Advanced Facial Adipose Tissue Support
PROFHILO® STRUCTURA Treatment in Johor Bahru
PROFHILO® STRUCTURA is a high-concentration injectable hyaluronic acid medical device manufactured by IBSA. Designed for selected age-related changes in superficial facial fat compartments, the common 2 mL presentation contains 90 mg of total HA (a total concentration of 45 mg/mL) combining high- and low-molecular-weight HA. It is formulated to integrate within subcutaneous tissue to provide subtle structural support, particularly for lateral cheek hollowing and soft-tissue depletion. It is not a chemically crosslinked structural filler, a hydration-only skin booster, or a permanent fat regeneration treatment.
Many patients from Singapore and surrounding areas like Iskandar Puteri and Taman Molek choose our Johor Bahru clinic for our education-first approach. We understand that patients want transparent information about product ingredients, evidence limitations, and realistic outcomes. Before any treatment, our doctor will thoroughly assess your facial anatomy to distinguish between superficial fat depletion, deep volume loss, and skin laxity. We prioritise clinical diagnosis, verifying current Malaysian registration, and ensuring you understand exactly what this treatment can and cannot achieve.

Targeting Structural Support
Understanding NAHYCO90 & Hybrid HA Technology
PROFHILO STRUCTURA uses IBSA’s patented NAHYCO® Hybrid Technology. “NAHYCO90” refers to the thermal manufacturing process and the 90 mg total HA contained in the common 2 mL prefilled syringe (comprising 45 mg high-molecular-weight HA and 45 mg low-molecular-weight HA). It does not mean the product is 90 mg/mL, nor does it guarantee 90% improvement.
Unlike conventional dermal fillers that use chemical crosslinking to create firm projecting gels, this product forms stabilised hybrid cooperative complexes through thermal processing. This gives it a highly flowable rheological profile, allowing it to integrate within selected superficial fat compartments rather than creating sharp cheek or jawline contours. While the product is designed for adipose-tissue restoration, this does not mean it permanently regenerates living adipocytes (fat cells). For our patients travelling from Taman Pelangi, Mount Austin, or across the Causeway, we explain that its temporary integration provides subtle support, not a surgical facelift.

Anatomy-Based Assessment
Distinguishing Between Sinkers & Saggers
Facial ageing is not caused by fat loss alone; it involves changes in skin, deep fat, retaining ligaments, muscle, and bone. The manufacturer uses “Sinker” and “Sagger” to describe common visual patterns, but these are aesthetic concepts, not formal medical diagnoses.
The “Sinker” Profile: This typically refers to visible lateral cheek hollowing, preauricular depletion, and a more skeletal appearance due to superficial soft-tissue loss.
The “Sagger” Profile: This generally describes soft-tissue descent, reduced lateral facial support, and early jowl-related changes.
While PROFHILO STRUCTURA may improve the appearance of both patterns by providing subtle subcutaneous structural support, a doctor’s assessment is mandatory. Temple hollowing, deep midface volume loss, or severe skin laxity may require a different approach. We thoroughly investigate recent weight loss and previous treatments to ensure accurate, safe recommendations.

Managing Realistic Expectations
What PROFHILO STRUCTURA Cannot Replace
PROFHILO STRUCTURA is an advanced HA complex, but it has distinct limitations. It does not replace firm structural filler for major cheek or jawline projection, surgical fat transfer for substantial volume restoration, or facelift surgery for advanced tissue descent. It also differs from botulinum toxin (which relaxes muscles) and energy devices like HIFU or RF (which target thermal skin tightening).
As an injectable procedure, it carries risks. Temporary reactions like redness, swelling, tenderness, itching, and bruising are common. Although it is not chemically crosslinked and a cannula may be used, uncommon but medically important complications such as vascular compromise, tissue injury, persistent nodules, or delayed inflammation remain possible. Severe or increasing pain, or unusual pale/mottled skin colour changes after treatment require urgent medical assessment.

Safe Cross-Border Treatment
Doctor Assessment for Singapore & Local Patients
Whether you reside in Medini or Taman Molek, or are travelling from Singapore via the Tuas Second Link or Causeway, your treatment starts with a comprehensive anatomy-based consultation. You must disclose your medical history, autoimmune diseases, and all previous procedures, including permanent fillers, threads, and surgery.
Same-day treatment may be provided but is entirely subject to the doctor’s assessment and verified Malaysian product availability. We will not proceed if there is an active infection, pregnancy, or if another modality is safer. Patients should expect temporary swelling, contour unevenness, or bruising, and should not schedule important events immediately post-treatment. We ensure that every patient leaves with clear follow-up planning and individualised aftercare instructions.

Frequently Asked Questions About PROFHILO STRUCTURA
Here are answers to common questions about treating facial volume loss and structural concerns. This information helps you have an informed discussion with our doctor.
What is PROFHILO STRUCTURA?
PROFHILO STRUCTURA is a high-concentration HA injectable designed for selected facial adipose-tissue and soft-tissue support concerns. It combines high- and low-molecular-weight HA using IBSA’s NAHYCO Hybrid Technology.
How much hyaluronic acid does PROFHILO STRUCTURA contain?
The common 2 mL presentation contains 45 mg high-molecular-weight HA and 45 mg low-molecular-weight HA, giving 90 mg total HA. This equals a total HA concentration of 45 mg/mL.
What does NAHYCO90 mean?
NAHYCO refers to IBSA’s patented hybrid-complex technology. The number 90 refers to the 90 mg total HA in the common 2 mL presentation. It does not mean 90 mg/mL or guarantee a particular percentage of improvement.
Is PROFHILO STRUCTURA the same as original PROFHILO?
No. PROFHILO STRUCTURA contains more total HA and is designed mainly for selected superficial facial fat compartments and structural support. Original PROFHILO focuses more on dermal hydration, elasticity and skin bio-remodelling.
Is PROFHILO STRUCTURA a dermal filler?
It is an HA injectable with a corrective or filling action, but it differs from firm chemically crosslinked fillers used for focal projection. It is designed for broader integration within selected superficial facial fat compartments rather than sharp cheek, chin or jawline shaping.
Does PROFHILO STRUCTURA grow new facial fat?
Current studies do not prove permanent creation of new facial fat. The product is intended to integrate within selected adipose-tissue compartments and may improve soft-tissue thickness and support, but “fat regeneration” should not be interpreted as guaranteed new-fat growth.
How many sessions may be needed?
Official instructions commonly describe two initial sessions approximately 30 days apart. Maintenance may be considered later when clinically appropriate. The current Malaysian Instructions for Use and individual response should determine the plan.
What are the possible side effects?
Temporary pain, warmth, redness, swelling, itching, burning or bruising may occur. Less common risks include infection, prolonged inflammation, nodules, contour irregularity, tissue injury or vascular compromise. Severe pain or unusual skin-colour change requires urgent assessment.
Can Singapore patients receive PROFHILO STRUCTURA in Johor Bahru?
Singapore patients may arrange a consultation at Medi Clinic Johor Bahru. Same-day treatment depends on doctor assessment, current Malaysian product verification and authorised availability. Temporary swelling or bruising should be considered when planning the visit.

Timeline & Realistic Expectations
Number of Sessions & Results Timeline
The official instructions commonly describe an initial cycle of two sessions spaced approximately 30 days apart. Maintenance may be considered around four months later, but is not compulsory. Early swelling can temporarily alter facial volume, which is not the final result. Subtle support-related changes may become more apparent over several weeks. Results vary between patients, and temporary improvements do not halt the natural ageing process or ongoing weight-related changes.

Maintenance & Assessment
Understanding PROFHILO STRUCTURA vs. Other Treatments
| Key Aspect | Other Treatments or Misconceptions | PROFHILO STRUCTURA MEDICAL |
|---|---|---|
| HA Concentration | Some boosters use high-concentration crosslinked HA. | Contains 45 mg/mL total HA concentration combining high- and low-molecular weight HA without chemical crosslinking. |
| vs. Original PROFHILO | Original PROFHILO contains 64mg HA, focuses on dermal hydration, elasticity and skin bio-remodelling. | Contains 90mg total HA (in 2mL), designed to integrate within selected superficial fat compartments for structural support. |
| vs. Conventional Filler | Firm, chemically crosslinked fillers designed for major cheek, jawline, or focal facial projection. | Thermally stabilised for flowability, intended for broader soft-tissue support and natural-looking integration. |
| vs. Biostimulators | Sculptra (PLLA), Juvelook, or Lenisna (PDLLA) aim to induce a tissue response over time with different particles. | An HA-based hybrid cooperative complex with distinct physical behaviour and regulatory evidence. |
| vs. Fat Transfer | A surgical procedure using harvested living fat cells, which can have unpredictable survival rates. | An injectable HA device that provides temporary support. Does not contain living fat cells or require liposuction. |
| vs. Thread Lift | Uses implanted threads for selected mechanical pulling and repositioning of tissue. | Provides support through soft-tissue integration rather than physical anchoring threads. |
| vs. Botulinum Toxin | Relaxes selected muscle activity to address dynamic expression wrinkles. | Does not relax facial muscles; focuses strictly on subcutaneous structural support. |
| vs. Energy Devices | HIFU or RF use controlled thermal energy aimed at skin tightening and tissue effects. | An injectable treatment aimed at superficial fat-compartment volume. Combination requires careful timing. |
| vs. Skincare | Topicals support the surface skin barrier but cannot replace deeper volume loss. | Targets subcutaneous layers that skincare cannot reach, though sunscreen remains essential. |
| Clinical Evidence | Often promoted with guaranteed "fat regeneration" promises without clinical backing. | Early studies show improvements in soft-tissue thickness, though studies were small and lacked control groups. |
| Safety & Supply | High risk if purchased online, self-injected, or administered without a proper anatomy assessment. | Must use verified Malaysian authorised supply, intact packaging, and be administered by a qualified doctor. |
