Frequent Q &A

What is Profhilo Strutura?

Profhilo® Structura, a hyaluronic acid injectable gel, is specifically designed to regenerate subcutaneous fat. It’s the first product with this indication, combining high and low molecular weight hyaluronic acid for adipose restoration. Clinical research shows high patient satisfaction and easy incorporation into skin booster treatments.

Profhilo is indeed a skin booster, not a filler. It works by deeply hydrating and bio-remodeling the skin, stimulating collagen and elastin production for a regenerative effect. Profhilo®’s next generation targets deeper structural changes caused by aging, particularly the loss of fatty tissue.

Currently, Profhilo® Structura is used to treat subcutaneous fat loss in the face, addressing facial sinking and sagging. “Sinkers” have thinner skin and visible bone structure, while “saggers” have thicker skin with volume loss and laxity.

How Long Is Recovery?

You’ll have little bumps on the skin, like little insect bites, for about four to six hours following the Profhilo® treatment, so there’s a bit of downtime.

For the neck treatments, the bumps may be visible for a bit longer, so do expect more downtime for the neck.

And How Long Do Results Last?

So the results will last, approximately four months. It would be good to do a two-session course of Profhilo® twice a year. This is just to remind your skin, actually, to repair itself and to rejuvenate itself.

Who can have Prophilo?

It can be used to patients with problems of skin elasticity. Ideal for patients going through menopause, because around menopause your hormone level will change, and the quality of your skin will change a lot so you can do a course of Profhilo® to help boost your skin.

How many Treatments are needed?

For Profhilo®, it’s ideally a two-session treatment, so you should do one session, and then four weeks after, a second session to get the maximum effect.

For a woman around menopause, I sometimes advise a course of three – so four weeks after the second session, you can do a third session.

Does it change your face structure?

It is a natural process of treatment which allows the body to use its own resources to stimulate collagen production.
