Hyaluronic Acid - What it is and it's Benefits

August 15, 2022 3 min read

Skin ageing is associated with a loss of skin moisture. The key molecule involved in skin moisture is hyaluronan or hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid (HA) occurs naturally in our bodies and has great water binding properties. Despite the name Hyaluronic “acid” it is not actually an acid, it is a type of sugar called glycosaminoglycan. Within our bodies HA binds with water to create a jelly-like substance. This substance acts like a moisturising lubricant and creates a cushioning effect between the fibres in the skin, the collagen and the elastin, and in the tendons, muscles and lungs.

It should not come as a surprise that our ancestors ate a very different diet thousands of years ago than we do today. In particular, they ate a lot more fish than the average human does now. They ate so much fish, in fact, that early humans eventually developed a dependence on the omega-3 that is found
primarily in seafood—a dependence they passed on to us.

Treatments .

Profhilo is an injectable hyaluronic acid treatment for skin laxity on the face, neck, or hands, offering intense hydration and tighter, more luminous skin. Some call it the injectable skin glow!

This anti-ageing treatment contains higher concentrations of hyaluronic acid than dermal fillers, with 64mg of HA per injection. Unlike a dermal filler treatment, Profhilo does not give volume, it instead provides a slow release of hyaluronic acid below the skin surface to hydrate and rejuvenate.

This “super skin booster” not only hydrates your skin from the inside out, getting rid of any crepey-ness, it increases your collagen and elastin production like nothing else I know, actually remodelling your skin, making it look far firmer.

Profhilo has the following unique abilities:

It stimulates your body to produce 4 types of collagen (good collagen, not scar collagen)
It enhances stem cell reproduction meaning your skin rejuvenates
It restores both skin and fat layers to their natural state (it doesn’t enhance them, so do not worry, you won’t look puffed up!)
It can treat the face, neck, lip lines, arms, decolletage, hands and tummies.

Free radicals- what are they ?

June 13, 2022 2 min read

Free radicals are naturally-occurring, unstable and highly reactive molecules that latch onto and steal electrons, such as healthy cells, ultimately causing a breakdown in DNA of the skin. External factors trigger and increase their production. More often than not, the damaged cells are those responsible for the natural production of collagen, elastic and hyaluronic acid—all of which form skin’s structure and firmness—and the depletion of this can lead to signs of ageing like fine lines, sagging, dullness and even pigmentation. Just think of a cut apple that’s been left out in the air—that wrinkled discolouration is a result of oxidation caused by free radicals. And the same effects can happen to our skin.
