Profhilo® Body Kit: Advanced Skin Remodelling for the Body

Profhilo® Body is an advanced injectable treatment designed to address skin laxity and improve skin quality on the body. Specifically formulated for areas prone to sagging, such as the abdomen, inner arms, knees, and décolletage, this innovative treatment offers a non-surgical solution to rejuvenate and tighten the skin.

What Is Profhilo® Body?

Profhilo® Body is a hyaluronic acid-based injectable treatment that stimulates collagen and elastin production, leading to improved skin firmness, elasticity, and hydration.

Unlike traditional dermal fillers that focus on adding volume, Profhilo® Body works by remodelling the skin from within, enhancing overall skin quality without altering body contours.

Key Features of the Profhilo Body Kit

  1. Improves Skin Quality: The hyaluronic acid in Profhilo provides intense hydration to the skin, resulting in smoother, plumper, and firmer skin.
  2. Reduces Wrinkles and Sagging: By promoting collagen and elastin production, the treatment helps to tighten and lift loose or sagging skin, which is common in areas like the arms or abdomen.
  3. Quick and Minimally Invasive: The treatment typically involves just a few injections in the targeted area, making it relatively quick and minimally invasive with no need for downtime.
  4. Long-Lasting Effects: Results can last anywhere from 6 months to a year, depending on individual factors such as skin condition, age, and lifestyle.
  5. Suitable for Different Areas: The Profhilo Body Kit can be used on multiple areas of the body, including the abdomen, arms, thighs, and décolletage, to improve skin quality and firmness.

The Treatment Process

The Profhilo® Body treatment involves a series of injections administered using a fine needle. The procedure is relatively quick, typically taking less than an hour, and can be performed with minimal discomfort.

A topical numbing cream may be applied to enhance comfort during the treatment.

Post-Treatment Care

After the treatment, patients can expect minimal downtime. Some redness or swelling at the injection sites may occur but usually subsides within a few hours. It is advisable to avoid strenuous activities and direct sun exposure for 24 hours post-treatment.

Expected Results

Visible improvements can be seen within 4 to 6 weeks as collagen and elastin production is stimulated. Optimal results are typically achieved after two sessions spaced 4 weeks apart, with maintenance treatments recommended every 6 months to sustain the benefits.
