Profhilo Structura: Regenerative Skin Treatment for Lift and Firmness
Profhilo Structura is an advanced injectable skin treatment designed to improve facial firmness, support facial structure, and stimulate natural collagen production. Rather than adding volume like traditional dermal fillers, Profhilo Structura works beneath the surface of the skin to regenerate tissue and restore a healthier, more youthful appearance.
This treatment is part of a new generation of skin boosters that focus on improving skin quality and structure rather than altering facial shape. If you’d like to understand how skin boosters work more broadly, our guide to skin boosters explained explores the science and benefits behind these treatments.
Other regenerative skin boosters, such as Sunekos, also work by stimulating collagen and improving skin quality.
What is Profhilo Structura?
Profhilo Structura is a bio-stimulatory injectable made from highly purified hyaluronic acid. Unlike dermal fillers, which are used to add volume or contour specific facial areas, Profhilo Structura works by stimulating the skin’s own regenerative processes.
As we age, our skin naturally loses collagen, elastin, and structural support. This contributes to changes such as:
reduced firmness
skin laxity
loss of facial definition
fine lines and wrinkles
Profhilo Structura helps address these changes by stimulating fibroblasts within the skin. These cells are responsible for producing collagen and elastin, which are essential for maintaining strength, elasticity, and resilience in the skin.
The result is skin that looks firmer, smoother, and more supported from within.
What concerns can Profhilo Structura treat?
Profhilo Structura is designed to improve overall facial skin quality and support facial structure. It can help with concerns such as:
loss of skin firmness
early skin laxity
fine lines and wrinkles
reduced facial definition
dull or tired-looking skin
Because the treatment works across the skin rather than targeting a single wrinkle or fold, it is often chosen by people who want natural-looking rejuvenation without obvious volume changes.
How does the treatment work?
Profhilo Structura is injected just beneath the skin using a series of carefully placed injection points across the face. Once injected, the hyaluronic acid spreads through the tissue and begins stimulating the skin’s natural regenerative processes.
This encourages the production of new collagen and elastin while supporting the structure of the skin and underlying tissue.
The treatment works gradually, meaning results appear naturally as the skin improves over time rather than changing immediately.
What happens during treatment?
Treatment begins with a consultation to discuss your skin concerns, medical history, and suitability for Profhilo Structura.
During the procedure, a series of small injections are placed across specific areas of the face. The treatment itself is relatively quick and typically takes around 30 minutes.
Most treatment plans involve two sessions spaced approximately four to six weeks apart to achieve optimal results.
How long do results last?
Many people notice improvements in skin firmness and texture within the weeks following treatment. Results continue to develop as collagen production increases.
Results typically last around six to nine months, after which maintenance treatments may be recommended to maintain skin quality and structural support.
Does the treatment hurt?
Profhilo Structura injections are generally well tolerated. The needles used are very fine, and most people describe the sensation as mild discomfort rather than pain.
The treatment itself is quick, and normal activities can usually be resumed shortly afterwards.
Are there any side effects?
As with most injectable treatments, mild side effects can occur. These may include:
redness
swelling
small bumps at injection sites
minor bruising
These effects are usually temporary and settle within a few hours to a couple of days.
More serious complications are rare, but if you notice unusual symptoms or changes in the skin, you should contact your clinic promptly.
Who performs the treatment?
At Aotearoa Aesthetics, all injectable treatments are performed by Shalu, a qualified cosmetic injector with specialist training in aesthetic treatments. During your consultation, Shalu will assess your skin, discuss your goals, and determine whether Profhilo Structura is the right treatment for you.
Is Profhilo Structura right for you?
Profhilo Structura may be suitable for people who want to improve skin firmness and facial structure without adding volume. It can be particularly beneficial for individuals beginning to notice early signs of skin laxity or loss of definition.
A consultation allows your practitioner to assess your skin and discuss whether Profhilo Structura or another treatment may be the best option for your goals.
