After the age of 30, the levels of collagen and elastin that our bodies produce begin to drop. This can leave the skin looking dull and less tight, with fine lines and wrinkles appearing. At CMG, we offer a range of Skin Booster treatments to boost the skin’s production of collagen and elastin to leave the skin looking plumper and rejuvenated.
PRP Therapy
Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy is a regenerative treatment that uses the body’s growth factors to promote tissue growth, healing and repair.
PRP works by using platelets from your blood. These are harvested via a sample from your arm which is then placed in a centrifuge machine. In skin rejuvenation, these platelets are then injected back into the dermal layer of the skin using microneedling devices, containing dozens to hundreds of microneedles in rows on a tiny patch.
Microneedling allows medicines (in this case, your platelets) to bypass the outer layer of the skin and access the lower dermal layers, with minimal pain and maximum effectiveness. The PRP delivers a rich source of platelets to promote a more youthful appearance by boosting the body’s production of elastin and collagen. This can leave the skin looking plumper and smoother and can significantly reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Three treatments are recommended 4-6 weeks apart for optimum results.
PRP can also be used to treat acne, acne scarring, rosacea, scarring and scar formation and in the treatment of pigmentation and skin blemishes including vitiligo and melasma.
Seventy Hyal
Seventy Hyal is a revolutionary new skin booster designed to plump and hydrate your skin from within.
Seventy Hyal is one of the most popular skin booster treatments available in the UK and is a fantastic alternative to dermal fillers.
It works like an injectable moisturiser, using a concentrated Hyaluronic (HA) gel that treats the skin by lifting from the inside, improving the texture of the skin, forming better skin tone, treating skin laxity, and reducing fine lines and wrinkles.
Clients can expect increased hydration and an instant, fabulous glow as well as widespread improved quality of the skin. In addition, Seventy Hyal also stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, giving long-lasting results that improve with time.
Suitable for your face, hands, and neck, Seventy Hyal has been developed with one of the highest molecular weights of Hyaluronic Acid to surcharge the skin with intense hydration to help give the immediate appearance of luminous skin.
At CMG, we use 4ml of Seventy Hyal on the face, delivering 60mg of HA. This is one of the highest doses currently available and is used to optimise your results.
We recommend a course of two treatments at an interval of one month for the best results.
Patients can expect minimal downtime following treatment, with a risk of slight bruising depending on the individual, which should subside in a few days.
Seventy Hyal can be used alongside dermal fillers and wrinkle relaxation treatments, but we would recommend a space of two weeks between dermal fillers to allow the filler to settle into place.
Seventy Hyal is not recommended for anyone with a sensitivity to HA. It is only available for adults, 18+ and is not recommended for anyone who is pregnant or breastfeeding, or who has open infections at the site of treatment.
Profhilo
Profhilo is a hyaluronic acid-based skin remodelling treatment to hydrate and tighten the skin, creating a more youthful appearance. When injected, Profhilo also helps to promote the production of collagen, smoothing out fine lines and wrinkles while treating skin laxity. Unlike dermal fillers, Profhilo does not add additional volume but instead improves the overall skin quality.
Profhilo works to boost the skin’s hydration and tightness by stimulating the body’s own production of collagen and elastin (a process referred to as neocollagenesis). In doing so, Profhilo can, therefore, be used to target skin laxity and smooth out fine lines and wrinkles. In addition, Profhilo works to improve skin tone and overall quality, giving you a glowing and refreshed appearance.
Profhilo Neck Treatment
Your neck demands special attention – its skin is exposed to the elements and will lose its natural collagen and elastin faster than covered areas of the body, causing fine lines and wrinkles. The laxity that develops over time can create jowls that hang, dullness in the skin and a ‘crepey’ texture around the neck. Many simply cover these aesthetic issues with high collars or scarves, but this need not be the case – Profhilo can offer an effective solution, restoring a sense of confidence in your neck’s appearance.
To remedy lax skin, dehydration and deep lying neck wrinkles, Profhilo is applied at specific points on the neck using the BAP application method – this ensures that the specialised hyaluronic acid formula settles evenly throughout the tissues of the neck, hydrating the skin and promoting neocollagenesis. The new collagen and elastin can help you achieve smoother, naturally glowing skin and complete a more youthful-looking aesthetic from the shoulders up.
Expected Results from Profhilo Neck Treatment
After your Profhilo treatment, you can expect to see the loose skin of your neck given hydration and radiance, and for fine lines and wrinkled skin to be reduced. The high concentrations of hyaluronic acid help to revitalise the skin, increasing water retention and strengthening the dermis through neocollagenesis and fresh elastin fibres.
Overall, you can expect a reduction in visible signs of ageing on the neck and a reversal of the degradation caused by UV rays and ageing.
How Long Will It Take to See Results?
Results are usually seen between 2-4 weeks after the second treatment has been administered.
How Long Do Profhilo Injections Last in the Neck?
You can expect your Profhilo results to last for up to 6-9 months. After this, you may wish to undergo a top up treatment to maintain the results.
Why Choose Profhilo for Your Neck
There are many important reasons to opt for Profhilo when ageing, dull skin on the neck has become a concern. It can:
- Improve overall skin quality – Hydrates and rejuvenates the skin to give a holistic, glowing appearance.
- Target specific areas – As Profhilo is injectable, it can target specific areas of the body such as the neck, face, hands, arms and décolletage..
- Improve skin texture on your neck – By improving your skin health and structure through increased hydration and stimulating collagen production, Profhilo can enhance the texture of the skin.
- Treats skin laxity – Profhilo provides mild skin tightening for patients with minor skin laxity, helping to improve the appearance of fine lines.
Good Candidates for Profhilo Neck Treatment
Many adults can benefit from Profhilo treatments thanks to its diverse range of benefits.
In particular, patients over the age of thirty experiencing initial mild signs of ageing, dehydration, or a general deterioration of the skin on the neck can often benefit the most from Profhilo neck treatments.
What to Expect During Your Treatment
For initial treatments of Profhilo, our Aesthetician will administer the Profhilo injectable via a very fine syringe in ten different zones around the neck. These areas are chosen specifically to maximise the enhancement of the skin, as well as to avoid damaging any important nerves or blood vessels Profhilo treatment process is non- invasive and is usually pain free aside from a small pinch (no different to an ordinary injection), but a numbing cream can be applied to the injection sites in advance to minimise pain, if preferred.
Profhilo for the Neck Recovery Expectations
There is no downtime necessary after Profhilo treatment, which means you can return to work or and other daily activities immediately. You may experience mild side-effects from the treatment, such as swelling and redness, but these should dissipate within a few days.
