overview
What is Profhilo?
As we age, our bodies produce less collagen and elastin, the two proteins necessary for our skin to hold its shape. This inevitably leads to wrinkles and sagging. Profhilo is a regenerative anti-ageing treatment that uses highly purified hyaluronic acid to reactivate your stem cells. This triggers production of new tissue in skin, fat and muscle, empowering your skin to renew itself from within.
It replenishes areas such as the face, neck, décolletage and hands that have loosened and dropped. Unlike dermal fillers, it doesn't create any artificial volume.
And let’s face it, who doesn’t want new skin?

Benefits
Quick, effective and completely natural
Profhilo kickstarts a natural process to make aged and tired skin look fresh, vibrant and young again. After just two 15-minute treatments, you’ll notice significant improvements in skin firmness, elasticity, texture and tone. Unlike dermal fillers, Profhilo induces stem cell reproduction, helping restore skin and fat layers to their natural state. Profhilo’s high ‘spreadability’ makes the procedure much more comfortable, as only five injection points are required on each side of the face.

Complementary treatments
Profhilo can be used to enhance:
-
Botox & Fillers
As Profhilo and botulinum toxin treat different parts of the skin and face, the best results are sometimes achieved when the two are done together.
As Profhilo and botulinum toxin treat different parts of the skin and face, the best results are sometimes achieved when the two are done together.
Profhilo works on your dermis, the thick layer of skin under your epidermis, hydrating and regenerating the tissues. Botulinum toxin works on your muscles, blocking the signal from the nerves to the muscles so that the muscles relax and lines and wrinkles soften and fade.
Botulinum toxin is effective in treating forehead lines, laughter lines and crow’s feet, whilst Profhilo can be administered concurrently to improve skin laxity in the lower areas of the face.

Laser skin resurfacing
Profhilo can be used to enhance the results of CO2RE Laser Skin Resurfacing. A CO2RE treatment will remove the damaged parts of the skin’s outer layer so that the tissue beneath can grow into new, fresh, undamaged skin.

Then Profhilo can protect and bolster the new skin as it grows, enhancing the overall result and improving its longevity.
Timing of combined treatment protocols is essential, as Profhilo is not a suitable treatment while a patient is still undergoing laser skin resurfacing. Your doctor will create a combined treatment plan to ensure safety and efficacy.

Ultherapy
Ultherapy and Profhilo are synergistic anti-ageing treatments because they work on different structures beneath the skin where ageing is taking place.
Ultherapy and Profhilo are synergistic anti-ageing treatments because they work on different structures beneath the skin where ageing is taking place.
Ultherapy is the best non-invasive alternative to a surgical facelift, with no downtime. It delivers heat energy directly to the fibrous tissues deep beneath the skin, boosting skin health and creating a natural lifting and tightening effect. Profhilo complements this by improving skin tone, texture, hydration, firmness and elasticity.
Together, Ultherapy and Profhilo promote healthier, smoother and more radiant skin that has been renewed and rejuvenated from within.

Infinite-Thread® Lift
As our Infinite-Thread® Lift is a non-surgical facelift that tightens and smoothens the face and neck, Profhilo is an excellent complementary treatment.
As our Infinite-Thread® Lift is a non-surgical facelift that tightens and smoothens the face and neck, Profhilo is an excellent complementary treatment.
Once the Infinite-Thread® Lift has repositioned the skin, lifting it to where it was before ageing caused it to sag, Profhilo then works to keep it there. It does this by reactivating your stem cells, regenerating your skin from within.
In effect, the Infinite-Thread® Lift is about improving the look and feel of your existing skin and Profhilo is about creating new, fresh skin that shouldn’t sag in the first place. Working in tandem, you get instant, permanent results with an Infinite-Thread® Lift and a powerful and noticeable boost to your skin’s health and longevity with Profhilo.

Process
How does it work?
Profhilo involves injecting highly purified hyaluronic acid into strategic areas of the skin. When treating the face, we inject at 5 specific bio-aesthetic points (BAPs) on each side. The Profhilo spreads naturally from there and gets to work. It starts by hydrating the skin, then it stimulates collagen and elastin production to rejuvenate the skin from the inside out. It will also restore tissue strength by causing your stem cells to transform into new skin, fat and muscle cells. We can also modify the BAP technique to suit your individual needs.

Who will benefit from a Profhilo treatment?
You will
Profhilo is perfect for anyone that is looking to refresh their skin by stimulating growth of new skin cells. Profhilo can be used as a standalone treatment, rejuvenating the skin from the inside out. It can also be used to enhance any facial treatments that you may be having here at Riverbanks. It works really well with Botox & Fillers, CO2RE lasers and Ultherapy.

How will I feel?
You’ll feel like you really have turned back the clock. You’ll feel refreshed, healthy and comfortable in your skin again, and looking absolutely radiant. As Profhilo is non-surgical and requires no anaesthetic, you can be back at work as soon as you leave the clinic. The transformative improvements to the quality of your skin are noticeable within a day and can last up to six months.
Many of our patients are asked 'why do you look so good?' and the simple answer is ‘Profhilo’. In fact, word of mouth recommendation is the biggest reason this treatment has been such a global success.

Riverbanks’ Expertise

It’s unique in that it treats the source of ageing rather than the symptoms of it, kicking the process into reverse. If you’re looking for a more natural way of warding off wrinkles and lines, Profhilo could be just what the doctor ordered.
