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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

Your procedure time can take up to 30 minutes.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
