Can you have a treatment of Profhilo 3 days before you receive a Covid-19 vaccination?

As we are in a pandemic situation, getting vaccinated should be our primary concern. Reports that there are potential side effects after vaccination in people who have had dermal fillers and profhilo is arising. Leaving many of you with doubts and confusion about whether to have a vaccination, avoid getting filler, or wait for some time between the two. Some people have experienced swelling and redness in the cosmetic injectables treated area which is very rare but happened and it is not life threatening because the swelling resolves within a few days.
Fillers are gel like substances that are used for restoring volume, sculpting and lifting the face. Some people have said that they have experienced a delayed swelling reaction in the areas treated with dermal fillers and profhilo after vaccination. The side effects and such reactions after injectables are not new at all. These are well known to occur when filler and profhilo treatments are performed while the immune system of the body is highly active than normal; usually when the body’s immune system is stimulated due to certain conditions.
If you have had the dermal fillers or profhilo before the vaccination, it is better to wait for four weeks to get vaccinated but if you haven’t had your profhilo, it is highly recommended to hold and get your vaccination immediately. Then, you can go for cosmetic injectable treatments after a month from the vaccination date. This is because problems of dermal filler reactions are reported in people who have had vaccination just a few days to a couple of weeks after cosmetic procedures. Even though these side effects are rare it is treatable and so don’t stop from getting vaccinated.

Hello and thank you for your question. It will vary on practitioner- guidance currently suggests avoiding filler 3-4 weeks either side of the vaccine. I hope that helps answer your question. Always seek an experienced and qualified medical professional for these treatments. Very best wishes
