How does Profhilo work?
Profhilo is a highly concentrated BDDE-free form of hyaluronic acid. It is produced without additives/chemicals/ cross linking to stablise the product, unlike traditional HA fillers.
Unlike fillers that add volume, Profhilo acts to slowly stimulate your skin’s own collagen and elastin production to tighten, hydrate, and improve skin texture, a process known as bio-remodelling.
It is injected at specific points on the face / neck and flows under the skin to areas of greatest skin laxity.
