Profhilo
Nurse-led treatment for skin hydration and laxity in Finchampstead, Berkshire.
About Profhilo
What it is and how it works.
Over time, skin loses hyaluronic acid, collagen and elastin, which can leave it drier, thinner and less firm, especially on the face, neck, décolletage and hands.
At Tanton Brown Skin Clinic, Isabel, an NMC-registered Independent Nurse Prescriber, offers Profhilo, an injectable hyaluronic acid skin treatment. Her approach aims to improve hydration and skin quality without adding volume or changing your features.
How it works
Profhilo is injected just below the surface of the skin, where it spreads evenly. It hydrates the skin and supports its own collagen and elastin, with improvements developing over the following four weeks.
Benefits include
- Hydrates dry, tired-looking skin
- Helps improve skin firmness and elasticity
- Can be used on the face, neck, décolletage and hands
- Aims to improve overall skin quality
For skin that's losing its bounce and needs deep hydration.
