Profhilo® Structura

Structura is an advanced aesthetic treatment designed to subtly enhance a patient’s appearance by correcting minor imperfections and promoting a fresher, more youthful look. Rather than dramatically altering facial features, Structura focuses on natural rejuvenation and structural support.

Uniquely engineered to lift without adding width, Structura works by improving adipose (fat) tissue through a technique known as “lipolifting.” This process restores facial structure by lifting and supporting the mid-face, reducing wrinkles, and improving overall skin appearance.

Structura is the only product on the market proven to reverse the aging process of facial fat cells. Superficial fat cell breakdown significantly contributes to age-related contour changes in the face. By reversing this process, Structura restores volume, providing a natural lift and rejuvenated appearance.

At the cellular level, Structura enhances collagen and elastin production while revitalizing fat cells, strengthening the superficial fat layer for improved facial contours.

FAQ

Am I a Suitable Candidate for Structura?

Ideal candidates for Structura are categorized as either “Sinkers” or “Saggers.”

    • Sinkers: Individuals with thinner skin and lower tissue density often display a more pronounced bone structure, resulting in a hollowed or sunken appearance. These patients typically require lateral structural support to restore volume.
    • Saggers: Patients with thicker or denser skin, noticeable laxity, and concerns about jowling or heaviness in the lower face may fall into this category. Saggers generally benefit from both horizontal and vertical lifting to counteract fat redistribution and sagging.

These classifications guide practitioners in tailoring treatment plans. However, every Structura treatment is customized to meet each patient’s unique needs. Importantly, the treatment lifts and contours without causing facial widening, a common issue with traditional fillers.

Treatment Duration?

A Structura appointment lasts approximately 30 minutes. The procedure itself involves precise injection points and typically takes only 10 minutes to complete. The treatment is relatively pain-free, and no downtime is required, allowing patients to resume daily activities immediately.

Treatment Longevity?

For optimal results, it is recommended to repeat the treatment annually. However, patients may choose to undergo treatment every six months, depending on individual goals and desired maintenance.

Potential Side Effects?

Common side effects related to injections are localized, temporary, and may include:

    • Swelling
    • Redness
    • Mild bruising
    • Occasional itching, tenderness, or increased swelling

Rare but serious risks reported in medical literature include blindness, compromised blood supply to skin areas, and infection associated with filler use. These complications are treatable when promptly and appropriately managed.

Structura offers a scientifically advanced, safe, and effective solution for natural facial rejuvenation and structural enhancement.
