Support Softer, More Natural Facial Contours
Changes in your face are not always about lines and wrinkles. You may notice that your cheeks look flatter, your face appears more hollow or your lower face feels less defined. These changes can reflect a loss of support beneath the skin.
Profhilo Structura is an injectable hyaluronic acid treatment designed to address age-related changes in superficial facial fat. This is the layer beneath the skin that contributes to facial fullness and contours. Treatment aims to improve the appearance of areas affected by these changes, particularly around the cheeks.
Although it belongs to the Profhilo family, Structura has a different purpose from standard Profhilo. Its focus goes beyond skin hydration to the tissues that help support your facial shape. Results develop gradually and vary between individuals.
At The Hamble Clinic in Aylesbury, Stuart Yeates assesses your face as a whole before recommending treatment. He will look at where changes have occurred and discuss the improvements that matter most to you.
The aim is a refreshed appearance that respects your natural features. Structura is a good choice for patients experiencing early facial hollowing or sagging.
A Treatment Plan Built Around Your Face
Perhaps your face looks more tired than you feel. You may have noticed a change in cheek fullness or a softer outline around your lower face. Understanding what is causing these changes is the first step towards choosing an appropriate treatment.
Stuart is an independent nurse prescriber with over 20 years of clinical experience. During your free consultation, he will assess your facial structure, skin and medical history. You can discuss your concerns openly and ask questions about the treatment, recovery and likely results.
He will also explain how Structura compares with other options. Standard Profhilo may be more suitable when hydration and skin quality are the main priorities. Dermal fillers may be considered when a particular area needs more precise volume or definition.
You will see Stuart for both your consultation and treatment. This personal approach helps keep your care consistent and gives you a clear point of contact afterwards. There is no pressure to proceed, and treatment will only be recommended where appropriate.

A course involves two treatments spaced four weeks apart, followed by maintenance sessions every 6–9 months.
The treatment is administered using a cannula and will take around 30 minutes in total.
Some people experience a small swelling where the product has been administered but this is temporary and normally resolved in a few hours after the treatment.
Results will last around 6-9 months.
Profhilo Structura is a very safe treatment but as with all injectable treatments there is always a small risk of mild swelling and bruising from the injection site.
Immediately after the treatment it is recommended to not touch the area or place any pressure to the treatment site. It is sensible to avoid rigorous exercise for 24 hours post treatment.
Frequently asked questions
Is Profhilo Structura a dermal filler?
Structura contains hyaluronic acid, as do many dermal fillers, but its formulation and intended use differ. It is designed to treat changes in superficial facial fat. Traditional fillers are used more precisely to add volume, define features or soften particular folds.
Does Profhilo Structura add volume?
Structura aims to improve the appearance of fullness and support where age-related changes have affected superficial facial fat. This differs from using a dermal filler to create a specific cheek shape or projection. Stuart will explain the degree of change that may be realistic for your face.
Can Profhilo Structura help with jowls?
It may be an option where early sagging is associated with changes in facial fat and support. However, jowls can develop for several reasons. Structura will not remove excess skin or reproduce a surgical facelift. An assessment is needed to establish whether it could help.
Can Profhilo Structura be used under the eyes?
Profhilo Structura is not used directly under the eyes at The Hamble Clinic. It is not a tear trough treatment. If dark circles, under-eye hollows or fine lines are your main concern, Stuart can assess the area and discuss more suitable options.
When will I see results from Profhilo Structura?
Results develop over the weeks following treatment. Some changes may become noticeable after the first session, with further improvement after the initial course. Early swelling is not the final result. Stuart will advise when to review your progress.
What is the difference between Profhilo and Profhilo Structura?
Standard Profhilo focuses on skin hydration, elasticity and quality. Structura targets age-related changes in the superficial facial fat that contributes to facial support and contours. One is not automatically better than the other. The right choice depends on your concerns and assessment. Read out guide to the difference between Profhilo & Profhilo Structura.
