Introduction to Profhilo Structura
Profhilo Structura is an injectable treatment developed for addressing structural ageing of the face. Structural ageing occurs due to specific changes such as loss of skin elasticity and alterations in fat compartments. It works differently from fillers, as it does not simply add bulk but aims to support balance through hybrid technology and natural stimulation of collagen and elastin.
Why Structura Was Developed
Age-related changes often include volume loss in specific facial fat compartments, skin laxity, and a decline in elasticity. Traditional fillers correct certain aspects, but they do not always target the fat compartments where volume reduction occurs. Structura was designed to provide deeper correction without the invasiveness of surgery.
Hybrid Technology Explained
The innovation behind Profhilo Structura is its use of high and low molecular weight hyaluronic acid. The hybrid technology utilizes hyaluronic acid (HA) in both high and low molecular weights for designed for combined effects, supporting advanced facial rejuvenation by improving skin hydration, volume restoration, and tissue support. This hybrid formulation allows immediate hydration and prolonged regenerative activity, making it different from single-molecule injectables.
What is Profhilo Structura?
Profhilo Structura can be described as a deep injectable moisturiser that acts within the fat layers of the face. Its goal is to rebuild support structures, restore balance, and improve both facial volume and skin quality, benefiting both the underlying tissue and skin.
Structura as an Injectable Moisturiser
Unlike creams or serums that act on the surface, Structura works inside the skin. Structura delivers benefits to both the skin and the underlying fat compartments. By being injected into the compartments, it bypasses the barrier of the epidermis and delivers hydration and stimulation directly where it is needed.
Stimulation of Collagen and Elastin
Profhilo Structura encourages natural biological activity. The injection of high and low molecular weight hyaluronic acid activates fibroblasts, which are responsible for collagen and elastin production. This helps to restore firmness over time.
What is Profhilo?
The original Profhilo is a skin booster known for improving hydration, skin laxity, and fine wrinkles.
So what are the main benefits of Profhilo compared to other injectables?
Focus of Original Profhilo
Profhilo targets the outer layers of the skin. It spreads smoothly, improving overall tone, brightness, and elasticity. Unlike Structura, it does not primarily address facial volume loss.
Difference Between Profhilo and Structura
The difference between Profhilo and Structura lies in where they act and what concerns they address.
Depth of Action
-
Profhilo works in the superficial skin layers.
-
Structura is injected into fat compartments, making it suitable for structural changes.
Concentration of Hyaluronic Acid
Structura contains a high concentration of hyaluronic acid, reflecting its specific formulation and making it better suited for restoring lost volume.
What is the Difference Between Them?
In simple terms, Profhilo is for surface rejuvenation while Structura is for deeper facial volume restoration.
How Profhilo Structura Works
Profhilo Structura works through its unique hybrid technology. By combining two molecular weights of hyaluronic acid, it delivers both immediate hydration and long-term stimulation.
Injection Into the Deeper Layers
Structura is injected into the fat compartments of the face, particularly the cheeks and midface, where volume loss is most apparent.
Collagen and Elastin Production
After injection, the hybrid solution promotes collagen and elastin production, which gradually strengthens the framework of the skin.
Areas of the Face Treated with Structura
Profhilo Structura is not applied randomly but rather targeted to specific regions of the face that show the earliest and most visible ageing changes.
Cheeks and Midface
Loss of support in the cheeks often leads to sagging. Structura restores volume in this area to improve facial balance.
Lateral Cheek Treatment
Lateral cheek treatment with Profhilo Structura is a highly sought-after option for those looking to restore facial volume and achieve a more youthful contour. Profhilo Structura is specifically formulated to target the lateral cheek fat compartment, an area prone to volume loss and sagging as we age. By injecting a unique blend of high and low molecular weight hyaluronic acid into the superficial fat layers, the treatment delivers a subtle yet effective lift. This approach not only replenishes lost volume but also stimulates collagen and elastin production, thanks to Profhilo Structura’s advanced hybrid technology. The result is improved skin firmness, enhanced elasticity, and a natural-looking rejuvenation of the cheek area. For anyone seeking to restore facial harmony and definition, lateral cheek treatment with Profhilo Structura is a treatment option that works from within the skin to restore facial structure and support.
Nasolabial Folds
The folds that run from the nose to the mouth deepen with volume loss. Treating this area can soften harsh lines.
Marionette Lines
Lines extending downward from the corners of the mouth are addressed by adding support to surrounding fat pads.
Volume and Lipolifting Effects
The volume and lipolifting effects of Profhilo Structura make it distinct from many injectables.
Restoration of Facial Volume
By replacing lost support, Structura helps to restore fullness where facial volume loss is most visible.
Lipolifting Effect on Contours
The treatment produces a subtle lifting of the skin, leading to a more defined contour. This is not achieved by stretching the skin but by improving the internal support.
Science Behind Profhilo Structura
The scientific foundation of Profhilo Structura lies in its composition and its hybrid approach.
Role of Hyaluronic Acid
Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance in the skin. In Structura, it is presented in both low molecular weight and high molecular weight forms.
Hybrid Technology in Practice
The combination prolongs the presence of hyaluronic acid within tissues, reduces rapid breakdown, and allows gradual improvements.
Composition of Hyaluronic Acid
The unique concentration of hyaluronic acid in Structura is designed to deliver benefits on multiple levels.
High and Low Molecular Weight Hyaluronic Acid
-
Low molecular weight penetrates deeply, activating biological processes.
-
High molecular weight provides stability and hydration at the injection site.
Of High and Low Molecular Forms
Together, these forms create a balance between immediate results and long-term regeneration, making Structura different from conventional fillers.
Suitability of Profhilo Structura
Structura is not intended for everyone. It is most suitable for those with moderate to severe volume loss and visible skin laxity.
Who May Benefit
People experiencing sunken cheeks, sagging folds, or early age-related changes may find Structura appropriate.
Who May Not Be Suitable
Individuals with active skin infections, certain allergies, or medical restrictions should avoid the procedure until cleared by a professional.
Preparation Required Before Treatment
Proper preparation is key to achieving the best results with Profhilo Structura. Before the treatment, patients are advised to avoid blood-thinning medications and supplements, such as aspirin and vitamin E, to reduce the risk of bruising at the injection sites. Arriving with a clean, makeup-free face helps minimize the chance of infection and ensures the skin is ready for the procedure. It is also important to avoid excessive sun exposure or tanning in the days leading up to the treatment, as this can increase skin sensitivity. A thorough consultation with a qualified practitioner is essential to discuss your medical history, any concerns, and your goals for the treatment. By following these simple steps, you can help ensure a smooth experience and optimal results with Profhilo Structura, supporting both the safety and effectiveness of the treatment.

Results typically last several months, depending on individual factors.
After the First Treatment
Many patients notice gradual improvement after the first session, though additional treatments may be required.
Maintenance Sessions
Periodic maintenance is often recommended to preserve outcomes as the natural ageing process continues.
Understanding Facial Ageing and Structura’s Role
Adipose Tissue and Volume Loss
Facial ageing is linked to gradual changes in adipose tissue and fat compartments. Structura helps to restore balance in these areas.
Cheek Fat Compartments
Reduction in the cheek fat compartment is one of the earliest contributors to sagging. Treating this region improves overall appearance.
Collagen and Elastin in Skin Health
Collagen and Elastin Production
Stimulating collagen and elastin production is essential for long-term improvements in skin firmness. Structura achieves this through its hybrid formulation.
Impact on Skin Quality
Over time, this leads to visible improvement in skin quality, elasticity, and hydration.
