Profhilo is THE treatment I recommend to all my family and friends
Bio remodelling has been heralded the “Holy Grail” of skincare, bio-remodelling can knock off years of your appearance. Bio-remodelling is not a form of dermal fillers or bio-revitalisers. It is a completely new category under the “Skin booster” umbrella. One of the main advantages is longevity, up to 6 months after the second treatment. The product we use at Lavien Aesthetics is Profhilo. The results I’ve seen so far with Profhilo are absolutely amazing. I can safely say it is THE treatment I recommend to all my family and friends when it comes to fighting the signs of ageing.

Profhilo
Hyaluronic Acid is well known as an ingredient in dermal fillers such as Juvederm and skin boosters like Jalupro. But in Profhilo, its purpose is quite different.
Profhilo contains the highest concentration of Hyaluronic Acid of any injectable treatment. Profhilo is one of the most innovative and effective skin boosting injections on the market. It harnesses the abilities of Hyaluronic Acid to bond to water and to stimulate collagen production. It’s designed to improve the quality, tone, texture and elasticity of your skin.
Hyaluronic Acid occurs naturally in our skin. It holds the water passing by in the surrounding tissue, plumping the skin from beneath. It’s also essential for the building of collagen.
But after the age of 25, we lose around 1% of the Hyaluronic Acid in our skin every year. Our bodies have no way to reverse this trend. The result is loss of hydration, volume, texture and condition.
How does it work?
Once injected, the product immediately starts spreading due to the high concentration of HA and its cohesive nature.Because it is thermally bonded, where dermal fillers are chemically compounded, it doesn’t remain as a hard gel but instead spreads out, naturally gathering water molecules where they’re most needed. This creates a huge hydration boost.
The injections also replenish lost collagen, increasing skin’s elasticity, and improving appearance, texture and hydration. Profhilo continues to encourage fresh collagen to be produced in the skin for a number of months after treatment.
The specially formulated serum is injected into skin tissue, restoring levels of hyaluronic acid previously found within the skin. This replenishes the skin’s lost collagen, visibly restoring a youthful appearance.

Frequently Asked Questions
It is suitable for all skin types. Adults 40 to 50 years old are indicated for Profhilo, but as it is also really effective with younger and older clients. The minimum age for Profhilo treatment is 30.
In our experience, whilst anyone can have both Profhilo or SuneKos it is our opinion that generally speaking Profhilo is well suited for those whose signs of skin ageing are that of a 50-year-old or less. Sunekos is usually better suited for slightly more challenging, sun damage, crepy skin.
After two to three weeks patients reported having improvement in lines and tightness of their skin.
At the beginning you will receive two treatments with a one month interval, followed by a maintenance treatment after4 to 6 months depending on the level of ageing. Effects will last for up to six months.
No …. Profhilo is something new and indicated for skin bioremodeling / skin booster.
In our experience, whilst anyone can have both Profhilo, SuneKos or Jalupro, it is our opinion that generally speaking Profhilo is well suited for those whose signs of skin ageing are that of a forty-year-old or less. Sunekos is usually better suited for slightly more challenging, sun damage, crepy skin.
While Profhilo is one of the most popular skin boosting treatments available, other products are now available and proving to be just as effective. For example we believe Profhilo, Sunkos 1200 or Jalupro HMW is best for overall face treatment whereas Sunekos 200 or Jalupro Classic is best for under and around the eyes and other detailed areas due to the delicate nature of this area. Choice of skin booster will be discussed at full medical consult.
There are many similarities between Profhilo and Sunekos but, in our experience, Sunekos is generally better suited for skin with more advanced signs of ageing.
All three treatments are a new type of injectable treatment completely different from skin boosters, mesotherapy and dermal fillers; they trigger a process in the skin called bio-remodelling.
The Profhilo product contains high concentrations of hyaluronic acid (HA) which deeply hydrates the treated tissue to help with signs of skin ageing and sagging skin as it stimulates your natural collagen and elastin production. We use Profhilo to refresh the skin, firm and smooth skin and give skin its’ ‘glow’ back.
Profhilo is used to treat the neck or mid to lower face only; the Profhilo protocol that’s followed enables the treatment to be best effective and is only used to treat those specific areas.
Usually, a single Profhilo treatment is made up of two separate sessions spaced approximately thirty days apart. Some people require a third session if their signs of ageing a more developed; this would be discussed upon assessment. Profhilo treatment is generally repeated after 6 months to maintain the results if desired.
The SuneKos product contains HA as well as powerful amino acids. Amino acids are proteins which help to firm and strengthen the skin whilst the HA deeply hydrates the treated tissue. SuneKos stimulates fibroblast activity in the Extra Cellular Matrix (ECM) which results in new collagen and elastin being produced.
Our preference is to use Sunekos to refresh, firm and smooth the skin and give skin its’ ‘glow’ back in those who have more advanced signs of skin ageing.
SuneKos is able to treat signs of ageing on the forehead and around the eyes as well as the centre and peripherals of the face. SuneKos is able to treat concerns around the mouth, for example, lines above the top lip as well be used to volumise the tissue. SuneKos has 2 strengths of the product; SuneKos ‘200’ has a low molecular weight which can be used around the eyes and forehead and SuneKos ‘1200’ which has a medium molecular weight and is used in the centre of the face and peripherals of the face.
