In the last decade, the modern cosmetic market has received a huge variety of dermal fillers, most of which are based on hyaluronic acid. Some of them quickly disappear, not having passed the test of time for their level of quality, while others receive well-deserved recognition from professionals, backed up by scientific studies of effectiveness and safety.
One of the injectables that doctors are happy to include in their arsenal for anti-aging procedures is Aliaxin® hyaluronic filler; manufactured by IBSA (Italy). What qualities of the drug caused interest in it from the side of cosmetologists, found out estet-portal.com.
Features of injectable fillers based on hyaluronic acid
Fillers based on hyaluronic acid have established themselves as the gold standard in injectable cosmetology, and there is a completely logical explanation for this: they have a low immunogenic potential, they are absolutely biocompatible with human body tissues and are excreted from the body naturally over time, they are easy to use, they are not too painful when injected and give a good long lasting effect.

Thanks to clinical studies that are regularly conducted with preparations containing hyaluronic acid, cosmetologists use these products with confidence, without fear of the risk of unforeseen complications.
Hyaluronic acid – one of the most important components of the intercellular matrix, taking part in many processes that affect the condition of the skin. In dermal fillers, hyaluronic acid is usually used, the molecules of which have the so-called cross-links – chemical compounds that improve the consistency of the drug and increase the duration of its retention in the dermis.
The degree and method of crosslinking, concentration, consistency, viscosity, purity and some other properties of hyaluronic acid may differ in different fillers, allowing you to choose the best one for solving a particular patient problem.
What are the properties of Aliaxin® injectable
Aliaxin® Monophasic Filler manufactured by IBSA (Italy) is made on the basis of ultrapure hyaluronic acid, and contains a combination of hyaluronic particles of different molecular weights. This combination makes it possible to increase the number of covalent bonds between hyaluronic acid chains and increase their stability, and also stimulates various biological and mechanical processes in the skin.

Hyaluronic molecules of various sizes are cross-linked using butanediol diglycidyl ether (BDDE), after which particular attention is paid to the purification process. For all purification steps, only one solvent is used: ethanol 96%. The limit for BDDE residues in the finished product is less than 0.1 ppm. This figure is one of the lowest in dermal fillers on the market. It ensures high biocompatibility and safety of the hyaluronic filler.
Hyaluronic acid for the production of Aliaxin® obtained by bioenzymatic way from a native cell strain of streptococcal bacteria. The drug is characterized by an ultra-low content of nucleic acids, proteins, iron, ethanol and water, even well below the limits set by the European Pharmacopoeia, as well as a low polydispersity index, which indicates its high molecular homogeneity.
So Aliaxin® is a homogeneous, easy-to-administer, versatile and safe gel with balanced rheological properties, which guarantees a predictable, natural and long-lasting result.
High elasticity and low viscosity Aliaxin® gel; increases its ability to more effectively integrate into tissues while reducing the risk of injury and structural changes compared to other fillers.
How does Aliaxin® work? in the tissues of the skin of the face
Aliaxin® performs not only the function of a filler, but also has the properties of rehydration and tissue stimulation.
The principle of action of the drug in tissues is approximately as follows
- After being injected under the skin, hyaluronic acid begins to attract water molecules that are in the tissues.
- Attracted water molecules begin to fill in folds, creases, other skin defects, smooth out wrinkles.
- Complexes of liquid molecules attracted by hyaluronic acid activate the process of producing your own collagen and elastin.
- After some time, hyaluronic complexes are broken down under the influence of enzymes and completely removed from the body without harming it.
Due to the unique ability of hyaluronic acid to attract and hold liquid molecules in tissues, a visible cosmetic and aesthetic effect is provided by the administration of Aliaxin®. Due to this property, the filler is used to solve many problems in cosmetology.
The Aliaxin® has proven resistance to hyaluronidase – higher than biphasic gels and compared to other monophasic gels.
In addition, Aliaxin® has a low cleavage rate, providing a longer stay of the gel at the injection sites. Based on the experience of IBSA practitioners, the mean duration of action of Aliaxin®; is 6-8 months.
Properties of each type of Aliaxin® adapted to specific indications and tailored to specific insertion layers.
Soft gel (low hardness, high ductility) has a high spreadability and is most suitable for skin treatment in superficial layers.
When the maximum is required natural result:
- Aliaxin® SR (shape and restoration) – ideal for use both on large areas and for contouring;
- Aliaxin® FL (small wrinkles and lips) – allows you to restore the elasticity of the skin and emphasize the natural features of the face.
Harder gel (high modulus, low compliance) - suitable for deep skin layers:
- Aliaxin® GP (global correction) – recommended for restoring localized tissue volume lost due to age-related changes;
- Aliaxin® EV – (main volume) – ideal for subcutaneous implantation, restoration of volume and natural facial symmetry.
The selection criteria for one or another type of drug Aliaxin®; serves as the depth of wrinkles, features and properties of the skin in the area of injection, the age of the patient and the specifics of the problems to be solved.
