Profhilo: Before & After Treatment
Are you looking for a non-surgical solution to rejuvenate your skin and combat signs of ageing? At Clarion Medical and Aesthetics, we offer advanced treatments that deliver exceptional results. One such revolutionary treatment is Profhilo. This injectable treatment is designed to improve skin quality, enhance hydration, and stimulate collagen production, resulting in a more youthful and radiant appearance. Let's delve into what Profhilo is, how it works, and what you can expect before and after treatment.
What Is Profhilo?
Profhilo is a cutting-edge injectable treatment that targets skin laxity and signs of ageing. Unlike traditional dermal fillers, Profhilo is composed of hyaluronic acid, a natural substance found in the body that aids in hydration and tissue repair. This treatment is designed to stimulate the production of collagen and elastin, improving skin firmness and elasticity. Profhilo is suitable for various skin types and can be used on the face, neck, and hands to enhance overall skin quality and achieve a more youthful appearance.
How Does Profhilo Work?
Profhilo works by injecting a high concentration of hyaluronic acid into specific skin points. These bio-aesthetic points allow the treatment to spread evenly and stimulate the production of collagen and elastin. The result is deep skin hydration, improved skin texture, and enhanced skin firmness. Unlike traditional fillers, Profhilo does not just fill in lines and wrinkles; it rejuvenates the skin from within, providing a natural and long-lasting improvement in skin quality.
Benefits of Profhilo Treatment
Deep Hydration: Profhilo provides intense hydration to the skin, improving its texture and appearance.
Increased Elasticity: By stimulating collagen and elastin production, Profhilo enhances skin firmness and elasticity.
Natural Results: The treatment offers a natural look, improving skin quality without the overfilled appearance some fillers can cause.
Versatile: Profhilo can be used on the face, neck, and hands, addressing multiple areas of concern.
Minimal Downtime: The treatment is quick and requires minimal recovery time, allowing you to return to your daily activities almost immediately.
Preparing for Profhilo Treatment
Initial Consultation
The first step in preparing for Profhilo treatment is scheduling an initial consultation with our experienced aesthetic doctor. During this consultation, we will assess your skin condition, discuss your aesthetic goals, and determine if Profhilo is the right treatment for you.
Pre-Treatment Guidelines
To achieve the best results from your Profhilo treatment, it's important to follow certain skincare recommendations. These may include avoiding excessive sun exposure and using gentle skincare products to ensure your skin is in optimal condition before treatment.
Inform your doctor about any medications or supplements you are taking, as some may need to be adjusted prior to treatment. This is to ensure the safety and efficacy of the procedure.
The Profhilo Treatment Process
What to Expect During Treatment
Profhilo treatment involves a series of small injections into specific points on the skin. A numbing cream may be applied beforehand to minimise any discomfort. During the procedure, the aesthetic doctor will carefully inject the Profhilo solution into strategic points to ensure even distribution and optimal results. The injection technique used for Profhilo is designed to maximise the spread of the product and stimulate collagen and elastin production effectively.
Pain Management
Most patients report minimal discomfort during the Profhilo treatment. The use of a numbing cream helps to alleviate any pain, making the procedure comfortable and well-tolerated. In some cases, patients may experience a slight stinging sensation as the product is injected, but this is usually brief and manageable. Our aesthetic doctor will ensure you are as comfortable as possible throughout the treatment.
Duration of the Procedure
The entire treatment session usually lasts around 30 minutes, making it a convenient option for those with busy schedules. You can easily fit the treatment into your day without significant downtime. The quick nature of the procedure means you can even schedule it during a lunch break and return to work or other activities immediately afterward.
Aftercare and Recovery
Immediate Post-Treatment Care
After the Profhilo treatment, you may experience some redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection sites. These side effects are temporary and typically subside within a few days. It's important to avoid touching or massaging the treated areas to allow the product to settle properly. You should also avoid strenuous activities, extreme temperatures, and sun exposure for at least 24 hours following the treatment to minimise the risk of complications and ensure optimal results.
Long-Term Care
Skincare Routine
Maintaining a good skincare routine is essential for maximising the results of your Profhilo treatment. Use gentle, hydrating products to keep your skin moisturised and protected. Incorporating products that support collagen and elastin production can further enhance the benefits of Profhilo. Our aesthetic doctor can recommend suitable skincare products and routines tailored to your specific needs.
Lifestyle Adjustments
Adopting a healthy lifestyle can further enhance the benefits of Profhilo. This includes staying hydrated, eating a balanced diet rich in vitamins and antioxidants, and avoiding excessive sun exposure. Regular exercise and adequate sleep also play a crucial role in maintaining skin health and overall well-being. By making these lifestyle adjustments, you can help prolong the effects of the treatment and maintain youthful, glowing skin.
Follow-Up Treatment
For optimal results, a follow-up treatment may be recommended. Typically, Profhilo is administered in two sessions spaced four weeks apart. Depending on your individual skin condition and goals, additional maintenance treatments may be advised every six months. Your aesthetic doctor will discuss the appropriate treatment plan based on your individual needs and goals to ensure you achieve and maintain the desired results.
Profhilo Before and After: Results and Expectations
Initial Results
You can expect to see an improvement in your skin's hydration and texture within a few days of the treatment. The skin will appear more radiant and plump, with a noticeable reduction in fine lines and wrinkles. The initial results can be quite subtle, but as the hyaluronic acid continues to stimulate collagen and elastin production, you will see more significant improvements over time.
Long-Term Benefits
The long-term benefits of Profhilo include increased collagen and elastin production, leading to firmer, more youthful-looking skin. The treatment continues to work over several months, providing lasting improvement in skin quality. Patients often report that their skin feels smoother, more hydrated, and has a healthier glow. Regular maintenance treatments can help sustain these benefits and keep your skin looking its best.
How Long Do Results Last?
The results of Profhilo treatment can last up to six months or longer, depending on individual factors such as skin type, age, and lifestyle. Regular maintenance treatments are recommended to prolong the effects and ensure continued skin rejuvenation. Your aesthetic doctor will work with you to create a personalised treatment plan that meets your needs and helps you maintain your youthful appearance.
Common Side Effects
Common side effects of Profhilo treatment include redness, swelling, and bruising at the injection sites. These side effects are usually mild and resolve within a few days. Some patients may also experience mild tenderness or a slight itching sensation in the treated areas. These reactions are typically temporary and should not cause significant discomfort.
Comparing Profhilo with Other Treatments
Profhilo vs. Dermal Fillers
Unlike dermal fillers, which add volume to specific areas, Profhilo works by hydrating and rejuvenating the entire skin. Dermal fillers are typically used to enhance specific facial features, such as lips or cheeks, by adding volume and contour.
Profhilo, on the other hand, spreads evenly throughout the skin, providing overall improvement in skin quality, hydration, and elasticity. This results in a more natural and refreshed appearance without the overfilled look that can sometimes be associated with fillers.
Profhilo vs. Botulinum Toxin
While Botulinum Toxin targets muscle movement to reduce wrinkles, Profhilo focuses on improving skin texture and hydration. Botulinum Toxin works by temporarily paralysing muscles to prevent the formation of dynamic wrinkles, such as frown lines and crow's feet.
Profhilo, however, enhances the skin's overall condition by stimulating collagen and elastin production. Both treatments can complement each other for a comprehensive anti-ageing approach. For instance, Botulinum Toxin can be used to address dynamic wrinkles, while Profhilo can improve skin quality and hydration for a more youthful and radiant look.
