Profhilo Structura: A Next-Generation Treatment
Profhilo Structura is a groundbreaking addition to the Profhilo product line, offering advanced skin remodelling and anti-aging benefits. As a sister product to the original Profhilo®, this injectable treatment is designed to go beyond traditional dermal fillers and skin boosters, addressing multiple signs of aging.
Profhilo Structura is the first injectable treatment specifically formulated to regenerate superficial facial fat. Its unique approach targets the superficial fat layers, which often diminish with age, helping restore volume and redefine natural facial contours.
This treatment is ideal for clients looking to address common age-related concerns, including pronounced facial hollows, skin laxity (loose, crepey skin), and changes in facial contours caused by midface fat loss. Profhilo Structura works to rejuvenate and restore a youthful, well-defined appearance.
What is the difference between normal Profhilo and Structura?
Profhilo and Profhilo Structura are both hyaluronic acid-based treatments, but they have key differences in their formulations and purposes:
Original Profhilo:
Purpose: Primarily used for skin hydration and rejuvenation. It is known for improving skin tone, texture, and elasticity.
Composition: Contains a high concentration of hyaluronic acid (HA) in a unique formulation. It is made of two different molecular weights of hyaluronic acid, which allows for deep skin hydration and remodeling.
Action: Profhilo is injected into the skin to stimulate collagen and elastin production, helping to rejuvenate the skin and restore a youthful appearance.
Treatment areas: It's typically used on the face, neck, hands, and décolletage.
Profhilo Structura:
Purpose: Profhilo Structura is designed for more advanced skin remodeling and offers added volume to the skin. It is used to address deeper skin concerns such as sagging or loss of volume.
Composition: It contains a different formulation of hyaluronic acid, with added bio-remodeling properties. This version has a more structured gel that works not just for hydration but for creating lift and more pronounced volume in specific areas.
Action: Profhilo Structura is meant to deliver more significant skin tightening and contouring effects. It’s used for facial areas with more advanced volume loss, such as the cheeks, jawline, and chin.
Treatment areas: It is commonly used in the lower face and jawline areas to restore structure and volume.
Key Differences:
Purpose: Original Profhilo focuses more on hydration, while Profhilo Structura is designed for deeper tissue remodeling, skin tightening, and volume restoration.
Viscosity: Profhilo Structura has a more structured, denser gel compared to the original Profhilo, which is more fluid.
Treatment Areas: The original Profhilo is ideal for general skin rejuvenation and hydration across larger areas, while Structura targets areas with volume loss or sagging, providing more localized and targeted effects.
In summary, Profhilo is more for general skin quality improvement, while Profhilo Structura is aimed at restoring structure and volume in areas of the face with more significant signs of aging.
-
Profhilo Structura is injected into the subcutaneous layer of the skin to facilitate deeper structural remodelling and to regenerate and reposition superficial fat pads. By restoring facial fat, it addresses ageing concerns associated with volume loss. Over time, the face looks more lifted, contoured, and rejuvenated.

Treatment consists of 2 courses of Profhilo 4 weeks apart.
