Choosing Profhilo or Biostimulators

This is Profhilo

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 Biostimulators

Biostimulator fillers are a type of injection treatment that combines immediate volume enhancement with long-term stimulation of the skin's collagen and elastin production. Unlike traditional fillers, which only provide a temporary increase in volume, biostimulator fillers have a double-acting mechanism that both fills out and deeply improves the skin's structure.

By using biostimulators, a natural lift can be achieved, without the need to overfill areas that can give an unnatural appearance. The small amount of filler applied then works for up to 24 months after treatment to gradually tighten and rejuvenate the skin.

Some of the most well-known biostimulator filler brands are Radiesse, Bellafill and Ellansé, with Ellansé being one of the longest lasting fillers, up to 2 years, and this is what we offer at Dr Nina. These fillers can be used in areas such as cheekbones, nasolabial folds, marionette lines, jawline and temples, but should be avoided around the mouth, under the eyes and on the forehead where the skin is too thin.

Unlike hyaluronic acid-based fillers, biostimulators cannot be broken down by hyalase, making it particularly important to choose an experienced practitioner who can deal with any complications.

In general, biostimulators are best suited for people over the age of 35-40, whose skin has begun to lose elasticity and volume. Younger people can often achieve better results with traditional fillers.
