What is PROFHILO treatment?
Profhilo is new type of anti-aging injectable consists of hyaluronic acid to improve skin elasticity and firmness. Different from fillers, it improves the skin without adding volume. It causes significant tightening and lifting effects, and works best with devices such as Sylfirm, Ultherapy, TempSure and FaceScuptors.
PROFHILO and Skin Bioremodeling
With its patented NAHYCO Hybrid technology which forms hybrid co-operative complexes (HCC), and one of the highest concentrations of hyaluronic acid (64mg/2mls), these unique properties allow Profhilo to be very biocompatible, stable, and last longer. It has a low inflammatory profile coupled with pro-healing properties backed by clinical studies. After injection, Profhilo immediately distributes itself smoothly and reacts with our tissues to boost hydration. Over the next 4 weeks, it further boosts our skin’s production of elastin and collagen, giving us a plumper, smoother and firmer healthy-looking skin. It is best suited for people who display early signs of aging such as fine lines, mildly sagging, and dry skin.
