MESOTHERAPY + BOOSTERS
Mesotherapy
engages painless micro-injections of vitamins, minerals, besides hyaluronic and amino acids, the technique uses very fine needles to deliver a series of injections into the middle layer (mesoderm) of skin. The idea behind mesotherapy is that it corrects underlying issues like poor circulation and inflammation that cause skin damage. There isn’t a standard formula for the substances injected in mesotherapy. Doctors use many different solutions, like manual injections, nano-pore micro-needling, gold stamp, and meso-gun.
Skin Boosters line brings you the revolution in cosmetology science and assures our commitment to providing you with high-end, top-quality products, capable of maximising efficacy with a safe and natural way. The characteristic advantage of the line is that its products are in fact “skin boosters”: products with dynamic, complex and technologically advanced formulas, which boost and enhance the natural processes and functions of the skin. Skin boosters are the bolus dose of concentrated ingredients given to the client via injectable & non injectable technique that helps the aging and damaged skin to return to their normal function over 30-60 days. The booster’s main ingredients are high concentration of hyaluronic acid, growth factors and amino acids that correct the structure of the dermis and give proper hydration.
PROFHILO & PLUS
Profhilo® uses pure hyaluronic acid to improve and restores skin firmness & laxity by providing ultimate hydration to remodel ageing and sagging skin tissue whilst also having a tightening and lifting effect., the unique treatment can be used on the face, neck, décolletage, hands, arms, knees and abdomen area where it would effectively treat skin laxity and:
· Rejuvenate tired, dull and ageing skin
· Stimulate the production of collagen
· Increase firmness and elasticity by plumping the skin to reduce fine lines and wrinkles
· Natural looking results reveal healthier, softer, younger looking skin.
H-HA in Profhilo provides a stable HA architecture in the dermis. This gives a volumetric effect - the Lift effect.
Another advantage of the stable co-operative hybrid complex when compared to H-HA and L-HA is the increase in the ex¬pression levels of type I and type III collagen in fibroblast and type IV and VII collagen in keratinocytes.
This results in improved skin quality and skin hydration both in the dermis and epidermis. There is also increased production of endogenous HA and elastin giving the skin a more youthful look.
Profhilo delivers great results as a treatment on its own or in combination with other aesthetics treatments currently on offer.
There is no upper age limit for this treatment and it is suitable for reversing and repairing many ageing symptoms. However, it is worth noting that for clients over the age of 60 suffering from more severe aging, the treatment may be either less effective or better when combined with various other treatments. This is largely due to elderly skin having deeper folds to penetrate. Since Profhilo skin treatments are relatively new to the market, it is vital that you select a reputable and experienced practitioner to provide the treatment.
Consultation
The consultant should also discuss what you are seeking to achieve from the treatment. This might involve speaking about your current problem areas, insecurities and any other treatments you have trialed and either got on with or not. By doing this, your consultant should gain a better idea of how the treatment might benefit you. It also allows the consultant to envisage the changes the treatment might make to your skin and give you a vague idea of the results you might hope to achieve.
What can I expect during the procedure?
Pre-treatment
Prior to having Profhilo skin treatments, you are advised to refrain from indulging in alcoholic drinks for at least 24 hours before the procedure begins. You are also strongly advised against taking aspirin or anti-inflammatory medication, unless these are necessary to treat chronic medical conditions. The clinician will provide numbing cream to prevent any pain being felt by you, so any further painkillers are unnecessary. Taking these might increase the possibility of temporary bruising.
When asked, your consultant should provide a more detailed list of pre-treatment requests to ensure you are fully prepared.
The procedure itself
At the start of the actual treatment, the consultant will apply numbing cream on the desired area to make the experience more comfortable and virtually painless. In the first session, the doctor will mark up the points to be injected, and then inject the first 2ml of Profhilo treatment at 5 separate injection points on each side of your face. If you are having the treatment injected to other body parts such as your neck, your cleavage or your hands, then the procedure will be similar.
How many treatments are necessary?
Within the practice, it is widely recommended to have at least two Profhilo skin treatment sessions in order to see the most optimal and pronounced results. Within an interval of 4 weeks, doctors recommend having 4ml worth of treatment altogether, with two treatments and 2ml injected during each.
However, for more mature and aged skin, practitioners may recommend an additional session to reverse any stubborn aging symptoms or prominent skin problems. Alternatively, some practitioners will recommend increasing or doubling the dosage to 8ml of Profhilo treatment over the course of the month, with each session injecting 4ml. Yet this is something you can discuss and be clear with your practitioner about during your consultation, since it is up to you which results you are aiming for, the budget you have and whether you would like further treatment.
Once the initial two or three sessions are finished to complete the treatment, you may want to top up the treatment every 6 months as this is when the results begin to wear off. This is something that, again, it is best to discuss with a practitioner during your initial consultation and when drawing up a comprehensive treatment plan.
How long does the treatment take to do?
Profhilo treatment takes around 30 minutes to be completed, per session. During this half an hour period, the practitioner will apply numbing cream, mark out spots for injections and will inject your area of concern in five places for widespread and more effective treatment. Generally, the procedure is quicker than most beauty procedures and is relatively comfortable.
Recovery
Since it is not major surgery, there is no downtime required for recovery after the treatment. However, it is largely advised that you refrain from applying cosmetics, becoming excessively sweaty and oily for a few days post-treatment for the best results. This means avoiding saunas, the gym and make up for a couple of days post-treatment in order for the product to settle into your skin.
It is not unusual for you to experience some extent of swelling and bruising over the few days that follow the treatment. This is because of the body’s natural response to the needle and injection, as with any clinical or non-clinical injections or harm to skin. In the event of brushing, it is advised to stay away from harsh sun for a few days.
It is recommended that you avoid frequently touching the targeted area and that you don’t engage with intense exercise for at least a day since this will risk displacing or interfering with the Profhilo treatment - which will reduce effectiveness.
Although you are still able to get further cosmetic treatments on that area alongside the Profhilo treatment, we recommend not doing so until at least 2 days after the treatment is complete since this may also affect the treatment’s functioning.
Aside from these restrictions, Profhilo is a non-invasive procedure and therefore allows you to return promptly to your daily routine, so long as you follow that advice.
Potential Side Effects
The human body naturally produce hyaluronic acid anyway, so higher levels of the acid do not trigger many potential side effects, and no long-term side effects. This is because the body metabolises and welcomes the treatment.
Thus far, mild swelling and bruising are among the only reported side effects associated with Profhilo treatment, which are both a natural consequence of injection. Even so, these symptoms often disappear within a few days and are no cause for alarm whatsoever.
It is also highly unlikely that individuals will have an allergic reaction to the treatment since Profhilo is free from synthetic chemicals and is only based upon
What results should I expect to see?
It is difficult to predict exactly what results you will achieve from this treatment since everyone is different and everyone’s bodies act differently. Broadly speaking, however, you should expect to see a smoother, clearer and more youthful complexion, with minimized wrinkles, creases and wear. It usually also makes skin look shiny, healthier and more plump - as many fillers do. The results will likely be less dramatic than some other, more invasive fillers and surgery, but still noticeable.
How long do the results last?
The results of Profhilo treatments can last up to roughly 6 months, however, this may vary by patient - particularly depending on skin type and age. The Profhilo treatment can work independently as a treatment on its own or in combination with other cosmetic treatments, namely because it is a natural product that is being injected.
After this six-month period or when you begin to see the treatment’s effects wearing away, it is recommended that you can top up treatments if you wish to continue.
