Profhilo is another treatment that you are likely to have stumbled across before on social media. “Profhilo is a glow-giving injectable moisturiser that hydrates the skin. It utilises a high concentration of 100% pure hyaluronic acid and is a completely natural injectable,” says Dr Demosthenous. It works to deliver hydrating, plumping moisture under the surface of the skin to boost radiance and plumpness, with results lasting up to 6 months.
Again, in terms of pain, you can expect to feel a sting at the injection site, but the pain soon passes. However, it’s worth noting that Prohilo isn’t for everybody. “Although it is a natural and safe product, some patients should avoid it, especially if you have bleeding disorders or a severely compromised immune system. Also avoid if you are allergic to hyaluronic acid, are currently pregnant, or are breastfeeding,” warns Dr Kayle.
A recent addition to the Profhilo treatment family is Profhilo Body. “It is the only injectable treatment specifically formulated for the treatment of body skin laxity,” says Dr Alexandrides. “It is ideal for anyone who wants to smooth fine lines, rehydrate loose, crepey skin, and achieve an overall improvement to skin elasticity on the abdomen, hands, knees, and arms,” he adds.
As with all of the treatments on this list, it is imperative that you visit a certified medical professional for your treatment.
