHILO WORK?
The use of the bap technique identifies the 5 anatomically receptive areas of the face with an absence of large vessels and nerve branches, therefore, minimising the risks while maximising the diffusion of the product in the malar and submalar areas. 0.2ml of Profhilo is then injected at the superficial subcutaneous layer.
WHAT COMPLICATIONS ARE INVOLVED?
As with any injectable there are minor risks including bruising and swelling, as well as infection, allergic reaction, vascular compromise and nerve damage; although IBSA claims these are rare.
HOW QUICKLY CAN I EXPECT TO SEE AN IMPROVEMENT?
After four weeks patients reported having improvement in lines and tightness of their skin. After eight weeks there was a definite lifting and tightening in the skin.
HOW REGULARLY SHOULD I GET PROFHILO?
At the beginning you will receive two treatments with a one month interval, followed by a maintenance treatment after two months depending on the level of aging. Effects will last for six months.
WHICH AREAS OF THE BODY CAN BE TREATED WITH PROFHILO?
You can get treatment on your face, neck, décolleté, hands, and arms.
IS PROFHILO FILLER OR REVITALISER?
NEITHER. Profhilo is something new and indicated for skin bioremodeling. Therefore, defining Profhilo in either of these two areas is a losing strategy.
