Injection correction of deformation-edematous type of aging

Deformation-edematous type of aging is the most difficult in terms of injection correction. Hyaluronic acid fillers, which in the vast majority of cases are used for contouring, are not suitable for such patients due to their high hydrophilicity.

By attracting water, HA increases swelling and gives an unsatisfactory correction result. Therefore, filler based on calcium hydroxyapatite Facetem S is ideal for working with the deformation-edematous type of aging.

In the article estet-portal.com we will talk about the advantages, possibilities and features of working with this drug.

Edematous-deformational type of aging: main features and tasks of injection correction 

When drawing up an injection correction plan for patients with deformation-edematous type of aging, it is important to consider: 

• deformation of very heavy facial tissues; 
• hypertrophy of superficial fat pads. 

The main task when working with this category of patients – make a lifting effect.

The tendency to swelling necessitates the administration of a drug with minimal or no hydrophilicity at all. A highly hydrophilic HA filler is capable of attracting and retaining water, which will lead to swelling in the injection site in patients with deformation type of aging. 

The most frequent request of patients with deformation-edematous type of aging – lifting. 

Therefore, Facetem S calcium hydroxyapatite filler is the drug of choice. The possibilities of HAC are now quite wide, it can also be used for more superficial subcutaneous injection, including for collagen stimulation. Visually, this allows you to reduce skin laxity and satisfy the most frequent request of patients – lifting effect of procedure. 

Unique properties and features of Facetem S 

Calcium hydroxyapatite has a number of advantages over hyaluronic acid, which make this material ideal for correcting the deformative-edematous type of aging: 

• longer result (lasts up to 18 months); 
• no edema; 
• predicted result; 
• skin rejuvenation (more active and prolonged stimulation of fibroblasts and, accordingly, the synthesis of collagen and elastin – skin tightening by 50%); 
• More environmental protection. 

Filler Facetem S from the official distributor of TOTISPHARMA GROUP is calcium hydroxyapatite microspheres with the optimal and safest size of 25 – 45 µm + carboxymethyl cellulose gel carrier (sodium salt, glycerin, water). 

Drug: 

• biocompatible; 
• non-toxic; 
• non-irritating; 
• non-antigenic; 
• does not require prior susceptibility testing. 

Key technology of the Facetem S filler – a lattice-porous structure that: 

• does not break down all at once, gradual degradation occurs from the surface to the center, which, unlike the sandy structure of competing drugs, provides a uniform and more controlled biodegradation.

The homogeneous structure of Facetem S contributes to a smooth injection. HAA particles of different sizes tend to clump, making administration difficult. Facetem S is composed of particles of the same size that do not cluster, resulting in a soft and smooth injection.

Facetem S, in addition to particles of the same size, has a high viscosity for three-dimensional volumetric correction of the face. Thanks to this feature, the filler provides the ideal volume and shape immediately after injection. Also, the drug is able to hold its shape, resist the pressure of surrounding tissues. 

Ca²⁺ and PO ^3- ions are safe and biocompatible, as they are components of the inorganic matrix of bones and teeth. Its action is based on the ability to stimulate collagen synthesis. 

Thus, the Facetem S filler has the following advantages: 

• stimulates neocollagenesis; 
• Ensures maximum volume and modeling; 
• possesses pronounced viscoelasticity due to the mass of the gel carrier of more than 700,000 daltons; 
• easy to type; 
• provides a prolonged effect due to the porous-lattice structure; 
• slowly biodegrades.

The drug was developed based on the results of more than 20 years of research into apatite-based technologies and launched in February 2012. 

Indications for injection correction with Facetem S filler

Facetem S HAC filler indicated for: 

• soft tissue volumization in the zygomatic, buccal and temporal areas; 
• face and chin oval correction; 
• eliminate nasolabial folds and marionette lines; 
• stimulation of collagen (with flabby, atonic skin) on any part of the body; 
• aesthetic correction of the dorsum of the hands (skin tightening). 

Drug not recommended to be administered in: 

• eyebrow region; 
• lips; 
• very thin skin; 
• in case of aggravated cosmetic history in the injection area.

Today, there are many modern techniques that allow the maximum use of calcium hydroxyapatite. The choice of technique depends on the problem to be solved. 

When working with the drug, it is important to have a clear understanding of the anatomy, the target layer in each case, anatomical landmarks, and compliance with the safety rules for injection correction.

Due to its unique properties, Facetem S from the official distributor of TOTISPHARMA GROUP, when used correctly, provides a natural, predictable and long-term result in patients with deformation-edematous type of aging, without causing puffiness. The possibilities of volumization, lifting effect and long-term stimulation of collagen, which this filler represents, fully satisfy the requirements of this category of patients, and therefore Facetem S – an indispensable assistant in the arsenal of a modern cosmetologist.
