Do you have to wait a full 4 weeks between first and second Profhilo treatment?

Question

I had my first profhilo injections 2 days ago and my aesthetics girl had booked me back in for my second injections 19 days after my first treatment. I’m 33 with normal skin nothing excessive. Is this too soon? Everything on the internet says 4 weeks. Would it not work properly if I don’t wait the full 4 weeks? Thanks

Profhilo is an injectable anti-aging skin remodeling treatment containing the highest concentrations of hyaluronic acid (HA) which is specially formulated for people's skin that lacks elasticity and volume.
It is different from the usual dermal fillers and plumping because the slow release of hyaluronic acid by Profhilo stimulates collagen and elastin production which in turn improves skin tone, hydration as well as the appearance of the fine lines. 
As HA is hydrophilic which means it draws water towards itself and holds from your body, so Profhilo acts as a hydrator rather than a dermal filler. Because of this reason, it is a fantastic choice for tired, dull looking skin which is transformed into a firm and bright skin. This transformation takes place within 3 to 6 days of HA treatment. Within the next few weeks, elastin and collagen production is stimulated which produces a secondary effect of skin firming and tightening.
After the age of 30, collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid levels in the skin drop rapidly which results in aging looks such as wrinkles, fine lines, and others. Profhilo reverses some of these changes and helps restore aging free skin.
It is injected below the surface of the skin over two sessions with a gap of 4 weeks. A single course of Profhilo involves two injectable procedures with four-week gap in between. It is necessary to have the gap between this is because, in the 30 days gap between the treatment, your skin works hard to produce new elastin and collagen to give your skin a tight, firmer, smoother, and plumper complexion to provide the optimum results you expect. The full effect of the treatment is usually seen after 2 months from the second treatment.
