Injection Bumps · Work And Events · Pacific Plaza
After Profhilo, the visible part is brief: a small bump at each injection point, much softer by that evening for most people, and sometimes a bruise. The change in your skin comes later, and slowly. Dr Sin Yong judges it at the follow-up visit, so treat these timings as a guide.
A typical pattern; yours may differ. What to do in each phase is on Profhilo aftercare, and the treatment itself is on Profhilo at Atelier.
| When | What you may notice | Most people can |
|---|---|---|
| Day 0 | A soft, dome-shaped bump at each of the five points per side: over the cheekbone, near the base of the nose, in front of the ear and along the lower face. Mild redness, possibly a pinpoint bruise. In most people the bumps are much softer by that evening. | Carry on with ordinary activity. Keep close-up meetings, cameras and heat until the bumps have flattened. |
| Days 1–3 | The bumps flatten as the gel spreads. A faint softness can remain where a bump was, which is the gel still dispersing. | Work and see people. Walking is fine from the next day, and make-up can go on once the points have closed and the bumps have flattened. |
| Days 4–7 | The bumps have gone before any bruise finishes fading. Bruising, tenderness or brief swelling after an injectable usually settles within 3–7 days. | Cover a fading bruise with a little make-up if you wish. |
| Week 2 onwards | The skin looks ordinary. Nothing about the shape of the face has changed, because Profhilo adds no volume. | Attend the second session, four weeks after the first. |
| When results show | Hydration, firmness and elasticity change gradually, building over four to eight weeks, then fading slowly over the following months. | Have the change judged at the follow-up visit, not in the first days. |
Work And Social Life
The visible phase is short. What others might notice is the bumps on the day itself and, now and then, a small bruise for a few days afterwards.
If your work puts you close to people or in front of a camera, keep the treatment day clear and allow for a bruise over the following few days.

Events And Travel
Booking Profhilo just before a wedding or a photo shoot gives you the bumps without the benefit, because the change in your skin builds over weeks rather than days. The standard course at Atelier is two sessions four weeks apart, so start early and let Dr SY plan the dates with you.
For photographs, allow a few days after each session for any bruise to fade. Flying is usually fine once the bumps have settled.
