Profhilo® treatments are available in Gauteng at the Morningside, Parkhurst, Rosebank, Bedfordview, Fourways, West Rand, Irene, Lynnwood and Brooklyn clinics, as well as in the Western Cape at Cape Quarter, Claremont, Constantia, Century City, Stellenbosch, Paarl and Willowbridge clinics, and Kwa-Zulu Natal at the Ballito, Durban and Umhlanga clinics.
Profhilo® uses an incredibly pure form of synthetic Hyaluronic Acid, which gets injected strategically into the upper layers of the skin using a very small needle. The HA used in Profhilo® is very fluid compared to HA used in Dermal Fillers, which are much more viscous. This is beneficial as it effortlessly disperses into the skin, creating a ‘scaffolding’ action on the tissues, hydrates, and begins the bio-remodelling process to improve skin laxity.
This effect occurs within 3-5 days post-treatment, and a course of 2 sessions, four weeks apart, is advised to see the maximum effects of Profhilo®. Once results are achieved, a course of 2 treatments can be repeated every six months or as needed to maintain the results.
Profhilo® is a revolutionary 'beneath the skin' Hyaluronic Acid moisturising treatment made with the patented NAHYCO® technology. It is a very new, cutting-edge technology making it quite unique from Dermal Fillers and Skin Boosters. It has introduced a new injectable category into the market named bio-remodelling.
Bio-remodelling is the process that is triggered underneath the skin, to create new collagen and elastin, which helps combat the signs of ageing skin such as lines and wrinkles, crepiness, and dull, thinning skin. It also assists with improving skin laxity and encourages overall skin rejuvenation.
As one of the highest concentrations of HA on the market, Profhilo® not only boosts and hydrates the skin, it also remodels ageing and sagging tissue. This is useful due to the levels of collagen, elastin and Hyaluronic Acid in the skin rapidly declining from age 30, resulting in signs of ageing such as fine lines, wrinkles and lacklustre skin. Profhilo® acts to reverse some of these changes.
The most common areas of treatment are the face and neck. However, it can also be performed in the following areas;
- Décolletage
- Hands
- Arms
- Knees
Profhilo® delivers great results as a treatment on its own or combined with other aesthetic treatments available at Skin Renewal.
Profhilo® works on skin quality rather than muscle movement which causes wrinkles (Botox treats this) or for the loss of volume in the fat pads and filling specific lines (fillers treat these concerns).
The Profhilo® treatment is suitable for men and women and is suitable for patients of all ages and skin types.
The type of person who would benefit from this treatment would be someone who suffers from;
- Dull, tired dehydrated Skin
- Volume loss
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Skin laxity and crepe like texture
- Sagging skin
