Introduction

Profhilo Structura in Essex

This injectable hyaluronic acid treatment is designed to address age-related changes within the superficial facial fat compartments, helping to improve support, firmness and facial definition.

Treatment Overview

What Is Profhilo Structura?

As the face ages, the superficial fat compartments can shrink, flatten or change position. This is known as facial fat atrophy. These changes may reduce support for the overlying skin and contribute to laxity, hollowing and reduced facial definition.

Profhilo Structura contains hybrid complexes of high- and low-molecular-weight hyaluronic acid. It has been developed for placement within selected superficial facial fat compartments rather than for general skin hydration.

How it works

Is Profhilo Structura a Dermal Filler?

Profhilo Structura contains hyaluronic acid, but it is not used like a traditional dermal filler. Fillers are generally placed to create projection, replace volume or alter specific facial contours.

Profhilo Structura has a different consistency and is designed to integrate within selected superficial fat compartments. Its purpose is to improve structural support and natural definition rather than significantly change your features.

Where Can Profhilo Structura Be Injected?

Profhilo Structura is used within selected superficial facial fat compartments, commonly around the lateral cheek and preauricular area in front of the ear. Supporting this area may improve the appearance of the midface and create a subtle lipolifting effect. The precise treatment area will depend on your facial anatomy and pattern of ageing.

How Can Profhilo Structura Support the Ageing Face?

Profhilo Structura may be considered for:

Skin laxity through the mid and lower face

Reduced firmness and facial support

Flattening through the lateral cheek

Age-related facial fat loss

Reduced facial definition

Early jowling linked to reduced tissue support

Treatment may also support collagen and elastin production, which contributes to firmness and skin resilience. Results are intended to remain subtle and in keeping with your natural facial shape.

Neither treatment is universally better. Standard Profhilo primarily focuses on hydration and skin quality. Profhilo Structura is designed for age-related changes within the superficial facial fat compartments, structural support and facial definition.

It may be worthwhile if facial fat atrophy or laxity is contributing to an aged or tired appearance. It costs £300 per treatment at Smooth Dimensions. Suitability and value depend on your concerns and treatment plan.

Profhilo Structura is an injectable medical treatment and is not risk-free. Temporary swelling, redness, tenderness and bruising can occur. Less common complications are possible, so treatment requires a full medical assessment and an appropriately trained practitioner.

It is designed to support superficial facial fat compartments and may improve age-related flattening. It is not intended to create the projection or contouring associated with traditional dermal fillers.

Profhilo Structura is injected into selected superficial facial fat compartments, commonly around the lateral cheek and the area in front of the ear. The precise injection points will depend on your facial anatomy, pattern of ageing and the areas requiring additional structural support.

Results vary. After the initial course, Smooth Dimensions usually recommends another treatment at around four months, followed by ongoing maintenance.

Smooth Dimensions usually recommends an initial course of two treatments approximately one month apart. A further treatment is commonly advised around four months later, followed by ongoing maintenance based on your response and treatment goals.
