What is the difference between Profhilo and Dermal Fillers?

What is Profhilo? How much does Profhilo cost?

Profhilo and dermal fillers are both injectable treatments used to address signs of ageing such as wrinkles, fine lines, and loss of volume. However, there are some key differences between the two treatments.

Profhilo is a type of injectable treatment that is made up of a high concentration of hyaluronic acid, which is a naturally occurring substance in the body that helps to hydrate and plump the skin. Unlike traditional dermal fillers, which are injected into specific areas to add volume and fill in wrinkles, Profhilo is injected into multiple points across the face to stimulate the body's natural production of collagen and elastin. This results in an overall improvement in skin quality and hydration, rather than just addressing specific areas of concern.

Dermal fillers, on the other hand, are typically made up of a variety of different substances, including hyaluronic acid, collagen, and other materials, and are used to add volume to specific areas of the face. They can be used to fill in wrinkles and fine lines, enhance the lips or cheeks, and restore volume to areas that have lost fullness due to ageing.

While both treatments are used to address signs of ageing, Profhilo focuses on improving overall skin quality and hydration, while dermal fillers are used to add volume to specific areas of the face.

When Profhilo is injected into multiple points across the face, it spreads quickly and evenly across multiple points in the treatment area. The high concentration of hyaluronic acid helps to stimulate the production of collagen and elastin, which are two proteins that are essential for maintaining the skin's firmness, elasticity, and hydration.

Over time, as the body produces more collagen and elastin, the skin becomes firmer, more hydrated, and smoother. This results in an overall improvement in skin quality and texture, with reduced appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

The treatment is typically administered in two sessions, spaced about 4 weeks apart, and the results can last up to 6 months. 6 monthly top ups of one syringe is recommended to maintain the results.
