Profhilo
Profhilo, a Bio Remodelling injectable treatment, is now available in Adelaide.
The first of its kind, Profhilo is the unique hyaluronic acid injectable gel, with a prolonged stimulating activity on dermal cells.
When injected into the skin, it stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, resulting in increased elasticity and support, thereby improving skin laxity and firmness.
One of the highest concentrations of hyaluronic acid on the market, this Bio Remodeller not only boosts and hydrates the skin, but also remodels ageing and sagging tissues.
The most common areas of treatment include the face and neck but can also be used for the décolletage, hands, arms, knees and abdominal area. This treatment is suitable for men and women of all ages.
FAQS
