Profhilo Structura v Profhilo

Updated: Apr 20

Discover Profhilo Structura, the 'big sister' to the world-famous Profhilo treatment, now available at our clinics in Dublin, Galway, and Belfast.

True facial rejuvenation depends on more than just skin quality; it relies on the 'scaffolding'—the muscle, bone, and adipose (fat) tissue—underneath. When this foundation begins to shift, Profhilo Structura steps in to restore lost volume and provide a natural lift exactly where you need it most.



Losing Facial Volume? Here is Why Profhilo Structura is the Answer

As we age, it isn't just our skin that changes—it's the muscle and fat underneath (our "scaffolding") that starts to let us down.

When this foundation shifts, we see sagging jowls and hollow cheeks.

Enter Profhilo Structura - a structural powerhouse which targets deep volume loss to provide a natural lift and tightening effect.

  • Restore your structure.

  • Refine your jawline.

  • Reclaim your confidence.



Profhilo vs. Profhilo Structura:

While both treatments use ultra-pure Hyaluronic Acid, they are designed to do two very different jobs.

Think of it like a house: Profhilo is the fresh coat of paint on the walls, while Profhilo Structura is the timber frame holding the house up.


1. Profhilo: The "Injectable Moisturiser"

  • What it does: Think of this as the ultimate skin booster. it floods the skin with hydration and triggers collagen and elastin production.

  • Target: The surface and middle layers of your skin.

  • Best for: Fine lines, "crepey" skin, and achieving that famous 24/7 glow.

  • How it's done: 5 tiny injection points on each side of the face (the BAP technique).


2. Profhilo Structura: The "Lipo-Lifter"

  • What it does: This is "the big sister" designed for lift and firmness. It specifically regenerates the superficial fat layers that shift and thin as we age.

  • Target: The deep "scaffolding" (fat and tissue) under your skin.

  • Best for: Sagging jowls, hollow cheeks, and "sinking" facial features. It provides a lift without looking like "fake" filler.

  • How it's done: Administered via a blunt-tipped cannula to reach the deeper fat compartments safely and effectively.

The Results:
