Profhilo® Antioxidant Creme I 50 ml

Product Information

It's worth noting that Profhilo will not add volume or change facial structure as fillers do. The way the hyaluronic acid chains are formulated means that Profhilo spreads like a gel and becomes integrated into the skin. Who should have this treatment? Everyone’s skin is different so some people may notice an improvement after the first part but normally, after the second session is when you’ll start to see results,” says Dr. Preema.This visible difference happens around three to four weeks after the second treatment - when that initial collagen and elastin stimulation starts to show at the surface. It’s then that you may notice plumper skin, increased firmness, and softer lines and wrinkles. Therefore, the first and perhaps most important stage of any cosmetic procedure is choosing the right person for the job. The best way to do this is to research a range of different clinics and consultants offering the treatment, and compare them to find the best treatment provider for you. Consultation

Although numbing cream can be used, many clinics prefer not to (it can make the appearance of bruising worse) which means ten injections to the face is going to smart a little.

As with any injectable, it pays to have a comprehensive consultation with your doctor beforehand to see if Profhilo is right for you and will give you the results you’re looking for. The good news is Profhilo works for everyone, at any age, with any skin type. “I’ve got patients of all different ages having Profhilo,” says Dr. Preema, who advises that starting in your mid-thirties is advantageous. Where will the treatment be performed - It is important to understand where the treatment will be performed. More often than not, treatments of any kind should be administered in a clean, accredited and insured premises, particularly when the treatment involves injection. If you are getting the treatment injected into your cleavage, for example, you might ask about the availability of private spaces to do so. It is also highly unlikely that individuals will have an allergic reaction to the treatment since Profhilo is free from synthetic chemicals and is only based upon natural body acids. As a result, no allergy tests are required prior to treatment.

It is recommended that after completing the initial two treatments, that you repeat the treatment every six months and the results will usually last this long,' says Dr Taktouk. 'Some patients notice their skin starting to become duller towards the six month point and others love the treatment so much that they come in sooner than six months and that is also fine.' Who should and shouldn't get Profhilo? Dermal fillers are a popular treatment used to add volume and dimension to specific facial features. Most commonly, dermal filler is injected into features such as the cheeks, lips and chin of clients to enhance or modify certain features and improve confidence. Since dermal fillers are used to alter the face, not necessarily youthen it, dermal fillers are increasingly popular amongst young adults. Profhilo treatments are among the most safe remodelling treatments available owing to the fact that Profhilo is very biocompatible as it is not mixed with other chemical agents and is made from an acid that is naturally produced and stabilised by our bodies anyway. It carries a high concentration of hyaluronic acid, which means it bears little risk, if any to those that have the treatment. Results - It is also worth asking what is in place if something were to go wrong. For example, what recourse would be available to you if something went wrong during the treatment. What guarantee can they provide you if you are unhappy with the results? Although you are still able to get further cosmetic treatments on that area alongside the Profhilo treatment, we recommend not doing so until at least 2 days after the treatment is complete since this may also affect the treatment’s functioning.

We often get asked, how long does Profhilo take to work and the answer is generally that you will notice the best results after your second treatment. Profhilo treatment is carried out in two stages. Profhilo uses a hybrid of high-molecular-weight hyaluronic acid and low-molecular-weight hyaluronic acid," explains aesthetician Dr Lauren Hamilton. This basically allows slow release into the top layer of the skin (epidermis) to hydrate, while stimulating the production of plumping elastin and collagen, which creates a volumising and lifting effect in the lower layer (dermis), and in turn, tightens the skin. After this six month period or when you begin to see the treatment’s effects wearing away, it is recommended that you can top up treatments if you wish to continue. How much does Profhilo Treatment cost?

The best position for sleeping after Profhilo is with your head slightly elevated and facing upwards. Try adding an extra pillow or two. This will ensure any swelling you’ve experienced has the best chance of subsiding, and ensure bruising is kept to a minimum. What’s the Difference between Profhilo, Botox, and Fillers?

Does Profhilo Hurt?

It doesn't. Botox's role in cosmetic dermatology is to soften and prevent wrinkles by weakening the muscles around a certain area, such as the eyes or forehead. Fillers are mostly used to replace lost volume and to lift or contour the face. Profhilo plays a different role, one that's totally skin-based. While rebuilding your collagen and elastin will plump and tighten skin over time, Profhilo isn't designed to add volume to the face or change its structure the way traditional fillers do. “You will see improvement in superficial lines, thanks to the intense hydration and long-term improvement in deeper wrinkles thanks to fresh collagen and elastin, but it’s nothing like Botox or fillers like Restylane or Voluma,” Dr. Alexandrides explains. See Sam have his third Profhilo treatment here at our Birmingham Este clinic. As you can see, he does find certain injections a little more painful than others. If you’re concerned about pain – simply opt for numbing cream (like Sam should have, right?). Can you have Botox and Profhilo at the Same Time? The anti-oxidant effects of the cream will nourish the skin while working as a screen for free radicals. All-the-while protecting the skin from oxidative stress factors, like pollution, smoking and poor diet. However, if you’re looking for a more drastic lift and remodelling treatment, you may want to look into derma fillers or finding more advanced surgical procedures to get your desired results. How does Profhilo work?

No, post-injection massages are not necessary to spread the treatment throughout the facial tissue since this occurs naturally through facial and muscle movements. In our clinic, we consult with our patients first to ensure that they are suitable for the treatment. We discuss the potential side effects of Profhilo alongside the specific benefits that that particular patient might expect to see. We often supplement our discussions with written information and offer our patients a follow up appointment for the treatment itself. For new patients we encourage this "cool off period" so that they can really consider their treatment options.'General questions about the procedure - It might be worth asking things like: Will it hurt? Do you use numbing cream? How long will it take in total? Should I do anything to prepare? To rejuvenate the skin by improving hydration levels, texture and overall radiance. It also promotes a firmer, plumper complexion by boosting elastin and collagen production. "Anyone who has noticed signs of ageing from skin laxity and fine lines will benefit from this treatment," says Dr Hamilton. Does Profhilo really work?
