The thing people notice first after Profhilo is the bumps. They look a little like insect bites, and they are completely normal. Here is what to expect, and how to look after your skin.
Why you get bumps
Profhilo is placed at five points on each side of the face. At each point the product sits just under the skin as a small raised bump, then spreads out and hydrates the skin around it. The bump is the product, waiting to do its job.
They usually settle by the next day. Drinking plenty of water helps.
What else is normal
- a little redness where the injections went in
- sometimes a small bruise
Most of my clients go straight back to work afterwards.
What to avoid
- Make-up on the area for 12 hours.
- Hard exercise and saunas for 24 hours.
- Rubbing or massaging the bumps. Leave them alone and let the product spread by itself.
That’s it. There is very little you need to do, which is one of the reasons people like this treatment.
What you’ll notice, and when
Don’t expect a visible change after your first session. Some people feel more hydrated, or find their make-up sits better. The result shows about one to two weeks after your second session, which is 4 weeks after the first.
When to message me
If a bump hasn’t settled after a couple of days, or anything worries you, send me a message. I’d always rather you asked. I check in with my clients.
Before your next session
If you had any reaction or bruising last time, tell me, and I’ll take it into account. And if something has changed with your health or your medication since your first session, let me know before we start.
