If you’ve been exploring skin boosters, you’ve likely come across Profhilo® classic a treatment known for its incredible ability to hydrate, plump, and restore natural glow to tired, dehydrated skin.
But now there’s a NEW addition to the Profhilo® family: Profhilo® Structura, and we’re proud to offer both here at Luminous Skin.
So, what’s the difference? And how do you know which one might be best for you? Let’s take a closer look.
First, What Is Profhilo® Classic?
Profhilo® is often described as a skin booster, but it’s really a bio-remodelling treatment. That means it doesn’t act like a filler (adding volume), and it doesn’t relax muscles like wrinkle relaxers, instead, it works with your skin to stimulate collagen and elastin, restoring hydration and elasticity over time.
It contains one of the highest concentrations of pure hyaluronic acid on the market and spreads beautifully across the skin, making it ideal for treating areas like the face, neck, décolletage, and hands.
Why Clients Love Profhilo® Classic
✔ Hydration from Within: If your skin’s feeling dull, dry, or just a little lacklustre, Profhilo® delivers a deep boost of hydration to restore your natural glow and leave your skin looking fresh, dewy, and revitalised.
✔ Gentle Anti-Ageing Support: By stimulating your body’s own collagen and elastin, Profhilo® helps smooth fine lines and improve skin firmness - all while enhancing your skin’s natural bounce and elasticity.
✔ Quick & Minimally Invasive: With just a few precise injection points, Profhilo® is a fast, straightforward treatment with little to no downtime - so you can get back to your day feeling confident.
✔ Beautifully Natural Results: Profhilo® doesn’t change the way you look - it simply improves the quality of your skin from the inside out, leaving you looking refreshed, not altered.
So, What Makes Profhilo® Structura Different?
Profhilo® Structura builds on everything we love about the original Profhilo® - but with a twist. While Profhilo® focuses on overall hydration and glow, Structura goes deeper - targeting volume loss and structural changes that happen as we age.
Think of it as a more focused version of Profhilo®, designed to strengthen and support the deeper layers of your skin, especially the superficial fat pads that give your face its youthful shape.
It still contains pure hyaluronic acid but is formulated to stimulate regeneration in the areas that provide structure and firmness, not just surface hydration. It’s a little like going from simply watering the topsoil… to nourishing the roots.
Our Favourite Analogy: The Raisin and the Grape
To explain the difference in a way that really clicks with clients, we love this visual:
If Profhilo® is like giving a dry grapevine a good drink, restoring plumpness and glow to the skin… then Profhilo® Structura is like plumping up a raisin back into a grape -restoring structure, not just moisture.
It helps reverse the subtle hollowing, thinning, and facial fatigue that often starts in our late 30s and 40s, especially around the cheeks, temples, and jawline.
Why Clients Choose Profhilo® Structura:
✔ Support for Thinning Skin: If your skin is starting to feel thinner, more fragile, or you’re noticing a loss of facial definition, Profhilo® Structura offers deeper, regenerative support to strengthen and rebuild from within.
✔ Lift Without Volume: Unlike traditional fillers, Profhilo® Structura works by restoring the superficial fat layers of the face - helping to gently lift and recontour without adding heaviness or changing the way you look.
✔ Rebuilds Skin Structure: With a high concentration of hyaluronic acid, this advanced treatment stimulates collagen, elastin, and fat cell regeneration to improve skin firmness, texture, and overall quality.
✔ Subtle, Natural Results: Ideal for those wanting to address early signs of sagging or volume loss in a beautifully natural way, Profhilo® Structura restores youthful contours while keeping your features uniquely yours.
