FAQs Profhilo Structura

Profhilo is an ultra-pure hyaluronic acid “bioremodeller” placed in the superficial layers of your skin to boost hydration, elasticity and overall skin quality without adding volume. Profhilo Structura builds on this by working a little deeper – in superficial fat/structural planes such as the mid-face, temples and jawline – to provide subtle tissue support and contour refinement, while still improving skin quality. In short: choose Profhilo if your goal is glow, bounce and crepey-skin improvement; choose Structura if you want those benefits plus a quiet lift/definition in areas of early deflation, without the bulk of traditional filler. Many patients benefit from a tailored combination of both; your practitioner will advise on the right product, placement and schedule for your anatomy and goals.

Profhilo Structura is best suited to those noticing early deflation or laxity in areas like the mid-face, temples or jawline – who want a subtle lift and improved skin quality without the bulk of traditional filler. It works well for thin or crepey skin, mild hollowing/flattening and loss of definition where supporting the tissue framework is the goal. It’s appropriate across most skin types and tones and can be combined with skincare, lasers or classic Profhilo for a comprehensive plan. It is not a substitute for surgical lifting or large-volume augmentation, and isn’t suitable if you have active skin infection/inflammation in the area, are pregnant/breastfeeding, or have certain medical contraindications. Your practitioner will assess this at consultation and tailor timing, product choice and placement to your anatomy and goals.

Profhilo Structura targets the structural signs of early ageing – think mid-face deflation, temple hollowing, and softening jawline/early jowls – while also upgrading overall skin quality. By supporting superficial fat compartments and stimulating collagen/elastin, it helps restore gentle contour and definition, improve elasticity, and reduce the look of crepey texture and fine dehydration lines on the face (and suitable neck/jawline areas). It’s ideal when you want a subtle lift and firmer feel without the added bulk of traditional filler.

Most patients start with a course of two sessions spaced ~4 weeks apart, with results building over the following 4-8 weeks as collagen and elastin remodel. Depending on your degree of laxity/deflation and skin thickness, your practitioner may recommend a third session to optimise support. We typically review at 8-12 weeks to assess response and plan maintenance every 4-6 months (some patients can stretch to 6–9 months.) Your exact schedule is tailored to your anatomy, goals and any complementary treatments (e.g., classic Profhilo, skincare, lasers) in your plan.

Downtime is typically minimal with Profhilo Structura. You may see pin-point redness, tenderness, mild swelling or a small bruise at entry sites for 24-72 hours (occasional bruising can last up to a week.) Because Structura is placed a little deeper than classic Profhilo, there are usually fewer visible “bumps” on the surface. Most people return to normal activities the same day or next day. We advise no strenuous exercise, saunas/steam, or alcohol for 24–48 hours, avoid heavy pressure/facial massage on the area, keep the skin clean, and pause makeup for 12–24 hours. Use SPF diligently and follow any tailored aftercare your clinician provides.
