Why Aftercare Matters with Profhilo Structura

Profhilo Structura isn’t a filler — it’s an injectable bioremodeller. It stimulates your skin’s natural collagen and elastin production, delivering gradual, beautiful improvements in structure and elasticity.

Because Profhilo Structura works at a deep biological level, how you care for your skin post-treatment can significantly enhance your results.

Proper aftercare helps:

• Minimise swelling and bruising
• Support collagen stimulation
• Prolong and optimise results
• Keep skin healthy and radiant

1. Minimise Swelling with Gentle Cooling

It’s completely normal to experience slight swelling, redness, or tenderness at the injection points for 24–48 hours.

Top Tip:

• Apply a cold pack wrapped in a cloth for 5–10 minutes at a time.
• Repeat a few times on the first day if needed.

Avoid:

• Pressing or massaging the injection sites.
• Applying ice directly to your skin.

Scientific Backing:
Studies confirm that immediate gentle cooling after dermal injections can significantly reduce inflammation.

2. Avoid Strenuous Exercise for 24 Hours

Exercise increases blood flow, which can worsen swelling or cause bruising.

Key Aftercare Advice:

• Skip the gym, hot yoga, running, and vigorous activity for 24–48 hours.
• Gentle walks are fine if you feel comfortable.

Important to Realise:
Letting your skin settle quietly allows the Profhilo Structura to integrate optimally.

3. No Makeup or Active Skincare for 24 Hours

After Profhilo Structura, your skin is more permeable and sensitive.

Important to Remember:

• No makeup for at least 24 hours.
• Avoid products with retinol, glycolic acid, salicylic acid, or Vitamin C for three days.
• Stick to a simple cleanser and soothing moisturiser.

Point Often Overlooked:
Allowing your skin to breathe and recover ensures better integration and minimal irritation.

4. Stay Hydrated Inside and Out

Profhilo Structura loves water! Its hyaluronic acid base draws hydration deep into your tissues.

Top Tips:

• Drink 2–2.5 litres of water daily for at least a week after treatment.
• Use a hydrating serum like ZO® Hydrating Serum to support your skin’s moisture barrier.

Most Important:
Hydrated skin = better collagen stimulation and more luminous results.

5. Protect Your Skin From the Sun

Sun exposure can slow down collagen production and cause inflammation.

Best Practice:

• Use a high-SPF, broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 50+).
• Wear a hat outdoors.
• Avoid intense sun exposure for at least a week.

Scientific Reference:
Sun protection is crucial after biostimulation treatments to avoid hyperpigmentation and protect collagen.
