Description:

The 1st treatment was performed during T0 visit, after the basal evaluations planned by the study procedure and repeated after 1 month (T1). 2 mL of Profhilo® was injected into the middle-deep dermis by needle (29 G) using a bolus technique called "BAP" (Bio Aesthetic Point technique); this technique involves a series of 10 micro-wheals on 3 vertical-lines (3-4-3 ). The amount of product injected was 0.2 ml for each injection point.
