ProfHilo (1x2ml)

PROFHILO^®

PROFHILO^® - a new discovery in hyaluronic acid! It is the first stabilised hyaluronic acid (HA) based product which is manufactured without the use of chemical cross-linking agents (BDDE) and is used for skin remodelling and treating skin laxity, not for just filling lines and wrinkles. According to the makers, it delivers dramatic improvement in tissue quality, even in challenging areas, and is complementary to other aesthetic treatments and dermal filler procedures.

IBSA’s hyaluronic acid is an ultrapure grade hyaluronic acid, produced through a patented bio-fermentation process, of Streptococcus Zooepidemicus, which ranks worldwide as "top quality" in terms of purity, safety and its high resistance to thermal production processes.

NAHYCO™ Hybrid Technology combines innovation and complete safety with the production of stabilised hybrid hyaluronic acid cooperative complexes formed through a patented thermal process.

PROFHILO^® is available in one formulation - 64mg of hyaluronic acid in a 2ml pre-filled syringe (32mg of high molecular weight HA (1100-1400 kDa) + 32mg of low molecular weight HA (80-100 kDa)). A total concentration of 64mg is produced which has never been achieved before precisely because of technological limitations.

PROFHILO^® engages with the body’s receptors to cause the collagen stimulation, a much more natural reaction than a foreign body reaction.
It has a much higher activation of types I and III collagen in the fibroblasts than HMW and LMW HA on their own, plus type IV and VIII in keratinocytes. It also produces a higher activation of elastin synthesis in the fibroblasts and keratinocytes compared to independent application of HMW and LMW HA.

It has been proven that PROFHILO^® stimulates 4 different types of collagen and elastin. Skin looks instantly tighter. A month later following a second treatment, new collagen and elastin starts to become apparent and by the time you have finished the face will look lifed.

Treatment to the face is delivered by practitioners using the BAP technique – Bio Aesthetic Points - which is seen as the optimum method for placement of the product at 5 specific points on the face. The BAP technique identifies 5 injection sites on each side of the face, away from major vessels, nerves etc. and in such a way as to maximise the "spreadability" of the product through diffuse regions of the cheek and jawline. At each of these points a bolus of 0.2ml of PROFHILO^® can be injected, slowly and smoothly, due to the low viscosity of the product, at the deep dermal layer. Thus 1ml of product is injected into each side of the face. This technique is aimed at improving age related atrophy in the cheek and jaw regions, which will consequently have an effect on other structures and improve the general elasticity of the facial skin and improve superficial wrinkling across the whole area.

Two treatments sessions are usually recommended initially, with a 1-month interval in between. Top ups and maintenance treatments can then be prescribed by your practitioner according to your body’s response to treatment.

Visible effects last from 1 to 1,5 years.
