Hope you can answer me, I have very dehydrated skin so am thinking of Profhilo injections. Some websites say that it is only suitable for the lower face and the forehead area won’t be affected. Others say it will work for the entire face?
Hi, Profhilo and all the other injectable moisturisers are great for dry skin, and they work wherever they’re injected – though if your skin is really dry, you may need more treatment than average in order to see results. The injection protocol that is taught for Profhilo only involves injections in the mid and lower face, but most expert practitioners now take a more creative approach and place the product where they feel it is most needed, which can include the forehead and the area beside the eyes. If your skin is really dry, it’s also worth packing in the hydration in your skincare, with a gentle cleanser, a hydrating serum and a moisturiser that’s rich in ceramides. And supplements can help, too. When I took Altrient C for three months for an experiment to see what it did for my skin, it increased my skin hydration levels hugely (there’s an article about it here), and I know that collagen supplements like Totally Derma work a treat to help the skin hold moisture, so I take that every day, too.
