Profhilo: 
Aftercare 

To support healing and maximize the effects of your Profhilo treatment, follow these key aftercare tips:

​

Immediate Aftercare (0-6 Hours Post-Treatment)

• Avoid Touching or Rubbing: Do not touch or massage the treated area to prevent irritation or infection.

• Sleep Position: Sleep on your back, face up, to avoid pressure on treated areas.

• Makeup: Avoid applying makeup for at least 12 hours.

​

First 24 Hours Post-Treatment

• Exercise & Alcohol: Avoid strenuous exercise and alcohol, as these can increase bruising and swelling.

• Heat Exposure: Avoid hot baths, saunas, steam rooms, and sun exposure to prevent swelling.

 

First Few Days Post-Treatment

• Cold Compress: Use a cold compress, if needed, to reduce redness and swelling (wrap ice in cloth).

• Hydration: Drink plenty of water to keep your skin hydrated and aid recovery.

• Avoid Anti-inflammatory Medications: For two days before and after treatment, avoid medications like ibuprofen and aspirin, as well as supplements such as St. John’s Wort, fish oil, and vitamins A, B, or E to minimize bruising.

• Gentle Skincare: Refrain from using products with retinoids or exfoliants for at least three days before and after treatment.

 

Physical Restrictions (Up to 5 Days)

• Avoid Compression: Don’t wear helmets, goggles, or masks that press on the treated areas.

 

Post-Treatment Cosmetic Restrictions (Up to 3 Weeks)

• Skip Cosmetic Procedures: Delay treatments such as microneedling, dermabrasion, radiofrequency, chemical peels, and lasers, which may interfere with results.

 

General Tips

• Temperature Extremes: Avoid very hot or cold environments for 24 hours.

• Treatment Bumps: Small bumps post-treatment are normal; avoid touching them as they usually subside within a few hours.
