What is BIO-ALCAMID?
 |
Bio-Alcamid is an injected endoprosthesis containing water.
It is a great innovation for cosmetic medicine.
For the first time there is now a product made up almost
completely of water (97%) which guarantees that the implant
is very soft to touch. Indeed, once the implant has been
injected it has almost exactly the same consistency as
the surrounding tissue without producing unpleasant visual
or tactile effects or seeming artificial.

Bio-Alcamid is used in cosmetic medicine and surgery to
correct any type of anaesthetic problem. Bio-Alcamid is
an Ideal implant for correcting lines and deep folds alongside
the nose, filling the cheeks and changing the profile
of the chin, etc.

repair severe cosmetic defects, such as scars following
trauma or operations, without there being any risk of
side effects because of it is a substance which is extremely
compatible with the human body.

How long does BIO-ALCAMID last once it has been injected?

unless you decide
to have it removed. Of course, the cosmetic effect created
with Bio-Alcamid cannot last forever since as time passes

What happens after the implant?
