Aquamid® is a soft volume filler to enhance facial contours, such as nasolabial folds, cheekbones, lips, or nose and to smooth out wrinkles or folds. You can enjoy beautiful natural results from a treatment with immediate and lasting effect without surgery.
Aquamid® perfects the way you look by contouring the face, adding extra volume where desired, like your lips, or restoring lost volume to your face.
Volume is one of the secrets behind a beautiful face as volume beneath the skin is inevitably lost as the body ages, resulting in the effects we traditionally associate with ageing – such as wrinkles and folds. A beautiful youthful appearance can only be re-established if volume is replaced.
With Aquamid® you can rejuvenate your appearance by restoring lost volume and smoothing away deeper wrinkles and folds from beneath, enjoying a fresher, more youthful appearance. It’s that simple.
But it’s not just about anti-ageing. You can also use Aquamid® to enhance the contours of your face in other ways. Create the high cheekbones or nose you’ve always dreamed of, or enhance your lips for a more sensual mouth by adding extra volume.
It is extremely soft – so you can neihter see nor feel it’s there. You’ll just look and feel fresher and better – and no one need know why!
Aquamid® is a hydrogel that feels and behaves like it is a natural part of your own body. It consists of 97.5 % water and 2.5% polyacrylamide and becomes completely integrated with your body’s own tissue. The volume it supplies remains in place beneath the skin in harmony with your body.
With Aquamid®, what you see is what you get. The hydrogel does not contain any micro-particles, which means that the filling effect comes from the gel itself – not from a foreign body reaction to the micro-particles. Therefore, Aquamid® does not create tissue hardening or fibrosis.
The volume injected is equivalent to the final result and enables your physician to correct your looks with precision. A slight swelling might occur after injection, but will disappear after a few days.
Aquamid® is a watery gel. Once injected in the tissue it continuously exchanges water between the hydrogel and the surrounding tissue. With time the gel becomes vascularised enabling access to the immune system.
