Could you endure 40 jabs of 'injectable moisturiser' at a cost of £850 to ... trends now
A 'transformative' injectable moisturiser which smooths wrinkles on the stomach, arms and bust is being offered at UK cosmetic clinics.
The innovative procedure involves up to 40 jabs of diluted hyaluronic acid – a natural substance used in skincare products as well as lip and cheek fillers – which rejuvenates the skin.
Women report that the £850 treatment, Profhilo Body, gives remarkable results, erasing fine lines and sagging caused by ageing, sunbathing, weight loss and pregnancy.
Conventional injectable fillers smooth skin by adding volume with substances such as hyaluronic acid and other gels, but can be lumpy if not used correctly.
But this latest technique instead stimulates the skin's own renewal processes, surgeons claim, prompting the release of collagen proteins which naturally give skin its elasticity.

'But Profhilo Body is formulated so that the hyaluronic acid dissipates quite quickly into the tissue – within a few days.
