HA injections are extensively used to fill in wrinkles and fine lines, particularly around the eyes, mouth, forehead and hands.
Pure Hyaluronic Acid
(HA) Injection
Pure hyaluronic acid (HA) injections are a popular non-surgical option in cosmetic treatment, known for their ability to hydrate and volumise the skin.
By injecting HA directly into the skin, these treatments aim to restore lost hydration and improve overall skin texture, resulting in a more youthful, refreshed appearance.
What is Profhilo?
Profhilo is a hyaluronic acid-based product designed specifically for skin bio-remodeling. Unlike traditional dermal fillers, Profhilo does not just fill wrinkles. It primarily works by stimulating collagen and elastin production, improving skin tone, texture, and elasticity. It contains one of the highest concentrations of HA on the market and is uniquely processed to release slowly, providing prolonged efficacy.

Downtime Expectations For Pure Hyaluronic Acid Injections
One of the appealing aspects of this treatment is the minimal downtime required, allowing people to return to their daily activities promptly. Patients may experience temporary redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection sites.
Aftercare and Maintenance
Proper aftercare maximises the benefits of hyaluronic acid injections and minimises potential side effects. Here are some general guidelines for post-treatment care:
Avoid Touching or Massaging the Treated Area
To prevent spreading the product to unintended areas, patients should avoid touching or massaging the treated areas for at least 24 hours after the injection.
Avoid Sun and Heat
For at least 48 hours post-treatment, patients should avoid excessive sun exposure, UV rays, and heat sources like saunas, hot tubs, and hot showers to prevent inflammation and aid healing.
Skip Strenuous Exercise
It’s recommended to avoid strenuous physical activities for 24 to 48 hours after the procedure to minimise swelling and bruising.
Use Gentle Skin Care Products
For a few days following the injections, use gentle, non-irritating skincare products and avoid abrasive facial treatments.
Follow-Up Appointments
Attend follow-up appointments as recommended. These sessions are important to assess the healing process and the need for additional touch-ups to optimise the results.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Can hyaluronic acid injections trigger acne or other skin breakouts?
While not common, some people may experience temporary skin breakouts post-injection. This can be due to the skin reacting to the physical intervention rather than the hyaluronic acid itself.
How long before a special event should I get hyaluronic acid injections to look my best?
It’s recommended to schedule injections at least 2 weeks before any major events. This timing allows any swelling or bruising to subside and the filler to settle properly, ensuring optimal results.
Can dietary supplements affect the longevity of hyaluronic acid fillers?
Some supplements, especially those that increase blood flow to the skin, like high doses of vitamin E or fish oil, might increase bruising and swelling.
Can I undergo microdermabrasion or chemical peels after hyaluronic acid injections?
It is generally advised to wait at least two weeks before undergoing procedures like microdermabrasion or chemical peels. This waiting period allows the filler to integrate fully with the tissue, reducing the risk of unintentionally altering the effects.
Is it normal for one side to look different from the other immediately after injections?
It’s normal to observe some asymmetry immediately post-injection, often due to swelling or the initial settling of the filler. This usually evens out within a few days to a week.
