Profhilo (Face and Body)
Profhilo is a skin laxity treatment that improves skin tone, texture, hydration, and overall radiance. It can help to increase firmness and elasticity and promote healthier and softer-looking skin.
Profhilo® works by being injected just below the surface of the skin. Once injected, it naturally spreads out and is absorbed over about a 4cm area of the skin. This means that you can usually have the treatment applied to your whole face with around about 10 injection sites. These injection sites are known as the bio-aesthetic point (BAP) technique which was developed using CT scans to produce the most effective and even spread of the Profhilo. Injections can be a little pinch and treatment takes between 10 and 20 minutes.
Once your consent has been completed and your medical history checked, I will ask you to make yourself comfortable by lying down on the treatment bed; I will clean your skin and I will discuss ways to be comfortable. When you are ready, I will commence the treatment as gently and slowly as necessary. Once you know what to expect, you can give me a sense of the pace you would like me to take and we can take short breaks when you wish, until your confidence builds.
The feeling of both Microneedling and nano-soft needling is more scratchy than painful, there is a bright light above you and I’m close to you so I can pay full attention to your skin. Once the injection part of the treatment is over, I will apply a colling balm and an eye mask to help your skin to settle. I will give you a mirror so that you can see and take photos of you just before you leave for your medical notes which I will store securely and in confidence. I will make an appointment for your either for your next treatment or for a review appointment.

Consultation
Before you come for your appointment, I will speak to you on the phone or over a video call to go through the process and I will send you a health questionnaire and information about the treatment by email which you will need to fill, sign, and submit so that they return to me. After a thorough medical history is checked, I will explain again what happens during the treatment now that we are together. Once we are both satisfied that you fully understand the treatment and aftercare, I will ensure that you have signed a consent form and I will take photos for your medical notes. Then when you are ready, and comfortable on the treatment bed, I will commence treatment.
What to Expect
After Profhilo is injected, there is an instant boost to hydration. Over the following 4 weeks, there will be a boost to collagen and elastin production within the dermis. This helps to give the skin a youthful, plump, smooth and firm appearance. Profhilo® works best in a course of 2 or 3 treatments, 4 weeks apart with 3 to 6 monthly maintenance treatments.

Aftercare & Treatment FAQ's
Treat the skin gently by washing it with a gentle cleanser, cool water, and using only your hands to pat dry no earlier than 4 hours after treatment. As a rule, you should reach for AlumierMD Clear Shield or Sheer Hydration whenever you are exposed to the sun or wherever the light is bright enough to cast a shadow, but especially for the first 2 weeks after treatment, to protect your healing skin from sun damage during the recovery process.
