Profhilo Body
anti-ageing injectable
launches in New Zealand
Profhilo Body has launched in New Zealand. The
new injectable is specifically designed for use on
the body, targeting previously hard to treat areas
such as the decolletage, abdomen, top of the
knees and arms.
Hot off the back of the successful launch of
Profhilo or the face and neck, which launched
in New Zealand and Australia in 2020 and
captured global interest in cosmetic clinics
across the globe, Medical Aesthetics distributor
Dermocosmètica has secured exclusive rights to
import and distribute Profhilo Body throughout
New Zealand.
The innovative Italian-made product is now
available in over 200 cosmetic practices across
New Zealand.
“Profhilo Body has been designed to
be the benchmark in the world of
aesthetic medicine for the treatment
of skin laxity and bio-remodelling,”
says George Kypreos, Managing
Director of Dermocosmètica
“It’s an ideal option for those
who have lost their body
confidence but don’t
want to resort to
surgery. It contains
the highest
concentration
of Ultrapure
hyaluronic
acid on the
market,
which is of
exceptional
quality
and made
in Italy using
cutting-edge
technologies. It
resembles manuka
honey with how it
flows into the different
layers of skin.
“The result is lifted tissue, improved texture,
intense hydration, an overall improvement in
the skin quality with firmer skin and a significant
reduction in wrinkles severity. Profhilo Body is a
real anti-ageing treatment for men and women of
all ages and is set to transform the market just as it
Profhilo has,” says Kypreos.
Clinic 42 is one of New Zealand’s most trusted
cosmetic medicine clinics which specialises in
offering a comprehensive international range of
cutting-edge, medically based and researched,
skin enhancement and rejuvenation procedures.
Clinic 42 has been using Profhilo for the face and
neck in its Auckland-based clinic for a number of
years with exceptional results, and is excited to
offer new Profhilo Body to treat the decolletage,
abdomen, top of the knees and arms – areas
that, previously, were almost impossible to treat
without surgery.
Leading appearance medicine expert Dr Ellen
Selkon from Clinic 42 says: “Profhilo Body is
the only injectable treatment on the market
specifically designed for the treatment of body
skin laxity and is particularly recommended for the
brachial area and abdomen.
“It is a game-changer for New Zealanders
especially those who have experienced
incremental sun exposure to exposed areas such
as their hands whilst driving and are now finding
that those areas have aged prematurely.
“The perfect lunchtime treatment, it requires
minimal downtime and is safe to use, with only
10 injection points for each area needed. Being
a non-invasive treatment reduces the possibility
of bruising and swelling, while maximising the
diffusion of the product in the tissues.
“Benefits of Profhilo Body include re-modelling the
skin tissue and giving it a plumper and tighter look,
improved integrity of the skin with increases in all
seven types of collagen, elastin and hydration, plus
wound healing abilities. Best of all the results can
last for at least six months.”
Wai Ariki Hot Springs
and Spa opens
It’s a momentous milestone for
everyone involved, after surpassing
multiple obstacles, including COVID
lockdowns, supply issues and a
changing economy.
One of the luxurious private pools
at Wai Ariki Hot Springs and Spa
Wai Ariki Hot Springs and
Spa General Manager,
Rania Sears, says
reaching the opening
date milestone is “hugely
exciting”.
And Ms Sears says the timing is
particularly auspicious coming when the
Pleiades star cluster first starts rising
in the early morning sky for Matariki,
symbolising a new year and new
beginnings.
“While Wai Ariki’s Hot Springs and
Spa development was impacted by
inevitable COVID delays, the collective
team involved have made the most of
the extra time to refine and enhance
every element to ensure it genuinely
contributes to health and wellbeing.
“Wai Ariki is genuinely beautiful – and it
is like nothing else in the world.”
The luxury wellness spa is a 4453m2
development on Rotorua’s newly
transformed lakefront and is grounded
in te ao Māori.

Rotorua’s unique Wai Ariki Hot Springs and Spa has officially
opened its doors to manuhiri after six years of development.
Whakaora (Restorative Journey), a

a premium space for bathing and spa
treatments; both have been designed
to deliver maximum wellbeing benefits,
building on Ngāti Whakaue’s centuriesold
healing practices.
Ms Sears says every aspect of Wai
Ariki Hot Springs and Spa draws on
the legacy of Ngāti Whakaue culture,
practices and manaakitanga to offer an
authentic wellness and spa experience
for manuhiri.
“This includes everything from the
natural, geothermally heated water
drawn directly from the Rachel Spring,
which contains numerous beneficial
minerals, to the interchange of hot and
cold experiences to support body and
mind, through to the healthy options
available in our cafe.
