Profhilo / Structura

Deep Hydration and Bio-Remodelling From Within

What It Is

Profhilo is an injectable bio-remodelling treatment containing one of the highest concentrations of hyaluronic acid available. Unlike fillers, it doesn’t add volume or reshape the face. Instead, it stimulates your body’s own production of collagen and elastin while delivering deep, lasting hydration to the skin.

What It Does

Skin becomes firmer, more hydrated, and visibly smoother as collagen and elastin production increases over the weeks following treatment. Profhilo improves overall skin quality, tone, and elasticity. Structura goes deeper, targeting facial fat pads to restore subtle volume and support from within.

The Approach

A typical course involves two sessions spaced around four weeks apart, with maintenance every six to twelve months. The treatment is quick, uses a specific injection technique, and requires no downtime. Dr Etok will recommend Profhilo, Structura, or both depending on your skin’s needs.

Is Profhilo / Structura Right For You?

Profhilo suits clients who want to improve overall skin quality, hydration, and firmness without adding volume or changing their facial shape. Structura is ideal for those noticing deeper structural changes such as facial hollowing or sagging. Both work well for clients who value natural, regenerative results and prefer treatments that enhance what’s already there rather than altering it.

THE TREATMENT PROCESS

Bio-Remodelling That Works With Your Skin’s Natural Biology

Profhilo is injected using a precise technique at specific points across the face, allowing the hyaluronic acid to spread evenly through the tissue. The treatment takes around 20 to 30 minutes with minimal discomfort. Structura follows a similar process but is placed deeper into the subcutaneous layer to target facial fat pads and restore structural support. Dr Etok will determine the right depth and approach for your skin.

Small bumps at the injection points are normal and typically settle within 24 hours. There is no significant downtime and most clients return to their usual activities immediately. Results develop gradually over the following weeks as your skin responds to the hyaluronic acid and begins producing new collagen and elastin. Optimal results are usually visible around four weeks after the second session, with improvements continuing for several months.

Answers to Common Questions About Your Treatment

Find helpful guidance on what to expect before and after your appointment. These answers are based on real questions from clients just like you.

Profhilo is injected into the dermis, the upper layers of the skin, where it improves hydration, firmness, and elasticity. Structura is a newer formulation designed for deeper injection into the subcutaneous fat pads. It targets age-related volume loss and facial sagging at a structural level. Both use the same patented NAHYCO technology, and Dr Etok may recommend one or both depending on your concerns.

Fillers add volume to specific areas and reshape facial contours. Profhilo does not add volume or change your facial shape. Instead, it bio-remodels the skin itself by stimulating collagen and elastin production and delivering deep hydration. The result is healthier, firmer skin rather than a change in facial structure.

A standard course consists of two sessions spaced approximately four weeks apart. Some clients benefit from a third session depending on their skin’s condition. After the initial course, maintenance treatments every six to twelve months help sustain and build on the results. Dr Etok will recommend the right schedule based on how your skin responds.

You may notice a subtle improvement in hydration and skin quality within the first week or two. However, the full effect develops gradually as collagen and elastin production increases. Most clients see optimal results around four weeks after their second session, with continued improvement in the months that follow.

There is no significant downtime. You may notice small bumps at the injection sites, which typically flatten within 24 hours. Mild redness or tenderness can occur but generally resolves quickly. Most clients return to their normal routine immediately. It is advisable to avoid strenuous exercise, saunas, and direct sun exposure for 24 to 48 hours.

The injections cause minimal discomfort. Most clients describe the sensation as a light pinch or brief pressure at each injection point. The treatment is quick, typically taking around 20 to 30 minutes, and no anaesthetic is usually required. If you have a lower pain threshold, Dr Etok can discuss comfort measures beforehand.

Yes, Profhilo and Structura work well alongside many other treatments. They complement bio-stimulators like Sculptra and Radiesse, skin regeneration treatments like polynucleotides and exosomes, and energy-based options like NeoGen Plasma. Dr Etok will advise on the best combination and timing as part of a phased treatment plan.

Profhilo is commonly used on the face but is also effective on areas traditionally considered difficult to treat, including the neck, decolletage, and hands. These areas often show signs of ageing early and respond well to the deep hydration and collagen stimulation that Profhilo provides. Dr Etok will assess which areas would benefit most during your consultation.
