Profhilo
An injectable treatment that is designed to remodel the skin, Profhilo is an HA based product that helps to improve skin laxity.
Containing high concentration levels of Hyaluronic acid, this procedure boosts the skin’s hydration, aiding the firming of ageing skin that has started to sag.
Getting older contributes to the skin’s structure becoming weak. Collagen and elastin naturally start to diminish, with the regeneration of these two substances becoming less efficient. This in turn will lead to skin that loses its youthful tautness and stretchy properties, becoming loose and slack in appearance. Most commonly seen around the jawline, presenting as jowls, sagging skin can give off an aged appearance that looks tired and worn.
Injected just below the surface of the skin, Profhilo acts as a hydrator, rather than a filler. Stimulating the production of collagen and elastin, moisture levels can be restored and the skin can become more effective in bouncing back to its original form.
A course of 2 treatments, over a 4 week period may be recommended, providing instant hydration to the skin upon application.
A successful treatment for firming the skin, Profhilo can be a great alternative for those who are not quite ready to undergo fillers – delivering effective anti-ageing results to tighten and brighten the skin, as well as smoothing fine lines. The innovative properties that this product contains can act to significantly improve the overall quality of the skin, also being used to compliment a range of other aesthetic and cosmetic procedures.

“I went to see Dr McMillan for the first time about 1 year ago so she could revise some badly done under eye filler NOT DONE BY DR MCMILLAN, and she done the most fantastic job i had terrible anxiety from the previous injector and was very nervous, I done so much research but decided to go ahead with Dr McMillan as she was so reassuring and honest with it all.
