Deeper Skin Improvement
Why should I choose Profhilo® Structura?
As skin ages, loss of surface firmness is only half the story, the underlying subcutaneous fat pads that support our cheeks and mid-face also shrink and shift down. Profhilo® Structura is chosen by patients who want to target this deeper structural sagging and lift flattening cheeks without adding the artificial plumpness of traditional dermal fillers.
How does the treatment work?
Profhilo® Structura uses a high concentration of pure hyaluronic acid placed into the subcutaneous fat layer. Instead of filling space, it acts as a cellular signal to reactivate fat cell function, encouraging natural tissue recovery and rebuilding collagen support. This lifts sinking cheeks and restores firm, youthful contouring to the mid-face.
Where on my face can be treated?
Mid-Face & Cheeks: Restoring youthful support to flattened cheekbones and hollow mid-face zones.
Pre-Auricular Area: Firming the skin and tissue directly in front of the ears.
Lower Face & Jowls: Softening nasolabial folds (smile lines) and lifting early jowl sagging along the jawline.

Preparation, Guidelines & Side Effects
Be sure to prepare for your treatment by following any and all advice given by your practitioner
01
Anatomical Assessment & Mapping
Your clinician assesses your mid-face structure, skin mobility, and degree of tissue loss to map out the exact cannula entry points.
02
Localised Numbing
A small dab of local anaesthetic is applied at the entry point to ensure the treatment is comfortable and virtually pain-free.
03
Precise Cannula Delivery
Using a smooth, blunt-tipped micro-cannula, Profhilo® Structura is gently guided beneath the skin into the superficial fat layer to distribute the product evenly.
04
Aftercare & Recovery Guidance
We clean the site, review easy homecare rules, and schedule your mandatory second session 30 days later for full structural results.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q: How is Profhilo® Structura different from standard Profhilo®?
A: Standard Profhilo® is injected into the upper skin layer to improve surface hydration, crepiness, and general elasticity. Profhilo® Structura is placed deeper into the subcutaneous fat layer to specifically lift sagging mid-face tissue and restore lost structural support.
Q: Will Profhilo® Structura make my face look wider or puffy?
A: No. Unlike traditional fillers that add physical volume and fluid, Structura works by bio-remodelling existing tissue. It simply helps your own tissue regain firm, youthful position and support without adding extra volume.
Q: When will I see the full lifting results?
A: You may notice a subtle improvement in firmness within a week, but the real structural repositioning and collagen growth build gradually over 4 to 8 weeks following your second treatment session.
