The treatment involves injecting small amounts of Profhilo into specific Bio Aesthetic Points (BAPs) on the face or body, which have been carefully chosen for their ability to maximize results while ensuring safety. Once injected, the product spreads beneath the skin over 24 to 48 hours, stimulating the natural production of collagen and elastin. Within a few weeks, the skin appears firmer, smoother, and more hydrated.

Profhilo is typically administered in two sessions, spaced four weeks apart. Each session consists of 10 small injections, five on each side of the face (or the chosen treatment area). Following the procedure, you may notice small bumps at the injection sites, which usually disappear within 24-48 hours. The ones near the cheeks and chin settle quickly, while those near the hairline may take slightly longer but can be easily concealed.

The procedure is generally well-tolerated, as it involves very fine needles. However, some patients experience a mild burning sensation when the product is injected, as it spreads beneath the skin. This discomfort is brief, lasting only a few minutes, and numbing cream is usually not necessary.

Profhilo is ideal for individuals experiencing skin laxity and wanting to restore hydration, elasticity, and firmness. While results are more visible in older individuals with noticeable sagging, younger patients can also benefit from the treatment as a preventive measure.

Profhilo is not recommended for:

• People looking to treat forehead wrinkles – Anti-wrinkle injections or skin boosters are better alternatives for this concern.

• Pregnant or breastfeeding women – Due to a slight risk of infection, all injectable treatments should be avoided during this time.

The effects of Profhilo typically last 6 to 9 months. To maintain optimal results, a single top-up session every 3 to 6 months is recommended, depending on the degree of skin laxity and individual response to the treatment.

Profhilo is a very safe treatment with minimal risks. The most common side effects include temporary redness, swelling, and bruising at the injection sites, which usually subside within a few days. In rare cases, some patients may experience mild facial swelling, which resolves within one to two weeks. Following aftercare instructions carefully can help minimize any risks.
