Profhilo Structura is newer than Profhilo, and the names cause a lot of confusion. They’re from the same family, but they do different jobs. Here is how I explain it in clinic.
The short version
Profhilo improves the fabric. Structura supports what’s underneath.
- Profhilo works in the skin. It is for skin quality: hydration, fine lines, crepiness and glow.
- Profhilo Structura works deeper, within the fat pads at the sides of the face, where it acts as a scaffold. It is for support, where the face has started to hollow or sag and the jawline has softened.
Who Structura suits
It’s ideal if you’re noticing the early signs of ageing that are about structure, not skin: a little sinking in the mid-face, the beginnings of jowls, a jawline that isn’t as defined as it was.
It helps to create a subtle, natural lift without adding volume. That last part matters. It isn’t filler, and it won’t change the shape of your face.
How the treatment works
- Two sessions, 4 weeks apart.
- Price: £300 a session.
- Consultation first: £30, and it comes off your treatment.
Using the two together
The two products work beautifully together, because most faces need a bit of both: better skin, and better support underneath it.
My Sculpt & Shine package combines them. You have two sessions of each, alternating every two weeks: Profhilo, then Structura two weeks later, then Profhilo, then Structura. Each product’s own two sessions are still 4 weeks apart. You can see what’s included on my packages page.
Structura or filler?
If you’ve lost a lot of volume, in the cheeks for example, filler may still be the better answer, because it replaces what has gone. Structura is for earlier changes, when you want support and lift without adding anything you can see. It suits people who tell me they’d like to look a little fresher but are scared of going too far.
I’ll tell you which I’d choose at your consultation, and why.

Your questions
Is Profhilo Structura a filler?
No. It supports the face from within, but it doesn’t add volume or change your shape the way filler does.
How long does it last?
Skin boosters generally last about 6 months, and I’ll tell you what to expect for you at your consultation.
Can I have Structura without having Profhilo?
Yes. They can be used separately. I’ll recommend one, the other or both, depending on what your skin and your face need.
