Aquamid

Aesthetic corrections of the face have traditionally been performed with injectable,
re-absorbable products. The introduction of the permanent filler AquamidTM has revolutionised the applications of fillers in facial rejuvenation.

Aquamid TM is a transparent, injectable implant in hydrogel form.

The hydrogel is composed of 97.5% sterile water bound to 2.5% cross-linked polymers. These have been used safely in biomedicine for decades.

Aquamid TM does not contain any derivatives from animals.

Aquamid TM injectable implant becomes a soft and stable part of your tissue. It is non-resorbable, non-toxic, non-allergenic and lasting product for facial correction.

Aquamid TM is designed for immediate, precise and lasting aesthetic enhancement and reconstruction of facial and body tissues. The implants add volume where it is needed under your skin to restore or augment the contours of your face.

Aquamid TM can be used for:

Forehead frowns, folds from nose to mouth and depressed corners of the mouth

Lip augmentation and contouring

Chin augmentation

Cheek augmentation

Cheekbone augmentation

Other facial corrections.

Is Aquamid TM safe?

Aquamid TM obtained CE marking in March 2001. This marking, which is granted by an independent notified body, certifies that the production takes place in compliance with European norms and that the product has proved to be harmless and efficient in human beings. The Aquamid TM is developed and manufactured in Denmark..

Why is Aquamid TM permanent?

Because the polyacrylamide forms long chains that cannot be split by the human body. No enzyme or bakterium is able to metabolise the polyacrylamide. This is the reason why the gel remains in place at the site of injection and remains as a part of that tissue.

What is mode of action?

The Aquamid TM gel is homogeneous and does not contain any particles (microballs, microcrystals). The effect is clearly linked to the volume injected. It does not migrate; it is stable and inactive at the site of injection.

The procedure is quick, needs neither test patch or general anaesthetic. After the injection you can go home or back to work immediately.

How long does treatment with AquamidTM last?

The effect of the injection is permanent. Since the ageing of the skin continues, it may be necessary to carry out follow-up treatment after a certain period of time, depending on number of factors (skin structure, age, ...).

Aquamid TM should not be used for pregnant or breastfeeding women.

The patient will be informed about indications, expected results, contraindications, precautions, warnings and potential adverse events at the consultation.

The longevity is deemed by the manufacturer,
