The FABULOUS Profhilo Structura

What is Structura? 

Firstly, it is rapidly becoming one of my most popular treatments! Here’s why:

It’s the first treatment specifically formulated for adipose tissue (fat) restoration in response to ageing.

PROFHILO® STRUCTURA redefines facial structure and support addressing age related fat compartments atrophy. It is an advanced skin treatment that focuses on hydrating, tightening, and improving the overall quality of the skin. It is part of the Profhilo line of products, known for their high concentration of hyaluronic acid (HA), which helps in bio-remodeling and rejuvenation of the skin.

Facial Anatomy and the Ageing Process

As we age, gravity causes fat in the face to shift downwards. This movement can lead to the skin sagging, especially around the cheeks. As a result, you may notice deeper hollows in the cheeks and a loss of definition in the face. The fat volume decreases in the middle and sides of the cheeks, which can make the face appear less full.

Aging is a result of changes that happen in several layers of the face, including the bones, ligaments, muscles, fat, and skin. These changes occur at different rates for each person and can begin at various ages.

One of the key factors in facial aging is the way the fat beneath the skin changes over time, which contributes to the typical signs of ageing we see on the surface.

Two Ageing Profiles:

Type 1:

• This profile is characterised by a sunken appearance, especially in the cheeks. People often experience a decrease in fat in the lateral cheek area.

Type 2:

• This profile features drooping tissues and fat bulges. It can look like the facial tissues are sliding away from the bones underneath, and the connective tissues lose their firmness.

These changes highlight how ageing affects our facial structure over time.

Treatment Information 

Profhilo Structura targets this area to combat these signs of ageing. The treatment involves two sessions, typically one month apart, with minimal downtime, allowing patients to continue their daily activities immediately post-treatment. Maintenance treatment recommended around every 6 months. 

Clinical trials of Profhilo® Structura have shown impressive outcomes. 95% of patients noticed lasting enhancements in the mid-face area after the first treatment, with this improvement sustained three months later.

In Clinic treatments are mirroring the effect of the clinical trials. It’s quickly becoming a client favourite, noticing the difference after just one treatment but fantastic results after the 2 initial recommended!
