Designer, TV star Seema Sajdeh took this skin shot to improve skin, not change face

Seema Sajdeh, a fashion designer and TV personality, gained attention by discussing her experiences with Botox, fillers, and a lesser-known injectable called Profhilo. Unlike traditional fillers that add volume and reshape the face, Profhilo targets skin quality improvement. Dermatologist Dr Nirupama Parwanda explains that Profhilo is a hyaluronic-acid solution injected below the skin's surface.

Hyaluronic acid, a natural substance in the skin, retains moisture and enhances skin hydration, elasticity, and firmness. The treatment, containing both high- and low-molecular-weight hyaluronic acid, disperses rather than filling wrinkles, stimulating the skin's natural processes. Benefits include improved hydration, elasticity, and skin density, though more research is needed to confirm long-term efficacy.

Ideal candidates may notice skin dehydration, reduced elasticity, or mild fine lines, but the treatment isn't suitable for significant facial augmentation. While age isn't a strict criterion, the treatment is best for those seeking skin quality enhancement. Temporary side effects like redness, swelling, and bruising are possible but generally mild and transient.

Ongoing treatments aren't mandatory, as the effects are temporary and benefits should be evaluated per individual.
