Profhilo Structura before & after

Frequently asked questions about profhilo structura

 

  • Profhilo Structure is pure hyaluronic acid, and it is designed to be injected into the superficial fat pads of the face to offer subtle lifting and tightening effects that help to improve laxity seen in the lower cheek and jowl area.

    Profhilo Structura is an advanced version of the traditional Profhilo treatment, specifically designed for more targeted and structural improvements. It not only hydrates and firms, but also addresses more pronounced signs of aging and volume loss.

  • Enhanced Lifting: Provides a more significant lifting effect, ideal for areas with noticeable sagging.

    Volume Restoration: Adds volume to areas that have experienced volume loss, such as cheeks and jawline.

    Deep Hydration and Firmness: Maintains the deep hydrating properties of Profhilo while offering more structural support.

    Precision: Allows for more precise treatment of specific areas needing more intensive care.

  • Rather than working its magic on the skin (although it does that too) Profhilo Structura regenerates superficial fat pads of the face. It's these fat pads that give our face support and structure in our younger years, but as we age, they shrink and migrate South, creating 'sagging' in the lower face. Structura is placed into the superficial fat pads to create lift and contour to the lower face.

    The clinical studies conclude that 96% of patients felt an improvement after the first treatment, and this positive judgement was maintained three months after the first treatment.

    A persistent improvement was clearly visible in the mid face (cheeks) and lower third (jawline and down-turned corners of the mouth).

    The treatment was well tolerated, and no adverse reaction were reported.

  • Treatment time is just minutes. The treatment is generally well tolerated and most stated that it was not painful and that some pressure was left when placing the product using cannula. 

    Downtime is approximately 24hrs - However, you can return to work straight after, but will probably have some visible bumps under the skin.

    Two treatments are required four weeks apart.

  • Purpose: While both treatments aim to hydrate and firm the skin, Profhilo is excellent for overall skin rejuvenation, whereas Profhilo Structura is better suited for targeting specific areas needing more structural support.

    Treatment Areas: Profhilo is used for broader areas like the face, neck, and hands. Profhilo Structura is ideal for areas that require more lift and volume, such as the cheeks, jawline, and temples. 

    Results: Profhilo offers subtle, yet noticeable improvements in skin texture and hydration. Profhilo Structura provides more dramatic lifting and volumising effects.

    Procedure: Both treatments involve a series of small injections, but the application technique for Profhilo Structura is more focused on areas with deeper volume loss.

  • Choosing between Profhilo and Profhilo Structura depends on your specific skin concerns and aesthetic goals. During your consultation at SKINLAB, Sarah will assess your skin and recommend the most suitable treatment plan tailored to your needs.

Profhilo Structura is the latest breakthrough in the world of facial aesthetics, offering an advanced solution to restore lost facial volume and contours.
