Summer is a time when we want our skin to look its best, but the harsh sun, high temperatures and increased exposure to environmental pollutants can have an effect on our complexion. Finding a treatment that effectively tackles these summer skin challenges while providing natural-looking results can be a triumph. Enter Profhilo, a ground-breaking injectable treatment that has been making waves in the aesthetics industry for some time now.
Unlike traditional fillers and anti-wrinkle injections, Profhilo works by deeply hydrating the skin and stimulating collagen and elastin production, leading to significant improvements in skin tone, texture and elasticity. In this blog, Face Medical aims to emphasise the benefits of Profhilo, explaining why it has become a ‘go-to’ treatment for summer skin rejuvenation.
Deep hydration and moisture retention
One of the primary benefits of Profhilo, particularly during the summer, is its ability to deeply hydrate the skin. Profhilo is composed of high concentrations of hyaluronic acid (HA), a naturally occurring substance that is responsible for maintaining the skin’s moisture levels. The summer sun, heat and humidity can dehydrate the skin, increasing the chance of dryness and the development of wrinkles and fine lines. Profhilo replenishes HA levels, providing intense hydration from within. Not only does this help to volumise the skin, it also helps to restore moisture balance, resulting in a smoother and more supple complexion that’s perfect for the summer months.
Enhanced collagen and elastin production
One of the standout features of Profhilo is its potential to deliver natural-looking, subtle results. As Profhilo spreads evenly throughout the skin, it enhances overall skin quality without changing facial expressions or contours. This makes it an ideal treatment option for those looking to improve their skin’s appearance without the ‘overdone’ look that can sometimes occur with traditional fillers. When undergoing this treatment at Face Medical, the outcome is a refreshed and rejuvenated appearance that looks completely natural.
Minimal downtime and discomfort
Profhilo is a minimally invasive treatment that only requires a few injections per session. These injections are strategically placed to allow the product to disperse evenly across the skin. The procedure itself is relatively quick, typically taking only 30 minutes, and involves minimal discomfort. At Face Medical we find that most patients experience only mild redness or swelling at the injection sites, which often subsides within a few hours. With no significant downtime, patients are also able to return to their summer activities immediately after treatment.
Treats a range of areas
While Profhilo is commonly used on the face, it is also highly effective in treating other areas of the body that are prone to signs of ageing, especially those exposed during summer. These areas include: neck, decolletage, hands and arms. The versatility of Profhilo allows it to address skin laxity and hydration issues in multiple areas, providing a comprehensive solution for overall summer rejuvenation.
Long-lasting effects
Another significant benefit of Profhilo is its long-lasting results. While individual outcomes may vary, many patients enjoy the benefits of Profhilo for up to 6 months or longer. This extended duration is due to the treatment’s ability to stimulate on-going collagen and elastin production. For optimal results, a follow-up session is often recommended 4 weeks after the initial treatment, with maintenance sessions every 6-12 months thereafter. This helps to ensure the skin remains radiant and youthful throughout the summer and beyond.
Suitable for all skin types
Profhilo is found to be suitable for all skin types, making it a versatile treatment option for a wide range of patients. Whether the complexion is dry, oily, sensitive or is considered as combination skin, Profhilo can improve the skin’s overall health and appearance. Its biocompatible composition ensures that it integrates seamlessly with the body’s natural processes, minimising the potential risk of adverse reactions, which is especially important when the skin is exposed to the summer sun.
