You might have heard of Profhilo, which has become very popular in the field of “injectable skin boosters”. It is purported to increase skin hydration by 20%. In addition, it has unique lasting effects as it is bio-stimulatory. Even though it degrades over 6-9 months, Profhilo is able to kickstart the production of collagen and elastin in the skin by up to 12 times. In essence, the skin is more elastic and smooth while fine lines are reduced.
How Profhilo Works
Profhilo targets wrinkly face and neck skin from aging or weight loss. Some patients may also be bothered by creases over areas such as the inner arms and thighs. The best part is that it is a very safe skin treatment, as it is composed of 100% hyaluronic acid, which is one of the essential components of our own skin. A few small injections of Profhilo are made just under the skin surface and each point will evenly spread over 2 to 3 days. It is thus simple to administer with minimal recovery time.
There is an initial course of 2 injections separated 1 month apart. Additional treatments could be recommended (6-12 months later) for people with more severely damaged skin as they continue to age.
