Question 1

What is Profhilo Structura?

Accepted Answer

Profhilo Structura is the latest innovation from the makers of Profhilo. Rather than working in the surface layers of the skin like original Profhilo, it's designed to target a different layer: the subcutaneous fat. By supporting and regenerating the fat pads that give the face its shape, it helps restore lost structure and definition for a naturally lifted, refreshed look.

Question 2

How does it work?

Accepted Answer

Profhilo Structura uses a high concentration of hybrid hyaluronic acid which stimulates collagen, elastin and adipose tissue regeneration, so your skin continues to improve in tone, elasticity and structure over the following weeks. It restores support from beneath the skin without the heavy or overfilled look of traditional filler.

Question 3

Who is it suitable for?

Accepted Answer

Structura is ideal if you've noticed your face losing shape or support with age. It's particularly effective for mid-face deflation, or changes along the jawline, as well as early sagging in the lower face.

Question 4

What does the treatment involve?

Accepted Answer

Structura is delivered using a fine cannula through a single entry point on each side of the face, allowing precise placement with less risk of bruising than multiple needle injections. Numbing cream can be applied beforehand, and the treatment itself usually takes around 30 minutes.

Question 5

How many sessions will I need?

Accepted Answer

Treatment initially involves two sessions, 4 weeks apart, followed by maintenance appointments where needed. Arti will confirm your personalised plan at consultation.

Question 6

When will I see results?

Accepted Answer

Some improvement can be seen early on, with results continuing to build as the tissue regenerates. Subtle changes in volume and firmness often appear within two to three weeks of your first treatment, with optimal results visible around four months after the first session.

Question 7

How long do results last?

Accepted Answer

Maintenance is typically recommended every six months

Question 8

Is there any downtime?

Accepted Answer

Downtime is minimal and most people return to normal activities straight away. You may notice some firmness or a slight ridge immediately after treatment, which smooths quickly as the product settles, along with mild redness, swelling or bruising that typically resolves within a few days.

Question 9

What's the difference between Profhilo and Profhilo Structura?

Accepted Answer

Original Profhilo works within the skin to improve hydration, texture, radiance and mild laxity, while Structura is placed deeper to restore the support and contours beneath. The two can be combined for a complete approach that improves both the quality of your skin and its underlying structure.

Question 10

Is Profhilo Structura a filler?

Accepted Answer

No. While it can restore a sense of volume and definition, it works by regenerating your own tissues rather than simply filling an area, giving a softer, more natural result.
