Profhilo & Lumi Eyes Benfleet

Profhilo In Benfleet

Profhilo treatments in Benfleet, Essex at Monika Advanced Aesthetics. As we get older, the skin can become lax, dry and dehydrated and this isn’t just the skin on our faces. Other areas which succumb to ageing can include the neck and the decolletage. No matter how many creams we apply, these areas can really start to struggle, due to the loss of substances in the skin, such as collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid.

Profhilo is a brand name for a type of injectable hyaluronic acid gel used for cosmetic purposes. It is specifically designed to provide hydration and elasticity to the skin, making it look smoother, firmer, and more youthful. Profhilo is often used for facial rejuvenation, and it is injected directly into the skin using a small needle.

Unlike some other dermal fillers, Profhilo is not designed to add volume to the face. Instead, it works by stimulating the body’s natural production of collagen and elastin, which are the proteins that keep the skin looking plump and firm. This makes Profhilo a popular option for people who want to improve the overall quality of their skin without adding extra volume or changing the shape of their face.

Like other injectables, Profhilo is a relatively easy treatment that takes only about 15 minutes.

Profhilo is always injected in a standard pattern of 10 injection points, often referred to as bio-aesthetic points (BAP). After each injection, you can expect a stinging sensation for up to 90 seconds as the substance gets situated in the skin.

The treatment is considered relatively painless, and most people experience little to no discomfort during the injection process.

How many treatments of Profhilo will I need?

Initially, Profhilo is delivered in 2 treatments, within one month to 6 weeks of each other, as a booster dose is required to start the skin working to replenish itself. You should then see significant results at around a month after the second treatment, though many patients see results much faster. Some patients who are experiencing significant skin ageing, may require a third treatment, but this will be discussed with you, in your pre-treatment consultation.

Polynucleotide In Benfleet

Polynucleotide (PN) skin treatment, also known as PN therapy or DNA therapy, is a cosmetic procedure that involves using polynucleotide molecules derived from salmon DNA to rejuvenate the skin. PN therapy is based on the principle that polynucleotides can stimulate cell growth, repair damaged tissues, and improve overall skin health.

Prices

Polynucleotide Treatment 1 session £180

Polynucleotide Treatment 2 sessions £340

Polynucleotide Treatment Booster £160

Benefits Of Polynucleotide

Anti-aging: PN therapy is often used to address signs of aging, such as wrinkles, fine lines, and loss of skin elasticity. By stimulating collagen production and promoting cellular regeneration, PN treatments can help rejuvenate the skin and reduce the appearance of aging.

Skin rejuvenation: PN therapy can improve overall skin texture, tone, and radiance, making it a popular choice for individuals looking to achieve a more youthful and vibrant complexion.

Scar reduction: PN therapy may help diminish the appearance of scars resulting from acne, surgery, or injury by promoting tissue repair and regeneration. It can help smooth out uneven skin texture and minimize the visibility of scars over time.

Hydration: Polynucleotides have hydrating properties that can boost moisture levels in the skin, making PN therapy beneficial for individuals with dry or dehydrated skin. Hydrated skin tends to appear plumper, smoother, and more youthful.

Wound healing: PN therapy has been studied for its potential to accelerate the healing process of wounds, burns, and other skin injuries. By promoting tissue regeneration and repair, PN treatments may help wounds heal more quickly and effectively.

Hair restoration: Some clinics offer PN therapy as a treatment for hair loss or thinning. By promoting blood circulation to the scalp and stimulating hair follicles, PN treatments may help improve hair growth and thickness.

APPLICATION of PN solution:

Topical application: The PN solution may be applied directly to the skin and gently massaged in.

Microneedling: Microneedling involves using a device with fine needles to create tiny punctures in the skin’s surface. The PN solution is then applied to the skin, allowing it to penetrate deeper into the skin layers and enhance its effectiveness.

Mesotherapy: In mesotherapy, the PN solution is injected into the skin using a series of tiny needles or a mesotherapy gun. This allows for precise delivery of the solution to targeted areas of the skin.

HOW MANY TREATMENTS WILL I NEED?

Multiple treatment sessions may be recommended to achieve optimal results, with sessions spaced several weeks apart. The number of sessions required will depend on the individual’s skin condition and treatment goals.

SIDE EFFECTS:

While polynucleotide (PN) skin treatments are generally considered safe and well-tolerated, like any cosmetic procedure, there can be potential side effects. Here are some possible side effects associated with PN therapy:

  1. Temporary redness, swelling, or irritation at the treatment site.
  2. Increased sensitivity or tenderness in the treated area.
  3. Occasional bruising, particularly with injection or microneedling techniques.
  4. Temporary dryness or peeling as the skin undergoes rejuvenation.
  5. Rare risk of allergic reactions, infection, or changes in skin pigmentation.

Aftercare

  1. Avoid Sun Exposure: Protect your skin from direct sunlight for at least a week after treatment. If exposure is unavoidable, use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher.
  2. Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water to keep your skin hydrated from within. Moisturize your skin regularly to maintain its moisture barrier.
  3. Avoid Harsh Products: Refrain from using harsh skincare products, such as exfoliants or products containing alcohol, for a few days post-treatment.
  4. Gentle Cleansing: Cleanse your skin gently with a mild, non-irritating cleanser. Avoid scrubbing or rubbing the treated area vigorously.
  5. Minimize Makeup: If possible, avoid wearing makeup for the first 24-48 hours after treatment to allow your skin to breathe and recover.
  6. Follow Provider’s Instructions: Adhere to any specific post-treatment instructions provided by your healthcare provider, including follow-up appointments and skincare recommendations.
  7. Monitor for Reactions: Keep an eye out for any unusual or severe reactions, such as excessive redness, swelling, itching, or rash. If you experience any concerning symptoms, contact your provider promptly.
  8. Be Patient: Results from PN therapy may take time to fully manifest. Be patient and consistent with your skincare routine to achieve optimal outcomes.

By following these aftercare guidelines and staying in touch with your healthcare provider, you can help ensure a smooth recovery process and enhance the effectiveness of your PN skin treatment.
