Injectable Moisturizers

Profhilo Skinbooster Munich

The production of the body's own hyaluronic acid decreases steadily from the age of 25. As a result, the skin loses its elasticity and often appears significantly thinner and flabbier. It can tend to form more wrinkles, for example around the cheeks and mouth. Injectable moisturizers are thin-flowing bioidentical hyaluronic acid formulations for injection into the middle and deep layers of the skin. A special feature here is the Profhilo® Structura biostimulator, which is injected deeper into the cheek fat and leads to regeneration there.

Mode of action of the Injectable Moisturizers

They have an immediate deep hydrating effect and make the skin appear plumper and smoother. In addition, the preparations also have a long-term stimulating effect on the extracellular matrix according to the principle of bio-remodeling. This means that even weeks and months after the treatment, the formation of the body's own hyaluronic acid, collagen and elastin fibers is stimulated and the skin quality is improved. In my practice in Munich, I offer treatments with Profhilo® and Skinboosters as well as the Profhilo® Structura biostimulator for fat tissue regeneration.

Profhilo®

Profhilo® is injected at five defined BAP points (Bio Aesthetic Points) on each side of the face and then floods the entire middle and lower third of the face with hyaluronic acid. The skin is intensively moisturized from the inside. Immediately after the treatment, the skin appears fresher and plumper. In contrast to the non-cross-linked hyaluronic acid used in mesotherapy, Profhilo® remains in the tissue 30 times longer to develop its regenerative effect.

Skinbooster

Skinboosters can be used to inject wrinkles into individual areas as well as the entire face. Here too, the aim is to hydrate and biostimulate the skin from within for smoother, firmer skin and a fresher appearance. I particularly like to use Skinbooster on pleated lines around the lips, cheek wrinkles or to soften "crow's feet" around the eyes. I often use the needle-free cannula technique for Skinbooster treatments in my practice in Munich. A skin booster can also be used to improve skin quality in the forehead area.

Profhilo® Structura: Lipolifting without surgery

In addition to Profhilo® and Skinboosters, I will be offering treatment with Profhilo® Structura in my practice in Munich from November 2024. This is a further development of Profhilo® that is based on the same proven Profhilo® hybrid technology. This means that hyaluronic acids with a high (H-HA) and low (L-HA) molecular weight are cross-linked and stabilized to form a hybrid complex using a patented thermal process. This new molecule creates a highly pure product with a higher concentration of hyaluronic acid than fillers, but without any additives, which means a long duration of action and high tolerability. Study results show an increase in tissue thickness based on fatty tissue. In contrast to classic hyaluronic acid fillers, "over-filling" is ruled out. It is therefore a genuine filler alternative.

What is the aim of the treatment? Biostimulation of the body's own fat cells to achieve natural regeneration (lipolifting). This is because the ageing process takes place in all anatomical layers of our face, including the subcutaneous fatty tissue. Here we essentially distinguish between two types of ageing: Sinkers and Saggers.

Two types of aging: Sinkers and Saggers

Aging types Sinker and Sagger before Profhilo Structura — We distinguish between two types of ageing of the subcutaneous fatty tissue: sinkers and saggers

The ageing process, which includes the loss of fat volume in the cheek area, occurs at different times and to different degrees in different people. However, the first visible signs in the mid-face area are often noticed from the mid-30s. There is a decrease in skin firmness in the middle and lateral cheeks and a flattening of the facial contours. These processes can occur in two patterns: Sinker and Sagger.

The ageing type Sinker often has thinner skin and tissue density. The bone structures on the temples and cheekbones are more visible. While the cheek volume is usually preserved, the area underneath appears hollow or sunken over time.

The Sagger ageing type usually has thicker and denser skin compared to the Sinker. Over time, the skin and connective tissue lose their supportive strength, which leads to increased sagging and sagging of the skin. The front cheek area appears flattened and the lower jawline becomes blurred.

To summarize:

- Sinkers: Hollow or sunken looking cheek area
- Saggers: Tissue slackening and lack of strength and stability

As is always the case in nature, mixed forms also occur alongside these two types of ageing. The Profhilo® Structura treatment protocols respect these differences and are individually adapted to the type of ageing.

Biostimulating effect of Profhilo® Structura

Profhilo® Structura acts as a biostimulator in the body's own fatty tissue. The result is a smoothing and tightening of the facial contours, which can improve the cheek area and the jaw-chin line. The treatment can counteract the breakdown of subcutaneous fatty tissue.

FAQ - Questions about Profhilo® Structura treatment with Dr. Eva Jablonka in Munich

Who is suitable for treatment with Profhilo® Structura?

The treatment is suitable for patients who want to counteract the breakdown of subcutaneous fatty tissue and slow down ageing processes, as well as patients who want a natural alternative to filler treatments and prefer regenerative procedures.

Is there any downtime?

As this is a treatment with few side effects, no downtime is required. After treatment with Profhilo® Structura, only a slight swelling is visible, especially on thinner skin. There may be a small hematoma at the puncture site on the side of the cheek. The treatment area may still be slightly sensitive for 24-48 hours.

When does the effect of Profhilo® Structura become visible?

Results start to become visible one week after treatment with Profhilo® Structura. The biostimulating effect requires 3-6 months of patience.

Does the treatment have to be repeated?

For optimal results, two treatments with Profhilo® Structura are recommended every four weeks. Further treatments may be recommended as required, e.g. if the breakdown of the subcutaneous fatty tissue is already more advanced or to maintain the result.

How do the treatments with Profhilo® and Profhilo® Structura differ?

Compared to Profhilo®, Profhilo® Structura contains a significantly higher concentration of highly pure thermally cross-linked and non-cross-linked hyaluronic acid with a stronger biostimulating effect on the body's own fat cells. In contrast to Profhilo®, Profhilo® Structura is injected deeper into the cheek fat using the cannula technique. The aim here is to regenerate the body's own fatty tissue, while Profhilo® focuses on improving skin quality and elasticity.

What is the difference between Profhilo® Structura and other biostimulators such as Sculptra®?

Unlike other biostimulants (e.g. Sculptra®), which stimulate the proliferation of collagen fibers in the subcutaneous tissue, Profhilo® Structura stimulates the formation of fatty tissue. This corresponds to the normal architecture of this layer, because physiologically it is fat that makes our skin appear plump and gives our faces contour. As a result, the results of treatment with Profhilo® Structura are natural and dynamic.

Can Profhilo® Structura also be used after a facelift or treatment with other biostimulants?

After a surgical facelift (also after a thread lift) and after treatment with other biostimulants such as Sculptra®, scar collagen may form in the subcutaneous tissue. The skin appears less mobile. Nevertheless, treatment with Profhilo® Structura is often possible at a later stage. This can be discussed during a consultation in my practice in Munich.

Further applications of Profhilo® and Skinboosters

Injectable moisturizers can also be used on the neck, décolleté and hands and can be perfectly combined with medical needling, for example. Both Profhilo® and Skinbooster can be combined with muscle relaxant and filler treatments as well as skin-image-improving measures. I will create an individual treatment plan during a consultation in my practice in Munich.

Further details about this treatment method can be explained in a personal conversation.
