Profhilo Structura: The Evolution of Bio-Remodelling
Profhilo Structura 1x2ml from IBSA is the latest innovation in the Profhilo family – and a paradigm shift in aesthetic medicine. While the classic Profhilo H+L is designed for skin tightening and bio-remodelling without volume, Profhilo Structura combines NAHYCO technology with structural volume building for the first time.
What makes Profhilo Structura unique?
NAHYCO Hybrid Technology
Profhilo Structura is based on IBSA's patented NAHYCO technology (Native Hybrid Cooperative) – a thermal cross-linking of high-molecular and low-molecular hyaluronic acid without chemical cross-linking agents (no BDDE).
- HA concentration: 32 mg/ml (highest concentration in the Profhilo family)
- Cross-linking: Thermal (NAHYCO) – no BDDE, no chemical cross-linking agents
- Consistency: Firm enough for structural support, soft enough for natural movement
Profhilo Structura vs. Profhilo H+L: The Comparison
| Feature | Profhilo Structura | Profhilo H+L |
|---|---|---|
| HA Concentration | 32 mg/ml | 32 mg/ml (64mg/2ml) |
| Cross-linking | NAHYCO (thermal) | NAHYCO (thermal) |
| BDDE | No | No |
| Primary effect | Volume + Structure | Bio-Remodelling + Tightening |
| Injection depth | Deep subcutaneous / supraperiosteal | Subcutaneous (BAP technique) |
| Duration of effect | Up to 6 months | Up to 6 months |
| Sessions | 2 (4 weeks apart) | 2 (4 weeks apart) |
Indications for Profhilo Structura
- Cheek volume and midface lift
- Sagging skin with volume loss (not just tightening needs)
- Patients who desire natural volume without a classic filler look
- Combination with Profhilo H+L for maximum bio-remodelling + volume
- Neck and décolleté with volume loss
The Combination Protocol: Structura + H+L
The combination of both Profhilo products is the most advanced bio-remodelling protocol on the market:
- Session 1: Profhilo Structura (deep, structural) + Profhilo H+L (superficial, tightening)
- Session 2 (4 weeks later): Repeat
- Result: Maximum tightening + natural volume + bio-remodelling
Why NAHYCO without BDDE?
Classic fillers are chemically cross-linked with BDDE (Butanediol Diglycidyl Ether). IBSA has developed an alternative with NAHYCO that does not require this chemical cross-linker – with a potentially better biocompatibility profile and more natural integration into the tissue.
Conclusion for Practice
Profhilo Structura closes the gap between classic bio-remodelling (Profhilo H+L) and structural fillers. For patients who desire natural volume without a classic filler look, it is the ideal solution.
