Profhilo Structura: the treatment to redefine facial volume
At Absolute Health, we are always at the forefront of innovation in aesthetic medicine. Launched in 2024, Profhilo Structura represents the evolution of the original Profhilo introduced in 2015. It is a cutting-edge solution designed to naturally and safely restore facial contours, using IBSA’s patented technology of hybrid cooperative complexes of hyaluronic acid.
What is Profhilo Structura?
Profhilo Structura is a high-concentration formulation (64 mg/2 ml) of both high- and low-molecular-weight hyaluronic acid, obtained through a patented thermal process and free from chemical cross-linking agents such as BDDE. This results in high biocompatibility, excellent tissue diffusion, and a low risk of inflammation.
The synergistic action of the two forms of HA stimulates fibroblasts, keratinocytes, and adipocytes, improving skin tone, elasticity, and structure. Unlike the original Profhilo, which mainly boosts hydration, Structura acts more deeply on facial architecture, providing a harmonious and natural lifting effect.
Facial Aging: Sinkers and Saggers
With age, the face undergoes visible changes starting as early as the 30s, which can be grouped into two aging profiles:
Age Changes
30 Aging begins in the central facial area
40 The face loses projection, appears hollow and drooping
50 Midface structures visibly descend
🔹 Sinkers: characterized by volume loss and a hollowed appearance, especially in the lateral cheeks due to fat loss.
🔹 Saggers: marked by sagging and skin laxity, caused by reduced connective tissue integrity.
Profhilo Structura is specifically designed to address both profiles through personalized, targeted treatment.
Injection Techniques
The product is administered through subcutaneous microinjections using protocols tailored to the aging type:
✅ Sinkers Technique
Treated area: preauricular
Skin: thinner, with lower tissue density
✅ Saggers Technique
Treated areas: preauricular + zygomatic arch
Skin: thicker, with reduced support of soft tissues
The physician will choose the appropriate technique based on individual facial morphology to ensure balanced and natural results.
Treatment Process
The session lasts about 30 minutes and requires no anesthesia or downtime. An initial cycle of two sessions spaced 30 days apart is recommended, with optional maintenance every 6–9 months.
🗓 Suggested Timeline:
T0: First visit and injection
T1 (30 days): Second injection
T2 (4 months): Follow-up visit
