Profhilo Body is an injectable solution made of stabilized hyaluronic acid, specifically developed for the treatment of mild to moderate skin laxity of the body. Its particularity lies in its unique formulation, based on a patented combination of high and low molecular weight hyaluronic acids, thermally stabilized without chemical agents. Unlike volumizing products used to reshape or fill, Profhilo Body is not intended to modify body contours. It acts as a biological inducer, stimulating the natural production of collagen and elastin, and improving the overall quality of the dermal tissue. Its low inflammatory risk, good tolerance and ability to diffuse into the skin allow it to act homogeneously on larger areas, making it particularly suitable for revitalizing the skin of the body.
Skin laxity of the body is a multifactorial phenomenon, influenced by natural aging, weight fluctuations, pregnancies, certain genetic predispositions, as well as lifestyle. Unlike cellulite or fat deposits, it affects the very structure of the skin, particularly the extracellular matrix of the dermis. Over time, the natural production of collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid decreases. The skin then loses its firmness, density and its ability to resist mechanical stress. This phenomenon is particularly visible in certain areas of the body such as the abdomen, arms, thighs, knees or the inner side of the arms. Traditional treatments, such as topical care, muscle exercises or massages, can help maintain skin tightening but often prove insufficient when there is a loss of dermal structure. It is with this in mind that Profhilo Body is positioned as an innovative medical technique, aiming to improve the quality of the tissues in depth, without altering existing volumes.
After injection, Profhilo Body diffuses progressively into the dermis and induces a biological stimulation of fibroblasts, without adding any volume. The natural production of type I, III and IV collagen is stimulated, as well as that of elastin. This mechanism, called bioremodeling, improves skin elasticity and restores the mechanical properties of the skin. The skin then gains resistance to stretching movements and tension, particularly in areas subject to friction or mechanical stress, such as the abdomen after pregnancy or the inner arms. The effects are not immediate, but progressive, reflecting a qualitative and deep improvement of the skin rather than a simple superficial correction.
This deep action helps reduce the crêpey appearance of the skin, improve its firmness and resistance, and reduce the sensation of thin, fragile or “easily marked” skin, often described by patients.
Profhilo Body is recommended when the skin shows mild to moderate laxity, accompanied by a loss of firmness or reduced skin density. The most frequently treated areas are the inner arms, the abdomen after pregnancy or weight fluctuations, the inner thighs and the peri-umbilical region. In some patients, the treatment can also be useful around the knees, especially when the skin creases in a sitting position or appears loosened.
The quality of the result depends on several factors : the thickness of the dermis, the degree of skin laxity, age, the intrinsic quality of the tissues, as well as the patient’s lifestyle.
Profhilo Body does not replace a surgical lift. It is intended rather for patients who wish to improve the structure and quality of their skin in a natural way, without adding volume.
The treatment is performed in the clinic, following a precise and standardized protocol. The skin is first cleansed, disinfected, and then the injection points are carefully marked. Profhilo Body is then injected using very fine needles or micro-cannulas, according to a predefined pattern including ten injection points. The product diffuses progressively through the tissues after injection.
The procedure is quick, well tolerated, and requires no social downtime. The classic protocol includes two sessions, usually spaced about four weeks apart. Depending on the medical evaluation and the skin’s response, a third session or a maintenance session may be proposed a few months later.
The effects of Profhilo Body are not immediate, as it is not a product intended to create volume but to progressively improve the intrinsic quality of the skin. The first changes usually appear after a few weeks, when the cellular activity stimulated by hyaluronic acid begins to strengthen dermal cohesion and improve tissue structure. The skin then gains elasticity, density and homogeneity, with a progressive reduction in the creased appearance and better resistance to movement.
Over the months, this biostimulation results in denser, firmer and less lax skin. The improvement occurs in a discreet but noticeable way, both visually and in terms of sensation. Patients often describe skin they perceive as better structured, more comfortable and more resilient, even when the aesthetic transformation remains subtle. The durability of the results varies depending on skin quality, age, lifestyle and environmental factors such as sun exposure or weight fluctuations. A maintenance protocol offered two to three times a year helps maintain the benefits obtained and prolong tissue stimulation over time.
The safety of an injectable treatment relies on the quality of the substance used, the mastery of the technical gesture and the prior assessment of the patient’s skin condition and overall health. In the case of Profhilo Body, the tolerance profile is considered favorable, notably thanks to the absence of a chemical cross-linking agent in its formulation. This characteristic limits inflammatory reactions and reduces the risk of adverse effects. The most common post-injection manifestations are mild and transient, resolving spontaneously within a few hours or a few days : slight redness, a feeling of tightness, local sensitivity or moderate swelling. Serious complications remain rare when the treatment is performed in an appropriate medical setting by an experienced physician trained in the technique.
As with any treatment, certain contraindications must be taken into account. The treatment must not be performed in cases of local skin infection, active dermatological disease in the area, in patients with an autoimmune disease, or in pregnant or breastfeeding women. Particular caution is also recommended for patients under immunosuppressive therapy or those with healing disorders. A preliminary consultation is essential to assess the indication, evaluate tissue quality, verify the absence of contraindications and define an appropriate protocol. This approach ensures both safety, medical relevance and the quality of the expected result, while respecting the specificities of each patient.
Profhilo has an outstanding tolerance profile. Its formulation, free of cross-linking agents, greatly limits the risk of inflammation or adverse reactions. When side effects do occur, they most often consist of slight redness, mild swelling or a small bruise at the injection point, and they disappear spontaneously within a few hours or a few days.
As with any injection, it is essential that the treatment be performed by an experienced physician, fully familiar with facial anatomy and the appropriate protocols. A preliminary consultation is essential to rule out any contraindication, particularly in cases of active skin infection, known allergy to hyaluronic acid or unstable autoimmune disease.
Published studies in specialized medical journals, such as Aesthetic Medicine, the Journal of Cosmetic and Laser Therapy and Dermatologic Surgery, confirm the relevance of high-concentration stabilized hyaluronic acid used in skin bioremodeling protocols, particularly within the Profhilo Body treatment. The medical literature describes its targeted biological action on fibroblasts, promoting endogenous synthesis of type I, III and IV collagen, as well as elastin. This process results in a measurable improvement in skin firmness, thickness and elasticity.
Several clinical studies also highlight a significant increase in tissue hydration, a reduction in mild to moderate skin laxity and better mechanical resistance of the skin in areas particularly prone to sagging, such as the inner arms, abdomen or thighs. The authors also underline the good tolerance of this treatment, the absence of social downtime and the high level of patient satisfaction, while recalling that it does not replace surgery in cases of significant skin laxity. Profhilo Body is considered a relevant medical option for a progressive and natural revitalization of skin quality.
The price of a Profhilo Body session is 600 CHF per syringe and per treated area. When the area is bilateral, such as the inner arms or thighs, two syringes are required, one for each side. For each session, a single area requires one syringe, while a bilateral area requires two.
The complete protocol generally includes two sessions spaced about four weeks apart, with the possibility of a third session depending on the quality of the skin and the response observed. The total cost of the treatment therefore varies according to the number of areas involved, that is, whether they are unilateral or bilateral, as well as the number of sessions selected after medical evaluation.
A detailed and personalized quote is systematically provided at the end of the consultation.
It is suitable for people with mild to moderate skin laxity, loss of firmness or altered skin quality, particularly after pregnancy, weight loss or with skin aging.
The most commonly treated areas are the inner arms, the abdomen (particularly after pregnancy), the inner thighs and the peri-umbilical area. In some cases, it can also be used on the knees.
Injections are generally well tolerated. Tingling or sensations of warmth are moderate and short-lived. A numbing cream can be applied if necessary.
The standard protocol includes two sessions spaced about four weeks apart. Depending on the quality of the skin and the response observed, a third session or a maintenance session may be proposed after a few months.
Results are not immediate. They appear progressively over the weeks, as collagen and elastin production begins to take place. The skin becomes firmer, more toned and visibly strengthened.
The effects can last several months, depending on skin quality, age, lifestyle and the maintenance protocol. Personalized follow-up helps optimize the duration of the results. To maintain the results, the session should be repeated twice a year.
No. Profhilo Body is not an alternative to a lifting procedure. It is intended for patients who wish to improve the quality and structure of their skin in a natural way, without altering shape or adding volume.
