FAQ
The science bit...
PROFHILO® BODY is a hybrid complex of two different molecular weights of Hyaluronic Acid in high concentration. PROFHILO® BODY intervenes in the physiological process of skin ageing. It has been designed for TISSUE REMODELLING and IMPROVEMENT IN SKIN LAXITY of the inner arm and the abdomen.
As a stabilised product Profhilo lasts in the skin for approximately 28 days. During this time, there is a slow and sustained release of hyaluronic acid encouraging the stimulation of four types of collagen and elastin, resulting in significant hydration, tightening and lifting of the skin.
Is it for me?
If you have lacklustre, sagging, loose skin this treatment would be a great option for you.
Profhilo delivers great results as a treatment on its own or in combination with other aesthetics treatments performed in the clinic.
How safe is it?
Your safety is paramount to us and Dr Sabrina only uses products that she would happily use on friends and family. When administered by a medical professional with in depth knowledge of facial anatomy, Profhilo is a very safe treatment with very few side effects (all of which are temporary). These include mild bruising, swelling, allergic reaction and infection. This will be covered in detail in your bespoke consultation.
What happens during the procedure?
Dr Sabrina will follow the company’s own patented exclusive injection technique, which involves superficial injection of Profhilo into multiple sites of the chosen treatment area.
A body patch is then applied to soothe and hydrate the skin and you will be given a body cream to firm, tone and hydrate the skin as part of your at-home skincare routine. This 3-step process allows for optimal, transformational results. Loose and crepey skin is tightened, hydrated, and rehydrated, with full results visible after 2-3 treatments.
You will need to attend the clinic for a second session 4 weeks after your initial session. Some individuals may require a third session for optimum results.
