Introduction
Profhilo Body is an injectable hyaluronic acid treatment designed to improve skin hydration and firmness in areas of loose or crepey body skin. Unlike a dermal filler, it is not intended to add volume.
Treatment areas
Profhilo Body has been clinically studied for the inner arms and abdomen. At our clinics we also treat the hands, décolletage and knees, and other areas of loose body skin can be assessed at your consultation.
Suitability
Profhilo Body suits adults bothered by mild to moderate skin laxity, for example after weight change or with age. It is not suitable during pregnancy or breastfeeding, for people with certain autoimmune conditions, or over inflamed or broken skin. We will confirm your suitability at consultation.
Treatment
Your practitioner places a series of small injections at mapped points across the treatment area. The injections themselves are quick. Afterwards a soothing Profhilo Figura body patch is applied to the treated area, and you continue with the Figura body cream at home.
Sessions
An initial course of two sessions, 30 days apart, is recommended. To maintain the results, we usually recommend one to two maintenance sessions every 6 to 12 months.
Results
Skin hydration and quality often improve within the first few weeks, with firmness continuing to build after the second session. In the manufacturer’s clinical study, improvements in skin looseness and texture on the inner arm and abdomen were measured for up to four months after the first session.
Aftercare
After treatment you may notice small bumps, redness, itching or bruising where the injections were placed; these usually disappear within a few days. For the next 3 to 5 days, avoid exposing the treated area to UV light and use a high-protection sunscreen.
