Declining estrogen, particularly during menopause, can be associated with changes in skin structure, collagen levels, and skin elasticity. Profhilo may help improve certain aspects of skin quality, such as hydration and elasticity, in some patients. However, suitability and results vary from person to person, and a medical assessment is recommended.
How Is Estrogen Related to Skin Collagen?
Estrogen has several effects throughout the body, including on the skin and connective tissues.
As estrogen levels decline, particularly during the menopausal transition, changes may occur in skin thickness, elasticity, and collagen content.
Age, sun exposure, genetics, lifestyle, and other factors can also affect skin quality and collagen levels.
Why Does Skin Start Losing Firmness?
Collagen is one of the key proteins that provides the skin with structure and support.
As we age and experience hormonal changes, the skin’s ability to maintain this structure may
gradually change. This can contribute to:
• Reduced skin firmness.
• Dryness.
• Fine lines.
• Changes in skin texture.
• Reduced radiance.
• More visible skin laxity
What Is Profhilo?
Profhilo is an injectable treatment based on hyaluronic acid. It differs from traditional dermal fillers in terms of its intended purpose and application.
While traditional fillers are commonly used to add volume or enhance specific facial areas,
Profhilo focuses more on improving overall skin quality, including hydration and elasticity.
Clinical studies have reported improvements in certain measures of skin quality, although results vary between studies and individuals
Does Profhilo Change the Shape of the Face?
The primary goal of Profhilo is not to add volume or reshape facial features.
However, individual responses can vary depending on skin characteristics, treatment area,
injection technique, and other factors.
A medical assessment is therefore recommended before deciding whether the treatment is appropriate
When Should You Consult a Doctor?
If skin changes are sudden or severe, accompanied by other symptoms, or occurring alongside hormonal treatment or a medical condition, it is recommended to consult a qualified physician before undergoing any procedure.
