FAQ
How does Profhilo® work ?
Profhilo® is a unique Hyaluronic Acid-based patented technology that uses dual-action complexes that are released slowly into the skin to hydrate, firm, smooth, and remodel the complexion.
High doses of Hyaluronic Acid and a cocktail of slow-release ingredients are diffused into the skin. This treatment nourishes the cells from the inside out over a period of 4 weeks, the water-loving slow-release molecules kick start collagen and elastin production for a tighter, lifted, and glowing complexion.
Louise and her team of highly skilled injectors will administer your perfect Profhilo® dose to elevate luminosity, treat skin laxity and improve the quality of skin tissue for a rejuvenated, glass-skin glow.
What is Hyaluronic Acid?
Hyaluronic Acid is a water-loving molecule that holds the key to smooth, flawless, and hydrated skin.
It acts as a magnet for moisture, helping your cells retain as much of it as possible so that your skin feels, healthy, plump, and fresh. Just a gram of Hyaluronic Acid has the impressive ability to hold six liters of water.
Whilst we can apply this topically, Profhilo performs a bio-regenerating action, termed the ‘injectable moisturiser’ this treatment stimulates the body’s own natural Hyaluronic Acid production producing flawless glass skin complexion.
What is Profhilo® used for?
Not only just for enhancing facial features, but Profhilo® can also be used to offer complete skin rejuvenation on the neck, decolletage area, hands, knees, and arms.
Patients can expect to appear more refreshed and youthful, feeling confident through restored radiance.
How many sessions will I need?
For your first Profhilo® treatment, we recommend you have x2 treatments administered 4 weeks apart to deliver optimal skin-boosting results.
For patients who wish to prolong the effects, try maintenance sessions every 6 months thereafter, these are perfect pre-event or special occasion boosters!
Dull, dehydrated, lackluster skin will be a thing of the past!
Am I suitable for Profhilo®
Profhilo® contains Hyaluronic Acid which is a naturally occurring substance within the body. For this reason, it is considered a suitable treatment for all skin types for a wide range of clients: as a preventative and corrective treatment.
A thorough consultation will be conducted to discuss a bespoke treatment plan and any medical concerns before treatment are agreed upon.
Does it hurt?
Profhilo® is administered through fine needles, therefore, is considered a comfortable treatment as such is popular with patients of all ages and concerns.
We can apply a topical numbing cream pre-treatment should you be concerned about pain management.
Are there any risks or side effects?
One of the reasons why this skin-boosting treatment is so popular is the little downtime alongside minimal side effects.
Some redness or small bumps at the point of injection may be experienced. These are minimal and will subside within a few hours post-treatment.
We advise all clients to avoid firm massage after the placement of the product into the skin – in order to allow the product to distribute naturally for optimal results.
Does Profhilo® require any downtime?
Post-Profhilo® it is recommended patients allow a few hours for gentle recovery. During this time limit exercise, makeup, and swap exfoliants for gentle, soothing skincare.
What can I do to enhance my results?
Many of our Clients at The Look by Louise choose to have Profhilo® treatments before a big event or special occasion for a complexion-boosting refresh. To accelerate results at home, we have created the Ultimate ‘Post-Profhilo® Package’ which can be purchased in-clinic or from our Online Skin Boutique.
For longer-lasting results we recommend clients to use high-quality medical-grade skincare regularly to enhance Profhilo’s effects and longevity of the treatment. Nourishing the skin internally with our nutritional supplement programmes will enhance Profhilo® and dermal fillers effects, helping your skin to remain plump and full.
