Why Hydration Is the Foundation of Healthy Skin And How Profhilo Takes It to the Next Level
How Profhilo Takes It to the Next Level
We talk a lot about hydration in skincare. Drink more water. Use a good moisturiser. Layer your serums. And yes, all of that matters. But there's a level of deep, structural hydration that no topical product can truly reach and that's where Profhilo comes in.
What Does "Hydrated Skin" Really Mean?
Hydrated skin isn't just skin that feels soft to the touch. It's skin that holds moisture at a cellular level, maintains its elasticity, and has the strength to repair and renew itself. When skin is truly hydrated, it looks plump, calm, and lit from within. When it's not, it can feel tight, look dull, and fine lines become far more noticeable.
The challenge is that as we age, our skin's ability to retain moisture naturally declines. Hyaluronic acid (the molecule responsible for keeping skin plump and bouncy), decreases over time. No matter how consistent your skincare routine is, this is something that happens beneath the surface, beyond what creams and serums can address alone.
Where Profhilo Comes In
Profhilo is an injectable skin treatment that works differently from fillers or anti-wrinkle injections. Rather than adding volume or relaxing muscles, it delivers a high concentration of hyaluronic acid deep into the skin, essentially flooding the tissue with the very thing it's been losing.
Once absorbed, Profhilo stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, the proteins that give skin its firmness and resilience. The result isn't a dramatic change in appearance, it's your skin, but better. Smoother, more hydrated, and noticeably more radiant.
Who Is It For?
Profhilo suits a wide range of people. If you're in your late 20s or 30s and noticing your skin looking a little tired or lacklustre, it can restore that healthy glow. If you're in your 40s or beyond and feeling like skincare alone isn't cutting it anymore, Profhilo can be a genuine game-changer.
It's also a wonderful complement to a consistent skincare routine, not a replacement for it. Think of your daily routine as maintaining what you have, and Profhilo as investing in the foundation beneath it.
What to Expect
Treatment involves a small number of injections at specific points on the face (and sometimes the neck or hands). Most people find it comfortable and are back to their day immediately after. Results build gradually over a couple of weeks, with many people opting for two sessions spaced a month apart, followed by a maintenance session every six months or so.
If you've been curious about Profhilo, or wondering whether it might be the missing piece in your skincare routine, we'd love to chat. Book a consultation and we'll help you figure out whether it's the right fit for your skin and your goals.
Because truly hydrated skin isn't just about what you put on it, it's about what's happening within it.
