NEW YEAR , NEW YOU OR NEW YEAR BETTER YOU ?
By Laura Spence Aesthetics
So with 2022 starting and everyone making new years resolutions we start to ask ourselves what can we do to improve ourselves , what do we need to do to make life easier or how can we be better in 2022 ?
Let ' s start with something simple , let ' s start with your skin !
Profhilo is fast becoming one of the UK ' s biggest and fastest selling treatments of the decade .
The first of its kind , Profhilo ® is a revolutionary ' beneath the skin ' hyaluronic acid moisturising treatment , made with the patented NAHYCO ® technology . This results in a unique hyaluronic acid injectable gel , which has a prolonged stimulating activity on the dermal cells . When injected into skin , Profhilo stimulates the skin cell receptors to counteract skin laxity and improve and restore firmness of the skin .
One of the highest concentrations of hyaluronic acid on the market , Profhilo not only boosts and hydrates the skin , but also remodels ageing and sagging tissue . The most common areas of treatment include the face and neck and can also be used for the décolletage , hands , arms , knees and abdomen area where it would effectively treat skin laxity . The treatment is suitable for men and women as well as offering skin benefits for patients of all ages .
Hyaluronic acid , a naturally occurring substance produced in our body and found in our skin , joints and connective tissue , binds moisture in the skin and aids collagen production . With age hyaluronic acid production slows and the skin looks duller and dehydrated , with fine lines and wrinkles forming . Hyaluronic acid is best known as a ‘ filler ’ and is usually used to give volume to lips or to contour other areas of the face .
Profhilo contains one of the highest concentrations of hyaluronic acid available for an aesthetic treatment . And due to
the development process which thermally bonds , rather than chemically , the treatment acts as a high performance hydrator and not a filler . Its gel like consistency distributes smoothly and evenly without the formation of any lumps – a potential risk with traditional fillers . This means it can be used on areas which are difficult to treat with traditional fillers , such as the neck and forehead . Profhilo ' s structure also allows it to flow over an extended area to boost hydration and smooth or ‘ remodel ’ the skin .
Not only does it now treat the face but they have also just launched the Profhilo body range designed to treat skin laxity all over the body . Often called a ' lunchtime facial treatment ' with immediate results , Profhilo is a quick treatment - taking about 15 minutes with no downtime . It is injected just under the skin , using very fine needles , in ten predetermined points ; five injection points on each side of the face to give optimum results . The fine needle means the treatment is relatively painless , feeling like a small scratch , and usually does not require a topical numbing cream prior to treatment .
At Laura Spence Aesthetics we only offer the full Profhilo treatment which consists of two sessions , one month apart , this is to ensure maximum results are achieved . If signs of ageing are significant an additional treatment may be recommended four to eight weeks later . We also recommend , after approximately six months , a maintenance treatment to prolong the effect .
The effects of Profhilo are subtle but immediate ; the skin will look smoother and brighter immediately following your first treatment . As time passes these effects are enhanced and can last up to six months , depending on skin type and lifestyle .
