Profhilo Structura

Much like the original Profhilo treatment, Profhilo Structura utilises synthetic hyaluronic acid (HA), a component naturally found in our bodies and skin. This advanced treatment uses 45mg of high molecular weight HA alongside 45mg of low molecular weight HA which has gone through a thermal stabilisation process.  

This thermal process takes away the need for the chemical cross-linking that is often required in hyaluronic acid-based treatments; this means that the HA used is a more natural, purer product.  It also gives Profhilo Structura its unique ability to spread and seamlessly integrate into tissues. 

Fat Pad Remodeling

The Profhilo Structura treatment is clinically proven to restore superficial fat to its original position, offering a very natural-looking, subtle lifting of the treated tissues. 

Once injected via a cannular, Profhilo Structura activates the fat cells to behave more youthfully, triggering their natural regeneration and therefore improving the integrity of your fat pads and their ability to support the skin without the risk of looking ‘over done’.  

Why are facial fat pads so important when it comes to looking rejuvenated and refreshed? As we age, our fat pads in the face shrink and descend, leading to volume loss, sagging skin, the appearance of cheek hollowness, and the formation of jowls.  

Profhilo Structura targets these deeper layers to stimulate regeneration and improve their function, helping to prevent and improve early signs of this happening, whilst maintaining a completely natural look. 

Skin Rejuvenation

Thanks to its ability to integrate into tissues, Profhilo Structura boosts the production of elastin and collagen type I and III in your skin, in addition to regenerating your fat cells. This helps to improve both the firmness and elasticity of your skin. The treatment also enhances keratinocyte activity in your skin. Keratinocytes are a protein that helps to protect your skin. Enhancing their activity means that your skin barrier functions better so that your skin is stronger and in better health.  

Skin Hydration

The hyaluronic acid in Profhilo Structura has extraordinary ability to retain water. The HA molecules attract and bind water, boosting hydration in the skin. Delivering hydration directly to your skin and surrounding tissue with this treatment supports the regeneration of both your fat pads and skin, whilst giving the tissue the healthy, plump skin associated with youth.  

Profhilo Structura is specifically designed to remodel your deep facial-tissue structures, such as your facial fat pads. It is a good standalone therapy for those requiring deeper firmness and for those who do not want or require dermal filler to replace volume lost from ageing fat pads.  

Like most medical-aesthetic therapies, the Profhilo Structura results are especially good when combined with other skin treatments such as its predecessor, Profhilo, to address more superficial signs of skin ageing, giving you a superior overall outcome. 

Profhilo Structura may be a good treatment option for you if: 

• You’d like to improve signs of facial ageing without drastically changing your appearance. 

• You’re experiencing hollowness or sunken cheeks and want to help restore a lifted, natural contour. 

• You’re noticing early jowling and you’d like to restore structure to your jawline. 

• You feel that you’ve lost facial volume; perhaps your cheeks have lost some of their definition or your mid-face is starting to look flatter. 

• Skin sagging is starting to become apparent.  

• You are noticing moderate wrinkles, particularly nose-to-mouth lines and marionette lines. 

• You would like to boost skin hydration. 

• You’re noticing skin changes because of the perimenopause and menopause. Women experience accelerated signs of ageing at this stage due to hormonal changes and can often benefit from deeper tissue remodeling, should they wish.  

• You are considering preventative skin treatments. Those in their late 30s and early 40s may use Profhilo Structura to help them maintain their facial structure and skin integrity and help to delay more advanced signs of ageing.  

Price: £665 for the full, two-session treatment.

Which Is Better Profhilo Vs Profhilo Structura?

You may be wondering, what exactly is the difference between the original Profhilo and Profhilo Structura, so let’s clarify. Both treatments use thermally-stablised hyaluronic acid (HA) to improve your skin’s quality and firmness, but they differ in their approach, depth of action, and the specific concerns they target. 

Profhilo: 

• Focus is improving surface level skin quality. 

• The treatment zone is the skin’s dermis, targeted using a needle. 

• Concentration of hyaluronic acid: 64mg in 2ml. 

• Ideal for individuals looking to improve skin texture, tone, and elasticity. It addresses fine lines and wrinkles, improves overall skin hydration, and gives the skin a more youthful, glowing appearance without adding volume or altering facial contours. 

• 2 treatment sessions, approximately 1 month apart. 

• Results last up to 6 months.  

Profhilo Structura: 

• Focus is on improving the deeper layers of the face, specifically regenerating the fat pads. 

• The treatment zone is the adipose tissue (fat), targeted using a cannular. 

• Concentration of hyaluronic acid: 90mg in 2ml. 

• Ideal for those wanting to tackle deeper volume loss, providing a subtle, natural lift and helping to subtly restore youthful contours. Profhilo Structura is better suited for those who are starting to experience more advanced signs of ageing, including volume loss and early skin sagging.  

• 2 treatment sessions, approximately 1 month apart. 

• Results last up to 4 months.

What Are The Profhilo Structura Side Effects?

The most common possible side effects are similar to the original Profhilo’s possible side effects: bruising, swelling, tenderness maybe a little redness in case of sensitive skin. A full consenting process will make you aware of all known possible side effects. As with any injectable treatment, we highly recommend that you seek treatment from a trained and experienced medical practitioner who specialises in medical-aesthetics to ensure that you are being treated in a hygienic, safe environment to lower some of the risks associated with injectable treatments.  

What Is Profhilo Structura?

Profhilo Structura is the latest evolution of the Profhilo range, specifically designed to address deeper tissue structures, including the remodeling of fat pads. It is an injectable, hyaluronic-acid based treatment that can be had as a standalone therapy or in combination with other skin treatments to address additional skin care needs. 

Here’s brief guide on how it works: 

Deep Tissue Remodeling: The original Profhilo treatment targets more superficial skin concerns such as wrinkles, dehydration, and crepiness. Profhilo’s main function is to improve skin hydration and collagen stimulation in the skin. On the other hand, Profhilo Structura is injected deeper into the subcutaneous facial fat pads to regenerate and subtly lift them.  

These fat pads play a vital role in maintaining youthful facial contours, such as naturally defined cheeks, as they support the structure of the skin from beneath. Our fat pads shrink and drop over time which leads to sagging, jowls and mid-face volume loss. 

Skin remodeling: In addition to fat pad regeneration, Profhilo Structura promotes the production of elastin and collagen. This offers support to the skin overlying the treated fat pads. Targeting the skin is not the primary function of Structura; if you require treatment of the more superficial layers of the skin then the original Profhilo treatment (or alternative) may be considered as well, or instead of Profhilo Structura.
