Profhilo Body

We’re familiar with Profhilo as a facial rejuvenation treatment. Great news! There’s now a version of Profhilo specifically for the body.

Unlike some fillers that add volume, Profhilo Body focuses on actually revitalizing the skin. It addresses sagging skin using all-natural hyaluronic acid.

What does Profhilo entail?

In 2016, Profhilo Body was recognized at the Aesthetics Awards as the most innovative treatment due to its unique hyaluronic acid infusion, which offers exceptional benefits.

Profhilo, including the body version, is formulated with pure hyaluronic acid without any chemical additives. It is a rejuvenation treatment specifically designed to address sagging skin on the body.

The effectiveness of Profhilo Body stems from its stimulation of collagen and elastin production. This results in skin that feels firmer, healthier, and more elastic.

Which areas can be targeted with Profhilo Body?

You can treat the following areas with Profhilo Body:

  • Sagging skin on the inside of the upper arms
  • Back of the knees
  • Abdominal area

After the treatment, the skin looks natural and feels firmer and more elastic, with improved hydration.

Who is the Profhilo Body treatment intended for?

The treatment is recommended for people aged 30 and older who want to combat sagging skin.

If desired, this treatment can also be performed in conjunction with other procedures.

When will the result be visible?

Immediately after the treatment, you’ll notice the first signs of skin improvement thanks to improved hydration. Facial contours will quickly appear firmer. However, the best results are visible around three months after the start of the treatment, due to the increased production of collagen and elastin in the skin.

The maximum effect becomes progressively more evident between 6 and 10 weeks after the initial treatment, as collagen and elastin formation takes time to fully develop.

Care before and after treatment:

  1. Cool the area thoroughly with our cold pack.
  2. Apply anti-bruising cream.
  3. Avoid rubbing or massaging the treated area for 48 hours.
  4. Do not visit a sauna for two weeks and avoid exposure to direct sunlight and tanning beds.
  5. Refrain from smoking for 24 hours after the treatment.
  6. Do not apply makeup until the injection sites have completely healed.
  7. Avoid exercising for 48 hours after the treatment.
  8. Refrain from drinking alcohol for 48 hours after the treatment.
  9. Enjoy your renewed look!

FAQ

You can easily book an appointment with Dr. Kim Detollenaere online without a prior consultation. Treatment details will be discussed immediately beforehand. Five superficial injections are administered per side of the face using the 5-point BAP technique. 0.2 ml of hyaluronic acid is injected into each of five specific points on the face. These points are carefully selected to minimize the risk of bruising. The injections are generally well tolerated, making numbing cream unnecessary. An initial series of Profhilo treatments typically requires two to three sessions, spaced about a month apart, depending on your skin condition.

Because Profhilo activates natural skin cells, it takes about a month after the last treatment for improvements in skin texture to become visible. Although the Profhilo treatment consists of two to three treatments, you can see the results for about 12 months.

Our skin is naturally programmed to age. This means that to continue improving and tightening the skin, you must continue to support this process. When mature skin is no longer stimulated, the achieved effect will gradually diminish. After an initial series of two to three treatments, it is recommended to repeat the Profhilo treatment with one session every 9 to 12 months. How often this is necessary depends on your skin condition. We will provide you with personalized advice on the ideal frequency for you.

Profhilo is ideal for both men and women who want to improve the quality of their face, neck, or hands. Treatments typically begin around age 35, as collagen and elastin production in the skin decreases from that age onward, leading to aging. Many of our clients choose Profhilo to improve skin texture, reduce fine lines, achieve a radiant glow, and firm skin.

Profhilo is injected into the desired area using a needle. Thanks to Profhilo® Body’s excellent distribution, only a few injections are needed to treat an entire area. The procedure is both quick and painless. We recommend a series of two treatments, spaced 30 days apart. Additional treatments can be considered if necessary.

While a Profhilo Body treatment doesn’t stop the natural aging process, the duration of visible results can vary depending on skin condition, the rate of volume loss, and external influences such as sunlight. On average, the effect lasts 6 to 9 months. We recommend a maintenance treatment every 6 months for best results. Typically, 2 to 3 treatments are required, with a month’s break in between, depending on the sagging skin.

Hyaluronic acid is a natural component of the skin, making it generally well-tolerated when injected. However, there are some rare side effects associated with the treatment. These may include mild swelling, redness, and occasional bruising, which is more likely to be due to the injection than the product itself. These effects usually subside quickly. If you are unsure about a side effect, we advise you to contact us immediately.

Profhilo doesn’t work like a filler that plumps up the skin or adds volume. It uses hyaluronic acid to activate a natural process in the skin. This hyaluronic acid in Profhilo has a different role than in fillers. Profhilo treatments stimulate the skin to produce its own collagen and elastin, encouraging older and sagging tissues to form new, firmer cells.

A Profhilo treatment can be considered for individuals around the age of 30 who are seeking firmer and tighter skin from the core. However, for certain specific needs, a surgical procedure may be necessary. Consider a no-obligation consultation with us. We do not offer this treatment to pregnant women.
