Injectable skin boosters have become super popular, One of the standout names in this space is Profhilo. It’s loved for the way it deeply hydrates, firms, and smooths the skin But now, there’s a new kid on the block: Profhilo Structura.
So, what’s the real difference between the two? And how do you know which one is right for you?
Let’s break it down...
What Is Profhilo?
Profhilo is a injectable treatment made of hyaluronic acid (HA). it doesn’t add volume or alter facial structure. Instead, it works by stimulating collagen and elastin production deep within the skin, improving hydration, elasticity, and texture from the inside out.
Key benefits of Profhilo:
Deep hydration
Improved skin elasticity
Smoother, firmer skin texture
Radiant, healthy glow
It’s typically injected using the BAP (Bio Aesthetic Points) technique, which involves 5 strategic points on each side of the face. The HA spreads evenly beneath the skin like honey, rejuvenating the entire area.
What Is Profhilo Structura?
Profhilo Structura is designed specifically to restore volume and support facial structure especially in areas affected by age related fat loss and skin laxity.
Structura has a higher concentration of HA and is injected deeper into the superficial fat layer, targeting volume loss and mild sagging. It provides subtle lift and support while still offering hydration and skin remodeling benefits.
Key benefits of Profhilo Structura:
Restores facial structure and definition
Lifts sagging skin (especially in the mid-to-lower face)
Improves firmness and contour
It’s typically injected with a cannula, allowing the practitioner to place the product more deeply and precisely.
Profhilo vs. Profhilo Structura: The Key Differences
Profhilo | Profhilo Structura | |
Injection Depth | Superficial dermis | Superficial fat layer |
Delivery Method | Needle (BAP technique) | Cannula |
Target Concerns | Skin hydration, elasticity | Volume loss, structural support |
Best For | Dull, crepey, dehydrated skin | Sagging, jowls, facial hollowing |
Who Is Each Treatment Best For?
Choose Profhilo if:
You’re experiencing early signs of aging (dullness, dryness, loss of elasticity)
You want dewy, glowing skin
Your skin feels tired, crepey, or just needs a boost
You’re looking for a preventative treatment to maintain your skin quality as you age
Choose Profhilo Structura if:
You’re noticing sagging, jowls, or facial volume loss
You want subtle lift and support
You’ve already tried Profhilo and want the next level
You’re looking to improve contour in the cheeks, jawline, or temples
Can You Combine Them?
Absolutely. We recommend combining Profhilo and Profhilo Structura for the ultimate rejuvenation treatment. Think of Profhilo as your hydration and glow booster, while Structura acts as your support and structure enhancer.
A common approach might be:
Start with Profhilo to boost overall skin quality, Then add Profhilo Structura a few weeks later to restore definition and lift
What About Pain and Downtime?
Both treatments are well tolerated, but Profhilo Structura can be slightly more uncomfortable due to its deeper injection technique and use of a cannula. Always a chance of mild swelling or bruising, but downtime is still minimal.
Results typically begin to show within 1–2 weeks and peak around 4–6 weeks post-treatment. Maintenance is usually recommended every 6 months.
If you’re not sure which is best for you, speak to one of the team at Olivia Cole who can assess your skin and tailor a treatment plan just for you. Often, the best results come from a combination of the two.
