Profhilo - Pre Care Information
Do’s & Don’ts when preparing for your Profhilo treatment.
-It is crucial that you do not consume alcohol at least 24 hours before undergoing Profhilo injections, as alcohol can thin the blood and increase the possibility of bruising.
-You should also avoid medications like Blood Thinners, Aspiriin or Anti Inflammatories for 1 week prior to your treatment.
-Avoid other facial treatments at least 1 week prior to your treatment.
-Avoid extensive sun exposure / the use of tanning beds at least 3 days prior to your treatment.
(We obviously advise that you stop using tanning beds altogether because they increase your risk of skin cancer and accelerate visible signs of aging).
-Likewise, avoid Hair Removal (to the area you are receiving Profhilo) at least 1 week prior to your treatment.
(Whether that be Waxing, Laser or Cream – Shaving is okay if done gently ensuring no nicks).
-In addition, please make sure you are not wearing makeup on the day of your treatment.
Helpful tips to prevent bruising at the injection point:
-As mentioned above avoid medications like Blood Thinners, Aspiriin or Anti Inflammatories for 1 week prior to your treatment.
Take Arnica tablets for 1 week prior to your treatment
-Up your Iron, B12 & Vitamin C intake if you are prone to bruising.
