WHAT IS A PROFHILO SKIN BOOSTER?
Have you come across the terms skin boosters and Profhilo but not been sure about what they do for your skin? Its understandable. Unless you are a fully qualified aesthetics practitioner, or have had the procedure before, you may not understand what these incredible treatments can do for you. We get asked a lot of questions about Profhilo and skin boosters, so here is our full guide on the skin booster and Profhilo treatments that we offer in our Derbyshire based clinic.
What are Skin Boosters?
Skin boosters are a term used for injectable treatments which aid deep hydration of the skin from the inside. These are different to dermal fillers, which add instant volume to your skin. Instead, skin boosters help to improve the skin texture and firmness over a longer time frame. They are not instantly dramatic, so you won’t leave the clinic feeling like you don’t recognise yourself, but you will notice a gradual improvement in your skin over a matter of weeks which will provide you with a refreshed look. Skin boosters are not a filler or a toxin, they are biostimulators which work with your bodies natural collagen and elastin production.
What is Profhilo?
Profhilo is a type of skin booster and an exceptional brand within the aesthetics industry. The name Profhilo is now often used as another way of saying ‘skin booster’ due to its popularity and reputation for this specific type of aesthetics procedure. At Naturally Flawless Aesthetics in Derbyshire, we use Profhilo as one of our skin booster options. We are also delighted to offer skin boosters from Seventy Hyal and Teoxane Redensity One. We use each of these skin boosting products because of their high quality performance. At your consultation we can discuss which type of skin booster is the right option for you based on your specific skin concerns.
What will skin boosters do for me?
Skin boosters support a number of skin concerns. One of the main concerns we recommend skin boosters for is when a patient wants to feel more refreshed within their own skin. Skin boosters, including Profhilo will provide a noticeable lifting and tightening effect to the skin. They will also aid improvement to the skins texture. Last but not least, Profhilo offers overall hydration for a natural glow. This is due to the hyaluronic acid, amino acid and vitamins contained within these skin boosters.
Will the results of skin boosters look natural?
Skin boosters provide an incredibly natural result. There will be no immediate transformation with this treatment, but you will start to notice each day after you have left the clinic that your ‘good skin days’ are every day. You will still look and feel just like you, but with incredible skin! Think glowy, well rested and hydrated skin.
Where can I have skin boosters?
Skin boosters can be applied to the cheeks, under eyes, smile lines and jawline. Skin boosters can also be used on the neck area too. We are happy to talk through the areas of concern that you have and we can advise if profhilo and skin boosters are the right aesthetics treatment for you.
Do skin boosters hurt and how long will it take to recover after the treatment?
Skin boosters are not typically painful. Most patients report a mild discomfort during the treatment. It is usual for redness and swelling to occur after having a Profhilo or skin booster treatment and this will usually subside within a couple of days.
What ingredients do skin boosters contain?
Skin boosters typically contain hyaluronic acid amongst other amino acids and peptides which all help to nourish, repair and regenerate the skin from the inside out. These ingredients work alongside your bodies own natural abilities to produce collagen and elastin.
How often will I need to have skin booster treatments?
The frequency of skin booster top ups depends on each patient, but a typical guide is around every 6 months. You can support the skin booster affects by maintaining a good skincare routine, remaining well hydrated and avoiding direct sun exposure. We also highly recommend a medical grade facial or two in between your profhilo treatments to keep your skin looking at its best.
