Profhilo vs. Profhilo Structura: What's the Difference and Which Should You Choose?
Profhilo has been a popular skin treatment for several years, offering hydration, skin remodeling, and collagen stimulation. Recently, however, the company introduced Profhilo Structura, a more advanced option. But how does Profhilo Structura differ from the original treatment, and when should you opt for one over the other? Dr. Kim Booysen, offering both treatments at her clinics in Bromley and Beckenham, explains the key distinctions below.
Key Differences Between Profhilo and Profhilo Structura
Both Profhilo and Profhilo Structura are based on hyaluronic acid (HA) technology, but they differ in structure, purpose, and application.
1. Formulation and Structure
Profhilo: This treatment contains a blend of high molecular weight (HMW) and low molecular weight (LMW) hyaluronic acid. It is designed primarily for hydration, bio-remodeling, and skin quality improvement without adding volume to the skin.
Profhilo Structura: While it also uses hyaluronic acid, Structura has a more robust structure, providing greater lift and contour to the skin. It's more focused on structural support rather than just hydration and skin texture improvement.
2. Purpose and Application
Profhilo: Best for those looking to improve skin hydration, elasticity, and stimulate collagen production. It's ideal for people with early signs of aging or mild skin laxity, and is commonly used on the face, neck, and hands.
Profhilo Structura: Designed for people who need intensive lifting and facial remodeling. It targets deeper skin tissues and provides pronounced tightening and lifting effects, especially in areas with severe sagging or volume loss, such as the jawline and cheeks. Profhilo Structura differentiates between Sinkers and Saggers, but both patients are ideal for Profhilo Structura treatment.
3. Longevity and Results
Profhilo: Typically, patients need fewer sessions, with results focused on improving skin hydration, glow, and fine lines.
Profhilo Structura: The effects last longer due to its stronger lifting and volumizing properties, making it ideal for those seeking more structural skin support.
4. Injection Technique
Profhilo: This treatment is administered through bio-aesthetic points (BAP) to ensure the even distribution of hyaluronic acid across the face.
Profhilo Structura: This requires more targeted injections, focusing on specific areas needing more significant lifting or contouring.
In summary, Profhilo Structura is designed for those needing more dramatic skin lifting, structural support, and contouring, while Profhilo is aimed at improving skin texture, hydration, and fine lines. Both products complement each other, with Structura being the more intensive option.
