If you’ve been looking for an alternative to Dermal Filler treatment, you may have come across or completed a Profhilo treatment. Profhilo features 100% hyaluronic acid with no added chemicals and is also biocompatible, meaning it won’t cause any harm to your facial tissue. Not having additives significantly reduces the risk of any complications or side effects, but it is still important to follow appropriate aftercare advice for any skin treatment.

This guide will cover everything you need to know about aftercare for Profhilo treatment to ensure your results are quick and effective.

AFTERCARE TIPS FOR Profhilo Treatment

EXPECT some redness, small pin prick marks, and minor Bruising

You’ll be pleased to know that most people who have Profhilo can return to their daily activities immediately following treatment. With that being said, some of the notable side effects you should be prepared for include redness at the injection site, small pinprick marks where the injections took place and some minor bruising around the treated area.

These side effects are common for all injectable treatments and will often reduce entirely after a few days.

Avoid Makeup for 24 hours

We advise keeping your face clean for at least 24 hours following your treatment. This includes makeup and any other products you may use as part of a skincare routine. Applying these products to your face immediately after treatment can increase the risk of infection or clog the injection site.

After 24 hours, or when your side effects have reduced, feel free to go back to wearing makeup and applying any skin care that you would have previously.

Avoid intense exercise for at least 48 hours

Although exercising is an essential part of a routine for some, please refrain from any strenuous physical activity for at least 48 hours following treatment. Exercise in the form of walking is fine, however, please avoid any activities that may force you to break a sweat. As the Profhilo solution will be injected into your face, bruising is often caused by breaking the blood vessels, and exercise can extend the recovery period.

Bruising will heal and recover quickly however, strenuous exercise will increase your heart rate. Doing this will make the vessels more visible, resulting in delayed bruising following your treatment. Therefore, we recommend keeping your blood pressure as low as possible to let your facial rejuvenation work its magic.

AVOID ALCOHOL FOR 24 HOURS BEFORE AND AFTER YOUR TREATMENT

Hold off on any celebratory champers or any intake of alcohol for that matter, for the initial 24 hours prior to and following your Profhilo treatment. Alcohol is known to thin the blood which can lead to prolonged side effects. Drinking alcohol before or after your treatment within 24 hours will significantly prolong the healing process and prevent you from enjoying the results of your treatment as soon as possible.

Avoid extremes of heat or cold for at least 48 hours post-treatment

We strongly recommend avoiding extremely hot or cold environments for at least 48 hours following your treatment. This includes being out in the sun during summer, freezing temperatures during winter, tanning beds, saunas or hot tube journeys.

Now, we don’t mean to avoid the sun and sit in the dark for two days like a vampire, but try to limit your exposure to overly hot or cold environments where possible. Maybe have your treatment at a time of year when the temperature is average, like spring or autumn, or at a time when you can stay home and recover.
