Why is superficial fat important?
Superficial fat provides essential volume and support to the skin, helping to maintain a naturally lifted appearance.
As we age, the face loses the triangle of youth and begins to 'square out'.
The natural placement of superficial fat plays a vital role in highlighting youthful contours, including a defined jawline and sculpted cheeks.
Over time, the gradual redistribution and depletion of this fat results in sagging and hollowed areas, eroding natural symmetry.
Is Profhilo Structura a filler?
No, Profhilo® Structura represents a unique category of advanced injectable treatments.
Unlike fillers that offer mechanical lifting and volumising effects, Profhilo® Structura adopts a restorative approach that the body recogniises, controlling inflammation and providing subtle repositioning without triggering an inflammatory response.
How do Profhilo and Profhilo Structura differ?
Profhilo® and Profhilo® Structura have different rheological properties and benefits.
Profhilo® is injected into the dermis of the skin where it is clinically proven to provide tissue restoration without volumisation. It does this by waking up dormant fibroblast cells to regenerate collagen and elastin, visibly improving the skin's firmness, texture, and hydration.
Profhilo® Structura, on the other hand, is designed for deeper structural remodeling and is injected into the subcutaneous (fat) layers. It is clinically proven to reposition and regenerate the dynamic superficial fat pads located beneath the skin and connective tissue, and above the muscle and deep fat layers.
Both treatments offer unique benefits tailored to different skin concerns and treatment areas, ensuring a comprehensive approach to skin rejuvenation and anti-ageing.
What is involved?
A Profhilo® Structura treatment consists of two sessions, administered one month apart.
Profhilo® Structura can be injected in different ways in the upper cheek - this depends on the amount of hollowing, laxity, and skin thickness.
There is minimal down-time with the treatment and you can go about their day with ease after appointment.
Does it hurt?
If you have had Profhilo already, you will find Structura a breeze. It stings for about 10 seconds.
However, We do offer local anaesthetic cream or injections, short lasting dental anaesthetic and Target cool freezing to make all your injectables as pain free as possible!
