What is profhilo structura?
Structura is a regenerative injectable treatment that lifts and rejuvenates the facial profile by targeting superficial fat layers, combatting tissue descent. It effectively enhances natural contours using advanced hyaluronic acid technology, bridging the gap between injectable moisturisers and dermal fillers. Recognised as the first product to stimulate essential adipose fat cell receptors, it restores volume and preserves a completely natural appearance.
How does Profhilo Structura work?
Profhilo Structura is uniquely formulated to work harmoniously with superficial fat tissue. Developed using patented technology, stabilising distinct complex of 45mg high and 45mg low molecular-weight hyaluronic acid, totalling 90mg hyaluronic acid compared to 64mg in Profhilo.
The thermal stabilisation process removes the need for the chemical cross-linkers that are commonly required in other hyaluronic acid formulations and fillers, ensuring a purer more natural product.
Upon injection, Profhilo Structura activates essential adipose fat cell receptors, subtly and safely, promoting cellular vitality. This reactivation enables fat cells to function at their best, enhancing their ability to support facial structures. By working in harmony with these fat cells, this treatment effectively counteracts the natural flattening and laxity that occurs over time, restoring facial contours.
By stimulating natural fat regeneration, Profhilo Structura has the potential to delay or even eliminate the need for traditional fillers with some patients, empowering them to explore more natural approaches to facial rejuvenation.
FAQs
-
- Loss of Volume: Superficial fat pads shrink, leading to a loss of facial fullness and volume.
- Flattened Facial Contours: Reduced fat volume results in less defined facial contours, making the face appear fatter.
- Deeper Wrinkles: The loss of fat exacerbates the appearance of wrinkles and folds, such as nasolabial folds and marionette lines.
- Skin Laxity: With less fat to support it, the skin loses its firmness and elasticity.

Structura is beneficial for individuals looking to enhance their appearance subtly, correct minor imperfections, and achieve a naturally refreshed look without making radical changes.
Structura is particularly beneficial for individuals experiencing a loss of subcutaneous fat in the midface. This decline can result in noticeable changes, such as reduced volume, tissue laxity, and flattening of facial contours.

Profhilo and profhilo structura offer distinct properties and benefits. Profhilo is injected into the dermis, where it is clinically proven to restore tissue without adding volume. It activates dormant fibroblast tissue to regenerate collagen and elastin, visibly improving skin firmness, texture, and hydration.
Profhilo structura is designed for deeper structural remodelling and is injected into the subcutaneous layers. It is clinically proven to reposition and regenerate the dynamic superficial fat pads located beneath the skin and connective tissue, above the muscle and deep fat layers. Its advanced compatibility with fat cells helps counteract the natural flattening of facial angles and tissue descent over time, resulting in a more lifted, contoured, and rejuvenated facial profile. Both treatments provide unique benefits tailored to different skin concerns and treatment areas, ensuring a comprehensive approach to skin rejuvenation.

Profhilo structura represents a unique category of advanced injectable treatments that specifically
target and restore facial fat for natural, restorative and regenerative solution. Unlike dermal fillers that offer mechanical lifting and volumizing effects, profhilo structura adopts a restorative approach that the body recognises, controlling inflammation and providing subtle repositioning.
Unlike skin boosters, which are injected into the upper layers of the skin to enhance radiance with less concentrated hyaluronic acid. Profhilo structura specifically targets the midface superficial fat. This tissue layer requires a treatment that is both biocompatible and bioavailable with its unique cellular function and ageing process.

The treatment process begins with two sessions scheduled 30 days apart, followed by maintenance appointments as needed. You can expect the results to last approximately four months.
Once you’ve completed the initial two treatments as recommended, you can expect a follow-up session for maintenance about five months after your first treatment.
-
The treatment utilises a cannula for precise placement of Structura in targeted areas. This technique ensures even distribution through a just one single entry point on each side of the face.
