What is Profhilo®?

Winner of the most innovative treatment at the Aesthetic Awards in 2016, Profhilo® is a real game changer. It is a bio remodelling treatment which works to cure wrinkles from within rather than just fill them.

Profhilo® deeply hydrates the skin whilst adding weightless volume for a youthful look. In addition, it has a unique lifting and tightening effect to remodel sagging and ageing tissue.

We use this treatment on the face, neck and hands.

How does it Work?

Profhilo® has been specially formulated to contain a unique level of Hyaluronic Acid (a naturally occurring substance found in our bodies that is responsible for maintaining moisture within our skin), which helps to encourage the production of collagen and elastin across the skin.

Because of the way that Profhilo® has been made, it acts as a hydrator rather than a filler. It plumps and makes tired, dull and ageing skin more luminous.

How is the Treatment Administered?

The substance is injected just below the skin’s surface in just two sessions over a period of 4 weeks. It disperses quickly across the skin to instantly boost hydration and smooth fine lines and wrinkles, giving an overall improved skin texture.

I simply adore this treatment.

Being in my mid forties, my skin had started to look dehydrated and I had plenty of fine lines.  Dr Yusra recommended I try Profhilo, within a week my skin was firmer,  hydrated, plumped and glowing. I simply adore this treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common side-effects of Profhilo® are similar to other types of fillers and include mild bruising and swelling. Risks are the same as other fillers and can include allergic reaction or infection, although these are exceptionally rare.

Following on from Profhilo® there is the chance that localised lumps can form where each of the injection sites have been. These lumps will subside usually within 4-6 hours after the treatment but they can last up to 24 hours. Not every client gets these swellings and if you have had treatment and are concerned please do give us a call.

The downtime is minimal. When injected using the five-point technique on each side of the face, each insertion is immediately noticeable.  However, they start diffusing very quickly and they disappear completely by the next day.

After the treatment, we recommend avoiding physical strain and sports for 24 hours. Please also avoid having further cosmetic procedures for 48 hours. It is not recommended to have sauna or steamy bath for the first few days either. It’s best to stay out of the sun if any bruising or prolonged swelling occurs.

Patients can expect to see results after two sessions.

Usually, people won’t be able to tell that you have had treatment as the results are enhanced, natural-looking skin. However, this depends on the skin condition being treated and the desired outcome. Profhilo® can significantly improve skin laxity. By increasing the tissue density some patients have seen some lifting, which can be noticeable.  Most patients said that they were complimented on how fresh they looked, but hardly ever asked what they had had done.

Hyaluronic Acid is very well tolerated by the skin. The only reported side effects are bruising and mild swelling at the injection sites. These generally disappear in a short period of time and are associated with the needle, not the product.

Profhilo® was launched in February 2015 in Italy. It’s been used worldwide ever since. Over 150,000 patients have been treated so far with no adverse reactions reported. From a safety perspective, Profhilo®  is highly biocompatible. That’s because it is made from ultrapure, natural Hyaluronic Acid and is stabilised without the addition of chemical cross-linking agents. This reduces the risk of adverse reactions.

After your treatment, common side effects include mild redness, slight swelling and possible bruising. The treatment area may feel tender to touch and all of these effects are normal. These effects will subside in a few days, but may last up to a week. Each day, symptoms should improve slightly and the area should look more normal and feel better.

It is very uncommon to have any serious side effects, however if you do experience any of the following, please call the clinic immediately, or if after hours, seek help from a GP or A&E:

  • Swelling that is getting worse as time passes
  • Increase in pain and getting more severe with time
  • Skin feeling hot, redness increasing and becoming worse in time
  • Skin near the treatment area or along the side of the nose looking pale/white or greyish in colour on the day or day after the treatment, and pain increasing in this area
  • Generally feeling unwell in the days following your treatment

Our Medical Injectors are experienced with all aspects of HA Dermal Fillers and the type of results that can be achieved. Dermal filler treatment is not ‘one size fits all’, and the injector will discuss the best ‘look’ for you in your bespoke, detailed consultation. We can assure you that your treatment will be delivered safely and in accordance with your wishes based on a thorough consultation. Dermal Fillers are a popular treatment because most people are really happy with the results.

We do not recommend that you have any injectable treatments if you suspect or can confirm that you are pregnant. We also recommend that you have completely finished breastfeeding before returning for your aesthetic treatments.

I have been coming to Dr Yusra’s clinic for almost a year and have been seeing Dr Lauren for lip and chin filler and Dr Yusra for non-surgical rhinoplasty. I feel so at ease from the moment I enter the clinic and all throughout the procedure. I know that I am in safe hands and I trust that I will be given their honest and professional opinion and that they have the skills and knowledge to assess what will work for my face to give a bespoke service - I never feel worried that I will look fake or have too much filler injected as they will guide me to what suits my face. Dr Lauren and Dr Yusra are also incredibly lovely people and always have a smile on their face - I always look forward to my appointments so much and leave with a spring in my step! I was thinking about getting filler for years and now I feel so much more confident in myself and can see an improvement in my appearance and self-confidence after each session. Thank you Dr Lauren and Dr Yusra!

A really pleasant experience from start to finish. The staff were very welcoming and accommodating and the clinic is beautiful! Dr Yusra was very professional, but also put me at ease throughout my treatment constantly asking if I was OK. I definitely received a 5 star service and I am really pleased with my results. I would 100% recommend Dr Yusra and will be visiting again soon. Thanks to all the staff also!!

Such an high quality, friendly clinic! As soon as you walk in you feel such at ease and relaxed. Receptionist greets you with smiles. The clinic has such a calming presence. During my appointment, Dr Yusra listened to my concerns throughly and what outcome i wanted from the treatment. After having treatment I felt 100% more confident when I looked in the mirror than when I first walked in. All the aftercare and follow up call just shows how they care so much for there clients. Can’t wait to be back soon.

One of my favourite places. I have been having some corrective work with Dr Yusra and some skin consultations to help improve my confidence. I’ve found Dr Y very attentive and offers me the explanations and advice I’ve longed for. My results are amazing and I am so pleased I chose this state of the art facility ran only by qualified medical professionals.

What a beautiful clinic and environment. This was my first time receiving any treatment and after searching around I found Dr Yusra clinic. I followed her work before deciding on having tear trough filler and smile lines done. Upon entering the clinic I was very nervous because I wanted the work to look very natural. The reception staff made me feel welcomed and reassured me. I was taken in to Dr. Yusra’s room and Dr. Yusra had a lengthily chat about what I was trying to achieve. She made me feel very comfortable and in safe hands. I love my results it was extremely natural looking and I only had a tiny bruise which I was surprised at considering I bruise easily. I would recommend this Clinic and I will be returning in the future. Amazing staff and a beautiful clean environment

I couldn’t recommend Dr Yusra and her amazing team enough 🤩 As soon as you step foot in the door of her beautiful Liverpool Clinic you are immersed into a relaxing haven. You can completely switch off from all of life’s distractions and let her and all of her friendly team take care of you 🥰 From start to finish you just know you are in such good hands 🙌🏼 Her kind and super supportive team make sure that you completely understand the whole treatment process and talk you through each step of the journey as well as outlining everything you need to do post procedure to ensure your absolutely safety before, during and after! Your wellness is at the heart of everything that they do 🫶🏼 Oh, and make sure that you visit the beach while you visit 😍 (As if the experience wasn’t already perfect enough) x
