Profhilo

Profhilo is priced from €300 per session

Everyday we use up about 1/3 of our naturally occurring hyaluronic acid and as we age it takes longer to replenish those levels. A decrease in the skins hyaluronic acid levels can lead to skin which is dull, lax and devoid of plumpness.

This is where Profhilo comes in. Profhilo is a hyaluronic acid based skin booster. Not only does it hydrate the skin, it also strengthens and stimulates the skin cells through bio-remodelling, stimulating the production of collagen and elastin. This reduces the laxity and crepey appearance of the skin.

It can be utilised as a once off, consisting of two treatments, for big events such as brides looking for an extra shot of radiance.

More commonly, I use it as a regular treatment to support the skin of patients approximately 40 years or older. For these patients we initially saturate the skin with two treatments, four weeks apart, to get the hyaluronic acid levels up in the skin. We then switch to maintenance and carry out a single treatment every 3-6 months, depending on the patient.

The most common area we treat is the face but we can also treat the neck, décolletage, hands, arms, knees and abdomen.

Treatment for the face consists of 5 injections, precisely administered in specific points to optimise the results. Numbing cream and ice is applied prior to treatment to minimise discomfort and downtime.

Little bumps may remain on the skin for a few hours post treatment, but overall downtime is usually minimal.

FAQs

  • I recommend for all new patients to undergo a consultation. If appropriate, Profhilo can be carried out on the same day as consultation.

  • Not everyone is eligible for injectables. I do not recommend these treatments for individuals who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have an active infection at or near the injection site or elsewhere in the body. If you have allergies, autoimmune disorders, neuromuscular conditions, or any other underlying medical concerns, I encourage you to consult with me beforehand to ensure the treatment is suitable for you.

    On the day of your appointment, it’s important that you feel well and healthy. Treatments cannot be performed if you’re unwell or have recently been sick, including with the flu.

    I also recommend avoiding any other skin, beauty, or aesthetic treatments, such as brow treatments, within two weeks of your treatment. Your health and safety are my priorities, so please let me know if you’re feeling unwell or unsure about your readiness for treatment.

  • My goal is to make your treatment as comfortable as possible. Most patients describe the associated discomfort as mild to moderate. I also offer a range of numbing options to ensure your experience is as pain-free as possible.

  • Treatment is generally well tolerated, though mild swelling, bruising, and slight discomfort are common. For most patients, these effects usually subside within 24-72 hours.
