Profhilo is often described as a treatment for improving skin quality, but understanding where it fits — and how it differs from Profhilo Structura, dermal fillers and other injectable treatments — is much more useful than simply knowing the treatment name.
In these guides, Dr Suresh Mohan explains what Profhilo is designed to do, what kind of changes patients may realistically notice, what to expect after treatment and how to look after the skin during the first few days.
You will also find detailed comparisons between Profhilo and Profhilo Structura. Although the names are similar, they are not intended to do exactly the same job. The right choice depends on whether the main concern is skin quality, hydration, laxity, loss of support or changes in facial structure.
As always, the starting point should be the concern you would actually like to improve. Different treatments solve different problems, and an individual assessment is more useful than choosing a treatment simply because it is popular.
If you are new to Profhilo, these are some of the most useful guides to begin with:
Many patients are not deciding between treatment and no treatment — they are trying to understand which approach is most appropriate for the changes they are noticing.
Profhilo Structura deserves particular explanation because, despite sharing the Profhilo name, it is not simply a stronger version of standard Profhilo.
Structura is intended for different concerns, particularly where changes in deeper facial tissue and support are relevant. If you are deciding between the two, start with our Profhilo vs Profhilo Structura guide, which explains how their roles differ and why assessment matters.
