Before and After Profhilo Treatment

Before Profhilo Treatment

Prior to treatment with Profhilo, patients will need to have a face-to-face consultation with Dr. Buchanan to assess suitabilty. If a patient has recently had any other filler or toxin treatment in the same area, then they may need to wait before having treatment with Profhilo®. This will all be discussed during the thorough consultation process.

In order to reduce the risk of bruising, patients should avoid alcohol, and if safe to do so also avoid anti-inflammatories, aspirin, and food supplements that may cause blood thinning, unless prescribed by a doctor.

After Profhilo Treatment

The downtime is minimal. When a patient is injected using the five-point injection technique on each side of the face, each injection is immediately noticeable. However, the product starts diffusing very quickly, and they completely disappear within 24 hours.

After treatment, it is recommended to avoid physical exercise and sports for 24 hours, and swimming for 48 hours.

Patients should also avoid having further cosmetic procedures for 48 hours.

It is not recommended to have sauna or a steam bath for the first few days either. It's also best to stay out of the sun, if any bruising or prolonged swelling occurs.
