Who doesn't want fresh, dewy skin? There's a popular injectable treatment out there that can get you just that.
It's not invasive and it doesn't give you that puffed up look everyone hates. But it's not the same as other dermal fillers, either. This is a treatment that works with your skin's natural processes to improve appearance.
The result? Results that look and feel natural. We're talking about Profhilo, an injectable treatment that is one of the newest in aesthetic medicine.
If you're wondering how this dermal injection treatment works, what's involved and what you can expect, we've got you covered.
Sounds good? Let's get started.
Wait, there's more…
Profhilo isn't your regular run-of-the-mill dermal filler treatment. Injectables work by adding volume to the skin. Profhilo is a bit different. It's a bio-remodeling treatment that works below the surface of the skin to enhance quality.
It's like this…
Say you want to decorate your home. A traditional filler is like buying furniture. Profhilo treatments are like remodeling your entire home from the inside out. They don't just fill wrinkles. They hydrate, firm, and rejuvenate the skin.
Profhilo injectable contains hyaluronic acid in a super-high concentration. This triggers your skin to produce collagen and elastin naturally.
You can look forward to the following:
Because this injectable actually makes your skin better, the changes are gradual and look completely natural.
Beauty treatments in all forms have become more popular than ever. Americans received more than 6 million procedures in 2023, according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons.
In particular, non-surgical and minimally invasive procedures are a hot trend. People want treatments that give them natural results without downtime or surgery. Profhilo falls into that category.
You might be wondering what to expect when you get your first Profhilo session.
Expect the first session to begin with a consultation. A certified practitioner will examine your skin and determine if Profhilo treatment is a good fit.
Profhilo treatment is a series of injections in certain points around your face. In most cases, there are about 5 points per side. This is known as the BAP or Bio Aesthetic Points method.
But here's the best part about Profhilo sessions:
Profhilo takes only 20-30 minutes. Most people describe it as a completely tolerable procedure with minimal discomfort.
Typically, 2 sessions 4 weeks apart is the standard treatment course. This allows for your skin to adjust and the second session reinforces the treatment and results.
Let's get into the best part…
Profhilo doesn't work overnight. You can start seeing visible results a few weeks after your sessions. But it's a gradual process.
After a Profhilo treatment, you should notice that your skin is:
The changes should be most visible around 2-4 weeks after your second session. Profhilo results typically last 6 to 9 months, but this can vary depending on your skin.
Of course, don't expect the world immediately after your first treatment. This skin treatment actually works with your body's natural processes.
Want to know how to get the best out of your treatment?
Caring for your skin is important after any procedure. The good news is that Profhilo doesn't require significant aftercare.
Follow these simple guidelines:
Don't touch the treatment areas for at least 6 hours. Avoid heavy exercise for 24 to 48 hours. This can cause sweating and disrupt the treatment.
Stay out of direct sunlight and avoid extreme heat for a few days. This means avoiding saunas, steam rooms, hot yoga and other sources of intense heat.
Most importantly, stay hydrated. Water helps your skin take advantage of the hyaluronic acid in the injectable to maintain a plumper, hydrated appearance.
Here's some good news…
Profhilo is ideal for people in the early stages of aging. If you're starting to notice some mild laxity in your skin, fine lines or loss of glow, this injectable can help.
In most cases, a Profhilo candidate will have:
The beauty is that Profhilo isn't just limited to faces. Treatments can be used on the neck, décolletage, and hands as well.
Ah, the big question…
A Profhilo session usually costs $280 to $600 per session, depending on location and clinic. Two sessions are the standard introductory protocol.
Keep in mind that you're not just getting a simple injectable. Profhilo works to enhance your skin from the inside out.
The results can last 6 to 9 months. This is a significant time commitment for any beauty treatment, but that's the point. Profhilo has long-lasting results.
As someone who spends hundreds of dollars a year on skincare, you know that the majority of skincare products only work on the surface. Profhilo treatment can actually change the skin itself.
Want to see even better results?
Profhilo works with other treatments. As a bio-remodeling treatment, it is the ideal foundation for other skin enhancement.
Many people have seen good results by using Profhilo with other injectables and procedures. This can include:
The most important thing is working with a practitioner who knows how these treatments work together.
One of the best things about Profhilo treatment is that there is typically minimal to no downtime.
The most common side effect is small bumps at injection points. These will disappear within hours.
Some people experience slight swelling or redness, but this usually disappears within a day. Profhilo can easily be fit into your lifestyle.
OK, but how will you know if it's working or not?
One of the first things you'll notice is that your skin is more hydrated. It will feel more supple and look dewier. This can happen in a few days.
Then over time, the skin will start to tighten. Fine lines will soften and overall texture will improve.
The biggest sign is when people comment on how good you look without being able to say why. When the changes are natural, people notice.
Profhilo is a different approach to getting and maintaining radiant, youthful skin. It's not a simple procedure and it doesn't just add volume to your skin.
It's a commitment of time and money. But if you're interested in a natural and non-surgical procedure, Profhilo is worth considering.
Of course, the best way to know if it is the right option for you is to schedule a consultation with a qualified practitioner who is experienced in Profhilo treatment.
Your skin deserves the best and with proper care, Profhilo can help you achieve that healthy glow you've been looking for.
