Profhilo is the first BDDE-free stabilised injectable hyaluronic acid (HA) based product for treating skin laxity. With one of the highest concentrations of HA on the market (64mg/2ml) it not only boosts and hydrates the skin, but also remodels the ageing and sagging tissue.
Profhilo lasts in the skin around 28 days. During this time the stimulation of four different types of collagen and elastin takes place by slow release of HA. The stimulation results in significant tissue improvement. Therefore it is more than simply a skin booster as it also has a significant tightening/lifting effect on the tissue as well. Profile doesn’t need to be massaged and leaves no nodules.
During the treatment Dr Qureshi will use only 5 injection points thereby allowing you to be more comfortable. The profhilo will spread to the desired areas and provide volume and hydration across the skin, giving an overall rejuvenated appearance. Due to it being able to act at the same time at the different injection points it allows the face to be lifted evenly.
After just a single course of Profhilo®, which involves 2 injectable treatments 4 weeks apart, you can expect to see an intense hydration. It makes the skin glow and fine lines can disappear. You’ll notice smoother, tighter skin. Even for those with very wrinkled skin, an improvement in the texture is undeniable. The results from Profhilo® treatments will most often last for up to six months, but results can differ from person to person.
Due to the way that Profhilo® is formulated, it is not a volumising treatment in the same way that dermal fillers are, and is not used to enhance specific areas of the face (e.g. lips, cheeks, chin). Profhilo® is primarily a hydrating treatment, and the Hyaluronic Acid it contains is dispersed evenly throughout the face, giving your skin a more plump and firm look overall

There is minimal discomfort during the treatment. The new generation of dermal fillers contain a numbing local anesthetic, which makes the procedure relatively painless. Prior to the treatment an anesthetic will be applied (If required) to keep any pain to a minimum. The treated area will be sore and tender for a couple of hours post procedure, and tender for a few days post procedure.
At elixircosmetics we take every precaution for a clean and safe procedure, only sterilized equipment and new syringes are used for every procedure in a sanitized environment. Clients should follow our post procedure recommendations, and there should be minimal risks or complications.
Some clients may experience some slight swelling or bruising post treatment, this is normal. The extent on how this affects the client usually depends on how easily they bruise, usually it’s very minor. You may also notice that the injected area will be tender for up to 5 days following the treatment. Dr Qureshi is always on hand to answer any questions or concerns. After the treatment, it is recommended to avoid physical strain and sports for 24 hours. Please also avoid having further cosmetic procedures for 48 hours. It is not recommended to go to a sauna or have a steamy bath for the first few days either. It’s best to stay out of the sun if any bruising or prolonged swelling occurs.
The treatment is recommended over two sessions, usually one month apart for the best results. A further treatment may be required after six months to maintain the skins appearance.
