Indications
What this treatment is suited for
- Declining skin elasticity on the face, neck, or hands
- Dry skin lacking radiance
- Early fine lines without pronounced wrinkle depth
- A wish to improve skin quality without changing volume or contour
Mechanism
How the treatment works
High concentration without cross-linking allows the product to spread through the tissue after injection. It binds moisture while acting as a stimulus on fibroblasts, which then form collagen and elastin. The method therefore both hydrates and improves structure.
Procedure
The treatment procedure
The product is placed at five anatomically defined points per side of the face, deliberately located away from larger vessels. Two sessions four weeks apart are standard. A session takes approximately 30 minutes.
Aftercare
After the treatment
The bumps at the injection points usually settle within a few hours. No make-up for twelve hours, no sports, sauna, or tanning for 24 hours.
Risks and side effects
Visible bumps at the five injection points are normal immediately after treatment and short-lived. Redness and small bruises are possible. Rarely, swelling lasting several days or inflammation occurs.
Contraindications
Not suitable during pregnancy and breastfeeding, in the presence of infection or inflammatory skin conditions in the treatment area, or with certain autoimmune conditions.
Questions about the treatment
Frequently asked questions
Does Profhilo® change my facial contour?
No. Because the product is not cross-linked, it forms no volume in place but spreads diffusely. What is treated is the quality of the skin, not its shape.
How many sessions are needed?
Two sessions about four weeks apart are usual, followed by a top-up after around six months. The price applies per session.
What are the small bumps after the treatment?
These are the small raised bumps at the five injection points. They are normal and usually settle within a few hours as the product spreads through the tissue.
