Dr. Grittern ist emphatisch und einfühlsam und arbeitet zudem professionell. Sie besitzt eine hohe Expertise und sie legt großen Wert auf eine individuelle Beratung. Auch das Team super.
Die beste Dermatologin in Düsseldorf :-)

Auch gut finde ich, dass man den Gutschein sowohl in der Dermatologie & Laser Center als auch in ihrem Kosmetikinstitut einlösen kann. So kann man sich auch spontan entscheiden und muss sich nicht vorher festlegen.

Frau Dr. Kröpfl ist eine Offenbarung für mich. Jahrelang habe ich als Erwachsener mit unreiner Haut und Ekzemen gequält, die ich alleine oder mit Hilfe meiner ‘normalen’ Hautärzte nicht in den Griff bekommen habe. Die Behandlungen sind vielleicht kostspielig, aber in jedem Fall ihr Geld wert. Ich fühle mich absolut kompetent beraten und sehr wohl in dieser Praxis.

Important information about Profhilo Structura® in Düsseldorf

What is Profhilo Structura® and how does it work?

Profhilo Structura® is an innovative hyaluronic acid preparation that has been specially developed for the regeneration of adipocytes (fat cells) and the treatment of age-related loss of fat compartments. Its unique composition differs significantly from conventional hyaluronic acid fillers and offers a revolutionary approach to targeted fat tissue regeneration.

The special mode of action of Profhilo Structura® is based on its specific interaction with the adipocytes, the fat cells in our skin. As we age, we lose the important fat compartments in our face that are crucial for a youthful appearance and contribute significantly to the structural integrity of our facial features.

Profhilo Structura® acts directly and specifically on these adipocytes, stimulating their regeneration and new formation. The preparation actively promotes the formation of new fat cells while supporting the preservation of existing fat compartments. This unique mechanism is specifically designed to correct age-related volume loss in the upper face, the resulting sagging cheeks in the lower face, and changes that have already occurred.

The innovative formula of Profhilo Structura® creates optimal conditions for adipogenesis—the formation of new adipose tissue. This targeted stimulation of fat tissue regeneration restores natural facial volume and allows the original facial contours to be regained. This specific effect makes Profhilo Structura® a unique solution for patients suffering from volume loss and/or jowls due to fat tissue loss.

What is the difference between Profhilo and Profhilo Structura®?

While the original Profhilo was developed for general Skin regeneration and Improvement of Skin quality, Profhilo Structura® is a highly specialized further development. The main difference lies in the targeted composition and specific effect on the fat compartments of the face.

Profhilo Structura® was developed specifically for the treatment of volume loss due to fat tissue loss and acts directly on the Adipocytes. This unique property makes it the ideal solution for patients suffering from age-related facial volume loss and sagging facial features due to the loss of fat compartments. The treatment does not aim to improve the surface of the skin, but specifically addresses the deeper changes in the structure of the fatty tissue.

What areas of application is Profhilo Structura® suitable for?

Profhilo Structura® offers specialized applications for areas of the face that suffer from volume loss due to fat tissue depletion. Our expert, Dr. Lucija Grittern, uses this innovative treatment in the following areas:

Natural lifting: of the face and reduction of jowls
Upper cheek area: restoration of natural facial fullness
Lateral facial contour: restoration of lateral facial volume
Middle third of the face: correction of age-related volume loss

How does a Profhilo Structura® treatment at Skinthetics work?

Preparation for treatment

Before every Profhilo Structura® treatment, Dr. Lucija Grittern conducts a detailed consultation and examination. In our first-class environment, we take the time to discuss your individual wishes regarding natural facial tightening. Our expert analyzes your facial structure, assesses the degree of volume loss in the fat compartments and, if applicable, the severity of sagging cheeks, and develops a customized treatment concept.

During the preliminary examination, the specific areas with fat tissue loss are identified and any contraindications are ruled out. We document the initial condition with professional photos and discuss realistic treatment goals for volume restoration. If desired, local anesthesia can be used to make the treatment as comfortable as possible.

On the day of treatment, the skin is thoroughly cleansed and disinfected. The injection sites are precisely marked to ensure optimal results in fat tissue regeneration. Our team creates a relaxed atmosphere in which you can feel comfortable.

Performing the treatment

The actual Profhilo Structura® treatment is performed using fine injection needles or cannulas. Dr. Lucija Grittern injects the preparation precisely into the areas with volume loss. The special injection technique ensures optimal distribution of the product for fat tissue regeneration while minimizing the risk of side effects.

The treatment is usually painless, as modern injection techniques and high-quality needles are used. Many patients describe the sensation as slight pressure or minimally noticeable pricks. The entire procedure takes about 30 to 45 minutes, depending on the number of volume losses to be treated.

During the injection, our expert ensures even distribution in the fat compartments and natural shaping. The treatment is carried out in layers to achieve a harmonious and natural volume. After each injection, the treated area is gently massaged to ensure optimal distribution for fat tissue regeneration.

Aftercare

After the Profhilo Structura® treatment, you can usually leave our practice immediately. Slight redness or minimal swelling is normal and usually subsides within a few hours. Our team will provide you with detailed aftercare instructions for the fat tissue regeneration period to take home with you.

You should refrain from intense physical activity for the first 24 hours. Sauna visits and exposure to intense heat should also be avoided. Makeup can be applied the very next day. We recommend gentle skin care and adequate sun protection during the regeneration process.
If you have any questions or concerns, our team is always available to assist you.

FAQ - Frequently asked questions about Profhilo Structura®?

Who is a Profhilo Structura® treatment suitable for?

A Profhilo Structura® treatment is suitable for patients who suffer from age-related volume loss due to fat tissue loss. The treatment is particularly suitable for people of middle age and older who want to restore their facial contours naturally without surgical intervention.

When will the result of Profhilo Structura® treatment be visible?

The first effects of a Profhilo Structura® treatment are visible after 8 weeks, as the cells need time to regenerate. However, complete fat tissue regeneration takes several weeks, as the stimulation of the Adipocytes requires time. After about 12 weeks, the final treatment result of volume restoration is visible.

How many sessions does a Profhilo Structura® treatment involve?

The number of treatments required depends on the degree of volume loss and the desired results. Usually, two treatments are necessary at intervals of four weeks, with a third treatment after 4 months if necessary, in order to achieve optimal results in fat tissue regeneration. In some cases, additional sessions may be useful to perfect the desired volume.

How long do the results of a Profhilo Structura® treatment last?

The results of a Profhilo Structura® treatment are long-lasting and can last between six and twelve months. The duration of fat tissue regeneration varies from person to person and depends on factors such as age, metabolism, and lifestyle. Regular refresher treatments can prolong and optimize the volume effects.

How painful is the Profhilo Structura® injection treatment?

Profhilo Structura® treatment is usually painless. Many patients find the injections to be well tolerated. Pain perception varies from person to person, but is minimized by modern injection techniques and fine needles. If necessary, a local anesthetic can be used to further increase comfort during the volume treatment.

What should I bear in mind after a Profhilo Structura® Treatment?

After the treatment, you should refrain from sports and strenuous physical activity for 24 hours. Sauna visits and intense heat exposure should also be avoided so as not to impair fat tissue regeneration. Use gentle skin care products and adequate sun protection. Makeup can be applied the very next day.

What risks or side effects can occur with Profhilo Structura® treatment?

As with all injection treatments, mild side effects may occur. These include temporary redness, minimal swelling, or rare bruising at the injection sites. These reactions are normal and usually subside within a few days. Serious complications are very rare when the treatment is performed professionally.

How much does a Profhilo Structura® treatment cost in Düsseldorf?

The cost of a Profhilo Structura® treatment in our practice is €552. The exact price depends on the scope of treatment. Dr. Lucija Grittern will provide you with an individual cost estimate during a personal consultation.
