Profhilo

Profhilo is a unique bio remodelling injectable treatment that works to remodel your skin with visible results after only 2 treatments. The procedure stimulates collagen production and elasticity.

As we age, our skin can take on a loose, wrinkled and crepey-looking appearance and our efforts to cover up and improve its appearance can often end up making it more noticeable.

Profhilo works by stimulating your own production of collagen and elastin within your skin which, over time, aims to give you a tighter and more youthful appearance rejuvenating your skin from the deep layers up to the surface of your skin. Your skin tone and texture will also be improved along with the overall hydration of the skin.

Although Profhilo contains hyaluronic acid – a substance that occurs naturally in the body, it is not dermal filler and does not plump or add any volume to the areas treated. Profhilo instead is a unique treatment rivalling dermal fillers with its quick treatment time and only 5 injection points for each side of the face. Profhilo is a great choice for the overall improvement of the texture and quality of the skin without adding significant volume.

Profhilo treatment is available at our clinics in London Harley Street, Birmingham, and Northampton.

Profhilo 100% HA (Hyaluronic Acid) solution which spreads within the skin to remodel the skin structure, nourish the dermal cells and treat skin laxity restoring the firmness of your skin.

Any area of the body could be treated with Profhilo but we most commonly treat the face, neck and hands. Profhilo is suitable for men and women from the age of 30 with no upper age limit.

We do not provide Profhilo treatments to anyone under 18 years old at The Private Clinic and we may ask for ID at the time of your appointment.

The Procedure

Profhilo Treatment

Profhilo is injected using a unique specialised technique called BAP (BIO AESTHETIC POINTS). The BAP technique is 5 entry points of injection for each side of the face. This technique is proven to be anatomically safe avoiding the large vessels and nerves within the face and will give you maximised results with the minimum number of injections required.

FAQs

Where can Profhilo be used?

Profhilo is most commonly used for the face, neck and hands but it can be used on all body areas.

How long does a Profhilo treatment take?

Your procedure time can take up to 30 minutes.

Does Profhilo treatment hurt?

Profhilo is an injectable treatment but it uses a very fine needle so you should not be able to feel too much. We do offer anaesthetic numbing cream for patients who request it.

What aftercare does Profhilo require?

Aftercare for Profhilo is similar to that of other injectable treatments. You can use a cold pack to reduce any redness or swelling and keep hydrated to ensure you get the best results from treatment.

Does Profhilo have any side effects?

The risk of side effects after Profhilo is low but you may experience mild redness, pain, itching, discolouration or tenderness at the injection sites but they will quickly fade.

Is there any downtime after a Profhilo treatment?

Profhilo does not require any downtime but we advise you avoid exercise for 24 hours, extreme temperatures for two days, dental procedure for at least 2 weeks and no further cosmetic treatment for at least 2 days.

How long does the effects of Profhilo last?

The effects of Profhilo last for around 4-6 months after your second treatment. To help maintain the effects of Profhilo we recommend that you have a treatment every 9-12 months.

Am I suitable for Profhilo treatment?

Profhilo is suitable for anyone who is over 18 years of age who are experiencing issues with skin laxity. It is not suitable for anyone who pregnant, breast feeding or those who have a known hypersensitivity to hyaluronic acid.

What can Profhilo treat?

Profhilo is used to treat skin laxity and is ideal for those suffering with loose, wrinkled and crepey looking skin on the face, neck and arms for example.

When can you see the results from Profhilo?

Results can be seen by 4 weeks after your first treatment but many patients may be able to see improvement after 1-2 days post treatment and some may not see an improvement until after their second treatment. The full effects of Profhilo treatment are not seen until 8-10 weeks after your first treatment.

How many Profhilo treatments will I need?

To achieve the best results you will need two treatments spaced a month apart. To maintain the results of Profhilo it is recommended that you have another treatment every 9-12 months.

How much does Profhilo cost?

The cost of Profhilo treatment starts from £325.

You will need two treatments spaced one month apart.

Consultations with our expert doctors or nurses are £50 however this cost can be redeemable against the price of treatment should you wish to book following your consultation.

Our prices are competitive and we only use experienced and qualified medical professionals at The Private Clinic to carry out Profhilo treatment. We believe our patients deserve the utmost safety in our care and we are committed to offering reliable, effective results.

What is the difference between Ameela and Profhilo?

They both share a similar function of improving the skin’s condition rather than adding volume, as dermal fillers do. However, they are distinct products. Ameela is a bio-stimulant gel comprising polynucleotides, while Profhilo is composed of a concentrated mixture of pure hyaluronic acid.

At The Private Clinic, we recommend Ameela for tightening saggy and dehydrated skin as it helps to improve microcirculation and increase collagen and elastin production in the skin. Profhilo in comparison is best used to help improve skin tone, texture, and elasticity.
