Skin booster treatments can improve your skin’s texture, enhance its firmness, and rejuvenate your overall appearance. If you want to make your wrinkles less noticeable and fight other common signs of aging, a skin booster treatment could be the right choice for you.
Two of the most effective options on the market are Profhilo® and Rejuran®. If these two product names are new to you, that’s because Profhilo and Rejuran lack the mainstream recognition that some other skin-rejuvenation treatments enjoy.
But while dermatologists and skincare experts may not be talking about these skin boosters as much as they should, I’ll delve into Profhilo and Rejuran in this article to help you understand why they might help you achieve a younger look.
What is Profhilo?
Profhilo is a unique injectable treatment formulated with a high concentration of hyaluronic acid — one of the highest concentrations available, in fact.
Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance found in the skin, joints, and other parts of the body. It helps your skin retain moisture and stay hydrated, which is vital for a more youthful appearance. Hyaluronic acid also promotes skin flexibility and elasticity, and lubricates joints to help them move smoothly.
Profhilo is injected into one or more areas of the body, depending on the patient’s aesthetic goals. However, it is commonly used to target wrinkles, lines, and sagging skin on the face.
What is Rejuran?
Rejuran is an innovative skin booster that contains polynucleotides (PN), which is derived from the DNA of wild salmon sperm. The PN is collected through cutting-edge DNA Optimising Technology (DOT), and it is safe to inject into the human body.
During a Rejuran treatment, the skin booster is injected into one or more sites to trigger the rejuvenation process. This will leave skin firmer, tighter, and healthier.
How Does Profhilo Work?
Profhilo can be injected into the following areas:
- Face
- Hands
- Neck
- Arms
- Decolletage
- Buttocks
- knees
The injection sites are always selected according to the patient’s unique needs, which will be discussed during a thorough pre-treatment consultation.
Profhilo is designed to hydrate the skin and remodel sagging tissue from the inside out. The substance biodegrades and releases hyaluronic acid throughout the treated areas gradually, unlike dermal fillers that remain at the injection site for months.
As a result of the dispersal process, Profhilo draws moisture to the target areas to boost skin hydration. It also encourages increased production of collagen and elastin, two of the most important naturally occurring proteins in skincare.
Collagen provides skin with its structure and firmness, while elastin contributes to skin’s elasticity. But the body produces less of both proteins as it ages, which is why skin becomes more saggy and less able to snap back to its normal state after being stretched.
By boosting collagen and elastin production, Profhilo injections tighten and lift skin. This will have a noticeable effect on how it looks and feels.
How Does Rejuran Work?
Rejuran may be injected into the following areas:
- Face
- Neck
- Hands
As with Profhilo and other treatments, the injection sites will be chosen based on each patient’s personal beauty needs and expectations.
Rejuran stimulates cells that release collagen (known as fibroblasts). As a result, Rejuran can promote skin regeneration, boost skin elasticity, and make wrinkles and fine lines less visible. Once the results have taken full effect, the treated areas will appear tighter and revitalized.
How Long Will the Results of Profhilo and Rejuran Last?
The results of a Profhilo or Rejuran treatment tend to last from 6 to 12 months on average. However, the duration can vary depending on how quickly the body breaks the substance down and responds to it generally. The amount of Profhilo used will also affect how long the results last.
During your consultation, I will be able to provide you with a more accurate insight into the amount of time you can expect your results to last. You can also ask me any questions you may have about the treatment, and I will be happy to address any of your concerns.
What Can You Expect After a Profhilo or Rejuran Treatment?
You should expect a little downtime after a Profhilo treatment. The potential side effects include:
- Mild swelling
- Redness
- Bruising
If any of these effects occur, they will usually fade quickly. For the best results, you should avoid the following after your treatment:
- Wearing makeup within a few hours of your injections
- Undergoing other cosmetic treatments (e.g. chemical peels) within 24 hours
- Performing vigorous exercise or anything else that will make you sweat (e.g. a sauna) within 24 hours
- Staying in direct sunlight before any swelling and redness fade
With Rejuran, similar side effects may occur:
- Redness
- Bruising
- Bumps
These effects should start to pass 24 or 48 hours after your treatment. For the best results, avoid the following while your skin recovers from the injections:
- Exercise, or anything that will boost circulation in the face, for at least 24 hours
- Heated environments, including steamy showers and saunas
- Rubbing or massaging the treated area
- Direct sunlight until any side effects have passed (apply sunscreen gently if going outside)
How Many Profhilo and Rejuran Treatments Will You Need?
The number of Profhilo and Rejuran treatments required to achieve the desired results can differ depending on the condition of the patient’s skin.
For Profhilo, two sessions will generally be enough for most people. These will be scheduled four weeks apart to give the skin time to adapt and the Profhilo to start taking effect. Further sessions may be scheduled every few months to maintain the results.
For Rejuran, patients often undergo two or three treatments spread four weeks apart. Maintenance sessions can be booked every four to six months if necessary.
Conclusion
Profhilo and Rejuran are powerful skin boosters capable of improving the look and texture of skin in multiple areas. If you feel frustrated by wrinkles, fine lines, and sagging skin, these treatments may help you achieve more youthful skin in a simple, non-invasive way.
