Profhilo (The 5-Point Lift)

As with most injectable treatments, the Profhilo liquid is strategically administered into precise points by our skilled doctor, and at precise levels (also known as the 5-point lift). The Hyaluronic Acid is slowly released and stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, renewing your skin from within. This way it volumises the areas of the face, where naturally volume loss is observed due to ageing. Its innovation however, is that it acts on the superficial layers of the skin too, by reducing fine lines and wrinkles in conjunction with the volume replacement.

The Hyaluronic Acid is slowly released and triggers the production of collagen and elastin over the ensuing weeks. Your skin should be noticeably firmer and smoother after four weeks as your tissue improves. However, optimal results should be observed after a second session of the treatment, with a recommended one month in between. This will also depend on your own situation, goals and needs.

Generally speaking, there is no downtime with Profhilo. You may experience some minor bruising or swelling at the point of injections. Other side-effects, such as allergic reactions, are rare.

There is some minor discomfort with the injections but generally it’s a painless procedure.

This can vary depending on your own goals and needs. However, as mentioned above, it is quite normal to first have two treatments, with one month in between. You progress will be monitored in free reviews, and your expectations discussed in your initial, no-obligation consultation available at our Rayleigh Essex, Harley Street and Holborn London clinics.

When considering the choice between Botox and Profhilo, it’s essential to understand the distinct objectives and mechanisms of each treatment. Profhilo is renowned for its focus on revitalising the skin’s quality and elasticity by providing deep hydration and stimulating collagen production. This treatment is particularly beneficial for addressing concerns related to aging, such as volume loss, dehydration, and dullness.

On the contrary, Botox is designed to temporarily relax facial muscles, effectively smoothing out wrinkles caused by repeated expressions. If dynamic wrinkles are a primary concern, Botox might be the more suitable option.

Ultimately, the decision between these two treatments depends on individual goals and preferences. Duringyour consultation, our experts  will advise you and suggest the most appropriate treatment plan based on your individual needs and your most desired outcomes.. If you aspire to achieve an overall improvement in skin quality, Profhilo could be the ideal choice, while those prioritising the reduction of dynamic wrinkles may find Botox to be more aligned with their objectives.
