Rejuvenation under the eyes with Profibro｜Explanation of effects and injection sites

*Number of cases｜From September 1, 2023 to March 31, 2024

Hello. I am a doctor at Smart Skin Clinic, a cosmetic dermatology clinic.

皆さんはこのようなお悩みや疑問をお持ちではないでしょうか？

目の下は、年齢による変化が現れやすい部位ですが、ケアが難しいと感じる方も多いかと思います。そんな目の下の若返りに注目されているのが、ヒアルロン酸製剤「プロファイロ」です。

In this article, we will explain in detail the characteristics and effects of Profibro and how it is injected under the eyes from a cosmetic dermatologist's professional standpoint. Please take a look at how Profibro approaches problems under the eyes.

What is PROFHILO?

PROFILO is an injectable formulation of two types of hyaluronic acid, high molecular weight and low molecular weight.

Because we use hyaluronic acid that has been non-cross-linked using our proprietary technology, it is easily absorbed by the body, and natural, long-term effects can be expected.

Conventional hyaluronic acid injections are injected locally, mainly to improve wrinkles and laugh lines.

Profibro, on the other hand, spreads throughout the dermis layer, promoting repair and regeneration of damaged tissue. It improves skin firmness, elasticity, and texture.

Profilo Effectiveness

Improvement of skin elasticity and firmness

Improvement of wrinkles and sagging skin

Improvement of skin quality

ヒアルロン酸には保水力があり、真皮層のコラーゲンやエラスチンの産生を促します。プロファイロに配合された2種類のヒアルロン酸が、表皮から真皮にかけて広くいきわたることで、内側から肌を押し上げ、肌質を改善させていきます。

また、プロファイロの効果の持続性は「NAHYCO™ technology」と呼ばれる技術によるものです。

This technology combines high and low molecular weight hyaluronic acid in a heat treatment to enhance stability and durability.

Rejuvenation under the eyes with Profilo

With aging, the loss of fat under the eyes causes sagging and the decrease in collagen in the dermis causes fine lines and wrinkles.

In addition, the skin under the eyes is thin and prone to dark circles.

PROFILO approaches collagen and elastin in the dermal layer to increase firmness and elasticity, leading to improvement of these problems.

Two types of hyaluronic acid penetrate the entire dermis under the eyes, providing firm hydration while drawing out the skin's natural strength.

Profibro injection site and effect on under eye

Profibro is injected using a unique technique called the BAP method (bio-esthetic point method).

There are 10 predetermined injection points on the face, which are injected evenly.

ここで、以下のような不安・疑問が生じるかと思います。

「プロファイロは目周り（目の下）にも使えるのかな？」

こちらの疑問に対する回答としては、「はい、問題なく使えます」This is the case.

厳密には、目の下への直接的な注入は行いませんが、頬の3ヶ所へ注入したプロファイロが目の下の真皮層にも広がっていきますので、目の下にも当然効果を発揮致します。

注入部位から2cm四方に広がるといわれているので、下まぶたの上から目尻にかけてのエリアにもヒアルロン酸が浸透し、効果を発揮するというわけです。

Profilo treatment methods and precautions

The Profilo procedure is performed in the following manner.

Counseling and diagnosis

Injection (0.2 cc per site, 2 cc total)

Aftercare guidance

No anesthesia is required because a fine needle is used for injection. The pain is limited to a slight tingling, but varies from person to person.

After the procedure, redness, swelling, and internal bleeding at the injection site may occur. It is unlikely to be concealed by makeup and will settle down within 1-2 days, but it is recommended to leave 2-3 days just to be safe.

Makeup can be applied immediately afterwards, but the injection site should be avoided.

What to expect when undergoing the Profilo procedure

Profibro is a treatment that is indicated for most people, but not for those who

Pregnant or nursing mothers

・糖尿病などの治療中の方

・ケロイド体質の方

Although the effects may vary from person to person, most people feel a change in about one month.

The duration is 6 months to 1 year, and it is easier to feel the effects of the treatment if you receive it continuously.
