Bio-Remodellers

Common side effects are mild and temporary, typically lasting 24-48 hours. These include small injection site bumps, mild swelling, and possible bruising. More serious complications are extremely rare when administered by qualified medical practitioners following the correct injection protocol.

Profhilo^® treatment involves minimal discomfort. The BAP technique requires only 5 injection points on each side of the face, reducing the number of injections needed. We can apply topical numbing cream if desired. Most patients describe the sensation as a small pin prick that subsides quickly.

Recovery time is minimal. You may notice small bumps at the injection sites for 24-48 hours. Some patients experience mild swelling or bruising which typically resolves within a few days. You can resume normal activities immediately, though we recommend avoiding intense exercise, saunas, and sun exposure for 48 hours post-treatment.

Profhilo^® is most commonly used on the face, neck, and décolletage areas. It’s also effective for treating skin laxity on the upper arms, hands, knees, and abdomen. The unique formulation makes it particularly effective for areas showing signs of skin ageing, loss of elasticity, and dehydration.

As with any injectable treatment that uses a needle, there can be some minor side-effects after a Profhilo^® treatment. They can include some slight bruising, mild tenderness and some minor swelling. In very rare cases an allergic reaction, infection or nerve damage can be possible, but these instances are very few, as the hyaluronic acid used in Profhilo^® is extremely pure and bio-compatible. Profhilo^® also involves far fewer injections than many skin rejuvenation procedures for full face rejuvenation, so the side-effects are usually only very mild and subside very quickly.

Yes, Profhilo^® has an excellent safety profile and is CE marked for safety. It contains highly purified hyaluronic acid produced through a patented NAHYCO^® technology. For optimal safety, treatments should only be performed by qualified medical practitioners who understand facial anatomy and follow the specific BAP (Bio Aesthetic Points) injection protocol.

In most cases, Profhilo^® is delivered in 2 treatments, one month to 6 weeks apart for optimum results. You should start to see significant skin smoothing and plumping results around 4 weeks after your second treatment, though many of our patients comment that they can see results much faster. Some, if you are experiencing significant sun-damage or skin ageing, you may require a third treatment, 4 weeks after your second session. The likelihood of this will be discussed in your pre-treatment consultation with Dr Siobhán.
