Profhilo also deviates from traditional injection techniques that target specific areas of the skin. Profhilo injections are given in 0.2ml doses at 10 selected bio-aesthetic points into the deep dermis to hypodermis layers of the skin. This minimises risk to blood vessels and nerves and maximises efficacy through diffusion.
But the key secret to Profhilo lies in its only ingredient—HA.
“HA is a sugar found naturally in our skin that holds water and helps keep the skin hydrated and plump. The HA within our bodies hold a thousand times its weight in water to not only retain all that moisture in our skin and joints, but also prevent it from evaporating into the air,” Dr Ee shares.
Profhilo is made up of 100 per cent pure grade HA, combining high- and low-molecular-weight HA to hydrate the skin on different levels.
The result? A dewy and plumper-looking complexion, firmer and lifted contour, enhanced hydration, and better tissue and scarring repair with no downtime and minimal side effects. These effects can be observed after the second treatment—usually done one month after the first session—and gradually improve over time, lasting between six to 12 months. Profhilo is recommended to be administered twice a year for the best results.
