Is Profhilo Effective for Under-Eye Skin Tightening?

As we get older, we begin to show signs of age in a number of different ways. Whether through fine lines, wrinkles, or other marks on the skin, all these signs of age on our skin can have a detrimental impact on self-esteem. As the skin under our eyes is thinner than the rest of our body, the signs of age can become more prominent here than in other areas of our face. So, is Profhilo an effective treatment for tightening the skin under our eyes?

Profhilo consists of injections using concentrated hyaluronic acid to strategic positions around the face, effectively hydrating and rejuvenating skin below the eyes. By stimulating collagen and elastin production, skin appears tighter, firmer and smoother with Profhilo injections.

Can Profhilo Reduce Signs of Age Under My Eyes?

Profhilo injections are now recognised as a revolutionary treatment for improving skin texture, especially for skin underneath our eyes. Consisting of concentrated hyaluronic acid, these injections help to stimulate collagen and elastin production to target multiple signs of ageing. Profhilo treatment can be used to rejuvenate tired, dull-looking skin below the eyes and help your face to appear firmer, smoother and younger.

Where Are Injections Used?

To ensure the hyaluronic acid is able to deliver even results, Profhilo is administered strategically throughout the face using a fine needle, typically in five distinct areas on each side of the face:

• Upper cheek
• Nasal base
• Lower cheek
• Jawline
• Chin

By using injections for multiple locations on the face, deep layers of the skin can be targeted and the formula disperses evenly, delivering stunning results for skin texture.

What Are the Benefits of Receiving Profhilo for Under-Eye Wrinkles?

There are a number of benefits to receiving Profhilo under eyes treatment compared to other forms of aesthetic treatment, including:

• Improve skin tone, reducing dullness around the eyes

• Achieve a more youthful appearance by reducing skin laxity below the eyes

• Stimulate collagen and elastin for a firmer under-eye area

Profhilo is also considered to be a less intensive treatment compared to receiving dermal fillers, and can deliver more even results.

How Many Rounds of Injections Will I Need?

To achieve the maximum results of Profhilo, you will likely need multiple rounds of injections. To begin with, we would usually recommend an initial treatment followed by a second round of injections four weeks later. 

 

How Long Will it Take to See Results?

While Profhilo for under-eye wrinkles stimulates collagen and elastin and hydrates the skin, it can take time for the results to show their full effect. Following the injections, the skin quality under your eyes should visibly improve in the ensuing weeks. After one month following initial injections, the most significant results will typically be visible.

How Long Will the Results Last?

While some of the skin rejuvenation will occur immediately after your initial treatment, the body will need time to produce the elastin and collagen that Profhilo stimulates. Results of these injections can last up to a year and, with top-up sessions, even longer.

 

Are There Any Side Effects to Profhilo?

Being a minimally-invasive procedure, the side effects of Profhilo injections are generally limited to mild swelling and bruising at the site of injection. Such side effects tend to subside within a few days of treatment. Any adverse side effects are very rare, and minimal downtime is required following treatment. However, we recommend that you do not participate in strenuous exercise or apply makeup for 24 hours after receiving Profhilo injections. This will help to maximise the treatment’s effectiveness and achieve optimal results.
