WHO IS THE TREATMENT SUITABLE FOR?
Profhilo is an anti-ageing hydration treatment that helps boost hydration beneath the skin's surface and kickstart the natural production of collagen and elastin. It is suitable for anyone who would benefit from increased hydration, more collagen, or elastin. Typically clients are aged 30-55 and want to look younger and for their skin on their face, neck, hand, or arms to look better.
WHAT AREAS ARE TREATED WITH PROFHILO?
• Profhilo is a rejuvenating treatment that can smooth fine lines, wrinkles, skin crepeiness and improve skin texture in the following areas:
• Face
• Neck
• Decolletage
• Arms (bingo-wings)
• Elbows
• Hands
• knees
• Smokers lines and fine lines around the mouth
• Under-eye wrinkles
• Fine lines around the eyes

WHAT RESULTS CAN I EXPECT?
Your skin will look better hydrated almost immediately after treatment. The client won't see the collagen elastin's benefit until at least six weeks after your first treatment. The best results will appear 4-6 weeks after your second treatment.
HOW MANY TREATMENTS WILL I NEED?
To achieve the results, you will need 2 Profhilo treatments four weeks apart initially and then a top-up at six months to maintain the effect.
ARE THERE ANY SIDE EFFECTS?
Profhilo was launched in Italy in February 2015, and it's been in use worldwide ever since. Over 300,000 patients have been treated so far, with no adverse reactions reported. Side effects (e.g., redness, pain, swelling) are mild and temporary. From a safety perspective, it is made from ultra-pure, natural hyaluronic acid and stabilised without chemical cross-linking agents; this reduces the risk of adverse reactions, so the downtime is minimal.
The client can only undertake injectable procedures like Profhilo after you attend a face-to-face consultation with one of our doctors, who will discuss a full list of cautions and contraindications.
WHAT SHOULD I DO AFTER MY PROFHILO TREATMENT?
• No makeup for 6 hours after treatment
• Refrain from any facials for two weeks
• No heavy exercise for 24 hours after treatment
• Be gentle when washing the filled area of your face, neck, chest, or hands
• Try to avoid unnecessary touching of your face for the first 24 hours after treatment

COVID VACCINATIONS NOTICE –Disclaimer
SARS –COV-2 (Covid –19 infection), as well as the Covid –19 vaccinations, are both highly challenging to our immune system by over-stimulating its response. Therefore both (Covid-19 infection, as well as the vaccine) can lead to complications after injection. Nodules and local reactions can occur within weeks, months, or even years after the treatment when our immune system is challenged. So far generally there is a low incidence of such cases reported. Your safety is paramount to us and therefore we are advising you the following: Do not have Dermal Filler, Profhilo, or anti-wrinkle injections injections 2 weeks before your planned vaccination or 3 weeks after. If you have been infected with Covid-19, do not have Dermal filler, Profhilo, or anti-wrinkle injections injections for the first 3 weeks of being symptom-free. If you develop any symptoms after the treatments, please contact our Clinics immediately. Our doctors will advise you further. As medical practitioners, our doctors can prescribe the necessary medication if required.
