Is Profhilo a dermal filler?

Profhilo is not the same as a dermal filler.

Although both contain hyaluronic acid, Profhilo does not have the same thick viscosity as a dermal filler. In contrast, Profhilo is a water-like gel with a similar constancy to honey and is injected in small amounts across the face. It spreads beneath your skin, stimulating collagen and elastin to improve skin tone, texture, and elasticity. The result is an overall more youthful, hydrated, glowing complexion.

Profhilo will enhance an entire area rather than fill one specific line or fold like a dermal filler. Profhilo can flow freely through the deep skin layers in a way that dermal fillers cannot, and it won't produce lumps and bumps. Profhilo is an excellent product for areas like the neck, hands, or arms where fillers are generally not used.

More about Profhilo

Who is the treatment suitable for?

Profhilo is an anti-ageing hydration treatment that helps boost hydration beneath the skin's surface and kickstart the natural production of collagen and elastin. It is suitable for anyone who would benefit from increased hydration, more collagen, or elastin. Typically clients are aged 30-55 and want to look younger and for their skin on their face, neck, hand, or arms to look better.

What areas are treated with Profhilo?

Profhilo is a rejuvenating treatment that can smooth fine lines, wrinkles, skin crepeiness and improve skin texture in the following areas:
• Face
• Neck
• Decolletage
• Arms (bingo-wings)
• Elbows
• Hands
• knees
• Smokers lines and fine lines around the mouth
• Under-eye wrinkles
• Fine lines around the eyes
• Wrinkly cheeks
• Crepey hands
• Abdomen (stomach)

What results can I expect?

Your skin will look better hydrated almost immediately after treatment. The client won't see the collagen elastin's benefit until at least six weeks after your first treatment. The best results will appear 4-6 weeks after your second treatment.

How many treatments will I need?

To achieve the results, you will need 2 Profhilo treatments four weeks apart initially and then a top-up at six months to maintain the effect.

Are there any side effects?

Profhilo was launched in Italy in February 2015, and it's been in use worldwide ever since. Over 300,000 patients have been treated so far, with no adverse reactions reported. Side effects (e.g., redness, pain, swelling) are mild and temporary. From a safety perspective, it is made from ultra-pure, natural hyaluronic acid and stabilised without chemical cross-linking agents; this reduces the risk of adverse reactions, so the downtime is minimal.

The client can only undertake injectable procedures like Profhilo after you attend a face-to-face consultation with one of our doctors, who will discuss a full list of cautions and contraindications.

What should I do after my Profhilo treatment?

• No makeup for 6 hours after treatment
• Refrain from any facials for two weeks
• No heavy exercise for 24 hours after treatment
• Be gentle when washing the filled area of your face, neck, chest, or hands
• Try to avoid unnecessary touching of your face for the first 24 hours after treatment

Will the Profhilo treatment make me look frozen?

No, not at all. Profhilo does not fill anything or restrict facial movements in any way. It is a very subtle, natural-looking result.

Is the Profhilo treatment popular?

It has become a sensation since being launched in Europe in 2015, and clients seem to like the natural-looking results it provides; it has proved very popular at Dr Leah Clinics is described as a 'game-changer' in the facial aesthetics industry, winning multiple awards, including:

• 2016 Winner – Aesthetics Awards Product Innovation of the Year

• 2016 Commendation – Aesthetics Awards Injectable Product of the Year

• 2017 Commendation –Injectable Product of the Year

Which clinics provide the treatment?

We offer Profhilo London and Profhilo Essex treatments at our respective clinics. At each location the Profhilo treatment process is exactly the same.

Covid vaccinations notice / disclaimer

SARS –COV-2 (Covid–19 infection), as well as the Covid–19 vaccinations, are both highly challenging to our immune system by over-stimulating its response. Therefore both (Covid-19 infection, as well as the vaccine) can lead to complications after injection. Nodules and local reactions can occur within weeks, months, or even years after the treatment when our immune system is challenged.

So far generally there is a low incidence of such cases reported. Your safety is paramount to us and therefore we are advising you the following:

• Do not have Dermal Filler, Profhilo, or anti-wrinkle injections injections 2 weeks before your planned vaccination or 3 weeks after.

• If you have been infected with Covid-19, do not have Dermal filler, Profhilo, or anti-wrinkle injections injections for the first 3 weeks of being symptom-free.

• If you develop any symptoms after the treatments, please contact our clinics immediately. Our doctors will advise you further. As medical practitioners, our doctors can prescribe the necessary medication if required.

At Dr Leah Clinics, you’re in safe hands
