Flabby Arms
Ageing can lead to the appearance of skin lines due to repeated contractions of muscles and the loss of fat and collagens. This is often noticed as sagging skin on arms, presenting a less youthful appearance. If you're struggling with loose skin under arms, or even saggy skin under arms, and desire a more natural and younger look, there are solutions.

Tighten Skin, Reclaim Your Arm Confidence
At Thames Aesthetics Clinic, we utilise the most up-to-date technology and techniques to invigorate not just your abdomen, but also your arms with Profholio - an injectable hyaluronic acid that hydrates, tightens, and adds volume to the skin.
Profhilo, the first of its kind, is a trailblazing under-the-skin hyaluronic acid moisturising treatment, formulated with patented NAHYCO technology. This leads to a distinctive hyaluronic acid injectable gel, offering sustained stimulating activity on the dermal cells. Once injected into the skin, Profhilo interacts with skin cell receptors to combat skin laxity and improve and restore firmness, notably tackling loose skin upper arms.
As a hydrating and boosting treatment, Profhilo also effectively lifts and tightens sagging tissue in the arm area. It functions deep in the dermis to ensure ongoing skin hydration, assisting in reducing the appearance of wrinkles and smoothing the arm's skin texture. The result? The loose skin on your arms transformed, presenting a smoother and more youthful appearance.
Skin Tightening Procedure
Here's a step-by-step description of a typical flabby arms treatment using Profhilo:
Initial Consultation: The aesthetic practitioner will assess the patient's arm area and discuss their goals, medical history, and any concerns. This ensures the treatment plan is suitable and tailored.
Preparation:
The skin on the arms is thoroughly cleansed to remove impurities.
A numbing cream might be applied to minimize any discomfort, although Profhilo injections are generally well-tolerated.
Injection Process:
Using a fine needle, Profhilo (a hyaluronic acid-based gel) is injected strategically into specific points in the upper arm. These injections work to hydrate, firm, and stimulate collagen production deep within the dermis.
The procedure is quick, often completed within 15–30 minutes.
Post-Treatment Care:
The practitioner may gently massage the treated area to ensure even distribution of the product.
Aftercare instructions are provided, such as avoiding heavy physical activity, heat exposure (like saunas), and touching the area for at least 24 hours.
Results
Expected Results: Profhilo treatments for flabby arms are designed to improve skin laxity and overall firmness. Patients can expect:
Smoother and more hydrated skin.
Reduced appearance of sagging or loose skin.
Enhanced skin elasticity and texture, creating a more youthful look. These results typically develop gradually over a few weeks as the Profhilo stimulates collagen and elastin production. Optimal outcomes are usually seen after the second session.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are the results permanent?
While the treatment provides long-lasting improvement, maintenance sessions every 6–12 months may be needed to sustain the results as the natural aging process continues.
What can I expect in terms of recovery time?
Recovery is quick, with minimal downtime. Mild redness, swelling, or bruising at injection sites may occur, but these effects usually resolve within 24–48 hours.
Is the procedure painful?
Profhilo injections are generally well-tolerated, but a numbing cream can be applied to minimize discomfort. Patients often describe the sensation as mild and short-lived.
How many treatments are needed for visible results?
Typically, two sessions spaced about four weeks apart are recommended for optimal results. Some patients may require additional treatments, depending on the severity of the skin laxity.
What is Profhilo, and how does it work for flabby arms?
Profhilo is a hyaluronic acid-based injectable treatment designed to hydrate, firm, and rejuvenate the skin. For flabby arms, it stimulates collagen and elastin production, improving skin elasticity and reducing sagging over time.
