#ProfhiloKorea #Hilowave

Hello, I am Dr. Kim Yeon-jin, Representative Director of UH CELL Gangnam.

Recently, during consultations, many patients have expressed concerns about losing skin elasticity and experiencing worsening “inner dryness” (dehydrated skin from within) when they look in the mirror. Especially during this change of seasons, with its fluctuating temperatures and dry winds, we are seeing more patients visiting us because their skin feels suddenly rough and thinner.

The dry spring air and increasingly strong UV rays are the main culprits that quickly strip moisture from our skin and damage the skin barrier. When the skin barrier weakens, the production of collagen and elastin in the dermal layer also slows down. As a result, elasticity naturally drops, and shallow fine lines become more noticeable. The reason your skin still feels dry even after applying plenty of moisturizing cream is precisely because this “inner pillar” of the skin has collapsed.

At times like this, the treatment I often recommend is a skin booster that healthily remodels the environment inside the skin without looking artificial. Today, I will explain in an easy-to-understand way about Profhilo, which is the most inquired-about treatment among clients in their 30s and 40s who are struggling with skin dryness and fine lines, and Hilowave, which has recently been gaining a lot of attention.

Overall Elasticity and Firm Skin Remodeling: Profhilo

Profhilo is a pure, high-concentration hyaluronic acid (HA) that combines high-molecular and low-molecular weight HA using only heat, without any chemical additives. When properly injected into the face, these HA components spread evenly like a mesh network along the dermal and fat layers.

The HA in Profhilo not only supplies moisture to all layers of the skin but also stimulates the self-production of collagen and elastin that have decreased due to aging. Unlike traditional HA fillers that plump up specific areas, it tightly rebuilds the thinned skin tissue of the entire face and provides a natural lifting effect, making it a very famous treatment in many countries.

The Perfect Alternative to Profhilo, ‘Hilowave’ with Longer-Lasting Effects

There are many people who want to receive Profhilo treatments in Korea as well. However, unfortunately, you cannot officially receive Profhilo treatments in Korea at this time.

But there is absolutely no need to be disappointed. For those who want the same natural remodeling effects as Profhilo in Korea, we highly recommend ‘Hilowave’, a Korean brand equipped with excellent technology that serves as an outstanding alternative.

Hilowave is characterized by its dual combination of high and low-molecular-weight HA, with the biggest feature and advantage being the addition of a small amount of micro cross-linked HA.

Profhilo, consisting only of pure HA, tends to be absorbed and broken down by the body relatively quickly. In contrast, thanks to this micro cross-linking technology, Hilowave breaks down slowly in the body, giving it the distinct advantage of lasting much longer than Profhilo. With just one treatment, you can maintain a hydrated and firm skin condition for an extended period.

At UH CELL, we have the know-how to create a synergistic effect by combining Hilowave with Lilied M, a pure HA skin booster, to ensure it is distributed more safely and evenly across the entire face.

The combination of Hilowave and Lilied M not only quickly improves severe inner dryness but also adds a natural, subtle volume to slightly hollowed areas like the mid-face (front cheeks) or under the eyes, making it highly suitable for the skin concerns of those in their 30s and 40s.

In summary, although it is difficult to find Profhilo in Korea, considering its longer-lasting duration and natural volume enhancement, the Korean brand Hilowave can be a fantastic choice.

Going beyond simply adding moisture, the most important thing is to strengthen the collapsed skin barrier and restore your skin’s natural health. Since everyone’s skin thickness, degree of sagging, and causes of dryness are all different, the best approach is to visit us so we can personally examine your skin and provide a detailed consultation to find the right direction for you.

We will always provide treatments with our utmost sincerity so that you can regain healthy skin through your medical beauty journey to Korea.
