About Profhilo Structura

Profhilo Structura is an injectable treatment designed to support the superficial fat layers that help give the face its natural shape and support.

While traditional Profhilo focuses primarily on skin hydration and skin quality, Profhilo Structura has been developed for people who are noticing changes in facial support and definition over time. It is designed to target the superficial fat layers that contribute to the contours of the cheeks, jawline, and lower face.

You may not be able to put your finger on exactly what’s changed, but you simply feel that your face looks softer, flatter, or less defined than it once did. Perhaps your cheeks don’t seem as supported as they used to, or your jawline isn’t quite as defined as before.

Many people are interested in Profhilo Structura because they feel they need more than hydration alone, but don’t necessarily want traditional dermal fillers.

At Medikaur, treatment is never viewed in isolation. Jane takes time to understand what’s changed, what’s bothering you, and whether Profhilo Structura is genuinely the right option for your face.

The goal is never to make you look different. It’s to support your natural features in a way that feels balanced, subtle, and recognisably you.

You may be a suitable candidate for Profhilo Structura if you want to...

  • Support areas of your face that feel less defined than they once did
  • Address early changes in facial structure
  • Improve facial balance without obvious volume enhancement
  • Explore options beyond skin hydration alone
  • Maintain natural movement and expression
  • Choose a treatment that focuses on subtle, gradual improvement

My husband and I both visit Medikaur for all of our aesthetic and skin care needs. Jane always listens to our concerns, and gives great advice, never giving us a really ‘done look’ - just a light helping hand to look and feel our best. Our friends can’t work out why we look so well-rested and youthful, despite having stressful jobs and a hectic family life!”

HAVE A QUESTION?

qUICK ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE

Both treatments are part of the Profhilo family, but they have been designed for different concerns.

Profhilo is primarily used to improve skin hydration, skin quality, and overall skin health.

Profhilo Structura focuses on something different. It has been developed to target the superficial fat layers that help support the natural shape and contours of the face.

Simply put, Profhilo is generally selected when skin quality is the primary concern, while Profhilo Structura may be considered when your face has started to look softer, flatter, or less defined than it once did.

Dermal fillers are often used to restore volume, support, or definition in a particular area of the face.

Profhilo Structura was developed with a different goal in mind. Rather than focusing on one specific feature, it targets the superficial fat layers that help support the overall shape of the face.

You might think of fillers as being used to enhance or support a particular area, while Profhilo Structura is often considered when the face as a whole feels softer, flatter, or less supported than it did in the past.

For some people, fillers may be the most appropriate option. For others, Profhilo Structura may be a better fit. Sometimes a combination approach is recommended.

This is something Jane will assess carefully during your consultation.

That is always the aim.

Most people who enquire about Profhilo Structura aren’t looking to change their appearance. They simply want to feel that their face reflects how they feel inside.

The treatment is designed to support natural facial contours rather than create obvious volume or dramatic change.

Jane’s approach is always to work with your existing features, helping you look refreshed and well supported while still looking completely like yourself.

Most treatment plans begin with two sessions, usually spaced about four weeks apart.

The exact approach will depend on the shape and structure of your face, the changes you’re noticing, and what you’re hoping to achieve.

During your consultation, Jane will explain what she feels is likely to give you the most natural and balanced result.

Yes, sometimes.

Although they are part of the same treatment family, they are designed to address different concerns.

Profhilo focuses on skin hydration and skin quality, while Profhilo Structura focuses on supporting the superficial fat layers that contribute to facial shape and support.

Because of this, some people benefit from both treatments as part of a broader treatment plan.

Jane will discuss whether this may be appropriate for you during your consultation.

Significant weight loss can sometimes affect the face, leaving it looking flatter, softer, or more hollow than before.

You may have heard people refer to this as “Ozempic face”, as it’s a common concern among people taking GLP-1 weight loss medications such as Ozempic or Mounjaro. In reality, these changes can occur after any significant weight loss, regardless of how the weight was lost.

Profhilo Structura may be one option that Jane discusses if you’ve noticed these types of changes.

However, every face is different, and the most appropriate approach will depend on the extent of the changes and the result you’re hoping to achieve.

This is why a personalised consultation is always the best place to start.

Not necessarily.

The treatment may be suitable for people who are noticing changes in facial support, contour, or definition, but it won’t be the right option for everyone.

Jane will assess your facial structure, skin quality, medical history, and treatment goals before making a recommendation.

Sometimes Profhilo Structura will be the best fit. Sometimes another treatment may be more appropriate. Her priority is helping you choose the option that is most likely to achieve the result you’re looking for.

MEET YOUR CLINICIAN

Jane Paterson

Profhilo Structura is one of those treatments where understanding facial anatomy and ageing patterns matters just as much as the treatment itself.

Many people assume they need more volume when what they’re actually noticing is a gradual loss of support. Knowing the difference requires careful assessment and an understanding of how the skin, fat layers, and facial structure work together.

Jane takes time to look at your face as a whole rather than focusing on a single feature. She considers how your face has changed, what is causing the concerns you’ve noticed, and whether Profhilo Structura is genuinely the right option for you.

This is particularly important with treatments such as Profhilo Structura, which are designed to support the superficial fat layers that contribute to facial shape and contour. Understanding where support has changed, and whether this is genuinely the cause of the changes you’ve noticed, requires both experience and clinical judgement.

Jane is an Advanced Aesthetic Nurse Practitioner with more than 20 years of clinical experience and is a respected trainer and mentor within the aesthetics industry. She regularly teaches advanced facial assessment, anatomy, and injectable techniques to other practitioners.

Her aim is never to make you look different. It’s to help you look refreshed, supported, and completely like yourself.
