Profhilo Structura IN OXFORd

Regenerative Medicine For Natural Facial Lifting

Ageing is influenced by changes in the facial skeleton, ligaments, muscles, fat distribution, and skin quality. Profhilo Structura is uniquely formulated to work in harmony with your superficial fat pads, restoring lost volume to help address common age-related concerns like facial hollowing, skin laxity, and the “square face” appearance caused by midface fat loss. Patients seeking natural alternatives to dermal filler treatments may wish to explore Structura as an alternative treatment for facial ageing. However, it is not a replacement for dermal filler treatments that address significant facial volume changes and is often used in combination to create improved harmony and balance in the ageing face.

This innovative treatment uses a highly concentrated, diffusible Hyaluronic Acid gel that interacts with stem cells within your facial fat pads—making Profhilo Structura one of the latest breakthroughs in regenerative medicine for combating facial fat loss and subsequent skin laxity from the inside out.

Structura treatments are minimally invasive, involve minimal discomfort, and target the lateral facial fat pads to gradually lift and reposition sagging skin along the jawline and jowls. As the only procedure of its kind that regenerates fat from within, Profhilo Structura often delivers visible results in just 4–8 weeks.

What results can you expect With Profhilo Structura ?

Once injected, Profhilo Structura activates ageing adipose fat cell receptors, subtly and safely encouraging them to mimic the behaviour of their youth, supporting the laxity of the skin and soft tissues. After the first treatment, 95% of patients noticed lasting enhancements in the mid-face area.

Studies have shown that Profhilo STRUCTURA can also positively affect skin, ligaments, muscles and even bone integrity.

The effects of Profhilo STRUCTURA will generally last six months; however, no guarantee can be given for its duration as the product can be affected by internal and external influences, including some medical conditions, medications, smoking and sun exposure.

Combination Treatments

Profhilo Structura is compatible with, and often compliments, many of our other aesthetic treatments, such as Profhilo (for superficial skin tightening and remodelling), dermal filler (for deep volume or structure), and HIFU skin tightening. You should always check with your practitioner that it is suitable if you are having treatments elsewhere.

Profhilo Structura | Frequently Asked Questions

Profhilo Structura is a patented NAHYCO® technology from IBSA Pharmaceuticals and is created with thermally stabilised high and low molecular-weight hyaluronic acids. Structura is the only treatment products currently licenced to be injected into the superficial adipose (fat) pads for the biomodulation of lax soft tissues of the face.
No. Dermal fillers are gels of hyaluronic acid that have been stabilised with a chemical to keep it held together and replace biological shape or volume in specific areas of the face. It does not have any regenerative or stumilating benefits.
Structura is a unique hybrid hyaluronic acid gel that has been thermally stabilised (no chemical addition) and is not held together. This allows the product to spread uniformly within the fat pad compartment, where its unique formula stimulates stem cell activity to communicate with fat cells.
You will initially require 2-3 treatments spaced 4 weeks apart. Profhilo Structura requires continuous maintenece with a single top up treatment every 4-6 months. This will be discussed with your practitioner as it depends upon your degree of ageing, fat loss, and lifestyle.
Yes, every medical treatment carries some risks and these will be fully explained during consultation. However you may find it comforting to know that there have never been any significant adverse events recorded for Profhilo Structura and the main side effects being that of potential bruises from the injection site and mild swelling for 1-2 days.

You may develop a bruise from each injection site (one on each rear side of the face) and you may experience some swelling for 1-2 days after. You may notice the product sitting under the skin during this time. Many patients comment that it is barely noticable, wherease some state it is defined for a few days.
You will most likely see results 4 weeks after the initial treatment. 95% of patients do. However it is important to complete the initial course of 2 treatments, four weeks apart, in order to fully see the benefits. You will see the final effects show around 8 weeks after starting your course.
Yes, and this will be fully discussed and written for you following your treatment. However it may be helpful to know the following:
- Do not massage the treatment area. The product will naturally diffuse to where it needs to go over 48 hours.
- Avoid physical strain and sports for 24 hours.
- Avoid having further cosmetic procedures for 48 hours.
- It is not recommended to have sauna or steamy bath for the first few days either.
- It’s best to stay out of the sun if any bruising or prolonged swelling occurs.
The effects of Profhilo Structura will usually last around 6 months. As Structura gradually breaks down in the fat layer, your stem cells will no longer be activated and will return to a more sluggish ability, and the fat cells will begin to shrink again.
We advise booking your first single maintenance treatment 6 months from starting your initial course of 2, and then a single treatment every 4-6 months.
