Who is Profhilo Structura for?
The people who ask about Structura at MediZen are usually not chasing a dramatic change. More often it is someone who has noticed their face looks flatter and more tired than they feel, with cheeks that have lost their gentle fullness and a hollow that has crept in beneath the eyes. If your face has started to look sunken or drawn, and you want it to look rested and supported rather than reshaped, this is the treatment we most often talk through.
Structura tends to suit patients concerned with:
- Flattening of the cheeks and loss of midface fullness
- A hollow, sunken look beneath the eyes and across the mid-face
- Early structural laxity you would rather support before it deepens
- A generally tired-looking face that no cream seems to lift
It is worth being honest about what Structura will not do. Because it is regenerative rather than a traditional filler, it will not sharpen a cheekbone, define a jawline or plump a lip in a single visit. Deeper folds and sharp contouring usually call for dermal fillers, and lines driven by muscle movement are a different job again. If skin quality rather than structure is your main concern, classic Profhilo may be the better starting point. Every course begins with a face-to-face medical assessment so you know before anyone picks up a needle whether Structura is right for you. [Placeholder copy for review.]
What is Profhilo Structura?
Profhilo Structura is built on hyaluronic acid, the same water-loving molecule your skin already uses to hold onto moisture. What sets it apart from classic Profhilo is where it works. Structura is placed deeper, in the subcutaneous fat layer of the face, where it helps restore and reposition the superficial fat that shrinks and drifts with age. The result is a softer, better-supported midface, with pronounced hollows and sunken contours gently lifted rather than filled.
Because it is hyaluronic acid based, Structura also hydrates and improves the quality of the overlying skin as it works, much the way regular Profhilo does. For now it is used on the face alone. It is regenerative, so the change builds gradually over the weeks after each session rather than appearing on the day, which is part of why the result reads as your own face looking rested rather than anything obviously done.

Structura and classic Profhilo: better together
Structura and classic Profhilo are designed to complement each other rather than compete. Classic Profhilo works in the more superficial layers to hydrate the skin and stimulate collagen, improving tone, glow and fine crepiness. Structura works deeper, supporting the structure beneath. Treated as a pair, over a considered plan, they address both the quality of the skin and the support behind it.
Structura also combines well with skin-tightening work. Many of our patients build a plan across the year that pairs it with treatments such as Secret PRO radiofrequency or doctor-led anti-wrinkle injections, so that structure, skin quality and movement lines are each treated in the right way. Your practitioner will map out the order that makes sense for you at your consultation. [Placeholder copy.]
Profhilo Structura vs classic Profhilo: which do you need?
People often arrive unsure whether they need Structura or classic Profhilo, and the honest answer is that the two do different jobs. Both are regenerative hyaluronic acid treatments from the same family. One works deeper to support structure, the other works more superficially to improve skin quality. Here is a straight comparison so you can see which fits what is actually bothering you, or whether a combination makes more sense. [Placeholder values below to be confirmed.]

Profhilo Structura FAQs
Still weighing up Profhilo Structura in Birmingham? These are the questions our patients ask most about the treatment itself. For questions about cost, how it compares to classic Profhilo, or a particular concern, see the section just below. [Placeholder FAQs, to be expanded with final content.]
Profhilo Structura is the regenerative version of Profhilo that works deeper, in the fat layer of the face. It helps restore and reposition the superficial fat that shrinks with age, which supports and lifts a sunken or hollow midface rather than filling it. At MediZen it is delivered by a doctor or nurse.
Both are regenerative hyaluronic acid treatments, but they work at different depths. Classic Profhilo works more superficially to hydrate the skin and improve its quality, while Structura works deeper to restore structural support to the midface. Many people benefit from both over time, and your practitioner will help you choose at your consultation.
No. Although it is hyaluronic acid based like a filler, Structura is regenerative and works with your own tissue to restore support rather than adding a fixed volume at a point. If your goal is sharp definition of a cheekbone or jawline, dermal fillers are the better tool, and the two can be used together.
For now, Structura is used on the face, and the midface in particular, where loss of structural support tends to show first. Your practitioner will confirm which areas are worth treating at your consultation.
Most people find it very tolerable. Structura is delivered through fine needles into a small number of mapped points, so you may feel a short sting or scratch that passes quickly. Topical anaesthetic is available if you would like it.
Most people start with two sessions about four weeks apart, followed by maintenance. Your exact plan depends on your face and is agreed at your consultation. [Placeholder: confirm protocol.]
Structura is regenerative, so the support and lift build gradually over the weeks after each session rather than appearing on the day, and the best of the result shows once the initial course is complete. [Placeholder: confirm how long results last.]
Hyaluronic acid is a substance your skin already contains, and Structura has a strong safety profile when it is administered by a trained medical professional. At MediZen it is always doctor or nurse led, and we are registered with the Care Quality Commission. The NHS sets out sensible questions to ask before any procedure on its cosmetic procedures pages, and we are happy to answer all of them at your consultation.
No. As with most injectable treatments, we do not offer Structura during pregnancy or while breastfeeding, simply because it has not been tested in these groups and we prefer to err on the side of caution. A course of HydraFacial is a gentle option in the meantime, and we can pick the conversation up when the time is right.
Structura for your concern and costs
Wondering whether Structura suits your concern, how it compares, or what it costs at our Birmingham and Sutton Coldfield clinics? These are the questions we hear most. [Placeholder, pricing answers to follow.]
[Placeholder. Final Structura pricing to be provided.] Because it works best as a short course rather than a single session, we agree the full plan and price at your consultation. You can see the detail on our full price list, or ask about memberships and packages.
Yes. Structura is available at both of our clinics, so whether Birmingham or Sutton Coldfield is easier for you, you will see the same doctor and nurse team and follow the same clinical standards. Just tell us which location suits you when you book.
It depends on what is bothering you most. If your main concern is a flat or sunken midface, Structura is usually the starting point; if it is dull, lax or crepey skin, classic Profhilo may come first. Many people end up having both across the year, and your consultation is exactly where we work out the right order for you.
Yes, and many of our patients do. Structura restores support, dermal fillers add targeted volume, and anti-wrinkle injections soften movement lines, so together they cover different signs of ageing. We usually stagger them a couple of weeks apart so each can be assessed on its own.
Give yourself time. Because the benefit builds over the weeks after treatment, book your first session well ahead of a wedding, holiday or big occasion, and ideally complete your course beforehand, so your face is at its best on the day rather than still settling.
Downtime is minimal. You can return to work the same day, and any small bumps or tenderness at the injection points settle within a few hours to a day. We ask you to avoid makeup, saunas, strenuous exercise and facials for the first 24 hours while the product settles.
