What is Skin Quality?
Skin quality refers to the overall evaluation of facial skin. This includes factors such as skin tightness, suppleness, moisture level, smoothness and clearness.
The skin is the largest organ in our human body and it is constantly exposed to the environmental factors such as pollution, blue light from our phones and laptops, Ultraviolet rays from the sun, bacterial, oils, heat and other potentially harmful substances.
Besides damage caused by external factors, internal factors such as aging causes the skin to thin out, lose volume, moisture and elasticity resulting in dull and wrinkly skin. These changes are the most apparent in exposed parts of the body to the sun for example our face, our neck and back of our hands.
What Are Some Treatments That Can Help To Improve Skin Quality?
1. Profhilo
There are various treatments available in the market to improve our skin quality. One of the latest treatment is Profhilo. Newly launched in Singapore in end of 2019, Profhilo is neither a skin booster nor a dermal filler but a Hyaluronic acid (HA) for bio-remodeling.
Launched in Italy back on February 2015 by IBSA, Profhilo is CE-marked and available in over 56 countries with more than 500,000 treatments performed dated December 2018. More than one million treatments are performed dated December 2018.
Our body produces HA naturally and it is found in our skin, joints and other connective tissues. Its main role is to retain moisture and support collagen production. Due to aging, our skin will start to age, and hyaluronic acid production depletes over the years, contributing to lacklustre, dry and wrinkly complexion. A treatment like Profhilo targets to provide a holistic health to the skin without adding volume or changing the facial features, it is an injectable skincare.
What Is The Difference Between Profhilo And Other Hyaluronic Acid?
Profhilo contains one of the highest concentration of hyaluronic acid (64mg/ 2ml) available in the market. As HA increases, water is absorbed more readily and skin will be more hydrated.
Although Profhilo contains HA, it is not a “filler”. It cannot replace volume loss or augment various parts of the face such as the cheek, tear trough which started losing collagen.
Profhilo is the first BDDE-free stabilised injectable hyaluronic acid (HA) based product for improving skin elasticity, delivers deep skin hydration and treating skin laxity. Delivered through 5 injection points on each side of the face, the treatment has little to no pain and minimal downtime. Over the next 3 – 4 weeks, Profhilo kick starts the production of elastin and remodels the skin tissue, giving it a plumper and tighter look radiating a natural glow.
Profhilo is recommended for the cheeks, forehead, neck, inner arm laxity and wrinkles on the stomach post-pregnancy. The recommended number of session is thrice, at monthly intervals. Sessions may vary depending on individual. Profhilo can be used on its own or in conjunction with other fillers to replace volume loss, hydrate and tighten skin. It can also complement laser treatments or botulinum toxins to get an even better result.
