PROFHILO INJECTION
Profhilo, is a bioremodelling treatment consisting of 100% chemical free, natural Hugh hyaluronic acid concentration (64mg/2ml) injected into the face, suitable for men and women as well as offering skin benefits for patients of all ages.
Profhilo is not a dermal filler, due to the way it has been made and its action. It acts as a bioremodelling and hydrating treatment and unlike filler which stays in place to provide volume and contour , Profhilo spreads extensively under the skin stimulating collagen and elastin, thus attracts water in the deeper layers of the skin and improves appearance of ageing signs such as appearance of crepe skin, fine superficial lines and sagging skin.
The ultimate benefits include:-
