If you’re looking to improve the quality, hydration and overall appearance of your skin, you may have heard of Profhilo and Profhilo Structura. While both are injectable treatments from the Profhilo family, they have different focuses and are designed to address different concerns.
So, what is the difference between Profhilo and Profhilo Structura — and which one could be right for you?
What is Profhilo?
Profhilo is an injectable hyaluronic acid treatment designed to improve skin hydration, elasticity and firmness.
Unlike traditional dermal fillers, Profhilo isn’t designed to add volume or change the shape of your features. Instead, it works by stimulating the skin and supporting the production of collagen and elastin, helping the skin look healthier, smoother and more hydrated.
It can be particularly suitable for skin that feels:
- Dry or dehydrated
- Dull or tired-looking
- Less firm or elastic
- Showing early signs of ageing
- Lacking overall skin quality
Profhilo is often chosen for the face, neck, décolletage and hands, depending on your individual needs.
What is Profhilo Structura?
Profhilo Structura is a more targeted treatment that focuses on supporting the structure of the skin and restoring a more youthful appearance to areas where tissue quality and volume have changed with age.
While Profhilo primarily focuses on hydration and skin quality, Profhilo Structura is formulated with a higher concentration of hyaluronic acid and is designed to work more deeply within the subcutaneous tissue.
It can help to improve the appearance of areas affected by age-related changes, loss of support and reduced tissue quality, while still supporting overall skin health.
Profhilo Structura is particularly suited to patients who are noticing changes such as:
- Loss of firmness and support
- Changes to facial contours
- Age-related tissue laxity
- Reduced skin quality
- A more tired or sunken appearance
Profhilo vs Profhilo Structura: Which is right for you?
The main difference is what you are looking to achieve.
Profhilo:
Think hydration, skin quality, elasticity and a refreshed appearance.
Profhilo Structura:
Think structure, support and addressing deeper age-related changes in the skin and underlying tissue.
Neither treatment is necessarily “better” than the other. They simply have different purposes, and the most suitable option will depend on your skin, concerns and desired results.
In some cases, the treatments may also complement other aesthetic treatments as part of a wider, personalised treatment plan.
Natural-looking results
Both treatments are designed to enhance your natural appearance rather than dramatically change your features. The aim is healthier-looking, more youthful skin while maintaining your individual facial characteristics.
Results can vary from person to person, and your practitioner will discuss what you can realistically expect during your consultation.
