Profhilo and Profhilo Structura are both hyaluronic acid-based injectable treatments, but they target different ageing concerns.

Profhilo focuses on improving skin hydration, elasticity, firmness and overall skin quality.

Profhilo Structura is designed to address age-related changes in facial adipose tissue, helping support facial structure and improve contours.

Your doctor can recommend the appropriate treatment based on whether your main concern is skin quality or facial structural changes.

Profhilo generally involves minimal downtime. Small raised bumps may appear at the injection points immediately after treatment and commonly settle within approximately 24 hours.

Mild swelling, redness, tenderness or bruising may also occur. Bruising can take several days to resolve.

Most patients can return to normal daily activities shortly after treatment.

Each session lasts between 10-15 minutes depending on the number of injection sites. How long Profhilo treatments last will depend on the total sessions done. It is recommended to have 3 sessions, with the first two sessions spaced one month apart, and the third session six months later. The effects can last for about one year. Maintenance treatments may be recommended to sustain the improvements.

Profhilo involves several small injections, so mild discomfort or a brief stinging sensation may occur.

The five injection points on each side of the face, reducing the number of injections required.

There is no specific age at which everyone should start Profhilo. It may be considered by adults who notice early signs of skin ageing, such as dehydration, reduced elasticity or fine lines. Suitability depends on individual skin condition and treatment goals rather than age alone.
