Profhilo for the Body, Hands and Décolletage

Profhilo is best known as a treatment for the face, but the skin on the face is not the only skin that ages. The neck, the décolletage, the backs of the hands and areas of the body all lose firmness and quality over time, often visibly, and often sooner than people expect. Because Profhilo works by improving the quality of the skin itself, it translates naturally to these areas. This guide explains how it helps beyond the face, and what it realistically achieves.

A quick reminder of what Profhilo does

Profhilo is a bio-remodelling treatment. Rather than adding volume like a filler, it delivers hyaluronic acid that spreads through the skin, deeply hydrating it and stimulating the skin to produce its own collagen and elastin. The result is firmer, better quality, more luminous skin across the treated area. If you would like the fuller picture, our complete guide to Profhilo covers how it works and how it compares with skin boosters and polynucleotides.

It is that focus on skin quality, rather than shape or volume, that makes it so well suited to the neck, chest, hands and body, where the concern is usually crepey, thinning, or lax skin rather than lost structure.

The areas beyond the face

The neck and décolletage

The neck and chest are among the first areas to show ageing and among the most commonly neglected. Thinner skin, sun exposure and years of movement leave the décolletage crepey and lined, sometimes while the face still looks fresh. Profhilo improves hydration and firmness here, softening that crepey texture and helping the area match the care given to the face.

The hands

Hands often give away age more than the face, becoming thinner, drier and more crepey over time. Profhilo improves the quality and hydration of the skin on the back of the hands, for a smoother, healthier look. Where the concern is lost volume and prominent tendons and veins, a different treatment may suit better, which is something to discuss at consultation.

The body

Areas such as the upper arms, the knees and the abdomen can develop crepey, lax skin, particularly after weight change or with age. Profhilo can improve skin quality in these areas as part of a considered plan. It is honest to say the effect is an improvement in quality rather than a tightening or a lift, and expectations should be set accordingly.

What to expect

Treatment is usually a short course, commonly two sessions around four weeks apart to establish the result, with maintenance every few months after that. Each session is quick, involving a small number of injection points across the area. You may have small raised bumps at the injection points that settle within a day, and occasionally minor bruising. Results build gradually over the weeks that follow as the skin responds, rather than appearing overnight.

As with the face, these areas do best with sun protection and good skincare alongside treatment, which help protect and extend the result. Our guide to why the face ages applies just as much to the skin of the neck, chest and hands.
