Injectable HA biostimulator such as Profhilo® belongs to a class of bio-remodelling “injectable skincare” that addresses skin laxity and signs of ageing. This is achieved through the bio-stimulation of collagen, elastin and adipocyte stem cells that were lost through skin ageing. This treatment firms and tightens skin, boosts hydration, and improves skin texture.
The type of injectable HA biostimulator we offer has one of the highest concentrations of hyaluronic acid (64mg/2ml) among the different types of injectables. This is made possible with NAHYCO® Technology, where 32mg of high molecular HA and 32mg of low molecular HA bind together through thermal cross-linking to form the Hybrid Cooperative Complex Hyaluronic (HCC) Acid. This allows for lower inflammatory response and higher spreadability, which in turn translates to a better safety profile, fewer injection points, and reduced downtime.
Administration of a full 2 ml syringe requires only 5 injection points on each side of the face or neck. This reduces discomfort and the risk of bruising or haematoma.
Side effects are minimal. You may notice small bumps at the injection sites, bruising may also occur. The benefits will not be immediately visible, full results are typically observed 4-8 weeks after the second syringe.
A typical treatment program is made up of two syringes, administered 4 weeks apart, a third syringe may be necessary for patients with more severe laxity. Maintenance sessions should be repeated every 6-9 months.
Injectable biostimulators can be combined with HIFU or SkinTyte for maximal skin tightening and lifting.
