Is the Profhilo program painful? Is it good? What are the pros and cons?

 

You may have heard of the Profhilo program before, right? Many people might wonder what it is, if it is a filler, and if it hurts. Profhilo is another trending innovation in the beauty industry, defined as a “Skin Quality Treatment” or the restoration of skin quality from within to help the skin return to looking healthy, radiant, and youthful again. This article will take everyone to get to know the Profhilo program in detail, from its working principles, the sensations during the procedure, and most importantly, the pros and cons you should know before deciding on this method.

Working principles of the Profhilo program

The heart of the Profhilo program is the use of 2 types of highly concentrated pure Hyaluronic Acid blended together to create a substance that can distribute thoroughly under the skin. Once injected, Profhilo acts like a "collagen and elastin stimulation factory" beneath the skin layer by gradually releasing active substances to stimulate skin cells to produce new collagen and elastin, making skin that was once sagging and lacking elasticity become firm and look naturally more youthful.

Is the Profhilo program painful? What is the feeling during and after the injection?

Pain level

The most frequently asked question is “Is the Profhilo program painful?” First, it must be said that the injection uses a specific technique called BAP (Bio Aesthetic Points), which involves injecting only 5 points per side of the face, meaning the number of times the needle enters the skin is very low. When used in conjunction with numbing cream, it helps reduce pain very well. The feeling during the injection is just like an "ant bite" or only slight pain.

The feeling after injection

Immediately after the injection, there may be small bumps at the injection sites, which is normal because these are the points where the Hyaluronic Acid is concentrated. These bumps will gradually disperse and subside on their own within 24 - 48 hours. Additionally, there may be redness, bruising, or slight swelling, which can occur and will disappear on its own in a short time.

What are the pros?

Naturally restores skin from the inside out

This program is not a filler used for filling or adding volume, but it goes deep into the skin structure to make the skin stronger from within, resulting in skin that looks naturally better without looking stiff or overfilled.

Glowy, plump, and healthy-looking skin

With the properties of Hyaluronic Acid that help retain moisture excellently, after the injection, the skin will look visibly plump, glowy, and more elastic, like adding water to dry skin to make it vibrant again.

Reduces fine lines and increases firmness

Continuous stimulation of collagen and elastin helps this program reduce shallow wrinkles and slight sagging very well, making the skin look firm and smoother.

Uses few injection points and requires no long recovery time

With the BAP technique using only 5 points per side, the injection takes a short time and requires no downtime, allowing you to quickly return to your daily activities.

What are the precautions?

Possible side effects and how to handle them

Even though it is a safe treatment, bruising, swelling, or redness may occur after the procedure, which is normal. It is recommended to treat the skin gently, avoid vigorous facial massages in the early stages, and consult a doctor immediately if severe symptoms occur.

Costs and the number of sessions required for the best results

Generally, it is recommended to have 2 injections spaced about 1 month apart to achieve clear and long-lasting results. The cost per session is at a higher level than general skin nourishment injections.

Profhilo program is not a filler for filling

What must be understood before injecting is that this program is not a filler. Therefore, it cannot help solve problems regarding filling very deep grooves or facial contouring, such as adding to the chin or temples. If you want to solve these problems, you should consult a doctor to consider using fillers in combination.

Summary of the Profhilo program, an alternative for healthy skin from within

Profhilo is considered an innovation that meets the needs of those who want to truly restore their skin to a better quality in terms of moisture, elasticity, and firmness. No need to worry about pain, which is minimal, and no long recovery time is required. However, the most important thing before deciding is to consult a specialist to assess your skin condition and plan the most appropriate treatment for you, ensuring the best and safest results.
