Prophilo

The “Prophilo” solution is one of the innovative treatments to combat the effects of time, both on the face and body. We are talking about a solution based on hyaluronic acid (HA) injected through micro-cannulas that helps stimulate the production of collagen and elastin.

With this method it is possible to reduce skin laxity, fill volumes and have a lifting effect.

What is Prohilo

The term “filler” refers to that HA-based solution of gel consistency that allows for the enhancement and firming of areas of the face such as the chin, the nose, the zygomata or the tear furrows.

Prophilo is similar to classic dermal fillers but has a higher concentration of HA, which allows it to have a more liquid and less viscous consistency.

Its use is indicated for all cases in which you want to refresh and reshape the skin in areas such as the face, but also the neck, arms or knees.

Effects of Prophilo

Undergoing this treatment allows for remarkable improvements in skin shape, volume and tone.

Specifically, due to the presence of HA that quickly integrates into the tissues, it allows the skin to be lifted with a facelift-like effect. This is in addition to the general firming of the skin structure, which is stimulated to produce elastin and collagen.

In the case of collagen, the natural remodeling process is affected with a stimulation of 4 different types of collagen.

On a general level, Prophilo then allows deep hydration of the skin.

Who is suitable for this solution

In order to have satisfactory results and not incur possible risks, one must have some basic “requirements.”

For example, as a matter of safety, it is not recommended to undergo Prophilo if you are allergic to any of the components, have a current infection, or are simply breastfeeding or pregnant.

In general, people who require Prophilo treatment are aged between 25 and 60 who want to improve an area-specific condition.

How Prophilo treatment works

Before Treatment

The steps prior to injections are of paramount importance toensure successful treatment. 

The first step is to have a medical consultation with the clinic in which the patient’s medical history and expectations are reviewed.

This is then followed by a joint discussion of what may be achievable results with Prophilo.

The day of surgery

Prophilo injections can be considered a non-invasive intervention. The doctor, after preparing the solution, sanitizes the body area and proceeds with injections in the appropriate areas.

The number of injections varies depending on factors such as age and results. The pain is generally low and associated with tolerable discomfort.

After treatment

The duration of injections generally does not exceed one hour. It may take up to one month of time to notice the final results.

The procedure can be repeated over time, usually after a period of one and a half years.
