Crepey skin is a common concern for many, especially in the neck, décolletage, and hands. These areas are often exposed to the elements and can show signs of ageing faster than other body parts. Profhilo is an innovative injectable treatment that effectively rejuvenates crepey skin and restores a youthful and radiant appearance. In this blog, we will explore crepey skin, how Profhilo works, and why it is an excellent solution for rejuvenating skin.
What is Crepey Skin?
Crepey skin refers to thin, wrinkled skin that resembles crepe paper. It differs from typical wrinkles and is often caused by ageing, sun damage, and loss of collagen and elastin.
Causes of Crepey Skin
Ageing: As we age, our skin produces less collagen and elastin, essential proteins that keep the skin firm and elastic.
Sun Damage: Ultraviolet (UV) rays from the sun break down collagen and elastin fibres, accelerating the ageing process.
Dehydration: Lack of moisture can make the skin appear more wrinkled and fragile.
Common Areas Affected
Neck: Prone to sagging and fine lines due to constant movement and sun exposure.
Décolletage: Often exposed to the sun, leading to sun damage and crepey texture.
Hands: Thin skin on the hands can quickly show signs of ageing, such as wrinkles and visible veins.
How Profhilo Works
Profhilo is a unique injectable treatment with a high hyaluronic acid concentration. Unlike traditional dermal fillers, which add volume, Profhilo spreads evenly beneath the skin, providing deep hydration and stimulating collagen and elastin production. See Profhilo before and after here.
Hydration: Hyaluronic acid attracts and retains moisture, intensely hydrating the skin.
Collagen and Elastin Production: Profhilo stimulates the natural production of collagen and elastin, improving skin firmness and elasticity.
Benefits
Increased Firmness: Profhilo helps to tighten and lift sagging skin.
Smoother Texture: Reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, giving the skin a smoother texture.
Enhanced Radiance: Improves overall skin quality, making it more radiant and youthful.
