What is Profhilo body?
Profhilo Body is an injectable treatment made from stabilized hyaluronic acid (HA). Unlike traditional dermal fillers, it doesn’t add volume but instead works as a bioremodeller by stimulating the skin’s natural production of collagen and elastin. Once injected, the HA spreads evenly through the tissue, drawing in moisture and triggering a bio-stimulation process that improves the skin’s structure, tone, and firmness over time.
It is commonly used on areas of the body that tend to lose elasticity or develop crepey texture, such as the upper arms, abdomen, inner thighs, knees, and décolletage. The benefits include deep hydration, tighter and firmer skin, improved elasticity, and natural-looking results without the risk of overfilling. A typical treatment involves two sessions spaced four weeks apart, with maintenance recommended every six to nine months. Unlike the original Profhilo (used for the face, neck, and hands), Profhilo Body is specifically formulated and injected in a way that suits larger body areas.
Dr Fab is a trainer for this product as well as the medical director for the distributor.

What's our process?
Before Treatment
- Before you undergo Profhilo Body treatment, you should book a face-to-face consultation with our experienced practitioner.
- The consultation will assess your suitability for the procedure, examining your medical history and goals to ensure it’s appropriate.
- We highly recommend asking any questions or expressing concerns you may have before proceeding.
- The practitioner will let you know what to expect on the day of the procedure and explain the treatment process.
- We will let you know help to prepare for your appointment, which can often include avoiding alcohol and specific medications or supplements. Blood-thinning and anti-inflammatory medicines, such as aspirin may increase the chance of bruising but we would advise stopping these when they are medically necessary
- Before your session, drink plenty of water to keep your body hydrated and eat a light meal.
During Treatment
- On the day of your Profhilo Body procedure, we recommend visiting the clinic with a clean face and not wearing makeup.
- Baseline photos will taken.
- Profhilo is injected into the skin in 5 specicfic points on each side of the face
- The procedure is a bit stingy but no anaesthetic is needed
- There will be 5 visible lumps on each side of the face but these disperse rapidly, occasionally bruising can occur.
After Treatment
- After you have received your Profhilo Body injections, the practitioner will provide you with aftercare instructions.
- We usually advise avoiding physical exercise, swimming and cosmetic procedures for 24-48 hours. It is best to stay out of direct sunlight and use a high SPF sunscreen.
- There is no downtime with Profhilo, and you can expect a recovery within hours.
- It is common to experience minor side effects following treatment, including redness, swelling and bruising. These side effects typically should only last for a few days.
- You will see the full results of your treatment within 6-8 weeks. The effects will last for around 3-6 months
- The treatment protocol is 2 sessions 4 weeks apart
- As we continually age and skin is subject to ongoing oxidative stress we recommend a maintenance regime of 1 session every 3-4 months. This allows patients to get cumulative benefits. Studies have shown that if you go beyond 6-7 months skin goes back to baseline then the 2 sessions are required again.

FAQs
What is Profhilo Body and how does it work?
Profhilo Body is an advanced injectable treatment designed to improve skin laxity and texture on the body. It contains highly purified hyaluronic acid that works by deeply hydrating the skin and stimulating collagen and elastin production. At Enhance Clinispa in Bolton, Dr Fab uses Profhilo Body to remodel and firm areas where the skin has become crepey or loose, helping to restore smoother, stronger-looking skin.
Which areas can be treated with Profhilo Body?
Profhilo Body is commonly used on areas prone to skin laxity such as the abdomen, upper arms, knees, and thighs. It is particularly popular following weight loss or pregnancy, where skin may appear thin or crepey. During your consultation, Dr Fab will assess your concerns and advise whether Profhilo Body is suitable for your chosen area.
How many treatments will I need?
Profhilo Body is usually performed as a course of two treatments, spaced approximately four weeks apart. This allows optimal collagen stimulation and skin remodelling. Depending on your skin quality and goals, maintenance sessions may be recommended every 6–9 months.
Is there any downtime?
Downtime is minimal. You may notice small injection-site bumps, mild swelling, or tenderness immediately after treatment, but these typically settle within a few days. Most patients can resume normal daily activities straight away, although strenuous exercise and excessive heat should be avoided for 24 hours.
When will I see results and how long do they last?
Results develop gradually as collagen and elastin production increase. Many patients begin to notice improvements in skin firmness and texture within a few weeks, with continued enhancement after the second session. Results can last several months, and regular maintenance treatments can help prolong the benefits.
