Profhilo vs Profhilo Structura

If you’ve been considering injectable skin treatments, you may be wondering about the difference between Profhilo vs Profhilo Structura—two of the most advanced and widely requested regenerative injectables at Riverbanks Clinic.

What’s the Difference between Profhilo and Profhilo Structura?

• Profhilo is a skin booster that hydrates and remodels skin quality.
• Profhilo Structura is a regenerative treatment that rebuilds the fat layer under the skin for subtle lift and structure.
• Both stimulate collagen, but Structura also targets volume loss.
• Used alone or together, they restore youthful skin naturally—with minimal downtime.

What Is Profhilo?

Profhilo is not a filler. It’s a bio-remodelling injectable made from ultrapure hyaluronic acid that spreads evenly beneath the skin after injection. It hydrates from within, stimulates collagen and elastin production, and enhances your skin’s glow, firmness, and elasticity.

• Targets: skin hydration, dullness, fine lines
• Treated areas: mid and lower face, neck, décolletage, hands
• Mechanism: spreads through the dermis to improve overall skin quality
• Injection sites: 5 bio-aesthetic points (BAP) per side of the face
• Downtime: virtually none

💡 Think of Profhilo as a deep skin drink that reboots your complexion.

What Is Profhilo Structura?

Profhilo Structura is the next evolution of injectable skin treatments. It’s formulated with 50% more hyaluronic acid than classic Profhilo and has a denser, thicker consistency. This allows it to be injected into the deep fatty tissue layer (dWAT) where it helps regenerate lost volume and structure.

• Targets: midface hollowness, sagging, early structural ageing
• Treated areas: cheeks, temples, jawline
• Mechanism: stays where placed, rebuilds the foundation beneath your skin
• Injection tools: cannula or sharp needle for precision
• Downtime: minimal, similar to a soft filler

💡 Structura regenerates from the inside-out, restoring volume and elasticity naturally.

How Do They Compare?

Feature	Profhilo	Profhilo Structura
Purpose	Skin hydration, collagen stimulation	Structural support, fat layer regeneration
HA Concentration	64mg/2ml	90mg/2ml
Injection Depth	Dermis	Deep subcutaneous fat (dWAT)
Application	5 BAP points	Targeted cannula or needle
Ideal For	Dullness, dehydration, fine lines	Sagging, hollowness, volume loss
Maintenance	Every 6 months	Every 9–12 months
Results	Glow, firmness, improved elasticity	Subtle lift, structural regeneration

💡 While Profhilo is for glow, Structura is for support—and both can work beautifully together.

Who Should Choose Profhilo?

If you’re concerned about:

• Tired-looking skin
• Dullness or dehydration
• Early signs of ageing
• Uneven skin tone or fine lines

Then Profhilo is your go-to option. It restores skin quality and luminosity without changing your facial shape.

Who Should Choose Profhilo Structura?

If you’re noticing:

• Hollow or sunken areas in the face
• Flattening of the midface
• Subtle skin sagging
• Changes in facial contours with age

Then Structura is a game-changer. It offers regenerative volume without heaviness or an artificial look.

Can You Combine Profhilo and Structura?

Yes—this is often the best approach for optimal results. At Riverbanks, we frequently combine both treatments in a layered protocol:

1. Step 1: Start with Profhilo to improve overall skin quality.
2. Step 2: Follow with Structura to restore volume and facial support.

By addressing all three layers of skin—epidermis, dermis, and hypodermis (fat layer)—we stimulate natural regeneration throughout the entire facial structure.

How Long Do the Results Last?

• Profhilo: Visible glow and firmness after 2 sessions spaced 4 weeks apart. Top-ups every 6 months.
• Structura: Subtle contouring after 2 sessions, 4 weeks apart. Top-ups typically every 9–12 months.

Because both treatments stimulate your own collagen and elastin production, improvements are long-lasting and continue to evolve over time.

Scientific Backing

• Profhilo – Nearing 10 Years of Use: Update on Safety Assessment Based on Post‐Marketing Surveillance Data
• Efficacy and tolerability of Profhilo® Structura intended to restore lateral cheek fat compartment: An observational pilot study
• Profhilo® Structura, Current Status and Future Perspectives: A Practical Review
• Role of dWAT in facial ageing and restoration

These studies support the regenerative effects observed with both Profhilo and Structura.
