At Dr Kate Aesthetics, located in Barnet, North London, we provide medical aesthetics treatments in a welcoming and professional environment. One of our most popular treatments is Profhilo, an award winning treatment that patients love because it delivers radiant, hydrated skin with minimal downtime.
What is Profhilo?
Profhilo is an advanced injectable treatment designed to improve skin elasticity, hydration, and overall texture. Unlike dermal fillers, which add volume to specific areas of the face, Profhilo works by deeply hydrating the skin and stimulating collagen and elastin production.
It contains a high concentration of hyaluronic acid (HA), a substance naturally found in the skin that diminishes with age. By delivering HA directly into the dermis, Profhilo rejuvenates the skin from within, resulting in a smoother, firmer, and more radiant complexion. Patients can expect hydrated skin, improved skin quality and natural looking results that don’t change their natural facial features.
Beware of fake Profhilo
Recently, there has been a rise of fake Profhilo that is being used in the aesthetics industry. Fake aesthetics products can pose a danger to patients, leading to complications and unsatisfactory results.
The aesthetics industry is unregulated, which means people who aren’t medically qualified can train how to inject products. Unfortunately some injectors will cut corners and buy counterfeit products like fake Profhilo, because they are cheaper to purchase.
To avoid these kinds of issues, it is advisable to make sure you only visit reputable, medical aesthetics clinics. Medical injectors are trained professionals that work to high standards to ensure patient safety.
What is a Profhilo Treatment Like?
Before the procedure we will assess your skin and cleanse the treatment area to ensure optimal results. Profhilo is administered through five precise injection points on each side of the face, known as the Bio Aesthetic Points (BAP). This strategic placement minimises discomfort while maximising the treatment’s effectiveness.
The treatment itself is quick, typically lasting around 15 minutes. Patients often describe the sensation as a slight sting as the needle goes in. After the injections, small bumps may appear at the injection sites. These typically subside within 24 to 48 hours as the product disperses under the skin. At Dr Kate Aesthetics in Barnet we will provide aftercare guidance to ensure patients get the best results from their treatment.
What Results Can I Expect to See?
Following a Profhilo treatment, the initial bumps at the injection points will disappear within a couple of days. While some patients notice improved hydration almost immediately, the full effects typically develop over 4 to 6 weeks as collagen and elastin production is stimulated. Most patients require 2 to 3 treatments, spaced about four weeks apart, for the best results.
The benefits of Profhilo can last up to six months, depending on individual skin type and lifestyle factors and include improved radiance, hydration and an increase in skin firmness and elasticity. Maintenance treatments are recommended every six months to sustain these results.
