Profhilo: Everything you need to know

by

Designed specifically for patients whose skin lacks volume and elasticity, Profhilo is an injectable skin remodelling treatment with one of the highest concentrations of hyaluronic acid (HA) on the market.

The steady release of HA by Profhilo encourages the development of collagen and elastin, which improves skin tone, moisture, and the appearance of fine lines rather than only plumping and filling wrinkles. Better skin quality is the end result, and it lasts for up to 6 months.

When asked why Profhilo is so popular, Head of Commercial at Dr Adams Laboratories said; “With non-surgical treatment growing more popular, people are looking for ways to get the best results without breaking the bank and Profhilo has fast become the leading treatment for this”.

What is Profhilo?

Using the proprietary NAHYCO technology, Profhilo is a cutting-edge hyaluronic acid moisturising therapy that is applied beneath the skin. As a consequence, a special hyaluronic acid injectable gel is produced, and the dermal cells are stimulated for an extended period of time. By stimulating skin cell receptors when injected into the skin, Profhilo helps to enhance and restore skin firmness while preventing skin laxity.

Profhilo, which has one of the highest hyaluronic acid concentrations on the market, remodels ageing and sagging tissue in addition to boosting and hydrating the skin. The face and neck are the most often treated locations, although skin laxity may also be efficiently treated on the décolletage, hands, arms, knees, and belly. Patients of all ages can benefit from the treatment’s advantages for their skin, which is appropriate for both men and women.

How does Profhilo work?

The region being treated is properly injected with ultra-pure hyaluronic acid. Profhilo promotes collagen and elastin, in contrast to wrinkle-reducing and dermal filler treatments, drawing water to the deeper layers of the skin.

The activity on cutaneous cells will persist longer as a stabilised product than it will as a non-stabilized gel. By slowly releasing hyaluronic acid at this period, four distinct forms of collagen and elastin are stimulated.

Why invest?

“Profhilo is the most in-demand injectable on the market, simply offering it will boost your numbers and just wait until your patients see the results!” Marysia Leigh, Head of Commerical, Dr Adams Laboratories.

The most talked-about skin-renewing injectable, profhilo, has quickly risen to the top of the list of non-surgical cosmetic treatments for skin laxity and other ageing indications. While there are many reasons to invest in Profhilo, we are here to list the top key benefits. 

  1. While Profhilo is an injectable substance, it is not a filler. As a “hyaluronic skin enhancer,” this procedure is unique in its field. Skin boosters draw and bind water in the skin, supporting the underlying tissue. As a result, skin appears more “lifted” and feels tighter.
  2. The only accessible injectable version of hyaluronic acid that is completely additive-free is Profhilo. Profhilo is a considerably safer alternative than many other injectable solutions because its manufacturing process doesn’t employ any chemical cross-linking agents.
  3. It can make skin look and feel tighter while also providing deep hydration and a radiant complexion. By promoting the creation of our own collagen and elastin, the injected hyaluronic acid supports the skin’s layers from within – a perfect combination!
  4. Profhilo can be applied to more than simply the face to treat other locations. This adaptable procedure is rising in popularity for the neck, décolleté, hands, arms, and even knees. It really is an excellent treatment to target more than one area at once and improves client satisfaction.
  5. Profhilo is simple to administer and requires little recovery time for the patient – the actual process only involves 5 injections on each side of the face. 
  6. Profhilo is advised as a course of two treatments, administered twice a year, to get the greatest outcomes. Additionally, it may be utilised in conjunction with other treatment modalities as a stand-alone therapy or as a component of a skin care regimen.

How is it performed?

Using extremely small needles in predetermined locations, Profhilo is injected just beneath the skin. It is comparatively painless, and prior to treatment, topical painkillers are rarely used. The actual treatment just takes a little over ten minutes.

To achieve the best results on the face, only five injection places are required, five on each side.

What type of results can be expected? 

To aid in the skin’s natural regeneration, Profhilo increases the production of collagen and elastin. It works on the underlying tissue to raise it and increase its elasticity while remodelling drooping and aged skin to restore firmness.

Usually, improvements can be seen as soon as the first appointment. The full effects, however, won’t be visible until four weeks following the second treatment. The individual’s skin will seem younger, healthier, and more nourished. Individuals are usually astounded by how big of a change Profhilo makes because it also improves skin tone, texture, and even pore size in addition to the firmness and fine wrinkles.

What is the difference between Profhilo and other injectables?

Even though Profhilo is an injectable, it is very different from fillers and botox since it uses entirely different components and has quite different effects.

In contrast to dermal fillers and wrinkle-relaxing botox, which add volume and contour to the face or relax facial muscles, Profhilo is a mild, regenerative procedure. In that regard, Profhilo is totally distinct from fillers and botox and ought to be viewed as a supplement rather than a replacement. It’s also a fantastic first choice (by itself) for younger skin that doesn’t (yet) require additional cosmetic injectables. Due to the outcomes’ assurance of natural appearance, it is very well-liked.

Who should get it done?

When the first indications of ageing occur, Profhilo works wonders at moisturising and promoting skin regeneration. The final product always appears incredibly natural. Additional treatments could be required to get the desired results for people with more severely damaged skin as they age. Generally speaking, we would not advise cosmetic injectables for those under the age of 25, as they typically have young, supple skin free of any ageing or damage indications. It’s also important to remember that women who are pregnant or nursing should not take Profhilo.

Looking for a Profhilo supplier for your clinic?

In today’s market, finding a Profhilo supplier for your clinic can be difficult, not only has there been an issue with finding a supplier that actually has stock, but quick delivery is also important to avoid disappointing your clients.

BAPRAS React To Independent Medical Devices Review

by

9922155_xxlBAPRAS has responded to recommendations from the independent review led by Professor Terence Stephenson into how medical devices are handled within the MHRA.

Graeme Perks, BAPRAS President and Consultant Plastic Surgeon, said the organisation was strongly supportive of the ‘useful and practical recommendations’ which they believe, if funded and implemented, will be an important step in improving patient safety and driving standards.

“A key recommendation put forward in the report is that patient records should be used to track what medical devices are given to patients,” Mr Perks explained.

“BAPRAS has continually pushed for the creation of a compulsory register for medical devices and as well as being part of the International Collaboration of Breast Registry Activities (ICOBRA), our Association is already working on a UK specific database pilot with Clinical Practice Research Datalink (CPRD), a research service jointly funded by the NHS National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) and the MHRA,” he said.

As cosmetic dermal fillers are classed as medical devices this is potentially a significant step in the right direction to improving this part of cosmetic practice also.

“The review recommends that the MHRA needs to communicate more effectively with the public and patients; simplifying communication and involving the public more in active reporting of adverse incidents and decision making,” Mr Perks explained.

“We believe this is critical and would mirror our own focus on patient outcome reporting and standard setting,” he said.

Another key recommendation points to the MHRA making information available on the safety and effectiveness of medical devices more widely, in order to support professionals in their choice of the appropriate device for their patient.

“BAPRAS would strongly welcome this move because, as the PIP implant crisis brought to light, practitioners are often influenced by marketing pressures in their decision making and we would like to see this process better informed through reliable information from the MHRA instead,” Mr Perks concluded.

The report also advises that the MHRA plays a leading role in Europe to ensure that regulations are fit for purpose and help meet the needs of patients. BAPRAS and the British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons (BAAPS) continue to be at the centre of the debate on regulation of Aesthetic Services and devices in Europe through the British Standards Institution (BSI).

A further recommendation puts forward that devices should be as important as medicines and that the MHRA should set up a new group of experts to advise it, called the Devices Expert Advisory Committee.

Rejuvenating The Face Without Surgery

Rejuvenating The Face Without Surgery 

 

APSARAS1Cosmetic treatments have come on in leaps and bounds over the past decade. So much so that today you don’t have to undergo cosmetic surgery to truly rejuvenate your face. With advanced non-surgical procedures, you can improve your appearance without a single scalpel in sight.

Not only is it possible to soften lines and wrinkles and refine your skin surface, but also to recreate youthful apple cheeks, gently plump your lips, straighten your nose, slim your face and give your jaw line a more defined look. However, with infinite possibilities these days, it becomes more difficult for the consumer to know which procedures are most suitable for their concern, and most importantly which are safest.

When thinking about non-surgical procedures I always evaluate my patient’s face methodically using the ‘rule of 3’ approach, as all of the three main problem areas of the ageing face need addressing to achieve a harmonious facial rejuvenation.

Lines & Wrinkles

The traditional key areas to look at when trying to turn back the clock are lines and wrinkles. Not all lines and wrinkles are created equally though. In order to decide on an appropriate treatment we have to divide this group into ‘dynamic’ and ‘static’ lines. Dynamic lines are those generated by repeated movement of underlying mimic muscles – think frown lines between the eyebrows, worry lines on the forehead and crow’s feet around the eyes.

To soften dynamic lines it is important to address their underlying cause (i.e. over-movement of mimic muscles). So the first step should be a botulinum toxin, like BOTOX. The newest trend goes towards using this on wider areas of the face, but in lower doses, in order to avoid the undesirable ‘frozen face’ appearance.

For static lines on the other hand, which are independent of mimic movement (e.g. nose-to-mouth lines), a filler is a good choice to gently plump up the grove from underneath. Hyaluronic acid fillers have now become the gold standard in this area.

Facial contour & volume

While ironing out wrinkles seemed to be the main aim of cosmetic treatments up until about five years ago, we have since realised that it’s actually another change that makes us look older, namely loss of facial volume and contour. While a young face displays a heart shape with plump cheeks and a firm, slim jaw line, this cheek volume is one of the first fat pads to go when we get older.

Flat cheeks and heavy jowls will then flip around the ‘inverted triangle of youth’ and leave our face appearing older – more than lines and wrinkles ever could. The good news is that we can correct this without surgery, by injecting a more viscous filler (‘volumiser’) into the cheeks. Hyaluronic acid volumisers offer the best benefit-risk ratio in my opinion.

Skin surface & texture

The last key area to look at is the skin surface and texture (‘skin quality’). Loss of elasticity, crepeyness, and irregular pigmentation are all important factors of ageing skin. Studies have even shown that irregular pigmentation not only makes you look older and less attractive to others, but people will also judge you as less healthy. Remedies to improve skin surface factors are, for example, cosmeceuticals, laser treatments, and medical needling.

Getting the best out of non-surgical treatments 

Why don’t you take an old photo of yourself and compare this to your face in a mirror, before seeing an aesthetic practitioner. Try accessing your face as objectively as possible using the ‘rule of 3’ approach. This will greatly help you in your subsequent consultation with the cosmetic doctor.

National Body Contouring Surgery Guide Launched

by

11040555_xxlA new body contouring commissioning guide, which aims to address variation across England in provision and quality of body contouring surgery for patients who have undergone massive weight loss, has been launched by the British Association of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgeons (BAPRAS) and the Royal College of Surgeons (RCS).

According to the societies, the guide was developed in response to research which shows inconsistency in the provision of body contouring surgery across the country. A study of 67 primary care trusts in England showed that 23 excluded any reference to body contouring procedures.

Even where guidance is in place, recommendations can vary dramatically. It has been revealed that 38% of patients who were approved in Scotland for body contouring surgery would not have fulfilled the criteria used in Leeds.

The studies reveal that patients who have already received NHS funding for a gastric band or other form of bariatric surgery then find it very difficult to get body contouring surgery after their weight loss. In addition, access to body contouring surgery is even harder for patients who have lost the weight naturally, through diet/exercise alone (10-30%). This is because they do not have the support of bariatric multi-disciplinary teams.

The new guide addresses variation in provision and quality of care – whilst also helping to make most appropriate use of resources – by providing clear criteria for commissioning body contouring surgery and best practice information for healthcare professionals. This includes a quality checklist for multidisciplinary teams to follow through every step of the procedure. The guide concludes with future recommendations, including the development of a compulsory register of operations and complications to enable the best outcomes for patients.

Research has shown that patients who undergo reconstructive body contouring plastic surgery following massive weight loss experience significant improvements in their physical function, emotional wellbeing, body image satisfaction, physical wellbeing and quality of life.

Conversely, patients who aren’t able to access body contouring surgery following massive weight loss can suffer from a range of physical and psychological problems. In a recent study 92% of bariatric surgeons reported that patients experience functional problems relating to excess skin.

Psychological problems include stress, depression and low-self esteem. Patients unable to access body contouring surgery are also significantly more likely to regain weight, which can lead to health problems, such as diabetes, heart disease and mobility issues, with a resulting burden to the NHS.

Mark Soldin, BAPRAS specialist in body contouring surgery and consultant plastic surgeon said:

“I’ve seen many patients whose lives have been transformed through receiving body contouring reconstructive plastic surgery. However, there are many other people who, simply due to their postcode, are denied this procedure and are left to deal with the huge physical and psychological problems caused by excess skin. 

“To qualify for this surgery patients need to demonstrate incredible weight loss and to show they have kept the weight off for a considerable period. However, the current ‘postcode lottery’ is unfair for the many patients up and down the country who have worked hard to change their lifestyles in order to meet the strict criteria. We are calling on commissioners and GPs to use this carefully researched, NICE accredited guidance to put an end to people living in limbo, and enable them to live healthy, happy lives.”

It is also hoped the guidance will be used to support GP referrals for patients requesting body contouring surgery by outlining clear criteria for patient assessment.

Paul O’ Flynn, Consultant ENT surgeon and Council Lead for commissioning at the Royal College of Surgeons, said:

“Research demonstrates significant improvements in patients’ emotional wellbeing and quality of life once they have undergone body contouring surgery, which is why it is critical that this guide is used by both commissioners and GPs to inform their referral decisions. 

“We hope that this guide will help to create equality in provision of body contouring surgery for patients across England and stop unfair postcode lotteries which are denying patients desperately in need of treatment.”

BTL and Zeltiq Lawsuit Update

by

10096026_xxlOn March 25, 2014 the United States Magistrate Judge in Northern California DENIED the Motion for Preliminary Injunction, filed by Zeltiq Aesthetics against BTL Industries.

In the action, Zeltiq alleged that BTL falsely advertised its Vanquish device, causing “irreparable harm” to Zeltiq in the US.

The trial for permanent injunction has now been set for June 15, 2015.

Dr Parmar Pleased To See Vanquish Featured On TV

by

iStock_000012153902XLargeIt seems the buzz around fat reduction using radiofrequency is growing as Vanquish – now available at Parmar Aesthetics – was featured on a high profile American TV show last month.

Several experts teamed up on ‘The Doctors’ to talk about Vanquish, the latest radio frequency body contouring device from BTL Aesthetics.

Dr Mitesh Parmar, owner of Parmar Aesthetics on Harley Street, said he believes the worldwide media coverage of Vanquish is all due to its unique technology.

“The results for the Vanquish speak for themselves,” Dr Parmar explained.

“I’m pleased to see the device is proving popular across the world, as in the UK we’ve seen some truly remarkable body contouring results. It’s the combination of quick and painless treatments and unrivalled levels of fat reduction for patients that make it unique.”

Because the Vanquish is responsive to the body, it doesn’t hurt or damage the skin. While it’s not an entirely suitable substitute for diet and exercise, it’s great for people who are working out and trying to change their body shape, but still have stubborn areas of fat – particularly around their tummy.

The stomach is known for being a tricky area to tone, with fat pockets hiding the muscles from the surface of the tummy, and the Vanquish can help reduce the fatty deposits and even tighten the skin. The result is a contoured, flatter stomach – but Dr Parmar is keen to point out this treatment also work on the thighs and flanks.

“While the Vanquish is unquestionably effect for giving patient’s a flatter, less fatty belly area, the device is also used to reduce the fat and contour the thighs. It’s also producing some extremely good results on love handles, a problem for many men and women, regardless of how much exercise they do.”

According to Dr Parmar, patients call the treatment ‘painless and pleasantly warm’ and see visible results after 4 sessions.

If you’d like more information on contouring the body using energy-assisted treatments like Vanquish, book a consultation at Parmar Aesthetics. Treatment times and sessions required depend on the area to be treated, and you will have your experience with Vanquish tailored specifically to your needs.

Dermatologists Welcome Recommendation By CTA To Remove MI Rrom Leave-On Products

by

APSARAS5Dermatologists have welcomed the recommendation by Cosmetics Europe, the European cosmetics trade association, to all its members that the preservative Methylisothiazolinone (MI or MIT) should be immediately removed from all leave-on skin products and personal care products, including cosmetic wet wipes, without waiting for action from regulators.

The statement follows discussions with European Society of Contact Dermatitis (ESCD) after fears of a contact allergy epidemic caused by MI were raised at the British Association of Dermatologists’ (BAD) annual conference.

Dr David Orton, President of the British Society of Cutaneous Allergy said:

“This is a promising step forward, and I welcome this demonstration of responsibility by Cosmetics Europe to pre-empt regulation on the use of MI. I hope that this recommendation will be adhered to by the association’s members and will go some way towards protecting UK and European consumers.”

Welcome to BTL Aesthetics

by

Image-1Established in 1993, BTL Aesthetics has become one of the major world manufacturers of medical devices. Representing the best in body contouring, fat reduction, skin tightening, and anti-wrinkle devices in the UK, BTL’s range of products are both innovative and highly-sought after.

Under their impressive portfolio of groundbreaking products, they’re proud to be showcasing two of the top radiofrequency devices in the UK: the Vanquish and Exilis Elite. 

The newest addition to the superior portfolio, Vanquish is an advanced non-invasive procedure that uses radiofrequency waves to kill fat cells without damaging skin or muscle, it has been labelled a ‘breakthrough’ by cosmetic experts as it’s the ONLY contactless device on the market. 

Vanquish is a truly revolutionary treatment in non-scalpel body sculpting, and offers the closest treatment to surgical results. Vanquish’s unique design allows treatment of vast areas at one time, making it the largest treatment area in the industry. 

It is the first no contact, hands free body contouring device, not only making it consistent but also ensuring little room for human error. This larger treatment area helps to speed up treatment time and make it easier to take care of multiple areas at once. 

Vanquish shows the fastest results in permanent fat reduction, and patients may see results as quickly as after their first treatment. Taking an average of 30 minutes per session, patients usually require up to 4 Vanquish treatments, each spaced a minimum of a week apart.


Vanquish has proved to be a safe and reliable method for fat reduction and this exciting new treatment has been featured in several publications such as Harper’s Bazaar and the Daily Mail. 

Lee Boulderstone, UK Manager of BTL Aesthetics said:

“Vanquish has been scientifically proven to destroy fat cells, leading to fat reduction in the targeted area. The device offers a remarkable difference when it comes to non-invasive fat reduction techniques.”

“It’s a really exciting time at BTL and we’re proud to add Vanquish to our already sterling portfolio of products,” he concludes.

BTL Aesthetics is also proud to distribute the Exilis Elite system which has been making waves in the UK in recent years. Widely regarded as one of the best high-performance aesthetic devices, the Exilis Elite has redefined radiofrequency (RF) technology to reduce wrinkles, treat laxity and reshape both the face and body – from head to toe – on patients of all ages.

Exilis Elite advances the non-invasive treatment of face and body wrinkles, collagen loss and stubborn flab with its delivery of precise heating and cooling, plus real-time monitoring of skin temperature. This constant detection and control of RF flow allows the physician to reach therapeutic temperatures in the shortest amount of time, providing a predictable and beneficial response while ensuring patient safety and comfort. 

While the RF energy is heating the dermis, patients remain relaxed and pain-free as the system’s digital thermometer provides constant feedback as to the skin’s temperature, thus ensuring a comfortable, even treatment. The energy causes the collagen support tissues in the skin to remodel and tighten, thereby stimulating and strengthening the collagen network which improves skin laxity and texture.

The Exilis Elite is the only RF system able to transmit RF and Ultrasound at the same time, and has been awarded the title ‘Best Skin Tightening Device’ at The Aesthetic Show as well as ‘Best Body Shaping Device’ at The Woman’s Choice Awards. 

With such a glowing reputation you can see why the Elite has become top of the class. Whether choosing to eliminate the signs of ageing, or recontouring the body, with no downtime and maximum comfort, patient’s choosing Exilis Elite can be sure their aesthetic goals can be met painlessly and precisely.

Treatment In Focus: RevLite laser from Cynosure

by

10177840_xxlCynosure’s new FDA-cleared RevLite laser is the latest market-leader for skin lightening and treating difficult skin conditions including acne and acne scarring, fine lines and wrinkles, hyperpigmentation and melasma. RevLite offers faster treatment times and 60% more power than its laser predecessors, with minimal downtime for all skin types.

Innovative PhotoAcoustic Technology Pulse results in less trauma to skin’s surface. Proprietary PhotoAcoustic action forces energy at such a high rate that molecules in the skin vibrate and shatter. This PhotoAcoustic action is worlds apart from the more traditional photothermal effect that ordinary laser systems use; resulting in minimal damage to the skin’s epidermal layer.

How does RevLite work?

The revolutionary Q-switched technology uses a pulsed beam of light and optimum power to shatter dark skin particles, which are gradually removed by the body’s natural processes. The machine’s flattop beam distributes the energy evenly over the problematic skin area or dark pigmentation encouraging it to fade and disappear over time. The energy pulsed (one billionth of a second) through the skin is faster than the relaxation time of the healthy tissue, thus minimising redness and recovery time. In fact, the pulse is so fast it provides safe and effective results even if the pigmentation has existed for decades, leaving the skin healthy and rejuvenated.

Award-winning, proven technology treats even stubborn tattoos with virtually no risk of scarring or changes to skin pigment. This versatile laser can also be used to treat birthmarks, sun damage, freckling and brown spots.

Anti-ageing Maintenance with RevLite

RevLite is the safest, fastest and most effective method for skin rejuvenation, either as a one-off treatment or as part of an on-going Anti-ageing Maintenance regime. The machine’s PhotoAcoustic shockwaves reorder the skin’s collagen into a group of collagen fibres, tightening skin and encouraging it to repair and rejuvenate itself, with no downtime.

A recent clinical study of patients treated with RevLite over 6 bi-weekly sessions, demonstrated impressive results in improving the depth and number of wrinkles, appearance of pores, number of whiteheads and skin laxity.

Cynosure’s RevLite is the latest champion in skin rejuvenation and is available at the Angel Laser Clinic. Visit www.angellaserclinic.co.uk for more information.
