Is Profhilo safe?
Profhilo is generally considered a safe treatment when performed by a qualified and registered medical professional, such as a GMC-registered doctor, NMC-registered nurse, or GDC-registered dentist. As with any injectable treatment, minor side effects may occur, such as temporary redness or bruising. To help reduce the risk of bruising, you may be advised to avoid alcohol and medications such as ibuprofen for 24 hours before treatment.
What are the risks of Profhilo?
Like any medical treatment, Profhilo carries some risks, although these are generally small.
Risk | Description |
|---|---|
Redness | A common reaction to the injections, usually settling within a few hours to a few days. |
Swelling | Mild swelling around the injection points, typically resolving within 2–3 days. |
Bruising | Caused by minor injury to small blood vessels during injection; usually minimal and temporary. |
Pain or tenderness | Short-lived discomfort at the injection sites, which may be eased with a cold compress. |
Infection | Very rare when proper hygiene is followed. Symptoms may include persistent redness, warmth, or pain. |
Allergic reaction | Extremely rare, as Profhilo is made from biocompatible hyaluronic acid. |
Uneven distribution | Uncommon, but may occasionally result in slight unevenness, which can often be corrected with aftercare or a follow-up treatment. |
