Before treatment
An initial consultation will be done for all new patients to clinically assess your medical history. We will also give a full explanation of the procedure, clinical and aesthetic benefits, risks, aftercare and consent process for you to make an informed decision.
The actual treatment itself will take approximately 30 minutes depending on the number of areas treated and whether a local anaesthetic is required. However, as Profhilo® is subjectively a low pain procedure, numbing is not necessary for most clients.
During treatment
After cleaning and preparing your skin, you will receive a total of 10 subcutaneous injections of Profhilo® using the Bio Aesthetic Points (BAP) injection technique. The five key points on the face includes the area next to the ears, the nasolabial fold (laughter lines near the mouth), chin, under the eyes and top of the cheeks.
After injection, it disperses quickly beneath the skin to improve hydration without any need for a massage or risk of leaving lumps or nodules. However, if they are visible it typically dissipates within 24 hours as the product seeps into your skin.
After treatment
The results of the Profhilo® treatment will not be properly seen until four weeks after the second treatment. A follow up appointment will ensure that there are no complications.
