Skin changes affect more than the face. Over time, the upper arms and abdomen may develop a loose, crepey appearance or feel less supple. For people concerned about these changes, Profhilo Body offers an injectable treatment specifically designed to address body skin laxity.
Here is what to know about its ingredients, benefits, treatment process, and expected results.
What Is Profhilo Body?
Profhilo Body is an injectable hyaluronic acid treatment developed by IBSA to improve skin laxity on the body. It belongs to the category of skin bioremodelling treatments, which focus on improving skin quality through tissue remodelling.
The manufacturer highlights the inner upper arms and abdomen as key treatment areas. A qualified medical practitioner should assess the proposed area and decide whether treatment is suitable.
Key Ingredients and Technology
Profhilo Body contains 96 mg of hyaluronic acid in each 3 ml prefilled syringe. Its formulation combines ultrapure high and low molecular weight hyaluronic acid in stabilised Hybrid Cooperative Complexes.
These complexes are produced using IBSA’s patented NAHYCO technology, a thermal process that does not use chemical stabilising agents.
Hyaluronic acid helps retain water within the skin. Profhilo Body uses this ingredient to support hydration alongside its intended tissue-remodelling action.
Skin Concerns Profhilo Body Is Designed to Address
Profhilo Body is intended to address changes in body skin quality, including:
- Mild to moderate skin laxity
- A loose or crepey appearance
- Reduced firmness and elasticity
- Dehydrated or rough-looking skin
Treatment Category
Professional Aesthetic Treatment / Injectable Body Skin Bioremodelling
Profhilo Body requires administration in a clinical setting. The accompanying body skincare products are separate from the injectable treatment.
Key Benefits of Profhilo Body
Improved hydration: The hyaluronic acid formulation supports moisture retention and may help skin feel more supple.
Improved firmness and elasticity: Treatment is designed to address skin laxity and support tissue remodelling.
Smoother skin texture: Manufacturer-reported clinical studies on the abdomen and inner arms describe improvements in roughness and skin laxity. Individual results vary, and study findings do not guarantee the same outcome for every patient.
What Happens During a Profhilo Body Treatment?
Treatment begins with a consultation. Your clinician examines the skin, discusses your goals, and reviews your medical history, medication, allergies, and previous aesthetic procedures.
If treatment is appropriate, Profhilo Body is injected at selected points in the treatment area. IBSA describes a dedicated BAP — Bio Aesthetic Points — technique for the inner arms and abdomen.
An initial course generally consists of two sessions approximately 30 days apart. The number of treatments, product quantity, and maintenance plan should be tailored to the individual.
What Is the Profhilo Body Kit?
The manufacturer’s Body Kit combines professional treatment with complementary skincare. It includes:
- Two 3 ml prefilled syringes of Profhilo Body
- Profhilo Figura Body Patches
- Profhilo Figura Body Cream
Results and Realistic Expectations
Changes should be assessed over time rather than immediately after treatment. Your practitioner can explain when to review progress and whether further sessions are appropriate.
The result depends on your starting skin condition and individual response. Profhilo Body’s intended role is to improve skin quality and laxity. Weight loss, fat reduction, or correction of substantial excess skin should not be promised.
Recovery and Safety Information
As an injectable procedure, treatment can cause local reactions such as tenderness, redness, swelling, or bruising. Ask your practitioner to explain the product-specific risks and provide written aftercare instructions.
Before treatment, disclose pregnancy or breastfeeding, allergies, medication, and any infection or inflammation in the proposed area. Contact your clinic promptly if symptoms are severe, unexpected, or worsening.
