Introducing Profhilo® Structura, a groundbreaking injectable treatment designed to rejuvenate and hydrate your skin. As a leading cosmetic injectables clinic, Jeunesse MedSpa® is proud to offer this innovative solution to our patients.
What is Profhilo® Structura?
Profhilo® Structura is a cutting-edge unique hyaluronic acid (HA) gel injectable treatment specifically designed to restore facial volume and redefine facial contours. It is the only product on the market to reverse the ageing of the fat cells in the face. It targets the superficial fat layers of the face, restoring volume and natural contours that are often lost due to ageing. This innovative treatment helps address critical age-related concerns such as pronounced facial hollows, skin laxity (loose, crepe-like skin) and altered facial contours resulting from midface fat loss. Unlike traditional fillers, Profhilo® Structura does not add volume but instead works from within to enhance your skin’s natural structure.
The Importance of Superficial Facial Fat for a Youthful Appearance
Superficial fat is a key component in maintaining a youthful, lifted appearance. Here’s why it matters:
Volume & Structure: Like a supportive foundation, superficial fat gives your skin volume and helps it resist sagging. As we age, this fat diminishes, leading to a loss of youthful contours.
Youthful Contours: The natural distribution of superficial fat creates attractive facial contours, such as defined cheeks and a sculpted jawline. Over time, fat redistribution and loss can lead to sagging and hollowed areas, even disrupting facial symmetry.
Wrinkle Reduction: Superficial fat acts like a natural cushion, minimizing wrinkles and fine lines. As this fat disappears, skin loses support, becoming more susceptible to sagging, creasing, and wrinkling.
Benefits of Profhilo® Structura?
Restoration of Facial Fat: This treatment effectively addresses midface volume loss and other age-related concerns.
Long-lasting Results: Clinical studies show that 95% of patients noticed lasting enhancements after the first treatment, with improvements sustained three months later.
Natural Appearance: Profhilo® Structura offers subtle, natural-looking enhancements without the appearance of artificial fillers.
Who is Profhilo® Structura for?
This treatment is ideal for individuals who are experiencing midface volume loss, skin laxity, or a square facial shape due to aging or weight loss. Profhilo® Structura is also an excellent option for those looking to achieve a more youthful appearance without the use of traditional fillers or surgical procedures. The treatment is suitable for both men and women and can be tailored to meet the unique needs of each patient. As we age, the face undergoes various changes, often resulting in two predominant ageing profiles: “sinkers” and “saggers.”
Sinkers: Individuals with a “sinker” profile typically exhibit a hollow or sunken appearance due to the depletion of adipose tissue in areas like the cheeks. This loss of volume can create pronounced facial hollows, making the face appear gaunt and aged.
Saggers: Those with a “sagger” profile often experience tissue droop and fat bulges. The tissues appear to slide away from the underlying bone structure, leading to increased laxity and sagging skin. This can result in a heavier, more aged look, especially in the lower face.
Profhilo® Structura addresses both of these ageing profiles by either replenishing lost volume in “sinkers” or lifting and tightening sagging tissues in “saggers,” providing a balanced, youthful appearance. Your ageing profile will be assessed at your initial consultation.
The ideal patients are characterised as either Sinkers or Saggers.
If you have a thinner skin and tissue density, increased visibility of your underlying bone structure giving a sunken in or hollowed out appearance you are more than likely a Sinker.
While if your skin is thicker or denser, there is some laxity, and your jowls are an area of concern, or you feel heavier towards the lower half of your face, you might be a Sagger.
These categories simply help guide the Practitioner in their treatment approach but each treatment will be tailored to the your specific needs.
The result will be “lipolifting” without widening of your face which can sometimes occur with traditional fillers.
A typical Profhilo® Structura treatment consists of two sessions spaced one month apart. The injections are administered along the cheek bone and/or in the preauricular area using a specific protocol that evaluates facial structure, including midface projection, hollows, laxity, and skin density. The procedure is minimally invasive with little to no downtime, allowing you to resume their daily activities immediately after the appointment.
Profhilo® Structura is clinically proven to restore superficial fat to its original position, effectively tackling age-related concerns like pronounced facial hollows, skin laxity, and the development of a squarer facial shape resulting from midface fat loss.
95% of patients noticed lasting enhancements in the mid-face area after the first treatment. This improvement was sustained three months later, highlighting the lasting benefits of Profhilo® Structura. Profhilo® Structura is a natural and regenerative option for those desiring subtle enhancements without drastically altering their appearance.
Profhilo® and Profhilo® Structura have different rheological properties and benefits. Profhilo® is injected into the dermis where it is clinically proven to provide tissue restoration without volumisation. It does this by waking up dormant fibroblast tissue to regenerate collagen and elastin, visibly improving the skin’s firmness, texture, and hydration. Profhilo® Structura, on the other hand, is designed for deeper structural remodeling and is injected into the subcutaneous layers. It is clinically proven to reposition and regenerate the dynamic superficial fat pads located beneath the skin and connective tissue, and above the muscle and deep fat layers. Its advanced compatibility with fat cells helps counteract the flattening of facial angles and tissue descent that naturally occurs over time, resulting in a more lifted, contoured, and rejuvenated facial profile. Both treatments offer unique benefits tailored to different skin concerns and treatment areas, ensuring a comprehensive approach to skin rejuvenation and age management.
