Profhilo ®

Introduction Video

An introduction to PROFHILO treatments by Dr Yasmin Tayeb.

What is PROFHILO ® ?

Profhilo is a light weight hyaluronic acid skin booster which works to improve skin texture, complexion, hydration and elasticity. It is injected superficially into the layers of the skin as an internal moisturiser to improve overall skin quality. As well as hydrating the skin, it also stimulates collagen and elastin formation. Please note this is not a filler.

A minimum of two treatment sessions are necessary to achieve the desired results.

Do I need PROFHILO ® ?

Profhilo is a lovely treatment which can improve skin quality in everyone. It is a great way to hydrate, lift and plump the skin where it is looking tired and dehydrated.

It can also be used for the very fine lines and wrinkles where other treatments, such as anti-wrinkle injections or fillers may not be suitable.

Profhilo can be used on many parts of the body, including, face, neck, décolleté, hands etc.

What to expect from your appointment?

A full consultation takes place to assess what the main concern is. A full facial assessment is completed to assess the concern and how best to address it and the best method to achieve the desired effect. The procedure, aftercare instructions, and costs are explained to the patient before we begin.

The Procedure

The skin is cleaned thoroughly first followed by numbing cream to make the treatment more comfortable. The results begin to show after approximately 4 weeks. A second profhilo treatment will be organised after 4 -6 weeks. Few patients may require a 3rd session of treatment.
