What is the brand-new Profhilo Structura?

Profhilo Structura is a new injectable treatment. It is the first treatment worldwide that aims to restore the superficial facial fat pads in our faces. New Zealand is the 4th country in the world to introduce this new and innovative treatment.

This treatment helps with age-related changes, such as sagging skin, hollow cheeks, and altered facial shapes. It is a newer and quite different version of Profhilo Classic.

Launched in 2024 by IBSA Derma, it uses a unique NAHYCO® technology. This technology combines high and low-molecular-weight hyaluronic acid, providing effective treatment without cross-linking chemicals. This makes it safer and easier to tolerate than traditional fillers.

What is Profhilo?

Before we compare the two different product versions, we need to understand what Profhilo is.

It is a new injectable treatment that uses hyaluronic acid (HA), a naturally occurring substance in the skin. This treatment helps improve skin hydration and texture.

HA keeps our skin hydrated and plump. Unlike traditional dermal fillers, Profhilo does not add volume and only has a minimal lifting effect.

Instead, it rejuvenates the skin by boosting hydration. It also, to a smaller extent, encourages the production of collagen and elastin. The result is firmer, smoother, and more radiant skin.

How does Profhilo Structura work?

We all have fat pads under the skin on our faces. As we age, these fat pads become smaller and start sagging downwards.

As a result, our face loses volume in certain areas, for example, the middle of the cheeks and under the eyes. In contrast, other parts of the face, like the folds between the nose and lips, have a build-up of fat pads.

Injectors administer Profhilo Structura close to these changing fat pads. The hyaluronic acid inside the product rejuvenates and replenishes the fat pads, giving them more structure. It also has a mild lifting effect. As a result, the face as a whole appears younger and fresher.

What are the differences between these two products?

While both Classic Profhilo and Profhilo Structura aim to enhance facial aesthetics, they have distinct formulations and purposes. Classic Profhilo primarily hydrates the skin and improves its overall texture. It works by spreading evenly beneath the skin, promoting elasticity and radiance. This product is ideal for those seeking a youthful glow without significant volume changes.

On the other hand, Profhilo Structura’s formulation specifically targets volume loss in specific areas. It contains more hyaluronic acid, which hydrates the skin and supports the face. This is especially good for adding volume to the cheeks and under the eyes, where sagging is easy to see.

Another key difference lies in the injection technique. Doctors usually inject Profhilo at several points on the face. This helps it spread and improve the overall quality of the skin. In contrast, practitioners administer Profhilo Structura more strategically, focusing on areas that require additional support and lifting.

Let’s look at each product and its benefits and downsides.

Classic Profhilo: The Original Skin Booster

Classic Profhilo is the original formula that took the aesthetic industry by storm. The product targets people experiencing early signs of aging, such as fine lines, loss of elasticity, and dullness.

The treatment involves injecting the product into five specific points on each side of the face. It has a consistency like honeydew and spreads under the skin, deeply hydrating and replenishing it.

Benefits of Classic Profhilo

  • Deep Hydration: It delivers high levels of hydration, helping to combat dryness and restore a youthful glow.
  • Boosts Collagen and Elastin Production: It helps the skin renew itself, supporting its structure and making it stronger.
  • Non-Volumizing: Unlike dermal fillers, Profhilo doesn’t change facial contours, making it a subtle yet effective treatment.
  • Minimal Downtime: The quick treatment requires minimal discomfort and downtime, making it perfect for busy schedules.

Profhilo Structura: A New Take on Skin Rejuvenation

Profhilo Structura builds on the success of Classic Profhilo but adds a new dimension to its skin-remodeling capabilities. The doctor injects it deeper under the skin, close to the fat pads in your face. There, it stimulates the fat cells, which replenish themselves and produce more collagen and elastin.

Classic Profhilo mainly boosts hydration and elasticity. In contrast, Profhilo Structura uses denser hyaluronic acid, which gives a mild lifting effect and also rejuvenates the skin.

Benefits of Profhilo Structura

  • More Intense Skin Remodeling: Ideal for individuals with deeper lines and wrinkles or those needing more structural enhancement.
  • Lifting and Tightening Effect: It hydrates the skin and provides a slight lifting effect. It is ideal for sagging skin or areas that need more contour.
  • Increased Longevity: It has a more potent formula. This means patients can enjoy longer-lasting results between treatments.
  • You can also use it on other body areas. Apply it to your neck, décolletage, hands, and even your buttocks or thighs, as these areas may need extra support.

What can go wrong with Profhilo Structura?

Profhilo Structura is a safe product that has been FDA-approved. When considering Profhilo Structura, potential risks or complications can include:

Mild bruising

Common side effects may include swelling, redness, or bruising at the injection sites. These usually resolve quickly.

Mild discomfort

is also possible during the injection process, but this is typically short-lived. You may feel a mild headache or tightness in the treated areas. This usually goes away within a few days.

Infection

As with any injectable treatment, there is a very small risk of infection. However, the injector can avoid this by following proper hygiene practices.

Allergic Reaction

Although extremely rare, some people may experience allergic reactions to the product’s hyaluronic acid or other components. Hyaluronic acid is a natural sugar found in the skin, making it very unlikely to cause an allergic reaction.

Vascular Complications

Rarely, if someone injects the product into a blood vessel, it can cause serious complications, including skin damage. Doctors inject the product just below the skin, making this risk extremely low.

Which One is Right for You?

Both Classic Profhilo and Profhilo Structura have great benefits. The choice between them depends on your skin concerns.

  • Classic Profhilo is perfect for those noticing early signs of aging. It provides a hydration boost with little effort.
  • Profhilo Structura is better for people with more advanced aging issues. This includes deeper wrinkles, sagging skin, and the need for mild contouring and lifting of the face.

Can you combine both types?

Yes, you can combine both types of Profhilo treatments.

Many experts suggest using Classic Profhilo for hydration and early signs of aging. They also recommend Profhilo Structura for more serious issues, like deeper wrinkles and sagging skin. This combination can provide a comprehensive approach to skin rejuvenation, effectively addressing multiple issues.

What is the cost?

The average cost can range from $800 to $1,200 per syringe treatment session. It’s advisable to consult with a qualified practitioner for a personalized quote and to discuss your specific needs.

Conclusion

If you want to keep your skin looking young, try Classic Profhilo. If you need more intense skin remodelling, choose Profhilo Structura. Both treatments are non-invasive and can help you look and feel your best.

In the end, choosing between Classic Profhilo and Profhilo Structura depends on your goals. It also depends on where you are in your anti-aging journey. No matter which option you choose, you will enjoy the skin-rejuvenating benefits of these treatments!
