Over the past decade, many hyaluronic acid-based fillers have appeared in aesthetic medicine to correct wrinkles, replenish lost volumes of soft tissues on the face.
Practitioners are particularly interested in Institute Hyalual's Alexa line of fillers, as this company's products for facial skin have long established themselves as effective and safe products.
Natalia Romashchenko, a plastic surgeon, an international class expert at Institute Hyalual, a specialist in injection techniques in aesthetic medicine, told estet-portal.com readers about the properties of these fillers and her experience of their use.
Features of hyaluronic acid fillers for contouring
Today, both monocomponent preparations and combined preparations are used for contouring, which, in addition to hyaluronic acid, may include components such as calcium hydroxyapatite, dextranomers, amino acids, antioxidants, minerals, vitamins.
Hyaluronic acid-based preparations can also be stabilized with various binding agents: BDDE, mannitol, carbodiimides, dialdehydes, butadiene sulfone.
Today, the "gold standard" remain fillers based on hyaluronic acid with a binding agent BDDE.
These drugs include innovative fillers of the Alexa smooth/medium/volume line. They are manufactured by Institute Hyalual and meet European ISO and GMP quality standards.
The hyaluronic acid in these preparations is of biosynthetic origin and therefore does not cause allergic reactions. And the use of BDDE – it is a world standard that has an optimal stability/safety ratio.
The use of BDDE in hyaluronic fillers is approved by the FDA (USA), which controls the quality and safety of the products produced.
A wide range of Alexa products allows you to solve all the issues of face and body contouring – starting from the filling of superficial wrinkles, ending with the volumization of the middle and deep layers of tissues.
What is the innovation of Alexa hyaluronic acid fillers
Alexa smooth/medium/volume fillers have a maximum physiological pH of 7.2-7.4, which confirms the safety of the product. Also, the preparations in in vitro studies demonstrated the accumulation of fluid in a ratio of 1: 1, that is, a purely volumization effect is observed without attracting excess fluid by the filler.
The osmolarity of Alexa is close to physiological norms, which leads to the absence of puffiness after injection of these volumetric preparations.
Another important aspect is that Alexa smooth/medium/volume do not contain anesthetics, in particular lidocaine. That is, the risk of allergic complications is reduced to almost zero in the preparation, and this gives us an additional guarantee of safety when working with preparations.
• Alexa Smooth. HA concentration 15mg/ml. The drug is intended for filling small epidermal-dermal wrinkles with a needle, in particular in the patented Institute Hyalual technique “Finelifting”.
The technique involves superficial injection of Alexa Smooth with a 30G needle along the wrinkle, prick by prick, to the depth of the needle cut. The technique is suitable for wrinkles in the periorbital, perioral and glabella zones. Due to the low concentration of HA in the preparation, there is no possibility of overcorrection with the superficial injection of the filler.
Alexa Smooth can also be inserted with a cannula technique to gently fill the nasolacrimal trough and the aforementioned areas of the face. Cannulas 25G, 27G, 30G are used.
• Alexa Medium. Filler with a HA concentration of 17.5 mg/ml. This drug is optimally suited for the correction of lips, wrinkles and creases of medium depth, the correction of the back of the nose, the temporal region, for subcutaneous injection in the subzygomatic region, for the correction of the back of the hands. .
As part of the Grand Experts’ Meeting, held on June 14-16 in Kyiv, Natalia Romashchenko made a report “Full face correction. Features of the Alexa line of fillers.
