What is Profhilo? Is it the same as Fillers? What is NCTF?
We often hear these 3 terms and use them interchangeably, but do we actually know their differences? Spoiler: these treatments offer distinct benefits for your skin and vary in primary goals, outcomes and invasiveness. This guide will help you understand the key differences between these popular aesthetic treatments and help you understand which one might be right for you.
Profhilo is a skin booster made up of non-crosslinked hyaluronic acid (HA) used as a bio-remodelling treatment consisting of 10 small injections to the face, neck, décolleté and hands.
Goal: mainly focuses on skin hydration, rejuvenation and a slow build of collagen and elastin over time
Outcome: increase in collagen production, long-lasting hydration and smoother texture
Invasiveness: minimally invasive and the procedure is done in less than 30 minutes with no downtime
NCTF stands fro New Cellular Treatment Formula, and it is a cocktail made up of hyaluronic acid, vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and antioxidants used to address concerns such as hydration, firmness, and overall skin health.
Goal: regain a youthful and radiant complexion by stimulating collagen production and prevent moisture loss
Outcome: improved skin texture, tone and and overall more youthful appearance
Invasiveness: non-invasive with minimal downtime
Fillers or dermal fillers are made with crosslink hyaluronic acid (HA) and are used to increase any lost volume to the face (chin, lips, under eye, cheeks).
Goal: volume restoration caused by ageing
Outcome: adds volume, reduces fine lines, and contours the face
Invasiveness: minimally invasive with immediate results and minimal downtime
