Profhilo and Profhilo Structura

In the realm of non-surgical aesthetics, Profhilo and Profhilo Structura stand out as innovative treatments designed to combat the signs of aging and enhance skin quality. Both utilize the remarkable properties of Hyaluronic Acid (HA) but differ in their approach and intended outcomes.

Profhilo is a revolutionary injectable treatment that focuses on bio-remodeling the skin. It utilizes one of the highest concentrations of HA on the market to deeply hydrate and stimulate the production of collagen and elastin. The treatment is ideal for improving skin laxity and texture without adding volume, making it a preferred choice for those seeking natural-looking results.

Profhilo Structura  extends the capabilities of traditional Profhilo by targeting superficial fat layers of the face. This allows for the restoration of volume and natural contours, addressing more pronounced aging-related changes and sagging, effectively providing a subtle face-lift effect without surgery. 

Both treatments involve injecting HA into key areas under the skin. Profhilo spreads uniformly to significantly boost skin hydration and stimulate collagen and elastin production. Profhilo Structura focuses on the superficial fat layers, not only enhancing hydration but also restoring lost facial volume and contours due to aging, offering a lifting and defining effect by reinforcing facial structures. 

Profhilo:

– Provides deep hydration resulting in a radiant complexion.

– Improves skin elasticity and firmness, tighten the skin

– Smoothes out fine lines and minor wrinkles, creating a more youthful appearance.

– Stimulates the natural production of collagen and elastin.

– Delivers subtle, natural enhancements without increasing facial volume.

Profhilo Structura:

– Hydrates and structurally supports the skin,

– Targets superficial fat layers for volume restoration and contouring.

– Gently lifts sagging skin, improving facial definition.

– Naturally restore lost volume, giving a more youthful appearance without the “puffy” effect

You can expect to see initial results from Profhilo and Profhilo Structura treatments within a few weeks. Optimal results typically appear around 3 to 6 months after the treatment, as collagen and elastin production increases, leading to improved skin texture and firmness. Usually, 2 sessions are suggested, spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart. Each session involves injecting HA into five strategic points on each side of the face. The effects generally last between 6 to 12 months, depending on individual factors. 

Profhilo and Profhilo Structura can be used on various areas of the face and body, including:

– Face

– Neck

– Décolletage

– Hands

– Abdomen

– Inner arms

Profhilo Structura, due to its volumetric benefits, may be particularly effective in areas requiring lifting and contouring, such as the cheeks and jawline. 

Both Profhilo and Profhilo Structura treatments have minimal downtime. Patients may experience slight swelling, bruising, or redness at the injection sites, but these effects typically resolve within a few days. Most individuals can resume their normal activities immediately after treatment. 

Yes, both Profhilo and Profhilo Structura can be used in conjunction with other aesthetic treatments. They can complement procedures like botulinum toxin (Botox) or additional dermal fillers. It is advisable to consult with a doctor to ensure the combination is safe and effectively tailored to your aesthetic goals.

1. Purpose and Application:

   – Profhilo: Primarily focuses on overall skin hydration and elasticity, making it suitable for individuals experiencing the early signs of aging. It spreads uniformly under the skin, emphasizing overall skin quality improvement.

   – Profhilo Structura: Targets deeper skin laxity and provides structural support, offering a slight lift and contour enhancement. It is designed for those with more pronounced signs of aging, who need not just hydration but also structural reinforcement. 

2. Treatment Areas:

   – Both treatments can be used on the face, neck, hands, and décolletage. However, Profhilo is more commonly used for widespread skin enhancement, while Profhilo Structura is beneficial for areas requiring more specific structural improvement. 

3. Results and Longevity:

   – Profhilo: Patients typically notice improved skin texture and firmness within a few weeks, with effects lasting up to six months.

   – Profhilo Structura: Patients can expect more noticeable lifting and contouring effects, which may last similarly but require less frequent touch-ups due to its deeper action.
