Derma Filler S is a truly unique facial enhancement
that may help you look years younger –from giving the appearance
of a complete “mini-facelift” to eliminate troublesome lines,
wrinkles, or furrows– without the risk of surgery.
Derma Filler S is suitable for increasing the volume of depressed
areas, particularly to correct skin depressions, such as in
skin creases, wrinkles, folds, scars, eye rings and skin aging.
Derma Filler S is
also suitable for large volume corrections of the signs of
facial fat loss (lipoatrophy).
What is Derma Filler S?
Derma Filler S is a synthetic injectable material that is biocompatible
(a material that does not harm the body) and biodegradable
(able to be broken down by
the body). It has been widely used for many
years in dissolvable stitches,
soft tissue implants, and other types of implants.
How does Derma Filler S work?
Derma Filler S is injected below the surface of the skin in the area
of fat loss. Derma Filler S provides a gradual increase in
skin thickness. Visible results appear within the first few
treatment sessions. Derma Filler S will not correct the underlying cause
of the facial fat loss, but will help improve the appearance by increasing
skin
thickness in the
treated area.
How does it feel?
Sensations are generally mild and go away quickly. However, you may
feel a brief burning sensation at the site of injection. An ice pack
applied after treatment may help soothe any discomfort.
Possible side effects
Some potential side effects of Derma Filler S are injection related
and transient. These may include bleeding, pain, local redness,
bruising, and swelling.
Other observed side effects include tiny lumps, called modules,
along with induration [hardness] and inflammation [redness and swelling].
In
rare cases, patients experienced skin atrophy [loss] or hypertrophy
[increase in size], injection site abscess [pus-filled cavity], or granuloma
[nodular
re lesion]. Nonvisible or visible nodules [lumps], redness, and
swelling were observed at 6 -12 months after treatment. These are considered
rare,
and have been seen with other implantable devices. In very rare
cases, these nodules required medical treatment, including surgical removal.
These may appear if Derma Filler S was not administered properly;
however
massaging the injection area after treatment can minimize the chance
of occurrence.
How long does it last?
Treatment results will differ for each person. In a clinical study,
the treatment results lasted for up to 2 years after the first treatment
session, in most patients. Touch-up treatments may be needed to maintain
the desired effect.
It is compulsory that you have a consultation with the treating
Doctors as not everyone is suitable for Derma Filler S.
