And the secret…

It’s not just your treatment session that matters.

The time before your session, as well as the week (or more) afterwards is just as, if not more important.

Your Profhilo Timeline – Why Pre-Treatment Prep Is So Important

Most people think your results are based on what happens on the day of your treatment.

They’re wrong.

Preparing for your Profhilo Structura treatment can actually have a huge impact on the results you see.

Like priming soil before planting seeds. The better your ‘soil’ is (in this case, your skin), the better your ‘seeds’ can grow.

And here’s the secret your clinic won’t tell you…

Profhilo treatment stimulates your body’s natural production of collagen and elastin. The better your skin is before your treatment, the more it can respond to that stimulation. Recent studies show that patients who prepare their skin before Profhilo experience greater improvements in skin firmness and wrinkle reduction.

How cool is that?

Profhilo Pre-Treatment Tips To Get The Best Result

What’s the difference between good results and the best results?

Preparation. This is what you need to do in the 2 weeks leading up to your Profhilo treatment:

  • Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate. Drink more water from now on. Hydration is key to getting the best from hyaluronic acid. The more hydrated your skin is, the better the hyaluronic acid will work. You should aim for at least 8 glasses a day. But go for more if you can.
  • Stop taking blood thinners. This is so important. 7 days before your treatment stop taking anything that thins your blood. Aspirin, ibuprofen, fish oil supplements, vitamin E, ginkgo biloba – cut them all out of your diet for a week. They will increase bruising and swelling. See your doctor first if you need to, but this is a MUST.
  • Cleanse your skin. Cut out any aggressive treatments (chemical peels, laser resurfacing, microdermabrasion, etc) and stop using retinol products 3 days before your treatment. You want your skin in the best condition, not recovering from something else.
  • Avoid alcohol. This always surprises people… Alcohol dehydrates the skin and increases bruising. You should also avoid it for 24 hours before your treatment as it’s a blood thinner.

Follow These Profhilo Post-Treatment Rules

You’ve made the big day. Hooray!

But here’s where most people go wrong.

The first 24 hours after your Profhilo treatment are CRITICAL. This is the most important time for your skin.

  • Don’t touch. Don’t massage, don’t rub, don’t pick, and DEFINITELY don’t scratch. You want no bacteria on your face and you want the injections to stay exactly where your practitioner put them.
  • Stay cool. For 24 hours no hot showers, no sauna or steam rooms, no rigorous exercise, and no direct sunlight. Heat increases blood flow to the area. And blood flow = migration of the product out of the area. No movement = better result.
  • Sleep wisely. Sleep on your back, not your stomach, with your head elevated the first night. Use an extra pillow if you have to. This will prevent swelling and also stop you pressing on the injection points.

And…

Sleeping on your stomach is also a BIG NO. It causes product migration (again).

Your Profhilo Week-Long Post-Treatment Protocol

Now it’s time to be patient.

Day 1-3: The Settling Period

Swelling is normal. Itchy and uncomfortable maybe. The injection points will also be slightly higher. Don’t panic, this will even out. Keep your skincare regimen simple. A gentle cleanser and moisturiser only.

Day 4-7: Back To Normal (Almost)

By day four most of the swelling will have gone. You can get on with your normal routine but skip aggressive facial treatments and avoid overexposure to sunlight and heavy make-up on the injection sites.

Research shows that HA treatments significantly improve skin hydration, brightness, and uniformity when proper aftercare is followed.

Stop Making These Profhilo Mistakes That Waste Results

Let’s cut out these common mistakes…

Mistake #1: Expecting Results Too Soon

Profhilo is not a filler – you won’t instantly plump up. Profhilo works over a period of 4-6 weeks as your skin begins to naturally produce more collagen and elastin. The impatient people are the ones that get let down by Profhilo and don’t do the second treatment. Be patient.

Mistake #2: Not Booking Your Second Treatment

Profhilo is a two-part treatment. You need both of them. Missing the second treatment is like building half a house – pointless. The second treatment is what boosts your results. That’s when you will see a transformation.

Mistake #3: Neglecting Sun Protection

UV rays damage the skin – it’s a FACT. After investing in Profhilo treatment, guard that investment with SPF 30 or higher. Sunlight degrades the hyaluronic acid faster and undoes all of the hard work of collagen-building. Apply and reapply during the day.

Mistake #4: Going Back To Facial Treatments Too Soon

Don’t get any other facial treatments for at least 2 weeks. Your skin needs time to respond to the Profhilo treatment. Give it that time to do its thing before you try and stimulate more skin changes with another procedure.

Your Profhilo Timeline For Best Results

And finally…

Here’s a quick timeline of what to expect in your journey to incredible skin…

  • Week 1-2 – Hydration and texture start to improve. Your skin will feel different well before it looks different.
  • Week 3-4 – Gentle tightening and reduction of fine lines begins. This is when you’ll really notice that ‘lift’.
  • Week 6-8 – (After second treatment) Visible increase in firmness, brightness, and skin quality. Your skin is now better than it’s been for years.
  • Month 3-6 – Peak Profhilo results. Results continue to improve as your skin rebuilds collagen levels.

On average people get 6 months of results before they need a ‘top-up’ treatment. But with good skin care, that can extend to 9 months in some cases.

The Truth About Maximising Profhilo Results

Profhilo is an investment in your skin.

An investment that you need to nurture and care for to see the best result.

The work you do before and after your treatment might feel like a chore. But it’s the difference between getting a good result, and getting a mind-blowing result.

Stick to these pre and post-treatment tips and your skin will thank you.

Remember one thing…

Patience is key. Profhilo isn’t a quick fix, it’s a skin transformation. Give it the time it needs and you will be rewarded with results beyond your wildest dreams.
