What concerns can be discussed?
Reduced skin suppleness and fine lines may prompt an aesthetic consultation. Examination distinguishes surface changes, laxity and loss of volume. Profhilo is an injectable hyaluronic-acid medical device. Its purpose and behaviour differ from products intended to create precise projection or volume.
What to understand before deciding
A change in skin appearance and suppleness may be sought, but the degree and duration vary. This treatment does not remove every wrinkle or replace surgery when that is the appropriate option. Skincare, other approaches and having no procedure are discussed. Results cannot be guaranteed.
Appointments and timing
The consultation reviews your history, current medicines, previous injections and skin condition. If appropriate, an initial protocol may include two sessions around a month apart, followed by reassessment. The number of sessions and any maintenance are individualised. The quotation specifies the product and amount proposed.

Recovery, risks and precautions
Small raised areas, redness, tenderness, swelling or bruising may occur at injection sites. Infection, inflammatory reactions and vascular complications are risks to discuss. Significant pain, skin blanching or a visual disturbance following an injection require immediate medical attention. Individual aftercare instructions are provided at the appointment.
Which appointment should I book?
Choose an initial aesthetic consultation to assess your skin and prepare a quotation before any course of treatment. Mention pregnancy plans, breastfeeding, current infection and your medicines. Do not change prescribed medication yourself to undergo an aesthetic procedure.
Your questions
Will it add volume?
The aim discussed here is skin quality. A request to correct volume needs its own assessment and an appropriate product; the approaches are not interchangeable.
How many sessions are needed?
An initial protocol may include two sessions around a month apart. This must be adapted and reviewed clinically.
How much does it cost?
The initial aesthetic consultation is €120. A separate quotation explains procedure fees and the scope of the proposed treatment.
