Surgiderm
As we get older the signs of ageing become more apparent. Fine lines, crow’s feet, nasolabial folds and weakening of the skin around the eyes are all signs of ageing skin. The skin looses its volume, firmness and elasticity as we grow older. External factors such as smoking, sun exposure, diet and chlorinated water all have an effect on the skin. With Surgiderm, a next generation soft tissue filler the signs of ageing can be combated effectively.
What is SURGIDERM?
It is a gel which if injected, fills and rejuvenates the skin and helps to remove deep folds, wrinkles and lines. It is also an extremely safe product for reshaping the contours of the face in a natural non-surgical way. The smooth consistency of the substance helps to reduce the visibility of smile lines and facial wrinkles. The substance helps to improve volume through its high concentration of hyaluronic acid which is a natural substance found in the body. It contains no animal products and since it is made from substances found in the human body, allergic reactions to the treatment are rare.
What is hyaluronic acid?
It is a natural complex sugar, which if administered at targeted areas, provides the skin with a boost and thus increases the smoothness of the treated areas.
How is the procedure?
An anaesthetic cream is applied to minimize any discomfort during the short treatment. The solution is injected into the superficial, mid, and deep dermis of the skin where the connective tissues and blood vessels are.
Three types of Surgiderm formulas:
