How to Combine Profhilo and Microneedling for the Best Results & Improve Skin Hydration
Let’s think of combining treatments as a skincare ‘symphony’; each treatment is a different instrument, and good timing ensures that the result is harmonious, not chaotic. Your aesthetic clinic should be able to expertly time your Profhilo and microneedling together for you, so don’t worry too much about this, nevertheless it’s good have some understanding of this.
Following manufacturer guidance and our own clinical experience, the ideal approach for this combo is allowing the skin enough time to respond to each treatment without overwhelming it nor causing possible issues for the other treatment. Here’s an example of a typical treatment plan that we may recommend. Please be aware this is not specific for you, lovely reader; what you wish to improve, and your skins story, are unique to you and your practitioner will tailor a plan to match your needs during a consultation:
Week 1: Microneedling
Week 2 - 4: First Profhilo session
Week 4-6: Second microneedling
Week 6-8: Second Profhilo session
Week 8-10 onwards: Resume microneedling, if required
As you can see, this is an example of a staggered approach, supporting skin regeneration without overloading it and offering flexibility dependent on the clients' diary and their skin’s usual recovery time.
No matter if it’s used in combination or as a stand-alone skin treatment, Profhilo is recommended to be taken in two sessions, spaced four weeks apart; this is the manufacturer’s guidelines and stops the skin getting overwhelmed. Although Profhilo is two different sessions, these make up a single treatment, so not having the second session would mean that you’ve essentially had half a Profhilo treatment. This is just for your information, not something to be overly concerned about.
By allowing a structured time between the treatments, your skin can respond effectively to the deeply hydrating, bio-remodelling effects of Profhilo and the regenerative stimulation from microneedling. When thoughtfully paired, the results can not only look fresh and beautiful, but they also gradually build and have a positive longer-term impact.
What Results Can you Expect from Profhilo and Microneedling?
Of course, instant gratification has its appeal, however some skincare goals can’t be achieved overnight; sometimes the transformation happens gradually. However, combining Profhilo and microneedling can somewhat scratch that itch for instant gratification as well as offering results that naturally develop. Together Profhilo and microneedling work together to refresh the surface of the skin, strengthen it, and regenerate from the outside-in and inside-out, resulting in skin that whispers ‘wow, she looks so well’ rather than bringing up the question: ‘I wonder what treatment she’s had’.
Let’s break down what each treatment can give you. Starting with Profhilo:
- Profhilo treatments can deliver visible improvement within just a few days after the first session; plumper, hydrated skin. However, the true benefits of Profhilo lie beyond a ‘quick fix’.
- The magic lies in the weeks that follow your full Profhilo treatment as the product continues to work beneath the surface of your skin.
- Results from Profhilo can improve even after the treatment period, as your skin continues to benefit from the boost in collagen and elastin; the proteins that give elasticity, structure, and that youthful bounce.
Microneedling is similar in that some clients can see an early improvement in their skin, often an initial glow, before the deeper results begin to show. What you’re aiming to improve will influence how many sessions of microneedling may be recommended; deeper concerns such as wrinkles or acne scarring are likely to require more sessions than someone looking to boost their glow and help to maintain their rejuvenated skin:
- Microneedling can help with a number of concerns, from softening lines and wrinkles, to improving texture and acne scarring.
- Much like Profhilo, the magic of microneedling happens in the weeks and months after the treatment as collagen and elastin production starts to improve the appearance of your skin.
Together, microneedling and Profhilo work beautifully together to nourish, hydrate, regenerate and support healthy new skin. The outcome? Radiant skin that feels and looks firmer, smoother, softer, more hydrated, with a more even tone and texture; without changes that make you look different. It’s just you, with smoother, healthier, more rejuvenated skin.
Is This Combination Right For You?
You may be wondering, is combining Profhilo and microneedling the right path for your skin elasticity? If you’re looking for a way to stimulate collagen production, improve skin firmness, texture, hydration, and overall skin health in a subtle and natural-looking way, then this treatment combination may well be worth your consideration.
These aesthetic treatments are not about chasing youth or following trends. They’re data-supported treatments that encourage natural regeneration of your skin, supporting its health, and helping you to look and feel like the best version of yourself.
That said, it’s important to understand that there’s no such thing as one-size-fits-all treatment, or combination of treatments, at our CQC-regulated clinic. Your skin has its own unique story; from genetics to hormone shifts, to stress and skin care routine. Additionally, your preferences will help define your ideal treatment plan; maybe you’re focusing on long-term health, perhaps you’re looking to improve acne scars, or maybe you’re looking to maintain your beautiful skin laxity.
Whatever the case, your specific treatment plan should be built around you.
Combining Profhilo and microneedling can offer a powerful approach that respects your natural beauty; one that strengthens with hyaluronic acid, regenerates, and revitalises your skin without looking like you’ve had anything ‘done’. With the right guidance, timing, and plan, this treatment pairing can help you feel confident in your healthy skin.
