What should you not do after a Profhilo treatment?
After a Profhilo treatment, you naturally want to achieve the best result and give your skin the chance to recover optimally. Here are some important things you should not do after your Profhilo treatment.
Avoid intensive training
Directly after the treatment, it is important to avoid strenuous exertion and intensive training. Sweating can irritate the injected areas and disrupt the healing process. Give your body at least 24-48 hours of rest before you start exercising again.
Stay out of the sun and avoid heat
After a Profhilo treatment, your skin is more sensitive to UV radiation. Therefore, avoid direct sun exposure and do not use a sunbed. It is also better to skip sauna visits and hot baths for a while. Heat can worsen swelling and redness. Always use a sunscreen with high SPF when you go outside.
No make-up immediately after the treatment
It is tempting to immediately camouflage any redness or swelling, but it is better to wait at least 24 hours before applying make-up. This prevents the risk of infection and ensures that the skin can recover better.
Do not touch your face unnecessarily
Try to touch the treated areas as little as possible to prevent irritation. Also, avoid rubbing or massaging the face, unless your doctor has specifically indicated that this is necessary. Unnecessary touching can disrupt the distribution of the product.
Avoid alcohol and blood-thinning medication
It is wise to avoid drinking alcohol for at least 24 hours after the treatment and to avoid using blood-thinning medication such as aspirin. These can increase the risk of bruising and swelling.
Sleep on your back
If you are used to sleeping on your side or stomach, try to at least sleep on your back for the first night after the treatment. This helps to reduce the pressure on the injected areas and promotes an even distribution of the hyaluronic acid.
