Profhilo Structura is an injectable treatment that aims to restore facial fat and improve structural support.
Profhilo Structura Treatment
Profhilo Structura is suitable for men and women age 30 and above. Initially two treatments are required four weeks apart, then one treatment every six months to maintain results.
Profhilo Structura is one of the first injectable treatments to treat skin laxity through the process of fat tissue restoration.
Treatment
Profhilo Structura is injected in the upper cheek region using a cannula. It works by targeting the deep layer of the dermis unlike other hyaluronic acid skin boosters that improve hydration in the skin's upper layers. Profhilo Structura's combination of high and low molecular weight hyaluronic acid allows for both immediate hydration and long-term structural improvements.
Areas suitable for treatment
Profhilo Structura is solely indicated to rejuvenate the mid face, targeting cheek hollowing and indirectly improving skin laxity in the lower face.

Profhilo Structura is a combination of high and low molecular weight hyaluronic acid designed to regenerate and reposition the fat layers of the face. Unlike traditional dermal fillers which artificially replace volume, Profhilo Structura works with the body’s natural processes to regenerate superficial fat layers.
The ideal candidates for Profhilo Structura are individuals experiencing signs of ageing such as skin laxity and facial hollowing. It is particularly beneficial for those seeking a more youthful appearance without the volume added by traditional fillers.
Some people notice a tightening effect immediately after treatment, however optimum results will be at around two months after the second syringe.
You might feel a slight sting when the cannula is inserted, but this is typically mild and brief. The procedure is relatively quick, making it a comfortable experience for most patients.
Profhilo works by stimulating collagen and elastin to improve skin quality, whereas Profhilo Structura targets the deeper fat layers to restore volume loss. Profhilo is administered using a needle in the face, neck or décolletage, whereas Structura is approved solely for administration in the face using a cannula.
No, Profhilo Structura does not affect facial movement. It targets the deep fat layer rather than the muscles, meaning your facial expressions will remain natural and unaffected.
During the initial consultation, all potential side effects of Profhilo Structura are thoroughly discussed. The most common side effects occur at the injection sites and may include redness, swelling, tenderness, and bruising. Immediately after treatment, you might notice small bumps under the skin, these usually subside within 6 hours, although in some cases, they can persist for up to 24 hours.
Profhilo Structura is not approved for use in pregnancy or when breastfeeding. Additionally, it is unsuitable for those with a known allergy to hyaluronic acid or those who have a skin infection at the intended injection site. It is essential to disclose your full medical history during the consultation to ensure Profhilo Structura is a safe option for you.
After receiving Profhilo Structura treatment, no recovery time is needed, and you can resume daily activities immediately. However, to ensure the best results and minimise the risk of complications, there are several precautions to follow:
- Avoid applying makeup for 12 hours after treatment.
- Refrain from engaging in strenuous exercise for 24 hours.
- Do not swim for 48 hours post-treatment.
- Avoid further cosmetic procedures for at least two days.
- Stay away from extreme temperatures, such as saunas and steam rooms, for at least 7 days.
Following these guidelines helps ensure the treatment area remains clean and undisturbed, promoting optimal results.
Profhilo Structura is not a direct replacement for Botox, Profhilo or dermal fillers as each addresses different skin concerns. Botox relaxes muscles to reduce wrinkles, while fillers add volume. Profhilo improves skin hydration and elasticity. Profhilo Structura works well alone for natural volume restoration or alongside other treatments for more comprehensive anti-aging results.

One of the advantages of Profhilo Structura is its minimal downtime. Patients can expect slight swelling at the injection site which typically resolves within 24 to 48 hours. The non-invasive nature of the treatment allows individuals to return to their daily activities shortly after the procedure, making it a convenient option for those with busy lifestyles.
The results of Profhilo Structura treatments are typically long-lasting, with effects visible for up to six months. Most patients will notice skin tightening within a few weeks, with optimal results observed after three months. To maintain the best results, it is recommended to undergo repeat treatment every six months.
