Bio Remodelling
Collagen production in our skin slows as we age, with most adults losing up to 20% of their natural collagen by the time they’re 40.
Bio-remodellers address this by improving skin hydration, firmness and luminosity through micro-injections of very soft hyaluronic acid into the skin, acting as a natural moisturiser to stimulate collagen.
At VS Therapeutics, our bio rejuvenator of choice is Profhilo®. With one of the highest Hyaluronic Acid concentrations on the market, when injected just beneath the skin's surface, collagen and elastin production is boosted by attracting and retaining water in the deeper skin layers. This results in enhanced skin hydration, reduced fine lines and wrinkles, improved skin tone, laxity, and firmness, resulting in a tightening and lifting effect.
For optimal results, we recommend a course of at least two Profhilo® treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart. Many clients maintain their results with a top-up treatment every 6 months.
Results can begin to show after the first treatment, with full benefits typically visible 4 weeks after the second session. The treatment is quick, taking around 35 minutes, and results can last between 6 to 9 months. Profhilo® benefits women, men, and individuals of all ages!
