Profhilo for Crepey Skin with Dr Vicky Dondos
Alice Hart-Davis speaks with Dr. Vicky Dondos from the Medicetics Clinic in London about Profhilo, a new treatment that is highly effective for revitalizing crepey skin. This injectable hyaluronic acid treatment provides hydration and promotes collagen production without altering facial contours.
What is Profhilo?
Composition: Profhilo is an injectable hyaluronic acid treatment.
Function: Unlike traditional fillers, it does not change facial contours or directly address wrinkles. Instead, it acts as an injectable moisturizer, improving skin texture and hydration.
Treatment Process
Injection Points: Typically, there are about 10 injection points on the face and 10 on the neck.
Immediate Effects: Small bumps may be visible immediately after the injection but usually settle within a few hours on the face and up to 24 hours on the neck.
Initial Results: Many patients notice improvements in skin smoothness within the first week due to the hydrating effect of the gel.
Long-Term Benefits
Treatment Schedule: The procedure is repeated after one month to ensure prolonged exposure of the gel in the skin.
Collagen Stimulation: Having the gel in the skin for 60 days triggers bio revitalization, stimulating collagen and elastin production.
Lasting Effects: This leads to increased plumpness, firmness, and overall skin improvement, which can last up to six months.
Patient Experience
Revitalization: Patients typically feel a noticeable boost in skin smoothness and hydration shortly after the first treatment.
Minimal Downtime: The procedure involves minimal downtime, making it convenient for patients.
Conclusion
Profhilo is an effective and innovative treatment for improving skin texture and hydration, offering a non-invasive solution for those looking to revitalize their appearance. With its ability to stimulate collagen production and enhance skin firmness, it provides long-lasting benefits with minimal discomfort.
