Thanks to the innovative injection technique used in a Profhilo treatment, only 5 small injections are required on each side of the face, making the treatment relatively quick and convenient.
Because Profhilo is injected directly under the skin with very fine needles at predetermined points, it is relatively painless; you may feel a brief stinging or scratching sensation, but this does not last long.
Patients may opt for a topical pain reliever or anesthetic prior to Profhilo treatment, but this is generally not necessary. The procedure is very quick and only takes about 10 minutes.
Immediately after the procedure, small bumps will be seen at the injection site. These are usually very easy to cover and can take up to 24 hours to heal.
