Alice Hart-Davies and Dr Preema Vig discuss Body Profhilo, an injectable that hydrates skin and stimulates collagen production on areas like inner arms and abdomen. The treatment uses 3 ml total across ten micro-points and causes minimal discomfort. Visible tightening appears a few weeks after the second session.

The one thing I haven't asked you about body treatment-wise is Profhilo, because I mean, we know Profhilo is a facial injectable, but you use it on the body too, don't you? Absolutely.
But now they have brought out Body Profhilo. Okay. Profhilo Body, I should say. Yeah. And it is a bigger syringe. Okay. So the areas of treatment It can be anywhere, right? However, a great treatment for this inner part of the arms which starts to go, okay, as we get older, and also tummies as well, right?
Right. So how are you gonna—
so I was thinking, let's have a look at your arms here. Lovely. So it's— see this? Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah.
This area. And what it might do would be tighten it. Fantastic.
It's great for skin elasticity because I can, I can work on the muscle, but the skin is—
yeah, yeah, we've got all this. So how are we going to get before and after pictures of it? I'm going to take them. Yeah, fantastic.
Yeah, okay, it's exciting, right? Tell me why you inject these particular points. So it's a mixture of heavy and light chains as well. Okay, it's not a volumizer, No. But it's amazing to create more of an airbrushed look, helps with skin laxity, it biostimulates the skin, it produces different types of collagen. That's the main thing.
Just by having that sort of super hydrated state in the skin, it, it, it really remodels itself, doesn't it? Yeah, absolutely.
So the way they formulated this is that there'll be 0.3ml per point 10 points again.
And then does it spread under the skin in the way that it does in the face? Absolutely.
Great.
Tiny injection. That's fine. Belatedly, I was thinking, is this going to hurt? Answer is barely. I'm very curious, so I will put up with quite a lot pain-wise, but I mean, this is just—
it's not bad, is it?
Minor, very minor discomfort.
Tiny lumpy bumps.
I've forgotten that with Profhilo on the face you go home looking like you've got these alien wasp stings. So I'm gonna have alien arms for the rest of the afternoon, but these will go down pretty quickly, won't they? I mean, they'll be gone by tomorrow morning. Yeah, you've got a little bruise there.
Apologies.
See, this is going to cover it up and just keep it sterile, and it has Arnica in there as well. Lovely.
Fantastic.
There we go. Thank you. And how long do I keep that on for?
A few hours. Okay. And there'll be a couple of spares to give you as well. Thank you.
How long until you start to see results? Is it a couple of months after first treatment? Yes, so it's, um, it's a few weeks after the second usually. Okay. So I'll be looking fab by Christmas. Absolutely. Preema, thank you. Look, I got my badges of honor. It's really exciting to try such a new treatment, um, so thank you. What an amazing clinic. No, thank you so much for coming here today.
