WHAT IS IT USED FOR?

Hyaluronic acid gels are utilized for dermal injections, offering a solution to diminish visible face wrinkles and enhance facial volume. Filorga Art Filler Universal is a distinguished series of hyaluronic acid-based fillers combined with lidocaine. This anti-aging treatment is specifically formulated to smooth out medium to deep face wrinkles and enhance lip volume.

HOW DOES FILORGA’S MECHANISM WORK?

An interaction of intrinsic and external aging causes lines and wrinkles. Intrinsic aging refers to the unavoidable biological aging that is controlled by genes. This causes a decline in the function of many skin cells, like collagen and hyaluronic acids. Some people have good genes that help preserve their skin’s health longer than others. The appearance of fine lines and dull, brittle skin indicates that intrinsic aging has occurred.

Extrinsic skin-harming factors like smoking, poor diet, and excessive sun exposure are extrinsic. These external factors can cause skin damage by introducing free radicals that can worsen already weakened skin. Skin depression can become more severe in areas frequently exposed to facial expressions.

While many patients experience various skin concerns, especially in the face, Filorga products, such as Filorga Global-Repair, Filorga Time-Filler, or this Art FIller Universal, boast their versatility in restoring youthful look and glow. When administered to the skin, it gradually absorbs the Art Filler Universal formulation, resulting in long-lasting outcomes. Filorga Art Filler products are designed to address age-related changes in skin structure. They work by filling wrinkles and skin furrows and reconstructing the contours of the face.

WHAT IS THE MAIN INGREDIENT OF FILORGA PRODUCTS?

Hyaluronic acid, a superior skincare, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical ingredient, has been extensively studied. It is a complex sugar substance found in the body naturally. Hyaluronic acid not only provides nourishment but also moisturizes and hydrates the skin. Filorga Art Filler Universal, a hyaluronic-based injectable filler, has been designed to fill skin depressions and boost collagen production over time.

To compare Filorga Art Filler Universal to other dermal fillers, this product stands out because of its key ingredients: combining three different hyaluronic acid (HA) forms using a unique technology. The Tri-Hyal Technology is innovative because it creates the desired rheological characteristics for the dermal filler, cross-linking these HA varieties to offer efficacy and longevity of results.

• Very Long Hyaluronic Acid Chains
• Long Hyaluronic Acid Chains
• Free Hyaluronic Acid

Filorga Art Filler Universal is easy to shape and has good filling potential in the face. Its cohesive, elastic, and supple gel can easily be molded to fill wrinkles or integrate seamlessly into tissues after injection. Innovative technology has been incorporated into the syringe design. It is ergonomically designed to have a comfortable finger grip, rigid plunger, and spacious thumb rest. Secure needle attachment is made possible by the integrated Luer lock. This allows doctors to perform injections with precision.

HOW TO INJECT IT?

Filorga Art Filler Universal should only be injected in the middle or deep layers of the skin, depending on the severity of the wrinkles. Depending on the training of administration Filorga, medical professionals may utilize any injection technique that they deem appropriate for the patient’s concerns. Retro-tracing and bolus injections are options for physicians.

Furthermore, dermal filler procedures are considered medical procedures and must be performed under strict aseptic conditions by licensed and experienced medical professionals.

HOW LONG DOES THIS FILLER LAST?

Filorga Art Filler Universal has a long-lasting yet gentle and tissue-friendly reputation. Studies over a long period have shown that the implant can provide corrective action for as many as 18 months. After that, it is slowly absorbed into nearby tissue. During this period, no inflammatory nodules have been observed.

In addition, injected filler gel boosts existing collagen creation (neocollagenesis). This means that wrinkles in the face can be filled, and the skin structure can be improved. After the effects subside, patients can choose to have more filler administered. The studies showed that patients still saw improvement after 12 months of no touch-ups. Each patient will experience different effects.

IS THIS PRODUCT SAFE FOR THE SKIN AND HEALTH?

Yes, Filorga Art Filler Universal can be used safely. The International Organization for Standardization (ISO 14644 and 1385) has certified the manufacturing plant. To minimize contamination and disease transmission, the hyaluronic acids are extracted from the soil and then purified by a bacterial fermentation process. Patients can tolerate the implant for as long as 18 months. This brand of aesthetic implant is safe for most patients.
