While both injectables use the same component, hyaluronic acid, Profhilo® and Dermal Filler work very differently.

Dermal filler is injected to enhance a specific area such as the lips and cheeks, and it does not typically migrate to the surrounding skin. In this way, it augments your natural facial structure to produce more angular cheekbones or plumper lips.

Profhilo® works very differently because it is made of 100% hyaluronic acid, while dermal fillers have other components. Because Profhilo® is made of a completely natural skin substance, it blends into the skin seamlessly and distributes itself evenly. The treatment also helps to retain moisture levels in the skin while boosting the production of collagen and elastin, both essential skin proteins, which help refresh the skin from the inside out.

As with any Laser Clinics UK treatment, our Dermal Filler Cosmetic Injectable treatments come with important after-care recommendations in order to achieve the best results. Our experienced medical team shares their post-treatment advice:

- Remain upright for four hours following your treatment and avoid lying down while the product settles into place.
- Avoid any Skin Treatments like Microdermabrasion, Skin Needling, or Dermal Rolling for two weeks after Dermal Fillers
- Avoid active skincare products such as Retinol for at least 5 days after the treatment.
- Avoid alcohol and painkillers such as ibuprofen before and after treatment as they tend to thin the blood and can make you prone to bruising.
- Do not exercise for 24 hours after your treatment and avoid any exercise that involves inverted poses (e.g. yoga, pilates, barre, etc) and provoke sweating as the Dermal Filler is settling into place.
- Avoid exposing your skin to excessive heat or cold including saunas, spas, steam rooms, hot yoga, ice baths, or skiing. Changes in temperature can lead you to touch or rub your face more which can put unwanted pressure on the treated muscles, risking dispersion of the protein into unwanted areas.
- Avoid massaging or applying pressure to the face which can affect how the product settles in a particular area. When cleansing the skin and applying skincare and makeup, only use gentle strokes.

Avoid vigorous physical activity or any large intakes of alcohol for 24 hours as this increases the risk of bruising. Aspirin and Vitamin E should not be taken one week before the treatment.
