Introduction

Welcome to Omniya Clinic’s guide to your Injectable Skin Booster treatment (including Prohilo/Profhilo Structura & Volite). Below, you will find comprehensive contraindications, pre-care and post-care information for your treatment. If you have any questions, please contact our reception team who will be happy to assist you.

Medical History

You will receive a medical history form by email ahead of your appointment. If you’re not able to complete it beforehand, we kindly ask that you arrive about 10 minutes early to fill it in at the clinic.

If there have been any changes to your health, or you’ve started any new medication since your last visit, please let us know before your appointment so we can make sure your treatment is still right for you.

Contraindications

This treatment is contraindicated if you have or are:

  • Active Infection/Inflammation: Any active skin infection or inflammation in the area intended for treatment.
  • Allergy: Known hypersensitivity or allergy to hyaluronic acid or any other components of the product.
  • Autoimmune/Inflammatory Conditions: Active inflammatory or autoimmune skin disorders in the treatment area.
  • Pregnant/Breastfeeding: Typically contraindicated or used with caution during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
  • Systemic Conditions: Unstable or uncontrolled systemic conditions that might affect healing or increase the risk of complications.

Pre Treatment Advice

Please:

  • Avoid wearing makeup on the day of treatment
  • Arrive with a clean, well-prepared face
  • Avoid strenuous activities immediately before treatment

Post Treatment Instructions & Expectations

You can have your treatment and continue with your day to day activities. However, we do advise that you avoid wearing makeup, or touching your face after treatment. This will help to reduce the risk of any potential infection.

After the treatment, it is recommended to avoid physical strain and sports for 24 hours. Please also avoid having further cosmetic procedures for 48 hours. It is not recommended to have sauna or steamy bath for the first few days either. It’s best to stay out of the sun if any bruising or prolonged swelling occurs.
