Research has shown that within the aesthetic industry 80% of our time is dedicated to the face with only 20% to the body. When it comes to women’s bodies, the commonest body imperfection is skin laxity. This is dependent on many factors and does not affect all women at a specific age. The commonest area of the body affected by skin laxity is the abdomen and the inner arms. Women often choose to wear clothes that cover these areas. Now we have a treatment that can help improve this hence giving women their confidence back!

​

What causes skin laxity?

 

As we age, genetic and environmental influences such as our lifestyle and our habits cause changes within the skin. This leads to the skin experiencing reduced skin hydration as well as alteration of collagen and elastic fibres within it. Collagen within the skin is what gives its strength and elastin gives elasticity. Losing skin laxity will cause your skin to lose its structural integrity and begin to droop. 

​

Just like regular Profhilo® prevention is better than cure and addressing this early can prevent worsening of skin laxity. As an innovative treatment, Profhilo® BODY is a quick treatment with minimal or no downtime. 

​

How does Profhilo® BODY work?

 

During the injection, the optimal quantity of patented hyaluronic acid is brought directly into the tissue requiring modification. Here, it does three things. Firstly, it encourages the multiplication of the correct type of skin cells (proliferation). Secondly, it improves cell movement and relocation (migration). Thirdly, it promotes their arrangement (organisation) within the tissue. Additionally, it opposes any damage to normal skin tissue by free radicals in this region. The result is skin remodelling with improvement in skin laxity.

​

Why is Profhilo® BODY specific for the abdomen and inner arm?

 

These areas have been identified as the most at-risk of skin laxity on the body. Hence, they will benefit the most from Profhilo BODY. The abdominal skin undergoes various changes in a woman’s life for example after pregnancy or following weight loss. The skin of the inner arm is thought to be the most vulnerable part for the development of skin laxity.

​

What does the treatment involve?

 

After an in-depth consultation, the area to be treated is marked out and cleaned. A specified amount of Profhilo BODY is injected at each point to maximise the results.

​

For optimal results, you will require 2 treatments one month apart and this course is repeated every 6 months.
