Aging symptoms are particularly noticeable when they appear in our skin. If you are looking for a way to turn back the hands of time and relive your younger looking skin, then this is the sign for you to contact us and book a consultation to know deeply about the youthful wonders that Profhilo can bring.
Seven Inevitable and Common Aging Symptoms
Skincare products are great, but reaching a certain age in life can render them a bit useless when dealing with aging symptoms. These products, while beneficial in countless ways, cannot ultimately defy the body’s natural aging process. The initial signs of aging begin to show by the age of 25. These include:
- Age spots
- Dryness
- Dullness
- Enlarged pores
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Roughness
- Uneven skin tone
Age spots. These are identified by tiny spots on the skin that are dark and flat. Age spots typically develop in parts of the body that are regularly exposed to the sun such as the hands, arms, shoulders, decolletage, and face. This aging symptom can develop on anyone, but it is more common in older adults and those with lighter skin. It is caused by the body’s excessive production of pigment as triggered by Ultraviolet (UV) rays from the sun or commercial tanning devices.
Dryness. Dry skin can happen at any point in life. Patches of dry skin can appear flaky or scaly and they may feel itchy or rough to the touch. Dry skin can also lead to deep cracks in the skin that result in small wounds. There are various factors that cause dry skin, including:
- Aging
- Environment
- Excessive bathing or scrubbing
- Products that are harsh to the skin
- Medical drugs or treatments
- Weather
- Underlying medical condition
With aging, skin dryness happens due to the body’s inability to produce the right amount of oils which helps in retaining skin moisture.
Dullness. This symptom happens when the cell turnover in the body slows down because of aging. With a reduction in developing new skin cells, the skin becomes lacking in moisture and elasticity, which makes it lose its radiance.
Enlarged pores. Collagen and elastin play a vital role in keeping the skin taut. As a result of aging, the body’s capacity to produce these two critical skin components gets affected. The skin’s scarcity of collagen and elastin then leads to larger and noticeable pores.
Fine lines and wrinkles. Thinning happens when the production of collagen slows down and the elastic fibers in the skin degrades. Without collagen and elastin to boost the skin’s volume, fine lines and wrinkles become apparent in different areas of the face, particularly the forehead, corners of the eyes and mouth, nose bridge, and neck.
Roughness. The lack of oil or sebum production in the body caused by aging makes the skin less bouncy and its surface feel rough and appear crepe-like.
Uneven skin tone. The skin appears uneven due to the combination of several factors like the existence of age spots and the changes in its texture as caused by aging and other contributing elements.
Profhilo and Skin Aging
While there is no stopping skin aging, there are ways to delay and lessen its symptoms from appearing. One aesthetic treatment that has gained popularity in restoring younger looking skin is Profhilo. Also known as 逆時針, this product transforms the skin using high levels of concentrated hyaluronic acid (HA).
Hyaluronic Acid (HA) is a substance that is naturally produced by the body. It works to attract and fuse water in the skin to keep it hydrated and elastic, which makes its surface appear even and lustrous.
With the high amounts of HA contained in Profhilo, the skin receives the following benefits:
- Enhanced skin hydration
- Increased collagen and elastin production
- Improved elasticity and firmness
- Better quality of skin
- Noticeable skin radiance
Skin Remodeling with Profhilo
To remodel the skin, Profhilo is injected strategically in the cheeks at five particular points. This technique is specifically developed for the product to reach a wider area of the face without the need to overwhelm the patient with several injections, which can cause discomfort. In the hands of an experienced aesthetic provider, Profhilo is done quickly and requires less downtime.
Effective skin remodeling is made possible with Profhilo through the two types of non-cross-linked HA: L-HA and H-HA.
L-HA, or low molecular weight hyaluronic acid, works to keep the skin’s moisture and promote hydration, while H-HA, or high molecular weight hyaluronic acid, functions by improving the skin’s structure and density as it strengthens the skin’s dermis and trigger the production of collagen.
Using these active ingredients, Profhilo begins its magic by making improvements on the way the body regenerates cells. The concentrated HA in Profhilo does the following:
- Activates keratinocytes, which helps in skin renewal
- Improves the skin’s elasticity and ability to heal
- Mobilises stem cells in the adipose tissue, which assists in the strengthening of the skin cells
- Prompts fibroblasts in the skin to produce collagen and elastin
Profhilo and Treatable Areas
Profhilo can be used to rejuvenate the skin in various areas of the body, such as:
- Abdomen and chest
- Arms and hands
- Cheeks, chin, and lower face
- Decolletage and neck
- Knees
Depending on the treatment area and severity of its condition, the number of Profhilo sessions may vary per individual. Ideally, this anti-skin aging treatment should be done each month within two to three months of its initial application. To maintain long-term results, a repeat injection of Profhilo is recommended in an interval of six to nine months.
Profhilo and Other Aesthetic Procedures
Enhancing the results of Profhilo can be achieved by combining it with other anti-aging treatments like Botox and dermal fillers.
Profhilo Cost in Singapore
