Profhilo® Antioxidant Creme I 50 ml

Product Information

Since Profhilo skin treatments are relatively new to the market, it is vital that you select a reputable and experienced practitioner to provide the treatment. 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?

As our bodies age, we gradually produce less collagen and elastin naturally - the cells which provide skin firmness, strength and shape. Therefore, when the number of these cells drop or weaken, your skin loses its clean and firm shape, creating creases and wrinkles. 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? Obviously some needles are involved, but exactly how many and where? Dr Taktouk walked us through what happens during a Profhilo appointment... 1.Consultation Alternatives - Also consider asking about alternative treatments and request a comparison of these, just so that you get a better understanding of the treatments available and their compatibility with you.

How it works?

Protecting the skin from premature ageing by countering pollution, poor diet, smoking and excessive UV exposure This will attract water and hydration and give you a major glow. The hyaluronic acid in dermal fillers, meanwhile, works to add volume. Botox, on the other hand, interrupts muscle function so you’re not able to crease your face and thus fine lines and wrinkles are temporarily reduced. Profhilo is ideal if you - 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. It is difficult to predict exactly what results you will achieve from this treatment since everyone is different and everyone’s bodies act differently. Broadly speaking, however, you should expect to see a smoother, clearer and more youthful complexion, with minimised wrinkles, creases and wear. It usually also makes skin look shiny, healthier and more plump - as many fillers do. The results will likely be less dramatic than some other, more invasive fillers and surgery, but still noticeable. How long do the results last? Containing Hyaluronic Acid and Salvie Haenkei extract (rich in Viatamin B and Antioxidents linked with dramatically slowing down cellular senescence or – ageing). This innovative and highly effective formula is ideal for post medical aesthetic treatments. Skin irritating treatments such as Chemical Peels, Dermal fillers, micro needling and other aesthetics treatments require a soothing post treatment solution.

As for the results, "I noticed my skin didn't feel as tight or dry about a week after the first treatment," says Anne. "By the time I went for the follow-up treatment, my skin looked brighter and less dull. My daughters all commented on how fresh I looked, and someone at work said my skin looked clearer, so clearly it's had an effect." Profhilo seeks to replenish and hydrate the skin itself and improve skin quality. Meanwhile, dermal fillers are used to add depth, dimension and shape to certain facial features. Contrary to many other injectable fillers, hyaluronic Acid is relatively unproblematic and well tolerated by the human body because our bodies naturally produce hyaluronic acid anyway, so higher levels of the acid do not trigger many potential side effects, and no long-term side effects. This is because the body metabolises and welcomes the treatment. Profhilo skin treatments are most commonly undertaken by men and women over the age of 30 suffering from saggy skin, wrinkles, and dehydrated, dull or sunken skin. This typically happens when the hyaluronic acid, collagen and elastin that our bodies produce when we are younger begins to disappear as we age, leaving aging skin looking tired, saggy and creased. Many adults feel self-conscious about these changes, especially when they are premature, and seek cosmetic procedures, like Profhilo skin injections.

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. Profhilo may come under the injectable umbrella but it serves a different function and isn’t really comparable to Botox, baby Botox or fillers. Botox constricts muscle movement to soften expression lines, and is useful across the forehead and around the eyes. Its effects can last up to six months. Dermal fillers are usually composed of hyaluronic acid and are injected into deep wrinkles to plump out furrows, with results lasting between six and 18 months, depending on the type of filler used. 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? 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 may fall in the injectable category but, just as fillers and botox are made up of different ingredients and serve different functions, Profhilo is a completely different treatment.

On the day of treatment, the patient is welcomed to the clinic and a consent form is signed. Photographs of the area of treatment are taken and added to the patient’s medical records before they are brought into the treatment room. Once comfortable, we examine the area of treatment making note of any visible blood vessels, areas of unhealthy skin or moles or lesions that we need to avoid. We then clean the skin with an anti-microbial solution.' 3. The Injections Profhilo is championed for having a lasting effect, stimulating four types of collagen, and increasing elastin. “The hyaluronic acid component goes after about a month,” explains Dr. Preema, “but the cascade of events continues.” This process, known as neocollagenesis, is the body’s reaction to injury and stimulates repair whereby fibroblasts (a connective tissue cell) go into overdrive and generate collagen. This collagen stimulation is said to continue for six to eight months for improved skin quality and a reduction in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Hyaluronic acid is renowned as a super ingredient amongst beauty brands and is commonly referred to as the secret behind flawless, youthful and hydrated skin. It is a sugar created naturally by our body and within our skin which carries water and produces a plump, refreshed look for human skin.
