When patients think about aesthetic treatments, the focus is almost always on the face. At TLC, we often see beautifully maintained facial skin paired with largely overlooked concerns on the body.

Areas such as the buttocks, thighs, abdomen and arms are just as prone to changes in texture, laxity and uneven tone. Yet they are rarely treated with the same level of clinical care.

At The Lovely Clinic, there has been a clear shift in how body skin is approached. Treatments are selected not just to improve appearance but also to strengthen the skin itself, using regenerative, evidence-based techniques.

In the lead-up to summer, the most common concerns we see include:

• Skin laxity and loss of firmness
• Cellulite and uneven texture
• Dull or thinning skin
• Lack of volume or contour, particularly in the buttock area

The key is not to rely on a single treatment, but to combine the right technologies to address each layer of the skin.

Why does body skin need a different treatment approach?

Body skin behaves very differently from facial skin. It is thicker, more prone to mechanical stress, and often slower to respond to topical products.

A common mistake patients make is trying to address concerns such as cellulite or skin laxity with skincare alone. In reality, these changes occur deeper within the skin and connective tissue.

We often see:

• Cellulite that does not improve despite exercise
• Crepey or thinning skin on the arms or abdomen
• Loss of volume or shape in the buttocks
• Uneven texture that persists despite exfoliation

In more stubborn cases, the skin’s underlying structure tends to weaken. This is where regenerative injectables become particularly effective.

How can you improve your body’s skin quality before summer?

For most patients, improving body skin is about addressing three key areas: skin structure and firmness, texture and surface quality, and volume and contour, where needed.

At The Lovely Clinic, we offer a range of advanced treatments, including Lanluma X, Sunekos Cell, Sunekos Body and Profhilo Body, to achieve this.

What is Lanluma X and how does it improve body contour?

Lanluma X is a collagen-stimulating injectable designed to restore volume and improve skin quality, particularly in the buttock area.

How is it performed?

The treatment involves injecting the product into targeted areas to restore volume, improve shape and contour, and stimulate collagen production over time. Unlike traditional fillers, Lanluma X works gradually by encouraging the body to produce its own collagen, meaning results develop over several weeks.

This is one of the most popular options for patients looking to enhance the appearance of the buttocks without surgery.

Who is Lanluma X suitable for?

This treatment is ideal for patients who would like to improve the shape and volume of the buttocks, are experiencing mild to moderate skin laxity, and prefer a natural, progressive result.

We may combine Lanluma X with skin quality treatments to improve both structure and texture.

What results can you expect?

Patients typically notice improved contour and projection, firmer, better-supported skin, and a gradual, natural-looking enhancement. Results develop over time and tend to look more refined than immediate volumising treatments.

Is it safe?

Lanluma X is considered safe for buttock enhancement because it uses poly-L-lactic acid to stimulate your body’s own collagen, and it’s placed just beneath the skin rather than deep in fat or muscle, reducing the risk of serious complications.

Unlike a Brazilian Butt Lift, which is a surgical procedure involving fat transfer into deeper tissues, Lanluma is non-surgical and works gradually, making it a lower-risk alternative.

Lanluma X works very differently from hyaluronic acid fillers in the buttocks. Hyaluronic acid is typically injected as larger volumes of gel that can sit in the tissue like a “pool” or implant, which may carry a higher risk of issues like migration or infection.

Lanluma, on the other hand, is made of tiny poly-L-lactic acid microparticles that are dispersed just beneath the skin; they gradually break down while stimulating your body’s own collagen, so it doesn’t sit as a single mass of product in the area.

What is Sunekos Cell, and how does it help cellulite?

Sunekos Cell is specifically designed to target cellulite and skin irregularities.

How does it work?

It uses a combination of amino acids and hyaluronic acid to stimulate collagen and elastin production, improve microcirculation, and reduce the appearance of dimpling.

Cellulite is not simply a surface concern. It is linked to structural changes within the connective tissue and fat layers. Sunekos Cell works at this deeper level to improve the overall quality and organisation of the skin.

Who is it suitable for?

This treatment is particularly effective for:

• Mild to moderate cellulite
• Uneven skin texture on the thighs or buttocks
• Patients looking for a non-invasive option

In more advanced cases, a course of treatment is usually required to achieve optimal improvement.

What is Sunekos Body, and how does it improve skin texture?

Sunekos Body focuses on improving skin quality, elasticity and hydration, particularly in areas where the skin has become thinner or less firm.

How is it used in practice?

It is injected into areas where the skin shows signs of reduced elasticity or uneven texture. Common treatment areas include the abdomen, arms and inner thighs.

We often use Sunekos Body when patients are concerned about early skin laxity or a gradual loss of firmness.

What results can you expect?

Patients often notice:

• Smoother, more refined skin texture
• Improved elasticity
• Better hydration and overall skin quality

Results develop gradually as the skin regenerates and strengthens.

What is Profhilo Body and how does it differ?

Profhilo Body is designed to deeply hydrate and remodel the skin, improving overall firmness and quality.

How does it work?

It contains a high concentration of hyaluronic acid, which penetrates the tissue to improve hydration, stimulate collagen and elastin production, and enhance skin firmness.

Unlike volumising treatments, it works across a broader area to improve skin quality rather than adding structure or contour.

Who is it suitable for?

This treatment is best suited for:

• Crepey or lax skin
• Areas such as the arms, abdomen or knees
• Patients looking for a subtle but noticeable improvement

If the skin is not responding to topical treatments alone, this is often the next step we recommend.

Why combination treatments deliver the best results

In practice, no single treatment addresses every aspect of body skin concerns.

For example:

• Lanluma X improves volume and contour
• Sunekos Cell targets cellulite
• Sunekos Body refines texture
• Profhilo Body improves hydration and firmness

When combined, these treatments work across different layers of the skin, delivering more complete and longer-lasting results.

We tailor treatment plans based on:

• The severity of the concern
• The area being treated
• How the skin responds over time

How long does it take to see results?

This depends on the treatment and the concern being addressed.

For collagen-stimulating treatments such as Lanluma X:

• Results develop over several weeks
• Improvements continue over time

For skin quality treatments:

• Early changes may be seen within a few weeks
• Best results come with a course of treatments

Consistency is key, particularly for conditions such as cellulite and skin laxity.

FAQ: Body Treatments for Summer Skin

Are these treatments painful?

Most treatments are well tolerated. Some mild discomfort may occur, but this is usually managed with appropriate techniques.

How many sessions will I need?

This varies depending on the treatment and your skin concerns. A course is often recommended for optimal results.

Is there any downtime?

Downtime is generally minimal. Some swelling or tenderness may occur, but it typically settles within a few days.

Can these treatments replace surgery?

They are not a replacement for surgical procedures but can offer significant improvement for patients seeking non-invasive options.

When should I start before summer?

We usually recommend starting treatments a few months in advance to allow time for collagen stimulation and skin regeneration.
