Profhilo Body
Firms crêped skin on the inner arms, thighs, knees or abdomen, without changing your shape. Two sessions four weeks apart, with a result lasting around six months. Few injection points, so the session stays short.
The treatment
What is
Profhilo Body?
Profhilo Body applies to the body the same principle used on the face: a highly concentrated, very fluid hyaluronic acid that spreads widely under the skin instead of staying put.
It therefore adds no volume and does not change your shape. It works on the quality of the skin itself: by attracting water and stimulating your cells, it prompts the skin to rebuild collagen and elastin, the fibres that give it firmness.
The most requested areas at the Petit-Lancy clinic are the inner arms, inner thighs, knees, the abdomen after pregnancy or weight loss, and the décolleté. These are areas where skin becomes crêped and where creams have virtually no effect.
We should be precise about what this treatment does and does not do, because expectations here are often high. It improves the quality and hold of the skin. It does not make you slimmer, does not treat cellulite and does not remove excess skin after significant weight loss. If your concern is body shape or cellulite, the physician will direct you to a different treatment.
The protocol comprises two sessions four weeks apart. As on the face, the effect is gradual: allow six to eight weeks for the full result, which then lasts around six months.
The injections use few points, which keeps the session short despite the size of the areas.
A photograph of the area is taken before the first session: on the body the change is gradual and visual memory is unreliable. Comparing images is the only honest way to judge whether the treatment has worked for you.

How it works
The treatment
process.
Prior consultation
Avoid alcohol, aspirin and anti-inflammatories for 48 hours: they encourage bruising. Report any pregnancy, breastfeeding, autoimmune condition or allergy to hyaluronic acid. Wear comfortable clothing that is easy to remove. We postpone the session in case of skin infection or a lesion on the area to be treated. Avoid hair removal on the area in the preceding 48 hours.
Application of the treatment
The physician identifies the injection points according to the area, few in number as the product spreads widely on its own. The skin is disinfected. The product is placed slowly under the skin. A small bump appears at each point and settles within a few hours. You feel brief pressure. The session stays short despite the size of the areas treated.
Post-Procedure Care & Follow-Up
The small bumps usually disappear within four to twenty-four hours. Do not massage the area: the product needs to distribute on its own. Avoid strenuous exercise, saunas, steam rooms and hot baths for 48 hours. Avoid very tight clothing on the first day. The second session is scheduled four weeks later.
