At Trikwan Aesthetics, we’re known for offering some of the most advanced injectable treatments available. We carefully select the best treatments to meet the needs of our diverse patient base. Among the most talked-about options for skin quality and rejuvenation are Profhilo and its latest evolution, Profhilo Structura.
Both are highly effective injectable treatments that improve skin hydration, elasticity, and firmness. But what exactly sets them apart—and how do you know which one is right for you?
In this guide, we’ll break down the differences between Profhilo and Profhilo Structura. We are going to explain how they work, and help you understand the unique benefits of each.
What Is Profhilo?
Profhilo is a bioremodelling injectable treatment that contains one of the highest concentrations of hyaluronic acid (HA) on the market. Unlike traditional dermal fillers, it doesn’t add volume or shape the face. Instead, it spreads evenly throughout the skin to deeply hydrate, improve skin tone, and stimulate collagen and elastin production.
The result? A natural, lit-from-within glow and a noticeable improvement in skin texture and elasticity.
What Profhilo Treats:
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Skin laxity (particularly in the face, neck, hands, and décolletage)
- Dehydrated or dull-looking skin
- Ageing or thinning skin
The Technique:
Profhilo is injected using the BAP (Bio Aesthetic Points) technique. This involves five precise points on each side of the face. It ensures optimal diffusion of the product. The technique also minimises discomfort and downtime.
Introducing Profhilo Structura: A New Era in Skin Support
Profhilo Structura is a next-generation evolution of the original treatment. It targets deeper skin concerns and provides structural support. The treatment is ideal for areas prone to volume loss and laxity. These include the cheeks, temples, jawline, and chin.
While it’s still based on hyaluronic acid, Structura uses a different formulation known as Hybrid Technology, allowing it to penetrate deeper into the dermis and offer enhanced tissue remodelling.
Structura is still based on hyaluronic acid. However, it uses a different formulation called Hybrid Technology that allows it to penetrate deeper into the dermis. It also offers enhanced tissue remodelling for improved skin support.
What Makes Structura Different?
- Depth of Action: Structura is injected into deeper layers of the skin than the classic. It reaches the deep dermis and superficial subcutaneous layers, allowing for better support in structurally weakened areas.
- Targeted Support: Structura is designed to remain more localised. This allows it to build integrity and firmness where the skin needs more structure—such as sagging in the mid-face or hollowness in the temples.
- More Focused on Lifting and Firmness: While both treatments improve skin quality, Structura is better suited to rebuilding areas of lost volume and supporting facial structure, giving a subtly lifted, rejuvenated appearance.
Profhilo vs. Profhilo Structura: The Key Differences
Profhilo is designed to hydrate and improve skin texture by spreading evenly across the mid-dermis, making it ideal for treating dullness, fine lines, and general skin quality on the face, neck, and hands.
Structura, on the other hand, works at a deeper level using Hybrid Technology. It stays more localised to provide targeted support and firmness in areas prone to volume loss, such as the cheeks, jawline, and temples.
In short, Profhilo boosts hydration and glow, while Structura focuses on structural support and lifting where your skin needs it most.
Which One Is Right for You?
The decision between Profhilo and Profhilo Structura depends on your skin concerns, age, and aesthetic goals.
- If you’re in your late 20s to early 40s, and looking to improve hydration, smooth fine lines, or enhance glow, classic Profhilo is a brilliant option. It’s ideal for maintaining healthy, youthful skin and preventing the early signs of ageing.
- If you’re noticing volume loss, facial sagging, or deeper structural changes—particularly in your cheeks, lower face, or temples—then Structura may be more appropriate. It offers a subtle lift while also delivering all the skin-quality benefits Profhilo is known for.
At Trikwan, we often recommend combining both in a bespoke treatment plan. Classic Profhilo can be used to boost overall hydration and skin quality, while Structura can be strategically applied to target areas needing more definition and support.
What to Expect from Treatment
Both treatments are quick and minimally invasive, with little to no downtime. You may experience slight redness, swelling, or tenderness at the injection points, which typically subsides within 24–48 hours.
Results from Profhilo usually appear after two sessions spaced four weeks apart, with optimal results visible after the second treatment. Maintenance treatments are recommended every 6–9 months.
Structura follows a similar schedule but may vary depending on the treatment area and the level of correction needed. Your Trikwan doctor will create a personalised plan based on your unique facial anatomy and goals.
