Profhilo Structura

Just launched, Profhilo Structura is the first injectable treatment specifically designed for the restoration of fat tissue. By regenerating superficial facial fat, Profhilo Structura improves structural support and provides a lifting-effect of the mid-face.

Traditionally, dermal fillers have been used to plump the skin and remodel the facial structure. Of late, there has been more of a desire by patients to enhance their skin in a more natural-looking way, without the use of thick, heavy dermal fillers. Although dermal fillers have their place to add volume to sunken areas such as the temples, cheeks and even to remodel and reshape the nose; substances that treat the skin’s full architecture and to make the skin ‘work’ for itself is becoming more in demand for those not wishing or needing to go down the traditional dermal filler route just yet.

Profhilo^® Structura is a groundbreaking injectable treatment designed to lift, contour and rejuvenate the facial profile by targeting superficial fat layers.

By regenerating and repositioning these fat layers, Profhilo® Structura counteracts the natural flattening of facial angles and tissue descent that occur over time. The result is more lifted, naturally contoured profile without obvious projections or the appearance of artificial enhancement.
