Choosing between Profhilo and Dermapen?
Both Profhilo and Dermapen are advanced treatments aimed at improving skin quality and combating the signs of ageing, but they differ in their composition and mode of action. Here we go through exactly what they are, read on to find out which is best for you!
Profhilo vs dermapen
Profhilo offers a unique solution that improves the overall condition of the skin and combats the signs of ageing. Unlike traditional fillers, Profhilo stimulates the skin's natural ability to produce collagen and elastin.
Profhilo contains a high concentration of hyaluronic acid, a key component in maintaining the skin's moisture balance and elasticity. The treatment is usually performed in two sessions, one month apart, with the active ingredient strategically placed on the face or other desired areas.
Unlike fillers that focus primarily on filling in wrinkles and lines, Profhilo works in a more holistic way to improve the overall quality of the skin. The result is more vital, supple and radiant skin with improved moisture balance and elasticity.
The effects of Profhilo are quickly felt and can last up to a year. It is therefore suitable for people of all ages who want to improve their skin quality and counteract ageing, without drastically changing their facial features.
By stimulating the skin's natural healing processes, rather than simply filling it in, Profhilo offers an innovative and sustainable solution to achieve a healthier and more youthful skin tone.
This is Dermapen
Dermapen is an advanced microneedling treatment that effectively stimulates collagen production in the skin. By creating thousands of microscopic channels into the skin, natural collagen production is activated, gradually building up a fine and smooth complexion from within. This treatment method is more in-depth than regular microdermabrasion or a lighter chemical peel, and is similar to the effect of fractional laser, but with a shorter recovery time.
A Dermapen treatment is particularly effective in treating a variety of skin problems, such as acne scars, impurities, fine lines and wrinkles, pigmentation, large pores and sagging skin. The treatment can be applied to the entire face, neck and décolleté for a smoother and healthier skin quality. The result is firmer, younger and more radiant skin.
The treatment itself takes between half an hour and an hour, depending on the area to be treated. The smallest needle depths are barely felt at all, while a deeper treatment for scars, for example, may be felt a little more, but not to the extent that anaesthesia is required. The microchannels created also allow active substances such as hyaluronic acid to be channelled deep into the skin, stimulating collagen and strengthening the skin from within.
Dermapen is a safe and effective alternative to fractional laser, but with a shorter recovery time and the ability to treat all skin types and tones. Our experienced practitioners will customise the treatment to your individual skin type and needs for the best possible results.
