Skin boosters can help to gradually improve your skin’s condition, stimulating collagen production, hydrating the skin from the deeper layers, increasing elasticity, and reducing fine lines and imperfections. Unlike traditional dermal fillers, they are not injected beneath the skin to volumize or accentuate certain features of the face. Instead, they are injected directly into the dermis to hydrate and improve overall skin quality.

​

Restylane Vital, a skin booster made of hyaluronic acid in a liquid form that gets injected in the cheeks, nose to mouth, chin, neck and décolletage areas contains a unique form of stabilised hyaluronic acid (HA) to plump and hydrate the skin, with results that have been proven to last up to 6 months. Skin boosters work best to prevent marionette lines, or to correct fine lines. They have a cumulative effect, so between 3 to 6 sessions every 2/4 weeks are recommended.

What is Profhilo Treatment?

 

Profhilo is a stabilised injectable hyaluronic acid indicated for the treatment of tissue remodelling and skin laxity, free of any chemical crosslinking agents.

Anyone who presents with signs of skin ageing and is suitable for dermal filler treatment is also suitable for treatment with Profhilo.

The key to Profhilo’s popularity is a unique structure and balance of scientific properties, including a high cohesivity, that allow the product to flow freely through subcutaneous tissue and the dermis, in a way that traditional hyaluronic acid fillers cannot.

Hybrid complexing allows Profhilo to provide greater benefits than each type of hyaluronic acid it contains, without the disadvantages.

Profhilo has better active restorative capabilities than low molecular weight hyaluronic acid. However, rather than being pro-inflammatory, Profhilo is actually less inflammatory than even high molecular weight hyaluronic acid, and also has its restructuring capabilities.

 

How does Profhilo work?

Profhilo can be administered in a number of different ways although the most common and effective method is to use the BAP technique.

BAP stands for bio aesthetic points but what does this mean?

It basically means five areas on each side of the face are injected, while this will vary slightly depending on your face shape the positions are usually on the lower part of the face.

This is done to help reduce the number of injections needed and to allow the Profhilo treatment to more effectively fight the signs of ageing. Two treatments are recommended four weeks apart, with a follow-up appointment at week eight, to be repeated twice a year for optimal profhilo results.
