Looking the way you feel has become almost a way of life; a healthy regime of eating well, exercise and activities that help to eliminate stress are staples for sustaining a quality lifestyle.
Unfortunately our outer selves may not always reflect our inner selves. Nowhere on the body is it more evident than on the face.
Bio-Alcamid™, a synthetic injectable gel to enhance and restore areas on the face, such as cheeks, chin, jaw line, eye area and around the mouth.
By replacing the lost volume that occurs with aging, the 3 D’s; deterioration, deflation and descent are significantly improved. The result, a natural more youthful appearance, without the down-time, cost and recovery of a traditional
face-lift.
In Canada for the past 2 years, Bio-Alcamid™ is approved by Health Canada for the treatment of Facial Lipoatrophy (severe facial fat and volume loss). Since 2001, it has been used in Europe primarily for aesthetic applications (wrinkles, folds, volume contour enhancements); however this is considered ‘off label’ here in Canada.
Bio-Alcamid™ is a safe product, highly biocompatible and recognized by the body as a single molecule) unlike other products that are multi-molecular (silicone/ Radiesse™). Otherwise degradable, the body naturally forms a thin, soft collagen capsule around it, protecting it from absorption, thereby prolonging its effect long past the 6-9 months as with other injectables. Bio-Alcamid™ is being used by aesthetic specialists across the country.
In the face, Bio-Alcamid is used to restore facial contours, for non-surgical chin augmentation and non-surgical cheek augmentation, also to give the illusion of a facelift (Bio-Lift) for men and women who have lost facial volume due to the natural aging process. Bio-Alcamid is permanent, adjustable, removable and safe.
