Profhilo 2.0 - Structura
Restore And Rejuvenate Facial Volume
What is Structura
Profhilo® Structura is an advanced injectable treatment that utilises IBSA’s proprietary NAHYCO® Hybrid Technology. By combining high and low molecular weight hyaluronic acid, Structura effectively restores facial volume and contours without the use of chemical cross-linking, offering a natural and long-lasting enhancement to your appearance.
Benefits of Structura
- Natural Volume Restoration: Structura works to reposition and regenerate fat tissues in the lateral of the face, tackling age-related volume loss, hollows, and skin laxity.
- Long-Lasting Results: Just two sessions, spaced one month apart, provide sustained improvements, allowing you to enjoy a refreshed appearance with minimal maintenance.
- No Downtime: This treatment is perfect for those with busy schedules, as it requires no recovery time, enabling you to resume daily activities immediately.
- Enhanced Skin Quality: Beyond volumising, Structura enhances skin hydration, firmness, and elasticity, leaving your skin looking and feeling rejuvenated.
Suitable Candidate
Profhilo Structura is best suited for individuals typically aged 35 and above who are beginning to experience early signs of aging, such as fat loss, volume depletion, and skin laxity in the lateral areas of the face. This treatment can significantly improve facial structure and provide a natural, youthful lift.
Structura works to reposition and regenerate fat tissues in the lateral areas of the face, addressing age-related volume loss, hollows, and skin laxity. This process restores lost volume and provides a fuller, more youthful appearance.
If you’re experiencing sagging around the jowls or lower face due to the downward movement of fat from the upper to the lower face, Profhilo Structura effectively lifts and repositions these fat tissues, helping to restore a more lifted and contoured look.
Structura Vs Profhilo
- Structura specifically targets the restoration of superficial facial fat, making it ideal for reshaping and rejuvenating facial contours and addressing deeper signs of aging.
- Profhilo acts primarily as an injectable moisturiser and collagen booster, enhancing skin hydration and elasticity.
Science Behind Structura
NAHYCO® Hybrid Technology is the driving force behind the remarkable effectiveness of Profhilo® Structura. This cutting-edge approach combines 45 mg of high-molecular-weight hyaluronic acid (H-HA) with 45 mg of low-molecular-weight hyaluronic acid (L-HA), creating hybrid cooperative complexes. Unlike traditional fillers that rely on chemical cross-linking, Structura’s formulation is designed for seamless integration with your skin’s natural tissue, promoting a smoother and more natural restoration of facial volume.
What makes Structura truly innovative is its ability to integrate into the adipose tissue of superficial fat compartments, directly addressing age-related volume loss and skin laxity. This unique capability leads to adipose tissue restoration, enhancing the structure and support of the face. By targeting these specific areas, Structura minimises the risks associated with traditional fillers, such as uneven distribution and unnatural appearance, while providing a longer-lasting, more natural-looking result.
Clinical Results
Structura has been rigorously tested in clinical trials, with impressive outcomes. A significant 95% of patients reported noticeable improvements in their midface volume and skin quality after just one session, with results lasting up to three months. These studies underscore Structura’s ability to deliver consistent and long-lasting aesthetic enhancements.
In addition, Profhilo Structura represents a significant advancement in aesthetic treatments, with clinical evaluations further supporting its efficacy. Patients consistently report substantial improvements, with visible results that endure for up to four months. These findings highlight Structura’s capability to achieve remarkable and lasting enhancements, reinforcing its reputation as a top choice for facial rejuvenation.
Is Structura a Dermal Filler
Profhilo Structura is not a traditional dermal filler. While it shares some similarities, it’s in a category of its own.
What Sets Profhilo Structura Apart:
Not a Traditional Filler: Unlike conventional dermal fillers that add volume to specific areas, Profhilo Structura works by stimulating your skin’s natural collagen and elastin production. It’s designed to improve overall skin quality, offering a more youthful, lifted appearance.
Hydration and Tightening: Profhilo Structura contains high concentrations of hyaluronic acid, but instead of simply filling wrinkles, it deeply hydrates and remodels the skin. This results in firmer, tighter skin with improved texture and tone.
Subtle, Natural Results: The treatment doesn’t change your facial structure or add excessive volume. Instead, it enhances your skin’s natural beauty by restoring lost hydration and elasticity.
Profhilo Structura offers a unique approach to facial rejuvenation, providing natural, long-lasting results without the characteristics of traditional fillers.
Experience & Protocol
What to Expect: Structura is administered over two sessions, typically spaced one month apart. The procedure is quick, with minimal discomfort, and focuses on key areas like the lateral face. The injection technique is designed to optimize the restoration of facial structure, enhancing midface projection and reducing hollows.
Profhilo Structura is designed to target specific areas of the face, particularly the preauricular (in front of the ear) and zygomatic (cheekbone) regions. These areas are crucial for maintaining facial structure and support. After treatment, you can expect noticeable improvements in the firmness and tone of your skin, as well as a lateral tightening effect that lifts and rejuvenates your overall appearance.
As we age, the fat compartments in our face, especially in areas like the preauricular region, tend to lose volume, leading to sagging and a less defined facial structure. Profhilo Structura works by restoring the structure and homeostasis of these fat compartments, increasing tissue thickness, and improving the support of the interstitial space. This process, known as adipose tissue restoration, helps to reverse age-related volume loss, giving your face a fuller, more youthful look.
Profhilo Structura doesn’t just fill in wrinkles; it enhances the overall quality of your skin. By promoting the health and function of adipocytes (fat cells) and increasing tissue thickness, the treatment helps to achieve a solid, well-defined facial structure. The tightening effect is particularly effective in the superficial lateral-temporal cheek fat compartments—areas that are among the first to show signs of aging. This results in a natural-looking lift and a smoother, firmer skin texture.
With Profhilo Structura, the results are not only immediate but also long-lasting. The treatment’s ability to restore facial structure and improve skin quality ensures that you will enjoy a more youthful and refreshed appearance for months after the procedure.
Combining Structura
Complementary Treatments: For a comprehensive facial rejuvenation strategy, Structura can be effectively combined with other treatments like Profhilo. This combination allows you to maximise both hydration and volume restoration, providing a well-rounded approach to your aesthetic goals.
Custom Treatment Plans: Every face is unique, and so is our approach. We recommend consulting with our experts to tailor a treatment plan that might include Structura alongside other advanced options like BTA, dermal fillers, or laser treatments.
Safety & Side Effects
Structura has a strong safety profile, developed under strict European standards. Common side effects are mild, such as minor swelling or bruising at the injection site, which typically resolves quickly. Compared to other fillers, Structura offers a smoother, more natural result with fewer complications.
