After Profhilo injections, avoid touching or applying makeup on the treated areas for at least six hours. Also, avoid strenuous physical activity, excessive sun exposure, saunas, or steam rooms for 48 hours. Mild redness, swelling, or bruising may occur at the injection sites but typically resolves within a few days. It is important to follow any specific aftercare instructions provided by the medical professional who performed the treatment.

Profhilo is injected into the deeper layers of the skin, specifically the subcutaneous or superficial musculoaponeurotic system (SMAS) layers. These layers provide support and structure to the skin, and injecting Profhilo at this depth helps stimulate collagen and elastin production, resulting in a lifting and tightening effect.

The amount of Profhilo injected can vary depending on the individual’s specific needs and the areas being treated. Typically, a treatment course consists of two sessions, with a four-week interval between them. During each session, five injection points are commonly used on each side of the face. The total amount injected may vary, but it is usually around 2 milliliters for the entire treatment course.

The cost of Profhilo injections can vary depending on several factors, including the geographic location, the expertise of the medical professional performing the treatment, the number of sessions required, and any additional treatments combined with Profhilo.

Profhilo is typically injected into specific areas of the face, including the cheeks, temples, nasolabial folds (smile lines), chin, and jawline. It can also be used on the neck and hands to improve skin quality in those areas. The injections are strategically placed to ensure even distribution of the product and to target areas of concern for optimal results.

Profhilo injections are not commonly performed in the forehead area. This treatment is primarily intended for areas with skin laxity and dehydration, and the forehead typically requires different treatment modalities for addressing concerns such as wrinkles or frown lines.

The safety of Profhilo injections during pregnancy has not been established, and it is generally recommended to avoid elective cosmetic procedures during pregnancy.

Profhilo injections are generally well-tolerated and relatively comfortable for most individuals. The needles used for the injections are typically very fine, minimizing discomfort during the procedure. Some individuals may experience mild stinging or a slight sensation during the injections, but any discomfort is usually temporary. Topical anesthetics or numbing creams may be applied prior to the treatment to further enhance comfort, if needed.

Profhilo has been extensively studied and is considered a safe treatment when administered by a qualified and experienced healthcare professional. As with any medical procedure, there can be potential risks and side effects, although they are generally mild and temporary. Common side effects may include redness, swelling, bruising, or tenderness at the injection sites, which typically resolve within a few days.
