Glowfhilo

Your patient journey starts with a chat by phone – or email – to discuss your treatment objectives and the results you are looking to achieve.

We then arrange an in-depth consultation with Dr Paris in clinic, to assess your skin and decide the optimal treatment choices for you.

Virtual consultations are also possible, with the reassurance that we always then assess you in person before undertaking any treatment, to get a clear understanding of your unique skin and facial structure.

When creating your treatment plan, the goal is long-term, sustainable improvements for your skin and overall wellbeing, with continuous care throughout your time with us. The initial consultation helps us ascertain the best options for you, whether that's simply popping in for occasional medifacials or entrusting us with longer term facial rejuvenation.

You'll be able to ask any questions and, particularly if you are considering injectables for the first time, we'll make sure you are fully informed and comfortable with all the options. In short, you're in safe hands and we'll guide you through, led by how you're hoping to feel after treatment.

The range of aesthetic treatments can be overwhelming so we're here to advise you on the best path for you and there is never any pressure to book treatment.

Glowfhilo is ideal for if you are looking for a significant hydration boost, improved skin health and subtle, ongoing rejuvenation with mininal downtime.

It is typically used to treat:

• Dull or tired-looking skin

• Dehydrated or dry skin

• Fine lines & early wrinkles

• Loss of skin elasticity

• Congested or uneven skin texture

• Post-summer skin damage

From mid-to-late 20s, Glowfhilo is great for prevention - boosting hydration and providing early collagen support; from 30s to 40s, it's ideal for addressing early signs of ageing, dullness and loss of elasticity; and in your 50s, to help with mild skin laxity, dryness and restoring radiance.

Glowfhilo's specialised formulation ensures effective results while maintaining minimal downtime, making it attractive for patients with busy schedules or those who prefer more subtle interventions.

It is suitable for most skin types but not during pregnancy or breastfeeding, or if you have an active skin infection (e.g. cold sore or acne flare-up).

Glowfhilo is a dual-treatment protocol, combining gentle exfoliation with deep hydration to rejuvenate the skin from both the surface and within.

The treatment begins with the PCA NoPeel Peel, a mild chemical exfoliant designed to slough away dead skin cells, unclog pores and brighten the complexion—without the visible peeling associated with more intensive peels. This step smooths and preps the skin, making it more receptive to hydration and active ingredients which can then be used to further benefit skin health. It's ideal for restoring radiance and improving skin texture while being gentle enough for all skin types.

Following the peel, Profhilo is injected into key points of the mid to lower face where it triggers a reaction in fibroblast cells in the skin's dermis to produce new collagen and elastin, and continues to do so over 3 to 6 months. Unlike traditional dermal fillers, Profhilo contains high-concentration hyaluronic acid which spreads evenly beneath the skin from these injection sites, to provide intense hydration and stimulate collagen and elastin production. This helps to improve skin firmness, elasticity and overall tone and gives a noticeable glow.

Together, these two treatments work in synergy to combat dullness, dehydration and early signs of aging, resulting in a natural, long-lasting radiance with minimal downtime.

To reduce the risk of bruising, we advise you to avoid:

• alcohol for 24 hours beforehand

• aspirin, ibuprofen & Omega-3 supplements for 2 days before

After treatment, we advise you to:

• not apply makeup for 6 hours

• avoid sun exposure for 1 week

• avoid extreme temperatures (eg sauna, steam room, hot climates) for 1 week

We recommend that you have Glowfhilo at least 2 weeks before any important social / work events. And you'll have the second treatment two weeks after the first so we book your appointments accordingly.

Numbing cream will be applied to the treatment area beforehand to reduce any discomfort.

Downtime is usually minimal with some redness in the treated area, as well as small bumps at the injection sites for around 12 - 24 hours.

As with any injectable, there is a small chance that bruising and/or swelling may occur (normally within 48 hours from treatment). We usually use a cannula to minimise this risk.

Typically, you'll see optimal results at around 8 weeks after Glowfhilo treatment.

You will have 2 treatments, 4 to 6 weeks apart.
