Reviews you can trust, from real people like you.
How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

Profhilo 7 day update
As promised, here is my final update on the effects of my first Profhilo facial injections.
It has been 7 days since the injections left bumps on my face and they are now 95% resolved.
My skin texture and tone is visibly better than before and fine lines have become less noticeable too.
I was told that the Profhilo protocol requires another set of injections after four weeks and frankly it may be a struggle to get me back into the chair again for that to happen.
Would I recommend Profhilo to my best friend? Probably, but with at least a few words of caution.
Clearly, what happened to me does not happen to everyone, but it is clear that the Profhilo bumps last a good deal longer than the manufacturer would like you to believe for some patients and perhaps my story will assist others in making an informed decision before choosing this procedure.

bumps...horrible, frightening bumps!
So, after watching numerous Youtube videos, I took the plunge and booked my appointment for Profhilo.
The treatment itself was pain-free and the brief facial massage afterwards was supposed to spread out the Profhilo under my skin.
After the treatment was over, I went into the restroom and had HUGE BUMPS where the injections had been given and when I questioned the nurse about them, I was told it was totally normal to have them and that they would be much less noticable in 3-4 hours.....That however, was not to be the case.
Well, here we are 12 hours later and I have BUMPS...HORRIBLE, FRIGHTENING BUMPS! (Think Star trek Aliens)
Reading the reviews here, it looks like the 3-4 hour guideline I was given is a tad optimistic and my bumps may last for 3 to 5 days.
Does anyone else have an experience like mine and some guidance on what to expect and use to make this dissipate?
Thanks to one and all!
