Frequently asked questions

Profhilo is a type of injectable treatment that is designed to hydrate and rejuvenate the skin from the inside out. It is made up of a high concentration of hyaluronic acid, which is a substance that naturally occurs in the body and helps to hydrate and plump the skin.

The benefits of Profhilo include:

Improved skin texture and tone

Increased hydration and plumpness

Reduced fine lines and wrinkles

Restored volume and elasticity to the skin

Natural-looking results without the need for surgery or extensive downtime

Profhilo is administered through a series of injections into the skin using a very fine needle. The procedure is quick and is generally not very painful, although some patients may experience mild discomfort or bruising at the injection sites.

During the Profhilo procedure, the practitioner will first cleanse the treatment area and may apply a topical numbing cream to minimize any discomfort. They will then inject the Profhilo solution into several points on the face, neck, or hands. The entire procedure typically takes around 30 minutes.

Most patients are able to resume their normal activities immediately after the procedure, although some may experience mild swelling or bruising for a few days. The full effects of the treatment will typically become visible within 2-4 weeks, and the results can last for up to 6 months.

After having Profhilo, you may experience some mild swelling or bruising around the injection sites, although this typically resolves within a few days. You should avoid touching or rubbing the treated area for at least 24 hours after the procedure, and avoid exposure to direct sunlight or extreme temperatures.

Most patients will initially require 2 treatments of Profhilo spaced 4 weeks apart to achieve optimal results, and then maintain it with a treatment once every 6 months. However, the exact number of treatments needed will depend on the individual and their specific concerns.

After having Profhilo, it is important to avoid touching or rubbing the treated area for at least 24 hours and avoid exposure to direct sunlight or extreme temperatures. You should also avoid strenuous exercise or activities that may cause sweating for at least 24 hours after the procedure. Your practitioner may also recommend the use of a gentle skincare routine to help maintain the results of the treatment.
