Why we love Profilo

Posted on 29th October 2019 by Dr Yusra Al-Mukhtar

As we age, our skin loses hydration internally as the production of collagen starts decreasing after the age of 30. Unfortunately, even the most expensive creams and serums can only go so far in hydrating our skin and sadly, no amount of face cream can penetrate the deeper layers of the skin.

Here is where Profhilo® comes to the rescue! It’s perfect for areas like the face, neck, and décolletage that need hydrating, smoothing and tightening. 

What is Profhilo and how does it work?

Profhilo has won the award for the best injectable product in Europe. Profhilo is an injectable treatment that stimulates the natural production of 4 different types of collagen and elastin in the skin. The benefit isn’t just by boosting collagen but also rehydrating the skin, improving elasticity and smoothing the skins’ texture by using the slow release of hyaluronic acid over the course of 2 treatments. 

Profhilo would be beneficial for those who have:

  • thin crepey skin
  • Fine lines and wrinkles
  • Dehydrated skin  

Profhilo is not like a traditional dermal filler as the hyaluronic acid in it is “super-thin”and is of much higher content. We think of it as more like an “injectable moisturiser” that encourages the skin to repair and hydrate itself.

It is the perfect treatment for those of you who would rather hold off dermal fillers, but still want to walk out there with fresh-looking, flawless skin.

What does the treatment entail? 

The treatment consists of up to 10 small injections. For the best results, it is recommended that you undergo two Profhilo treatments 4 – 6 weeks apart. Another session might be required around 6 months after the initial treatment in case the skin is particularly dehydrated and crepey. The effects last for around 9 months. 

With the cold weather coming up, why not treat your skin to a burst of moisture, for a brighter and smoother complexion?

I visited Dr Yusra’s clinic for non surgical rhinoplasty. I was so impressed with the whole experience from start to finish. Dr Yusra and her team were extremely professional, listening to my concerns and what I hoped to achieve from the procedure. I’d like to give a special mention to Lucy who looked after me pre and post treatment, she was so friendly, knowledgeable and made me feel completely at ease. I look forward to my next visit.

September 2023: I’ve been going to Dr Yusra’s clinic for the last nine months and can honestly say the change in my skin is so apparent that people on Teams calls at work tell me I’m glowing. Dr Lauren has been doing my skin treatments since May with Co2 laser (following secret pro with Olivia) and 3 rounds of subcision with skin boosters. Dr Lauren takes time to explain the science behind the treatments before we do them so I have a realistic idea of the healing and results process. Dr Yusra is also always on hand for any queries too and as soon as you enter the Liverpool clinic, you’re given such a warm and friendly greeting by the team. Despite it being far from me, it is without a doubt worth the drive to get high quality results. Update: I've had two sessions of SecretPro with Olivia and can see a huge difference in my skin so far. Olivia is so professional, patient and took the time to go through the process before and after treatment to ensure I was comfortable. Couldn't recommend Olivia and the team at Dr Yusra's enough! Having been to Dr Yusra’s clinic before, I’ve always found them to have a high standard of care. I’ve recently been in contact with Olivia to help me with the next stage of my skin journey and have been so happy with the helpful advice and assistance she’s given me. I decided to start treatment at Dr Yusra’s clinic because the treatments being offered are different to those I’ve seen elsewhere with really impressive results on other patients. I trust I’m in good hands and excited to continue this journey to finally sorting out my skin!!

I had 3 areas of Botox as well as masseter Botox with Dr Emily and she is so lovely, listens to any queries you have (even if you think it’s a silly question) and puts you at ease through your procedure. I have a lot of pain in my jaw when eating and grinding my teeth in my sleep, Dr Emily was able to talk me through the procedure for helping this and since having masseter Botox I haven’t had pain while eating and there’s no pain when I wake up. Would definite recommend the clinic and Dr Emily.

I went to see Dr. Emily for a non-surgical nose job, and I couldn't be happier with how everything turned out. Dr. Emily was super caring and understanding, and she made me feel totally comfortable. The results are amazing, and I already feel so much more confident. I'd definitely recommend Dr. Emily – she's really awesome at what she does!

I have had treatments from Dr Yusra and team over the past few years and despite having to travel quite a distance for this clinic it is 10000% worth the journey. They are careful and expert in the treatments they deliver, and I always feel in safe hands. I would like to thank Dr Emily especially, I have not visited a different clinician or clinic since first seeing her for my treatments and I am always very happy with the results. As well as being talented she is just lovely and a pleasure to visit.

Dr Yusra and the Gang and the best in the biz. High flyers, they are wildcats who know exactly what to do, whatever you need whether it’s skincare, dental or just needing a confidence boost. They’re the best in the biz.

I have been with Dr Yusra for 3 years, and Ive never looked back, with some small tweaks she allowed me to feel confident again. If anyone is hesitant or looking for the perfect aesthetician I couldn’t recommend this clinic enough! Thank you!
