Profhilo Structura
Profhilo Structura Treatment in Inverness | Glow Medspa
Profhilo Structura is an injectable treatment designed to support facial structure, skin quality and age-related volume loss. At Glow Medspa, a nurse-led aesthetic clinic in Inverness, Profhilo Structura is used as part of a personalised treatment plan to help restore facial balance while maintaining natural-looking results.
Unlike traditional dermal fillers that add volume to specific areas, Profhilo Structura works by supporting the deeper structures of the face and helping to improve skin firmness, hydration and tissue quality. The treatment contains stabilised hyaluronic acid, which helps support the skin and underlying tissues as they change with age.
Profhilo Structura is often chosen by patients seeking non-surgical facial rejuvenation and subtle improvements in facial contour without altering their natural features.
What concerns can Profhilo Structura treat?
Profhilo Structura may be recommended for patients experiencing:
• loss of facial volume
• early or moderate skin laxity
• softening of the jawline or cheeks
• reduced skin firmness
• structural changes associated with ageing
The treatment is commonly used as part of treatment plans for loss of volume and sagging skin, helping to support the face as underlying tissues change over time.
It is particularly suitable for patients who want subtle facial rejuvenation without significant volumisation.
How does Profhilo Structura work?
Profhilo Structura contains a specialised form of stabilised hyaluronic acid that works within deeper layers of the skin and supporting tissues.
Once injected, the product helps:
• support tissue structure
• improve skin hydration
• stimulate collagen and elastin production
• improve skin firmness and elasticity
By supporting both the skin and deeper tissues, Profhilo Structura helps create a more lifted and refreshed appearance while preserving natural facial movement.
What happens during the appointment?
Your appointment will begin with a consultation at our Inverness aesthetic clinic, where your practitioner will assess your facial anatomy and discuss your treatment goals.
If Profhilo Structura is suitable, the treatment involves a series of carefully placed injections into specific areas of the face.
The procedure typically takes 20–30 minutes.
Some patients may experience mild swelling or small bumps immediately after treatment, which usually settle within 24–48 hours.
Most patients are able to return to their usual daily activities shortly after treatment.
When will I see results?
Profhilo Structura works gradually as the skin and tissues respond to the stimulation of collagen and elastin.
A course of two treatments spaced several weeks apart is usually recommended.
Many patients notice improvements in skin firmness and facial contour over the following weeks, with results developing progressively as the skin regenerates.
Maintenance treatments may be recommended depending on individual skin concerns and ageing changes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Profhilo Structura the same as Profhilo?
While both treatments contain hyaluronic acid, Profhilo Structura is designed to provide additional structural support for the face, making it particularly suitable for patients experiencing facial volume loss and tissue changes.
Does Profhilo Structura add volume like dermal fillers?
Profhilo Structura does not add volume in the same way as dermal fillers. Instead, it helps support the skin and tissues to improve facial contour more subtly.
How long do results last?
Results vary between individuals, but many patients notice improvements for several months, depending on skin condition and lifestyle factors.
Can Profhilo Structura be combined with other treatments?
Yes. It is often combined with treatments such as dermal fillers, skin boosters or microneedling as part of a personalised treatment plan.
