From skin quality to structural support
Profhilo® is primarily associated with improving the dermis — hydration, elasticity and overall skin behaviour.
Profhilo® Structura extends this concept further.
While using a similar hyaluronic acid foundation, it is designed to interact with deeper tissue layers associated with fat compartment ageing, rather than the skin alone. This reflects an important shift. Ageing is not only about thinning skin. It is also about changes in underlying support.
Understanding fat compartment change
Over time, facial fat pads do not simply reduce in volume. They can also:
• shift position
• lose structural integrity
• contribute to hollowing or loss of contour
These changes affect how the face reflects light and how features relate to one another. Treatments that focus only on the surface may not fully address this.
A different approach to “structure”
It is important to distinguish between structural support and volumisation. Traditional fillers replace volume directly by occupying space. Profhilo® Structura, by contrast, is designed to support the biological environment of the tissue, encouraging more subtle improvements in firmness and contour without creating projection. This allows for:
• gradual refinement
• preservation of natural contours
• avoidance of over-correction
Layered treatment, not single solutions
One of the key developments in contemporary aesthetic practice is the move away from single-treatment solutions. Instead, treatments are selected based on the layer they influence:
• skin quality
• structural support
• movement
• surface texture
Profhilo® and Profhilo® Structura sit within this framework as complementary options, addressing different aspects of the ageing process.
Subtlety through integration
When treatments are layered appropriately, the outcome is rarely dramatic. Instead, it appears as:
• improved skin quality
• better support through key areas
• more balanced facial proportions
Often, the result is described simply as looking more rested or more consistent.
