Is Profhilo also suitable for men?
Of course, Profhilo is also suitable for men. Since the results are primarily an improvement in skin quality and structure, and in no way change the shape of the face, no one can see that you have had an aesthetic procedure.
Who is not allowed to undergo Profhilo treatment?
Although Profhilo is a safe and effective treatment method, there are certain cases where it may not be recommended. For example:

- Pregnancy or breastfeeding.
An experienced doctor should discuss all these points with you in a consultation.

Is Profhilo suitable for all skin types?
Yes, Profhilo is suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin. The gentle formulation and non-invasive nature of the treatment make it a safe option for a wide range of people.
Are there any restrictions after Profhilo treatment?
In the hours following treatment, excessive sun exposure and strenuous physical activity should be avoided to achieve optimal results. Otherwise, there are no special restrictions and you can continue with your normal daily routine.

How long does it take before a Profhilo treatment can be carried out?
Profhilo treatment can usually be carried out within a short time after the consultation. At the patient’s special request, and if there are no contraindications, it can also be carried out immediately afterwards. It is important that all your questions and concerns regarding the treatment have been discussed with you in detail beforehand, that you feel fully informed and that you have been able to make your decision calmly. Your treatment plan will be individually tailored to your needs and schedule.
Can I wear make-up after a Profhilo treatment?
Ideally, no make-up should be applied for the first couple of hours after the treatment to minimize the risk of infection. After that, you can wear make-up if you wish. It is recommended to use a gentle skin care product after the treatment to optimize the results.
