Profhilo Treatment North London | Regents Park Aesthetics

What is Profholio and how does it work?

Profhilo is neither a mesotherapy product nor a dermal filler. It represents a new category of treatments in improving skin quality. The production procedure of Profhilo begins with a simple mix of 32mg HA-H (high molecular weight Hyaluronic acid) and 32mg HA-L (low molecular weight Hyaluronic acid). The mixture is then put through thermal stabilisation, rather than chemical additives, to achieve cross linking. The complex obtained has the following unique qualities:

high HA concentration (64mg/2ml)
extensive spreadability, cohesivity and thus tissue integration
low viscosity
no added chemical agent or BDDE
low inflammatory response

Extensive research on effects of Profhilo, especially since 2015, has produced data showing remodelling of the extracellular matrix with an increase in the expression levels of type I and type III collagen in fibroblasts and type IV and VII collagen in keratinocytes, as well as increased expression of elastin. These data confirm enhancements in the skin texture, elasticity and hydration, with a tightening and lifting effect. Profhilo can be used as a stand-alone procedure or to prepare patient for treatment with hyaluronic acid dermal fillers for best outcome.

Intended use

Tissue remodelling and improvement in skin laxity of face, neck and body.

How is Profhilo Administered?

Skin is cleaned with an antiseptic solution and injection sites are marked. Product is injected superficially, in the subcutaneous layer, as a bolus of 0.2ml per point e.g 5 injection points on each side of the face. This will create slight ‘bumps’ at sites of injection which may last up to 24hrs but dissipates as the product spreads along the plain of tissue.

Recommended dose

Two sessions with a one month interval followed by a third session within the next four months:

Treatment 1 (2ml)
1 months later, treatment 2 (2ml)
Within next 4 months, treatment 3 (2ml)
Additional within the same year for problematic areas (2ml)

Side Effects and Aftercare

ProfHilo and Viscoderm | Regents Park Aesthetics

Viscoderm Hydrobooster

Viscoderm was developed by the same company that manufactures Profhilo. Like Profhilo, Viscoderm is a stabilized hyaluronic acid injectable product able to offer a dual function; a biological process of hydration and tissue restructuring, together with a mechanical action to stretch the most superficial wrinkles. It is ideal for dynamic areas of the face, such as forehead lines, crows feet and smokers lines.

It is also the ideal choice for people who do not like the idea of dermal fillers because it contains no chemicals and pure hyaluronic acid

Benefits of Viscoderm Hydrobooster

Improving elasticity, radiance and smoothness of the skin
Stretching superficial wrinkles for those with moderate to advanced signs of ageing
Particularly indicated for the dynamic areas of the face (perioral, periocular, forehead)
Biorestructuring activity prolonged over time and safety guaranteed by the specific formula
