Skin Boosters
Profhilo, Hydromax and Sunekos
Profhilo is an injectable skin remodelling treatment containing one of the highest concentrations of Hyaluronic Acid (HA) on the market, especially formulated for people whose skin lacks volume and elasticity.
Rather than just plumping and filling wrinkles, the slow release of HA by Profhilo stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, in turn improving skin tone, hydration and the appearance of fine lines. The result is improved skin quality lasting for up to 6 months.
HOW DOES PROFHILO WORK?
HA is hydrophilic, meaning it draws and holds water from your body, so Profhilo acts as a hydrator rather than a filler. This makes it fantastic for those with tired, dull-looking skin, transforming it into firm and luminous skin. This effect takes place within 3-5 days of treatment.
Over the next few weeks collagen and elastin production is stimulated, producing a secondary effect of skin tightening. This is useful because levels of collagen, elastin and Hyaluronic Acid in the skin rapidly drop from the age of 30, resulting in signs of ageing such as fine lines, wrinkles and lacklustre skin. Profhilo acts to reverse some of these changes. The maximum effect of Profhilo is usually seen 2 months after the second treatment.
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF PROFHILO?
Treatment with Profhilo improves skin tone, texture, hydration and overall radiance. It can help to increase firmness and elasticity and promote healthier and softer-looking skin.
Profhilo is most commonly used for facial areas, but can also be used to rejuvenating the neck, decollete, arms, knees and hands.
WHAT DOES PROFHILO TREATMENT INVOLVE?
Profhilo is injected just below the skin’s surface over 2 sessions 4 weeks apart. After injection it disperses quickly beneath the skin to improve hydration, without any need for massage or risk of leaving lumps or nodules. Profhilo is absorbed within a 2cm radius of its injection site, so to treat the face only 10 injection points are needed in total.
A single course of Profhilo involves 2 injectable treatments 4 weeks apart, after which you can expect to see an intense hydration. It makes the skin glow, fine lines can disappear and you’ll notice smoother, tighter skin. Courses of two treatments can be repeated every six months as needed to maintain the results.
WHAT ABOUT RECOVERY?
The downtime following a treatment is minimal, and you should be able to return to normal ‘light’ daily activities immediately after your procedure. However, we recommend that you avoid physical strain and sports on the first day after the treatment, and don’t have a sauna or steamy bath for the first few days. You should also avoid intense sun or UV light exposure for the first few days after treatment.
Sunekos for Under Eyes
Sunekos is a regenerative, non-surgical injectable treatment for the under-eyes that combines hyaluronic acid and amino acids to stimulate collagen and elastin production. It is ideal for reducing dark circles, fine lines, skin sagging, and crepiness, providing a natural look rather than adding significant volume like traditional dermal fillers.
Key Benefits for Under-Eyes
Rejuvenation: Stimulates fibroblasts to regenerate the extracellular matrix (ECM) of the delicate under-eye skin.
Targets Aging Signs: Improves skin laxity, reduces crepiness, and minimises the appearance of dark circles by thickening the skin.
Natural Results: Ideal for those seeking hydration and improvement in skin texture without the "overfilled" appearance of fillers.
Versatility: Safe for the delicate periocular area (around the eyes) and can improve hollows, sagging, and bags.
Treatment Protocol and Results
Procedure: Typically, a course of 3-4 sessions is recommended, spaced 10–14 days apart.
Duration: Results typically last for up to 6–12 months, depending on the individual's skin condition.
Downtime: Minimal to none, though slight swelling or bruising from injection points may occur, which usually resolves quickly.
Improvements: While some effects are seen early, the best results often become visible around 4 weeks after the second treatment
