The secret to surviving the hot climate is staying hydrated – bare the heat with Belo’s newest beauty booster

It’s no surprise that hyaluronic acid stands out as a revered ingredient when it comes to choosing skin care products. This all-star skincare component serves looks through its moisturising and anti-aging properties, helping with hydration and healing wounds. Naturally produced by the human body, this is also found in your skin, connective tissue and eyes, where it helps keep tissues lubricated and moist.

The warmer weather can easily dry out your skin due to excessive heat and sun exposure, so how do you give your face the best TLC?

Meet Belo’s newest beauty booster, Profhilo®

To increase firmness, elasticity and overall improved quality of skin, using the BAP (bio aesthetic points) technique, Profhilo® is a beauty booster composed of high and low weight hyaluronic acid, targeting to moisturize and lift the face, as well as tightening sagging skin and slowing down aging. Aside from instant hydration, Profhilo® increases the production of elastin and collagen.

Through the slow release of hyaluronic acid, five areas on each side of the face are injected which significantly improves tissues, resulting in tightening and lifting.

Profhilo® vs fillers

While both Profhilo® and fillers use hyaluronic acid for lifting and rejuvenating skin, their type of hyaluronic acid actually differs – with dermal fillers using a thicker formula with other ingredients vs. Profhilo®’s runny & concentrate-like injectable, using 100% hyaluronic acid.  

In case you’re wondering about botox, well, you can actually add it WITH Profhilo®! Botox helps relax the nerves that cause muscles to contract (those that cause wrinkles, for example), and can help smoothen and lessen their appearance, targeting areas on the upper area of your face.

While dermal fillers target cheeks, wrinkles and lips, Profhilo® does its work of plumping, refreshing and tightening areas such as the face, neck, hands and/or knees, depending on the skin condition. Think of it this way: Dermal fillers enhance specific areas, while Profhilo® has a more “all around” effect for the skin, covering larger areas. 

Worry not – our Belo doctors can recommend what’s best for your skin!

Is Profhilo® for me?

“Profhilo® not only boosts and hydrates skin, but also repairs aging and sagging tissue,” says Dr. Vicki Belo, founder of the Belo Medical Group. “It prompts the skin cell receptors to act against skin laxity and restore firmness.”

If you want to prevent early signs of skin aging, or if you have dehydrated, sun-damaged skin, wrinkles and fine lines, Profhilo® may be for you. The treatment may also achieve the summer glow you deserve and will definitely give you that deep hydration and increased firmness, with effects lasting up to six months.

“This is one of the best treatments done under ten minutes that provides the maximum results,” according to IBSA Institut Biochimique expert and aesthetician Dr. Domenico Romano, who recently visited the Philippines. “It can also be done without anesthesia.”
