Profhilo Body

As we age, it’s natural for our skin to lose some of its youthful firmness and elasticity. However, for some people these signs of skin ageing can cause more than just a few laughter lines—they can negatively impact self-esteem and quality of life.

If you’ve lost confidence in how your body looks due to skin laxity in areas like your bra and tummy, don’t despair. There is an innovative non-surgical solution that could help you regain control—Profhilo injections for the body in London.

What is Profhilo for Body?

Profhilo is a hyaluronic acid treatment developed to rejuvenate skin with minimal downtime. While hyaluronic acid is more commonly known for its work on facial volume loss, Profhilo has been shown to be just as effective at tightening loose skin all over the body when administered via microinjections.

Each Profhilo treatment involves a series of tiny injections just beneath the skin’s surface using ultra-fine needles. Pure-grade hyaluronic acid gel is deposited to smoothly fill out wrinkles and folds, adding volume and hydration back into indented and crepey areas. But Profhilo’s unique formula includes more than just hyaluronic acid—the addition of a non cross-linking agent helps the gel integrate with your body’s natural chemistry to stimulate collagen production.

Over subsequent weeks after treatment, your collagen levels are boosted as your body incorporates the injected hyaluronic acid. This causes gradual skin tightening and lifting of sagging areas. The results of Profhilo are not instant like other dermal fillers, but last significantly longer since it works from the inside out—up to 18 months according to clinical studies.

Benefits of Profhilo for Body

• Stimulates natural collagen and elastin production for tightened, lifted skin over time
• Uses purified hyaluronic acid to replenish hydration and volume
• Minimal pain and no bruising or swelling
• Quick recovery with no downtime needed
• Long-lasting results for up to 18 months
• Non-surgical procedure so no general anaesthesia required
• Discreet method that leaves no visible scars

Am I a Candidate for Profhilo Body Treatment?

To be a suitable candidate for Profhilo body treatment, you need to have signs of skin laxity rather than excess fat deposits. The areas most commonly treated are:

• Arms – Skin on the back of the upper arms often sags with age.
• Abdomen – Loose skin on the stomach is a common complaint after weight fluctuations.
• Buttocks – Sagging posterior skin can make the bum appear droopy.
• Thighs – Thin skin on the outer thighs is prone to wrinkling and creasing.
• Knees – Show signs of ageing almost as quick as the face 

The treatment is generally safe for all skin types. You should avoid it if pregnant or breastfeeding, and tell our practitioner about any medications you’re taking. Profhilo injections are usually well-tolerated, but redness, swelling or tenderness may occur at injection sites initially.

Profhilo vs Other Body Treatment Options

For skin laxity, Profhilo offers distinct advantages over other options such as surgery, radiofrequency devices, or even just creams and moisturisers. Let’s compare some popular treatments:

Treatment	Downtime	Longevity
Profhilo	Minimal (1-3 days)	Up to 18 months
BodyTite	1-2 weeks	1-2 years
Thermage	1-3 days	6-12 months
Creams	None	1-3 months

As you can see, Profhilo provides excellent longevity close to surgical skin tightening like BodyTite, but with far less downtime and a significantly more affordable cost. Thermage and creams require ongoing usage to maintain benefits as well.

Frequently Asked Questions about Profhilo Body

How many treatments will I need?

Most patients see optimal results after 3 sessions, 4 weeks apart, with annual touch-ups.

What do the injections feel like?

Profhilo uses very thin needles, so you may feel minor discomfort similar to tiny pinpricks. 

How soon will I see results?

Initial tightening is often noticed within 1-2 weeks. Full collagen regrowth takes 3 months on average but can last up to 18 months.

What areas can be treated?

Common areas are arms, abdomen, back, thighs, knees and buttocks. Your injector will determine the best treatment plan based on your specific concerns.

Can Profhilo replace liposuction?

While Profhilo contours skin, it does not reduce fat pockets like liposuction. It is best for mild to moderate skin laxity rather than excess adipose tissue.

Is it safe to exercise after?

You can resume normal activities and exercise immediately. Some mild swelling or tenderness is normal and should subside within 3 days. Avoid massaging or applying heat to treated areas.

How long will results last?

Most patients maintain noticeable skin tightening for 12-18 months on average before annual touch-ups are recommended to maintain benefits long term.

Can I combine Profhilo body with other treatments?

Absolutely! Profhilo body can be combined with other complementary treatments, like Hydrafacial and HIFU, to further enhance your results. During your consultation, we’ll discuss any additional treatments that may benefit your skin and overall aesthetic goals.  Please let me know which ones 1 or 2 so I can link here.
