My Profhilo Treatment Experience with Dr. Kim: A Journey to Healthier Skin by Bethany Field
Over the years, I’ve had several treatments with Dr. Kim, but recently, I started noticing the inevitable signs of aging—particularly a loss of tightness in my skin. This prompted me to have a chat with Dr. Kim about my options, and I couldn’t have been more reassured by her knowledge and professionalism. She walked me through a range of treatments, explaining everything in detail, including what each option would target and the associated costs.
I ultimately chose Profhilo because it was quick, relatively affordable, and seemed to promise fast results. I wasn’t looking to add volume to my face or target crepey skin; instead, I wanted something that would boost my skin’s overall hydration and firmness. Dr. Kim also offered Profhilo Structura and Profhilo Body, but I found the classic version suited my needs best. Though it was a bit of an investment, I saw it as a way to maintain and improve my skin’s health as I age.
The Profhilo Initial Consultation and Pre-Treatment Prep
Before my first treatment, Dr. Kim used a special device to check the hydration levels of my skin and took a few photos to document the "before" stage. I loved that she took this step, as it gave me a clear starting point and set realistic expectations. We discussed the process in-depth, and Dr. Kim made sure I was completely comfortable with what to expect.
The Treatment Day
On the day of the treatment, Dr. Kim offered numbing cream, but I decided to skip it, as she assured me the procedure would only take a few minutes. True to her word, it was over in about 3 minutes! She carefully assessed my face, tailoring the treatment to what I personally needed rather than following a generic template. This personalized approach really set her apart.
Dr. Kim also offered me the choice of watching TV or listening to music to distract myself during the procedure. I chose to simply hold a stress ball and chat with her, which worked wonders. I won’t lie—the injections weren’t exactly pleasant, but they were tolerable, and Dr. Kim took extra care to do the most sensitive areas first, explaining that certain spots have more nerves. Her calm and engaging conversation was the perfect distraction.
Profhilo Post-Treatment and Immediate Results
After the treatment, Dr. Kim offered me an ice pack, but I didn’t feel the need to use it. There were slight bumps where the injections had been, but as Dr. Kim explained, they weren’t too noticeable and didn’t result in any bruising at all—an added bonus!
Within a week, I began to notice visible changes: my skin was noticeably more hydrated, and I had a subtle glow that others even commented on! The skin felt tighter, and overall, I was thrilled with how quickly the results began to show.
The Second Profhilo Session and Follow-Up
A month later, I returned for my second treatment. This time around, it felt even less uncomfortable, and once again, there were no issues with bruising or downtime. I felt more confident than ever in Dr. Kim’s expertise.
After my second session, I had a follow-up appointment where we compared my before-and-after photos, and Dr. Kim checked my skin’s hydration levels again. To my surprise, my skin hydration had doubled! The photos also revealed smoother, more radiant skin. While I didn’t expect dramatic changes (since Profhilo is more of a preventative treatment), I was beyond pleased with the subtle yet noticeable improvements.
Final Thoughts on Profhilo
Looking back, I’m so happy with my decision to choose Profhilo. It’s given my skin the boost it needed without making any drastic changes. I feel more confident, and the results are exactly what I was hoping for—hydrated, glowing, and firmer skin. I’m even considering trying some of the other skin boosters that Dr. Kim offers, as she has so many options to further enhance my skin’s appearance as I age.
If you’re considering skin treatments and unsure where to start, I can’t recommend Dr. Kim enough. She takes the time to understand your individual needs and provides personalized recommendations that are both practical and effective. Whether it’s Profhilo or another treatment, you’ll be in expert hands!
