The very injection process constitutes a risk, since the injection of the needle into the skin may contribute to provoking an outbreak of facial herpes. Prevention of an outbreak of herpes by means of an oral antivirus drug is recommended. Never use Permanent dermal filler when having an outbreak of herpes labialis.

In general, immune deficiency is not a contraindication for injection of Aquamid. However, special attention must be paid to patients with skin affecting diseases and patients under lasting or intermediate treatment. Therefore we advise to review each case carefully before injecting Aquamid.

Permanent dermal filler is a new generation of filler. It is a permanent filler where the volume of the implant is given by water not from a solid product. Permanent dermal filler is made of 2.5% polyacrylamide and 97.5% water. The cross-linked polyacrylamide forms a real gel, which does not contain any solid microparticles. This makes it soft and uniform. It is injected under the skin where it can't be seen or felt and remains in place permanently.

The manufacture and processing of Permanent dermal filler take place under aseptic conditions. The filled syringes are then sterilised by means of autoclave sterilisation (moist heat).

Because the polyacrylamide forms long chains that cannot be split by the human body. No enzyme or bacterium is able to metabolise the polyacrylamide. This is the reason why the gel remains in place at the site of injection and remains as a part of that tissue.

Permanent dermal filler obtained CE marking in March 2001. This marking, which is granted by an independent notified body, certifies that the production of Permanent dermal filler takes place in compliance with European norms and that the product has proved to be harmless and efficient in human beings.

The Permanent dermal filler gel is homogeneous and does not contain any particles (microballs, microcrystals). Permanent dermal filler's effect is clearly linked to the volume injected. Permanent dermal filler does not migrate; it is stable and inactive at the site of injection.

The effect of the injection of Permanent dermal filler is permanent. Since the ageing of the skin continues, it may be necessary to carry out follow-up injections after a certain period of time, depending on a number of factors (skin structure, age,...).

Permanent dermal filler should be stored at room temperature (25°C) protected from direct sunlight. Do not freeze Permanent dermal filler. Permanent dermal filler is a polyacrylamide gel, which is a 3 dimensional-body composed of a skeleton of polymer in water environment. Permanent dermal fillerTM contains about 2-3% of cross-linked polyacrylamide network and with the remaining part of 97-98% being water.

Polyacrylamides are used in the production of drinking water. They are used as a floculant and coagulant to remove particles from the water. Polyacrylamides are used to wash fruits for peeling as well as certain vegetables. Polyacrylamides are also used as a floculant in the production of cane sugar. Polyacrylamides are used in medical products: soft contact lenses, implant materials,... They are also used in the cosmetics industry (hair colouring products, creams, lotions,..

Aquamid should not be used in patients with autoimmune diseases affecting the skin area. Special attention should be paid to patients with autoimmune disorders receiving intermediate or lasting medical treatment with e.g. corticosteroids, NSAIDs etc., to evaluate if they are suitable for injection with Aquamid.

This is the number from the notifying body in Denmark (DGM) which is audited by MDA in London. A notified body is an institution that issues CE certificates, i.e. grants CE marking to products that have been approved for sale in the European Community. The CE mark indicates that Permanent dermal filler meets the requirements formulated in EU Directive 93/42.

The difference lies in the origin and manufacture of the gel. Permanent dermal filler is a polyacrylamide gel that is made in Denmark in compliance with the ISO standards. Another difference is the structure of the gel. Permanent dermal filler is made on the basis of a new patented technology which makes it possible to control the viscosity and elasticity of the gel while preserving a watery, stable concentration. The monomer content is below 5 ppm (approx.

Because it has been used for aesthetic correction for more than ten years in 30,000 patients. Retrospective studies have not shown any long-term side effects, clinically and histologically. Numerous toxicological studies have been carried out on animals. They have shown that implants of polyacrylamide gel are tolerated for long periods of time without biodegradation.

The gel must be injected subcutaneously. It should not be injected into the superficial dermis or the intermediate dermis, since the consequences of such injections are not known. If an injection is too superficial, the aesthetic result may not be as desired, since the surface will not be smooth. If necessary, the gel can be withdrawn with a 19G needle inserted into the gel.

Permanent dermal filler should not be used in a site where a non-soluble filling product has previously been injected. In sites previously treated with a soluble filling product, an injection of Permanent dermal filler should not be made until the soluble product has disappeared completely.

It is a contraindication for the use of Permanent dermal filler if the site in question has already been treated with injections of a permanent filling product. If other filling products have been used, injection of Permanent dermal filler should wait until the first product has disappeared.

Since there is no clinical evidence of Permanent dermal filler in pregnant and breastfeeding women it is advisable not to use Permanent dermal filler for pregnant or breastfeeding women.

Yes, but results may vary. In these cases we strongly recommend the Dynamiclear Combat Kit because it contains supplements to assist the body's immune resistance against viruses. Please consult your Physician for further guidance.

First, let the anorexic know you care about her, but you are concerned about her health. Second, it is important to encourage the anorexic to seek professional help. It is likely the anorexic will resist initial offers of assistance, but you must continue your efforts without appearing to be judgmental. You may wish to provide the anorexic with a list of therapists, organizations, support groups, or resource materials that specialize in eating disorders.

The only FDA approved treatments available are injections or Nascobal® Nasal Spray. A variety of non-approved supplements exists today, but oral supplements can be destroyed by vitamin C and gastric juices in the stomach. Sublingual absorption is documented at less than 1% making it difficult to get reliable blood levels of B12.

To help determine if a dermal filler is right for you, perform a simple stretch test. Pull your skin tight on either side of the wrinkle you want to test, this will allow you to assess the potential for optimal treatment capability. If the line/wrinkle goes away when the skin is pulled tight, then full correction may be achieved.

To maintain hGH at youthful levels requires an integrated monitored approach. A solid nutritional platform needs to be maintained, including vitamin and mineral supplements. An adequate amount of exercise needs to be maintained. Blood testing is essential to insure that adequate, but not excessive levels are achieved. Step-wise use of a secretagoge, recombinant hGH available as a spray or sublingual tablet, and finally, injectable recombinant hGH is utilized.

Yes, it is possible. Neither suffering from influenza, nor vaccination against human influenza offers protection against avian flu. However, health care providers and others who are at high risk of infection should get themselves vaccinated against human influenza virus so that they are at least protected against one of them.

It is unusual, but sometimes sinus infections are caused by immune problems. In patients who have persistent sinus infections, it is important to have the immune system evaluated by an allergist/immunologist, especially before surgery is done. You may need to have allergy tests done, as well as tests done to make sure that you can form antibodies normally to common bacteria. ( For more discussion, please see the letters section.) Rarely, it can be due to AIDS, but don't jump to conclusions: 99.

Anyone in an endemic area has an equal chance to inhale the fungal spores, but with an immune deficiency chances of having a severe disease are much greater. You have a significant risk for the most severe Valley Fever cases if you go to an endemic area and your immune system is severely weakened. When AIDS and VF were being recognized as a serious combination in patients, a study showed that 60% of these patients died, even though most had antifungal treatment.
