Profhilo Structura
Structural support from within
What is Profhilo Structura?
Profhilo Structura is the next evolution in the Profhilo range — the first injectable treatment developed specifically to regenerate and restore the superficial fat layers of the face. As we age, these fat pads shrink and descend, resulting in hollowness, sagging skin, and altered facial contours.
Rather than adding volume artificially as a traditional filler would, Profhilo Structura stimulates the fat cells to behave more youthfully, triggering their natural regeneration and restoring the structural foundation the skin relies on for support.
The result is a natural-looking lift with improved firmness and hydration — not a reshaped face, but your face, restored.
How it differs from standard Profhilo
Original Profhilo works in the dermis, primarily delivering deep hydration and skin quality improvements. Structura works in the superficial fat layer beneath — addressing volume loss and structural support that hydration alone cannot restore.
How it differs from dermal fillers
Dermal fillers add physical volume by filling space. Profhilo Structura works biologically — stimulating collagen, elastin, and fat cell regeneration. The outcome is inherently more natural because the improvement comes from your own tissue responding, not from a foreign substance occupying volume.
The science behind it
Profhilo Structura uses NAHYCO Hybrid Technology — a thermal process that bonds high and low molecular weight hyaluronic acid without chemical cross-linking. This produces a purer, more biocompatible product that spreads and integrates seamlessly into tissue once injected.
What to expect
Profhilo Structura is a straightforward clinical procedure with no significant recovery time. Most clients return to normal activities the same day.
Consultation
A thorough assessment of your facial anatomy, skin laxity, and areas of volume loss to determine whether Profhilo Structura is the right treatment and design your injection plan.
Preparation
A topical numbing cream is applied before treatment begins. The procedure is performed using a fine microcannula, which minimises discomfort and reduces the likelihood of bruising.
Treatment
The product is injected at precise anatomical points in the mid-face and areas of concern. The session typically takes 20–30 minutes. Two sessions are recommended, spaced four weeks apart.
Results
Initial improvements in skin quality are often visible within days. Full lifting and firming effects develop over 4–6 weeks as collagen and elastin production increases and fat cell regeneration takes effect.
What Profhilo Structura addresses
Volume Restoration
Directly targets midface volume loss — the hollowing of the cheeks and under-eye area that traditional skin boosters cannot adequately address.
Skin tightening and lift
Stimulates collagen and elastin production within the tissue, improving skin tone, firmness, and delivering a subtle but measurable lifting effect.
Natural facial contour
Restores the structural support that gives the face its natural shape — reducing jowling, improving jaw definition, and smoothing nose-to-mouth lines.
Deep hydration
Retains all the skin-boosting hydration properties of the original Profhilo treatment, leaving skin looking smoother, more radiant, and better conditioned.
No downtime
A minimally invasive procedure with no significant recovery period. Minor redness or swelling at injection sites typically resolves within 24–48 hours.
Natural-looking outcome
Because results are generated by your own tissue responding to the treatment, the improvement looks entirely natural — not augmented or overdone.
Profhilo Structura may be appropriate if you are experiencing:
- Hollowness or sunken appearance in the cheeks or mid-face
- Early jowling or loss of jawline definition
- Facial sagging or skin laxity
- Flattening of the mid-face over time
- Pronounced nose-to-mouth or marionette lines
- Volume changes associated with perimenopause or menopause
- Volume loss following weight loss, including medically-assisted programmes
- Desire for improvement without the appearance of filler
Common questions about Profhilo Structura
How many sessions will I need?
The standard protocol is two sessions spaced four weeks apart. Maintenance treatments can be carried out periodically thereafter to sustain results, with the frequency depending on your individual response to the treatment.
When will I see results?
Some improvement in skin texture and hydration is often noticeable within a few days of the first treatment. The full structural benefit — lifting, firming, and volume restoration — typically develops over four to six weeks as the biological response progresses.
Is it painful?
The treatment is generally well tolerated. A topical numbing cream is applied beforehand, and the use of a microcannula rather than a needle reduces discomfort and bruising risk significantly compared to conventional injection techniques.
Can I combine it with other treatments?
Yes. Profhilo Structura is often used alongside the original Profhilo treatment for a comprehensive approach — Structura addressing structural support and volume while standard Profhilo maintains skin quality and hydration. It is also compatible with anti-wrinkle injections and many other aesthetic treatments.
Is Profhilo Structura the same as a filler?
No. Traditional dermal fillers physically occupy space to add volume. Profhilo Structura works by stimulating your own tissue — collagen, elastin, and fat cells — to regenerate and reposition. The mechanism and the outcome are fundamentally different.
Who is not suitable for this treatment?
Profhilo Structura is not suitable during pregnancy or breastfeeding, or for those with certain autoimmune conditions or active skin infections in the treatment area. A full medical consultation is carried out prior to treatment to confirm suitability.
How long do results last?
Results vary between individuals depending on age, skin condition, and lifestyle factors. Most clients find effects last six to twelve months, with some continuing to see improvement beyond this as the bio-stimulation effect continues.
What is the recovery time?
There is no significant downtime. Mild redness, swelling, or tenderness at the injection sites may occur but typically resolves within 24 to 48 hours. Most clients return to normal activities on the same day.
