Ageing is a natural process that alters our skin’s appearance and texture. As we age, the production of essential skin components like collagen and elastin begins to decline, leading to common skin issues such as sagging, fine lines, and a loss of skin firmness. These changes may be exacerbated by external factors, including sun exposure, pollution, and lifestyle choices, making the pursuit of a youthful, radiant complexion seem increasingly elusive.
Among many skincare treatments, Profhilo has become an ideal choice for preventing signs of ageing. Its innovative approach restores the skin’s natural vitality and elasticity and complements acne scar treatments. Profhilo’s deep skin hydration properties and ability to stimulate collagen and elastin production can significantly improve skin texture, which is beneficial for those looking to reduce the visibility of acne scars while combating the signs of ageing.
Dr Justin Boey, Medical Director of Sozo Clinic, offers Profhilo treatments as part of a comprehensive approach to skin health, enhancing skin texture and helping reduce the visibility of acne scars alongside addressing age-related concerns.
What is Profhilo?
Profhilo is a skincare treatment designed to remodel skin tissue and combat ageing signs. Unlike traditional dermal fillers that add volume, Profhilo works by delivering concentrated hyaluronic acid directly into the skin, improving skin tone and texture. This injectable treatment stimulates collagen and elastin production, producing natural-looking skin rejuvenation.
- Improves Skin Hydration: Enhances and retains moisture within the skin, providing a hydrated and glowing complexion.
- Boosts Collagen and Elastin Production: Promotes the natural synthesis of collagen and elastin, leading to firmer and more elastic skin.
- Reduces Fine Lines and Wrinkles: Smoothes out creases and diminishes the appearance of fine lines for a youthfully supple skin surface.
- Enhances Skin Texture and Tone: The treatment creates an even skin tone and a smoother texture for a revitalised appearance.
- Minimal Downtime: The procedure involves minimal recovery time, making it suitable for those with busy lifestyles.
Dr Boey’s expertise in injection techniques ensures that Profhilo is delivered at optimal depths, enhancing the skin’s texture, hydration, and elasticity.
Who Is Profhilo For?
The ideal candidates for Profhilo are individuals seeking to address signs of ageing and enhance their skin’s overall quality without resorting to more invasive procedures. This treatment is especially beneficial for those experiencing sagging skin, as it stimulates collagen and elastin production, leading to firmer, more toned skin. Individuals suffering from a loss of skin hydration will also find Profhilo advantageous, as it effectively improves moisture levels, resulting in a healthier and more radiant complexion.
For patients aiming to improve skin laxity, restore hydration, or refine texture, Profhilo presents a non-invasive solution. Dr Boey customises Profhilo treatments to suit each patient’s needs, ensuring natural results and a rejuvenated appearance without added volume.
How Does Profhilo Work?
Profhilo works by stimulating collagen and elastin production through a slow release of hyaluronic acid (HA), which results in smoother and more hydrated skin. This effective treatment utilises a unique formulation of two types of HA: L-HA and H-HA.
As a hybrid complex, L-HA is released gradually to deeply hydrate the skin, delivering the Hydro effect. Meanwhile, H-HA provides a stable HA structure within the dermis, allowing for volumetric replacement and delivering the Lift effect.
With one of the highest concentrations of HA in the market, Profhilo spreads evenly beneath the skin’s surface, enhancing overall skin quality and addressing issues like skin laxity. It is the first BDDE-free injectable Hyaluronic Acid treatment. It remains active in the skin for roughly 28 days, accelerating the synthesis of four types of collagen and elastin. The treatment biologically increases the expression levels of type I, III, IV, and VII collagen in keratinocytes, thus refining and rejuvenating the skin’s texture and elasticity.
Cost of Profhilo at Sozo Clinic
The cost of Profhilo treatment begins at $1,000 per session. Factors influencing the overall cost include the number of sessions recommended for optimal results, which can vary based on individual skin conditions and concerns.
Some clients may require additional sessions to achieve the desired outcome and supplementary treatments like lasers and other injectable treatments for comprehensive skin enhancement. Prices may also vary depending on the expertise of the practitioner and any additional services included in the treatment plan.
Profhilo Treatment Procedure in Sozo Clinic
Profhilo offers a solution at Sozo Clinic for those seeking to enhance skin hydration and address sagging. Our approach ensures a smooth treatment experience:
Pre-Treatment Consultation
The pre-treatment consultation is crucial for evaluating your skin’s need for Profhilo. During the initial consultation, Dr Boey assesses skin hydration, laxity, and other factors to determine Profhilo’s suitability.
Following the assessment, the practitioner will explain how Profhilo can benefit your skin, discussing its benefits, risks, and expected outcomes. This evaluation also focuses on your skin type, the severity of pigmentation, and any underlying conditions such as acne scarring. This allows you to make an informed decision.
During the Treatment
Patients can expect a comfortable experience during the Profhilo procedure. The treatment involves specific injection points to distribute the product effectively. Patients might feel mild sensations at the injection sites, with sessions typically lasting about 30 minutes.
The procedure aims to improve skin texture and elasticity, providing a refreshing boost to your skin health.
Post-Treatment Care
After receiving Profhilo, it’s important to follow these post-treatment care guidelines to maximise results:
- Maintain hydration by drinking plenty of water to support overall skin health.
- Use gentle skincare products and avoid harsh ingredients that might irritate the skin. Products that promote hydration and skin repair are recommended.
- Keep the treated area moisturised to facilitate healing and enhance the effects of Profhilo.
- Avoid strenuous activities for the first 24 hours to minimise any potential swelling or discomfort.
- Refrain from intense physical activities or exercises for at least 24 hours to prevent aggravating the treated area.
- Schedule any recommended follow-up visits with your practitioner to monitor progress and adjust the treatment plan.
- Wear sunscreen to protect the treated area from harmful UV rays.
- Get adequate rest and sleep to support your body’s natural healing processes.
- A nutrient-rich diet can aid skin recovery and enhance treatment outcomes.
