Summary
Profhilo® Structura, a new hyaluronic acid injectable, effectively restores facial adipose tissue in the cheeks using unique NAHYCO® technology. This treatment offers lipolifting and tightening, addressing aging signs safely and effectively.
Area of Science:
- Aesthetic medicine
- Dermatology
- Cosmetic surgery
Background:
- Hyaluronic acid (HA) injectables are popular for anti-aging treatments.
- Facial aging involves changes in adipose tissue, particularly in the cheeks.
- Profhilo® Structura utilizes novel nano hybrid complex of hyaluronic acid (NAHYCO)® technology.
Purpose of the Study:
- To establish clinical rationale and guidelines for using Profhilo® Structura.
- To describe optimal injection techniques for treating specific facial fat compartments.
- To evaluate clinical outcomes for restoring facial adipose tissue.
Main Methods:
- Expert discussion on clinical rationale and techniques.
- Development of injection strategies for preauricular and zygomatic areas.
- Application of Profhilo® Structura in patients with fat hypotrophy or jowl sagging.
Main Results:
- Profhilo® Structura demonstrated effective restoration of facial adipose tissue.
- Optimal injection techniques maximized product diffusion and minimized risks.
- Treatment resulted in lateral tightening and lipolifting effects.
Conclusions:
- Profhilo® Structura is the first HA injectable to integrate and restore adipose tissue.
- The product offers a safe and effective solution for facial fat restoration.
- Expert-guided techniques ensure optimal outcomes in treating aging-related fat compartment changes.

6.4K
Proteins are polymers of amino acid residues. They are versatile and responsible for different cellular functions, including DNA replication, molecular transport, catalysis, and structural support. Proteins have a hierarchical structure comprising at least three levels of organization: primary, secondary, and tertiary structure. Some large proteins have a quaternary structure where individual protein subunits are linked together.

01:24Structural Steel Products
160
Structural steel products are created within a structural mill. The process begins with a beam blank that is reheated and then fed through a series of rollers. These rollers progressively shape the metal into its final form. Adjusting the spacings between the rollers allows for the production of different sections with the same nominal dimensions.
Once shaped, the steel's final form emerges as a continuous length, which is then segmented by a hot saw into manageable pieces. These segments...

Proteins are one of the most abundant organic molecules in living systems and have the most diverse range of functions of all macromolecules. Proteins may be structural, regulatory, contractile, or protective. They may serve in transport, storage, or membranes; or they may be toxins or enzymes. Their structures, like their functions, vary greatly. They are all, however, amino acid polymers arranged in a linear sequence.

7.3K
A proteome is the entire set of proteins that a cell type produces. We can study proteomes using the knowledge of genomes because genes code for mRNAs, and the mRNAs encode proteins. Although mRNA analysis is a step in the right direction, not all mRNAs are translated into proteins.
Proteomics is the study of proteomes' function. It involves the large-scale systematic study of the proteome to denote the protein complement expressed by a genome. Scientist Mark Wilkins coined the term...
