Understanding Structura
What is Profhilo Structura?
Profhilo Structura is an evolution of the original Profhilo by IBSA. Where standard Profhilo works in the superficial layer to remodel and hydrate the skin, Structura uses a thermally-stabilised hybrid hyaluronic acid placed in the deep, structural plane — close to the bone — to restore firmness and support in areas where fat pads and tissue have descended with age.
Crucially, it is not a volumising filler. Structura provides a structural, bio-stimulating scaffold that encourages the tissue’s own firmness while triggering collagen, elastin and adipocyte support — a regenerative, natural approach to facial laxity and flattening.
Deep structural support
Placed in the supra-periosteal plane to firm areas of tissue descent — mid-face, cheeks, jaw.
Bio-stimulation
Stimulates collagen, elastin and fat-cell support for a regenerative, natural result.
Complements Profhilo
Often paired with standard Profhilo — Structura for deep firmness, Profhilo for surface glow.
Not a filler
Restores support and firmness rather than projecting volume like a dermal filler.
The Science
How does Profhilo Structura work?
Structura’s thermally-stabilised hybrid hyaluronic acid is engineered to stay where it is placed in the deep tissue, providing a firm, hydrating, bio-stimulating scaffold. Over the weeks following treatment it stimulates fibroblasts and supporting cells to reinforce the skin’s structural matrix — improving firmness and the appearance of mild laxity without the look of added volume.
Consultation & assessment
Dr Azra assesses tissue firmness and descent and decides whether Structura, standard Profhilo, or both suit you.
Targeted deep placement
Structura is placed at defined deep points with a fine needle or cannula in a comfortable session.
Two-session protocol
A second session about 4 weeks later completes the standard protocol.
Firming & maintenance
Firmness builds over 4–6 weeks; maintenance roughly every 6 months sustains it.
Evidence
What the science says
Profhilo and the Structura line are built on IBSA’s patented NAHYCO hyaluronic-acid technology, well documented to bio-remodel tissue and stimulate collagen and elastin without acting as a traditional filler. Structura extends that approach to the deep structural layer. As with all injectables, safe deep placement requires thorough anatomical knowledge — which is why Structura at our clinics is performed only by Dr Azra Vaziri.
Who treats you
Trained by IBSA on Profhilo — who injects your Structura
Structura is placed deeper than standard Profhilo and in a different plane, which is the entire reason the two products behave differently.
Every Profhilo Structura Dubai — Deep Structural Bio-Remodelling appointment at this clinic is assessed and injected by Dr Azra Vaziri herself — a DHA- and DOH-licensed aesthetic physician with more than 20 years of experience, practising aesthetic medicine since 2004.

Candidacy
Who is Profhilo Structura for?
Structura suits adults who notice early tissue descent and mild laxity — a softening of the mid-face, flattening cheeks or a less defined jawline — and who prefer a regenerative, natural firmness over the projected volume of a dermal filler. It is a particularly good fit for people who already like the skin-quality benefit of standard Profhilo but want deeper structural support as well.
Good candidates
Mild to moderate laxity, healthy skin, realistic expectations, and a preference for a subtle, buildable result rather than an immediate filler look.
Better suited to another plan
Significant volume loss or advanced sagging may respond better to biostimulators, fillers or energy-based tightening — Dr Azra will say so honestly at consultation.
Read moreShow less
Structura is not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding, over an active skin infection or breakout in the treatment area, or where there is a known allergy to hyaluronic acid. Tell Dr Azra about autoimmune conditions, a tendency to keloid scarring, or any blood-thinning medication so your plan and timing can be adjusted.
Safety
Risks, side effects & why placement matters
Profhilo Structura has a well-tolerated safety profile, and the hyaluronic acid it uses is naturally broken down by the body over time. The most common effects are expected and short-lived: small raised areas at the injection points, mild swelling, tenderness or the occasional bruise, all of which usually settle within a few days.
Less common risks — as with any injectable — include a small lump that takes longer to soften, temporary asymmetry, or, rarely, infection. Because Structura is placed in the deep, supra-periosteal plane close to important vessels, safe treatment depends on precise anatomical knowledge; this is exactly why it is performed only by Dr Azra Vaziri rather than a non-medical injector. If you have had previous filler or biostimulator treatment in the same area, mention it at consultation so placement can be planned around it.
Medical note: injectable treatments carry individual risks that cannot all be listed here. A one-to-one consultation with Dr Azra is the only way to confirm whether Structura is right and safe for you.
What to expect
Your Profhilo Structura session, results & aftercare
A Profhilo Structura session takes about 20–30 minutes. After numbing cream, Dr Azra places the thermally-stabilised hyaluronic acid at a small number of defined deep points using a fine needle or cannula, where it provides structural support and a bio-stimulating scaffold.
Small raised areas at the injection points are expected and usually flatten within a day; mild swelling or the occasional bruise can occur and settle within a few days. A subtle lift and firmer feel develop as the gel integrates, with the deeper firming and collagen response building over 4–6 weeks after the second session.
Aftercare: avoid make-up and exercise for 24 hours, avoid heat and direct sun for 48 hours, do not massage the deep injection points, and avoid alcohol and blood thinners for a day or two. The protocol is two sessions about four weeks apart, often alongside standard Profhilo, with maintenance roughly every six months.
FAQ
Profhilo Structura — frequently asked questions
What is Profhilo Structura?
It is a thermally-stabilised hybrid hyaluronic acid from IBSA placed in the deep structural layer to restore firmness and stimulate collagen where tissue has descended — complementing standard Profhilo.
How is Structura different from standard Profhilo?
Standard Profhilo works superficially for glow and surface laxity; Structura works deep for structural firmness and support. They are often combined.
Is Profhilo Structura a filler?
No. It provides structural support and bio-stimulation rather than projecting volume like a dermal filler, so the result is firmer, not fuller.
How many sessions do I need?
The standard protocol is 2 sessions about 4 weeks apart, with maintenance roughly every 6 months.
When will I see results and how long do they last?
Firmness builds over 4–6 weeks after the protocol and typically lasts around 6 months.
Who is a good candidate?
Those with mild facial laxity or tissue descent who want a regenerative, natural firmness rather than added volume. Dr Azra confirms suitability at consultation.
Does it hurt and is there downtime?
Discomfort is minimal with numbing; downtime is minimal with possible mild swelling or small bruises that settle within a few days.
Can it be combined with other treatments?
Yes — commonly with standard Profhilo for surface glow, and it can sit within a wider plan including fillers or biostimulators.
