Nucleofill vs Profhilo – Choosing The Right Treatment For Your Skin
Nucleofill vs Profhilo – Choosing The Right Treatment For Your Skin
When it comes to injectables that improve the condition of your skin, there are two popular options: Profhilo and Nucleofill. Unlike traditional dermal fillers, these treatments focus on enhancing skin hydration, firmness, and luminosity through micro-injections of a soft gel-like substance. Profhilo is often referred to as an injectable moisturizer, as it contains high quantities of pure hyaluronic acid (HA) to bio-remodel collagen and elastin while hydrating the skin. On the other hand, Nucleofill is composed of poly-nucleotides, fragments of molecules that make up DNA, which work to boost skin quality, hydration, and tissue thickness.
While Profhilo gained significant attention in the beauty industry last year, Nucleofill is now creating a buzz in clinics across the country due to its impressive qualities. In this article, we will outline the key differences between these two treatments to help you make an informed decision.
WHAT IS PROFHILO?
Profhilo is primarily composed of hyaluronic acid (HA), a powerful moisturizing factor naturally present in the skin, muscles, and joints. Its unique ability to attract and retain water molecules, up to 1000 times its weight, makes it highly effective in hydrating the skin from within, resulting in a fresh and radiant appearance.
As we age, our natural production and breakdown of hyaluronic acid slows down. Profhilo is injected at five points on each side of the face, spreading evenly throughout the skin layers while drawing water along the way. This approach plumps the skin, reduces fine lines and wrinkles, and enhances radiance and dewiness. The treatment consists of two sessions spaced four to six weeks apart, and the results typically last for approximately six months.
WHAT IS NUCLEOFILL?
At NassifMD Medical Spa, we prioritize skin improvement and natural-looking results. Nucleofill is a relatively new bio-stimulator designed for skin rejuvenation and protection. This anti-aging treatment aims to help cells retain water, improve skin elasticity and tightness, and prevent the formation of wrinkles. Unlike Profhilo, Nucleofill offers various products specifically tailored to address different concerns. In addition to skin regeneration, there are options for the neck, eyes, and even the scalp to stimulate hair growth.
KEY DIFFERENCES BETWEEN PROFHILO AND NUCLEOFILL
The notable distinction between Nucleofill and more familiar injectables like Profhilo lies in the composition. Nucleofill is a bio-stimulant gel, rather than hyaluronic acid, but it still effectively stimulates fibroblasts—the main cells responsible for collagen production. Nucleofill directly activates specific receptors on fibroblast cells, resulting in the production of healthy collagen akin to our youth. While both treatments are highly effective, they are better suited for different candidates. Nucleofill is particularly beneficial for the mature age group, as it regenerates sagging and dehydrated skin while thickening the tissues. Moreover, Nucleofill’s effects tend to last longer than Profhilo, with results lasting up to a year after two treatments.
CHOOSING THE RIGHT TREATMENT FOR YOU
Ultimately, the decision between Profhilo and Nucleofill depends on your specific concerns and treatment goals. Profhilo excels in providing a radiant glow to the skin by deeply hydrating it and improving light reflection properties. Nucleofill, on the other hand, is suitable for individuals worried about fine lines, wrinkles, and loss of elasticity on the face or neck. It offers a wide range of applications, including addressing under-eye crepiness, wrinkles, and hollow areas. If desired, these treatments can be combined or used individually based on your needs.
To determine the most suitable option for you, it is recommended to consult with a qualified practitioner who can assess your concerns and provide personalized recommendations.
