Profhilo is an injectable skin treatment designed to improve skin hydration and elasticity. It involves injecting a high concentration of hyaluronic acid into the skin, which helps to rejuvenate and tighten the skin. Proper aftercare is crucial to maximise the benefits of the treatment and ensure optimal results. Below are some essential aftercare tips following a Profhilo treatment:
Immediate Aftercare
Avoid Touching the Area: Refrain from touching or rubbing the treated area for at least 24 hours to prevent irritation or infection.
Ice Packs: Use ice packs wrapped in a clean cloth to gently reduce any swelling or discomfort. Apply intermittently for short periods.
Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water to aid in the hydration process initiated by the treatment.
Avoid Makeup: Do not apply makeup on the treated area for at least 12 hours post-treatment to allow your skin to breathe and heal.
Activities to Avoid
Exercise: Avoid strenuous exercise for at least 24-48 hours after treatment to minimize swelling and bruising.
Saunas and Hot Showers: Steer clear of saunas, hot showers, or baths for the first 48 hours as heat can increase swelling.
Sun Exposure: Avoid direct sun exposure and tanning beds for a week. Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with a high SPF when going outdoors.
Alcohol and Caffeine: Limit alcohol and caffeine intake for 24 hours as they can contribute to dehydration and increase the risk of bruising.
Long-term Care
Skincare Routine: Maintain a gentle skincare routine. Use a mild cleanser and avoid harsh exfoliants for a few days post-treatment.
Follow-up Treatments: Profhilo is often administered in a series of treatments. ⅔ at 4 week intervals. Ensure you attend all recommended follow-up sessions for best results.
Consult Your Practitioner: If you experience any unusual side effects or have concerns, contact your practitioner promptly.
By following these aftercare guidelines, you can help ensure that your Profhilo treatment results in a more radiant, hydrated, and youthful appearance. Remember, each individual's skin may respond differently, so adjust these suggestions based on your personal experience and in consultation with your practitioner.
