FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How does Profhilo treatment work?
A skin laxity treatment, Profhilo® uses patented technologies engineered for ‘skin remodelling’, a
revolutionary concept of ‘curling’ wrinkles rather than ‘filling’ them. It effectively stimulates
production of both your natural collagen and elastin to renew your skin from within.
What’s the difference between Profhilo vs. Dermal Fillers?
Compared to dermal fillers, Profhilo enhances stem cell reproduction. It restores both skin and fat
layers to their natural state, and stimulates the body to produce four collagen types. Unlike dermal
fillers it does not provide volume. Profhilo can also be used in a number of areas, where fillers are
unsuitable such as body areas.
What can I expect during my treatment?
After a pre-treatment consultation Dr. Amar will apply a numbing cream to the area to make the
treatment more comfortable. The first 2ml of Profhilo is then injected using a technique called BAP (BIO AESTHETIC POINTS), the BAP technique is 5 entry points of injection for each side of the face. This technique, created for the lower third of the face due to its predisposition to dermal atrophy caused by the ageing phenomena: reduces the number of injection sites reduces the number of visits.
Are there any side effects?
Immediately after treatment there may be some redness at the injection site and you may
experience some itching, tenderness and swelling in the treated area. This will generally disappear
within 24-hours. How many treatments are required? For best results we recommend injecting 4ml of Profhilo, 2ml in the initial treatment and a further 2ml one month after the first treatment. In some cases, where the signs of ageing are more extreme, you may require up to 8ml of product spread over 4 treatments.
How long does it last?
Results can be immediate. Client’s have noticed visible, natural-looking yet noticeable rejuvenation
of the areas treated straight away after treatment. Increased firmness, elasticity and an overall
improved quality of the skin can be visible for up to six months’ post-treatment.
What results can I expect to see?
Increased firmness, elasticity and an overall improved quality of the skin can be visible for up to six
months’ post-treatment, However, this does depend upon the degree of correction required, your
age and lifestyle. For best results a second treatment of 2ml is recommended one month after the
first treatment. Maintenance treatments can be scheduled according to your body’s response to treatment.
