Dubbed the ultimate glow giver by its fans, Profhilo is the newest super moisturising treatment for your skin.
This treatment has been rapidly gaining traction online, and has appeared in publications such as Elle, Glamour, Harper’s Bazaar in recent weeks. Rather than changing the shape of your face with fillers or relaxing the muscles in your face through Botox; this ultra-hydrating treatment delivers deep moisture to not only help plump and nourish the skin, but to provide a youthful all over glow.
Studio Aesthete, a holistic, private cosmetic clinic based in both Newcastle and Sunderland has begun practicing the ‘beneath the skin’ hydrating treatment that delivers hyaluronic acid deeper into the skin than the capabilities of any topical hyaluronic acid serum. Profhilo contains one of the highest concentrations of pure hyaluronic acid on the market at 62mg per 2ml syringe.
The treatment targets multiple layers of skin to restore the structure of the skin’s firmness, tone and elasticity at levels that cannot be achieved through the application of skincare products onto the skin surface alone. Although this procedure is administered through a needle and is technically classed as a injectable treatment, Profhilo is a gentle, regenerative, experience that acts as an addition to your skincare routine, rather than something that will change how your face moves and looks. With guaranteed natural looking results, what can you expect from Profhilo treatments? As Profhilo helps the skin hold onto water and encourages a ‘moisturised from within’ look, the treatment works through stimulating collagen and elastin through the use of a stabilised hyaluronic acid. Once you are ready for the treatment, you will be made comfortable in Studio Aesthete’s beautiful treatment room. From here, the skin will be examined, making note of any visible blood vessels, areas of unhealthy skin or moles or lesions that need to be avoided when the procedure takes place.
The treatment itself is suitable for anyone and is completed within a matter of minutes. The skin is needles are injected to each side of the face; in front of the ear, the front and side of the cheek, the angle of the jaw and below the lower lip. Each injection takes less than five seconds. Once complete the area is cleaned again with an antimicrobial product that also contains arnica to aid the healing process. After the treatment, it is important to avoid touching the area and to keep makeup away from the skin for at least 12 hours.
In terms of aftercare, it is recommended to avoid certain medications, heavy exercise, and alcohol for 48 hours as this can increase the risk of bleeding. Each treatment is administered in two parts, the second one around a month after the first. The process will cause slight discomfort while being administered, but this is to be expected. However, the discomfort is not so severe that it deters customers from returning for further treatments, any discomfort or stinging sensations dissipates quickly. It is recommended to have two to three treatment sessions one month apart.
The results will speak for themselves and will give your skin a more hydrated, plumper, and youthful looking finish. Many start to see an improvement within a week of their treatment, however the real results will reveal themselves within six-to-eight weeks as your body will begin producing collagen and elastin itself, which will be visible on the surface of the skin. After completing the initial two treatments, booking in for a follow up treatment every six months will ensure the results are longer lasting.
Profhilo is a brilliant way to hydrate and encourage regeneration of the skin when the first signs of ageing appear.
For very natural, hydrated results come and see lead nurse and director of Studio Aesthete, Lucie Royer, who founded the clinic in 2019. Studio Aesthete’s mission is to enhance clients rare, unmistakable beauty, while providing each client with an elevated aesthetic experience, and Profhilo is the newest way to do that.
