#seo: profhilo treatments

What is Profhilo? 

Profhilo is a hyaluronic acid-based anti-aging aesthetic medicine treatment designed to reshape the skin for rejuvenation of areas of the face or body. This new method of injecting hyaluronic acid acts as a moisturizer for the skin, helping to improve texture, deeply hydrate and slow down the visible signs of skin aging, without the need for surgery. With its tensor effect on the face, the Profhilo treatment is able to naturally and effectively bio-stimulatethe body's ownproduction of collagen and elastin , boosting radiance and firming facial areas. 

Who is Profhilo for? 

Intended for people with dehydrated skin, lacking firmness and losing elasticity, Profhilo injections are also particularly recommended for complexions lacking radiance, tired and aging skin, but also for people prone to skin aging in areas such as the neck or décolleté.

It is recommended from the age of 30 to treat dull, dehydrated skin. It's a non-invasive treatment whose effects are rapidly visible and can last up to 6 months. It is also suitable for people who prefer cosmetic treatments or are not yet ready to go beyond traditional aesthetic medicine treatments.

Danger and contraindications

As with conventional hyaluronic acid injections, Profhilo injections are not recommended in cases of autoimmune disease or infection in the area where the product is injected. It is also not recommended for pregnant or breast-feeding women

And as with any aesthetic treatment, Profhilo carries a risk of side effects such as slight bruising or swelling in the injection areas. However, these effects disappear within 24 hours of their appearance. 

What are the differences between hyaluronic acid and Profilho injections? 

In contrast to filling treatments based on hyaluronic acid or Botox injections injections used to improve a specific area of the face, Profhilo acts as a stimulating product. Indeed, it is first and foremost a natural moisturizing treatment, highly dosed and formulated from highly purified hyaluronic acid of 2 different molecules and molecular weights. In short, rather than altering features, Profhilo helps redensify skin to bring out its radiance and vitality, limit skin slackening and plump up by stimulating collagen production. The hyaluronic acid it contains is dispersed evenly over the entire face to give the appearance of plumper, firmer, intensely moisturized skin. 

 

#seo: before and after profhilo

How does a Profhilo treatment work?

 

Profhilo takes place in two stages and requires at least two sessions for optimum results. After the first session, the injections begin to stimulate four different types of collagen and elastin , gradually releasing hyaluronic acid. This is the activation phase. During the second treatment session, 3 to 5 weeks after the first, results are instantly visible. 

Stabilized hyaluronic acid froma Profhilo treatment is injected into several areas of the face: 

  • On the chin, 

  • On the nasolabial fold, also known as smile lines

  • On the upper cheeks

  • Under the eyes

  • On either side below the ears

Fanny's opinion of the Profhilo method 

The thing that really boosted my skin's plumpness and radiance was testing the Profhilo treatment offered by Innerskin on the advice of a friend: 5 injections of hyaluronic acid (in very liquid form) on each side of the face to deeply moisturize and stimulate collagen production, and the results are clearly visible. It feels like mosquito bites for 24 hours, leaving the skin supple, plump and luminous. I recommend it a thousand times over!
