Episode 194 hosts Dr Ravi Jain & Dr Sophie Shotter, two leading aesthetic doctors from the UK.
Ravi is an extremely experienced injector & cosmetic surgeon based in Harpenden. With over 20 years of experience, Ravi consulted as a KOL for IBSA (the manufacturers of Profhilo) for several years. He was part of the early advisory board meetings and has a wealth of experience teaching Profhilo.
Sophie is a multi-award winning cosmetic doctor based in both Kent & Central London. She is a KOL for Allergan Aesthetics and is a global expert in using their new biostimulator product, HarmonyCa. Sophie has a particular interest in treating and optimising her patient skin and has treated thousands of patients with Profhilo since 2016.
In this episode we re-visit the new bio-remodelling treatment, Profhilo. (Listen to episode 179 for the basic science & background to Profhilo)
Having only been launched in Australia in August 2022, it's undeniably been incredibly successful so far. But as with all new products there is a learning curve for injectors. We examine the hype and ask two experienced injectors for their views on how to best to use it. We explore:
- Ravi's previous experience as a Profhilo KOL and how the early uses of Profhilo differed to the now on label technique
- The core challenge of explaining to patients what bio-remodelling actually is (and why this new filler isn't a 'filler')
- How to manage patient expectations with skin quality products
- What patients report happens to their skin after using Profhilo
- The difference skin boosters, bio-stimulators and bio-remodellers
- Whether there is an 'ideal' Profhilo patient or not
- What patients experience after 1-5 years of having Profhilo and whether they continue to return for treatments
- Suggested protocols for optimal results
- Tweaks to the on label BAP technique and how to better tailor treatments
- Whether cannula has a role when injecting Profhilo
- Whether difficult areas like the under eyes and peri-oral lines can be treated with Profhilo
