Choosing the Right Treatment for Natural-Looking Rejuvenation
As we age, our faces naturally lose volume, elasticity, and that dewy glow we once took for granted. But the desire isn’t to look “done” or drastically different—it’s to look well-rested, lifted, and vibrant, like ourselves on our best day.
That’s where today’s advanced injectable treatments come in. When comparing Dermal Filler vs Profhilo Structura, two of the most effective options I offer in clinic are volumising dermal fillers, such as Teoxane RHA 4, and Profhilo Structura, an innovative treatment that supports natural tissue regeneration. While both contain hyaluronic acid (HA), they work in completely different ways.
Let’s explore the science behind each treatment, when they’re used, and what kind of results you can expect—so you can feel confident in choosing the right approach for your skin.
What Is Teoxane RHA 4?
Teoxane RHA 4 is part of the RHA (Resilient Hyaluronic Acid) range—an advanced dermal filler designed to adapt to your natural facial movements. This next-generation dermal filler is specifically formulated for restoring volume and structure in the deeper layers of the face.
It’s ideal for:
- Lifting the cheeks
- Contouring the jawline
- Softening deeper folds and hollows
- Replacing volume lost through ageing or weight loss
How it works: Teoxane RHA 4 is a cross-linked hyaluronic acid gel that integrates smoothly into the skin, providing immediate, natural-looking volume. This dermal filler is carefully injected into the deep dermis or subcutaneous layer to restore lift and shape where the face has deflated.
Best for:
- Patients looking to restore youthful contours
- Those who want a more defined profile
- Lifting sagging or sunken areas
At Cosmetier, we use Teoxane RHA 4 as our dermal filler of choice to achieve beautifully natural and long-lasting results.
What Is Profhilo Structura?
Profhilo Structura is a new evolution of the original Profhilo. While both types of Profhilo contain hyaluronic acid, Structura is placed deeper into the subcutaneous fat layer, rather than the skin itself.
But here’s the key difference: Structura doesn’t “fill” like a traditional filler. Instead, it stimulates fat cell regeneration and improves the integrity of the soft tissues, which we naturally lose over time. Ultimately, resulting in skin tightening especially in the jawline.
It’s ideal for:
- Lower cheek rejuvenation
- Treating early signs of volume loss especially in the lateral aspects
- Improving skin firmness from within
How it works: Once injected into the fat layer, Structura encourages cell renewal, supporting the body’s own ability to rebuild lost volume in a subtle, natural-looking way.
Best for:
- Women and men noticing facial hollowing but wanting a softer, non-filler look
- Those wanting to maintain fullness without sculpted definition
- Early intervention to prevent more advanced signs of ageing
Not suitable for: Neck, hands, or areas with little subcutaneous fat

So, Which One Should You Choose, Dermal Filler or Profhilo Structura ?
The answer lies in what you want to achieve.
If you’ve lost definition in the cheeks or jawline and want to restore structure and contour, dermal filler is the ideal solution. Teoxane RHA 4 at Cosmetier, is a beautifully flexible option designed to move naturally with your facial expressions while delivering volume where it’s needed most.
If you’re noticing soft volume loss—perhaps a gentle hollowing or flattening—but want to preserve your natural features without added volume, Profhilo Structura works with your body to restore youthful plumpness from within.
For many women, the ideal approach is not choosing one or the other—but combining both. Using Teoxane RHA 4 dermal filler to lift and define key areas, alongside Profhilo Structura to regenerate deeper tissues, creates a harmonious, refreshed look that still feels completely you.
Final Thoughts
Ageing gracefully doesn’t mean doing nothing—it means choosing treatments that respect your natural beauty, support your skin’s health, and evolve with you. Both Teoxane RHA 4 and Profhilo Structura offer elegant, understated results when used correctly.
