Who is Profhilo suitable for?

Generally, anybody from the age of 30 and up is suitable as Profhilo is an ideal treatment for anybody who wants to keep their skin strong and in good condition. It is also beneficial for those individuals who have started to notice the first signs of skin laxity, or have visible signs of ageing skin. These are the ideal times to start preventive therapies to accommodate deterioration.

As people age, they start to lose significant collagen, hyaluronic acid and elastin after the age of 30. In some cases, the tissue quality has decreased more rapidly, and \ these individuals may look older than their actual age. If you feel the quality of your facial tissue has started to become lax, or is beginning to sag, or maybe you are looking older than your age, you should consider this treatment option - as this is where Profhilo® fits in beautifully to the non-surgical repertoire.

In younger people, it can have a more of a preventive effect by strengthening the skin's collagen and elastin, and by increasing its hydration levels.

A thorough consultation is of paramount importance, and if there is significant volume loss; or deep folds are present in addition to laxity, then Profhilo® will help to replace lost collagen and elastin, strengthening the skin. This, in combination, with other options like dermal fillers, can have much better results than facial fillers alone.

Profhilo = dermal scaffolding.

How long does it last for?
