Ever since I turned 30, I have been on a mission to find FDA-approved medical aesthetic treatments that are not just good for my skin but would also help me hold onto my youth, without drastically altering my natural features.
After much research and discussion with my trusted skin doctor, Dr Elias Tam from EHA Clinic, I decided to try Profhilo, a treatment that promises to rejuvenate and hydrate the skin from within.
As I have grown older, my skin has become increasingly sensitive and dehydrated, displaying the early signs of ageing such as fine lines and loss of elasticity. What I wanted was a treatment that could deeply hydrate my skin, improve its texture, and provide a natural-looking lift without any drastic changes to my features, and Profhilo seemed to tick all these boxes.
Profhilo is not a filler, so it won’t add any volume to your face, and it won’t change your features, instead, this cutting-edge injectable treatment falls under the category of bio-remodeling. It’s composed of hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in our bodies, which helps in maintaining skin hydration and elasticity. The hyaluronic acid used in Profhilo not only hydrates your skin cells immediately to give a younger and fresher look, it also continues to hydrate the skin for up to 18 months post-treatment. Unlike traditional dermal fillers, Profhilo works by stimulating collagen and elastin production, resulting in a more natural and holistic rejuvenation.
The treatment involves a series of injections strategically placed in specific points of the face (five injection points on both sides of the face). Initially, it gives intense hydration, and then over the following weeks, it stimulates the production of collagen and elastin. This improves skin tone, firmness and hydration and results in more luminous, glowing skin.The protocol typically consists of two sessions spaced about four weeks apart. This initial treatment period is followed by maintenance top-ups at three to six-month intervals. The injections are done using a fine needle, ensuring minimal discomfort and the whole procedure itself is relatively quick, usually taking around 15 minutes (not counting the time for numbing cream), making it convenient for those with busy schedules.
Profhilo is suitable for a wide range of people, especially those with sensitive and dehydrated skin (like myself) who are looking to combat the early signs of ageing. It’s a great option for individuals who wish to improve their skin texture, and tightness, and achieve a subtle lifting effect without altering their facial features.
One of the standout advantages of Profhilo is the minimal downtime associated with the treatment. After the injections, there might be slight redness or tiny bumps at the injection sites, but these usually subside within a few hours to a day. This means you can resume your daily activities almost immediately after the treatment.
In terms of results, they gradually manifest over the course of a few weeks. Some improvement can be noticed within a week, but the full effects become more apparent after the second session. This is because, the collagen and elastin production triggered by Profhilo continue to enhance the skin’s texture and tightness, giving a natural and youthful look.
I noticed a significant improvement in my skin’s hydration, and elasticity, and a subtle reduction in fine lines after completing the treatment. It’s been truly uplifting to see the gradual positive transformation while still feeling and looking like myself (just so much better).
For me personally, Profhilo has been a game-changer for my skin. If you’re looking for a treatment that rejuvenates and refreshes without altering your natural features, Profhilo might just be the answer. The minimal downtime and gradual results make it a compelling option for anyone seeking a gentle yet effective anti-ageing solution that actually benefits the skin as it improves it from within.
