Profhilo® and Profhilo Structura in Birmingham
Profhilo and Profhilo Structura are advanced injectable treatments designed to enhance skin quality, firmness, and structural support, rather than adding volume or altering facial shape. At our Birmingham clinic, these treatments are positioned as part of an outcome-led skin and facial ageing strategy, delivered following a detailed specialist assessment.
Both treatments use stabilised hyaluronic acid, but they are designed to work in different tissue layers and address other aspects of ageing. Understanding this distinction is essential to achieving refined, natural results.
Profhilo® – Skin Quality and Hydration
What Profhilo® does
Profhilo® is a bio-remodelling injectable treatment designed to improve:
- Skin hydration
- Elasticity and firmness
- Overall skin quality and luminosity
Rather than targeting lines or adding volume, Profhilo® works across the skin to restore vitality and resilience. It is commonly chosen by patients who feel their skin looks tired, dull, or less elastic but do not want dermal fillers.
How Profhilo® works
Profhilo® contains a high concentration of stabilised hyaluronic acid that spreads evenly through the skin following injection. Once placed, it stimulates collagen and elastin production while deeply hydrating the tissue.
The treatment is delivered using a specific injection protocol that allows the product to diffuse naturally, improving skin quality across a broad area rather than in isolated points.
Results develop gradually over several weeks as the skin responds biologically.
Who Profhilo® is for
Profhilo® is suitable for individuals who:
- Are noticing early to moderate signs of skin ageing
- Have dehydrated, crepey, or lax skin
- Want to improve skin quality without altering facial shape
- Prefer subtle, natural enhancement
Common treatment areas include the face, neck, décolletage, hands, and arms.
Profhilo® Structura – Structural Skin Support
What Profhilo® Structura does
Profhilo® Structura is designed to address structural skin ageing, particularly changes related to fat pad quality and tissue support. It is not a dermal filler and does not add volume in the traditional sense.
Instead, Profhilo® Structura focuses on improving:
- Skin firmness
- Tissue quality
- Structural support in areas affected by age-related changes
It is often considered when facial ageing is linked to loss of support rather than surface skin texture alone.
How Profhilo® Structura works
Profhilo® Structura is injected into deeper tissue layers compared to standard Profhilo®. It works by supporting adipose tissue quality and encouraging biological regeneration within the structural layers of the skin.
By improving tissue integrity and support, Profhilo® Structura can help soften the appearance of facial ageing while maintaining natural facial proportions.
Results develop progressively and are best assessed over time rather than immediately after treatment.
Who Profhilo® Structura is for
Profhilo® Structura is suitable for patients who:
- Are experiencing early to moderate facial sagging
- Have loss of firmness or tissue support
- Want structural improvement without dermal filler
- Prefer subtle, biologically driven results
It is commonly used in the mid-face and lower face, depending on individual anatomy and assessment.
Profhilo® vs Profhilo® Structura – understanding the difference
While both treatments use hyaluronic acid, they serve different purposes:
- Profhilo® focuses on skin hydration and surface quality
- Profhilo® Structura focuses on deeper tissue support and firmness
In experienced hands, these treatments can be used independently or together, depending on skin condition, facial structure, and desired outcomes. Treatment planning is always bespoke.
How many sessions are needed?
Both Profhilo® and Profhilo® Structura are typically delivered as a course:
- Usually 2 sessions, spaced around 4 weeks apart
- Maintenance treatments may be recommended depending on skin response and ageing process
Your practitioner will advise on the most appropriate plan following assessment.
