Common questions
Is there any downtime?
Expect five small bumps where the product was placed — these usually flatten within 12 to 24 hours. Some people get mild redness or a tiny bruise, but most carry on with their day quite happily. We'd just ask you to skip makeup for the rest of the day, and hold off on the gym and any alcohol for 24 hours while your skin settles.
Does it hurt?
Most clients describe Profhilo as a brief, sharp sting — around a 4 out of 10 — as the thick hyaluronic acid spreads beneath the skin. You'll feel five small bumps form on each side of your face where the product sits; these are completely normal and flatten on their own within 12 to 24 hours. We don't use numbing
How many sessions will I need?
Profhilo works as a course of 2 sessions, spaced 4 weeks apart — that's when you'll see the real lifting and hydration kick in. A single session gives you a lovely glow, but the second session is what locks in the firming effect. After that, most people come back for a top-up around the 6-month mark to keep things looking fresh.
How long do the results last?
Results from a single Profhilo session typically last around six months, though this varies from person to person. Your metabolism, lifestyle, and how your skin naturally holds onto hydration all play a part — some clients find they're ready for a top-up closer to five months, others comfortably stretch to seven. For longer-lasting firmness and that lifted, hydrated look, most
Are there any side effects?
You can expect some small, raised bumps at the injection points — these are completely normal and usually settle within 12 to 24 hours. A little redness, tenderness or mild swelling around the treated area is also common straight after, and some clients notice slight bruising where the needle went in. These effects are all temporary and part of your skin beginning that deep hydration process.
