BIO-ALCAMID™ is an injectable product that is an absolute innovation in the medical sector. For the first time, medical science can employ a product
comprising 96% water and 4% Synthetic reticulate polymer ( poly-Alkyl-Imide ). This blend guarantees softness to the touch; the implant has a similar consistency to the surrounding tissues without causing unsightly visible or palpable effects of artificiality.
BIO-ALCAMID™ is used to correct all types of secondary imperfections caused by soft tissue deficit, in post-traumatic injuries and post-surgery
scars, serious congenital facial and body microgenia and also cosmetic applications.
BIO-ALCAMID™ is also the ideal implant for defining the lip outline and correcting volumetric face deficits of the cheekbones, chin, jaw etc... Unlike other fillers, BIO-ALCAMID™ can be used to correct severe and large soft tissue deficits without any risk due to its biocompatibility.
Under general physiological conditions BIOALCAMID ™is a definitive implant like any other artificial prosthesis. The visible effect created by BIOALCAMID ™is that of youth, but with the passage of time, the skin ages and the tissues (especially muscle tissue) change position and shape creating new imperfections and anomalies in spite of the "mechanical support" provided by BIO-ALCAMID™. However, the appearance of aging is easily corrected with the addition of more BIO-ALCAMID™ in the areas in which it is needed.

Locally injected anaesthetic substances, such as lidocane or a topical numbing agent, can be used to reduce the discomfort of the injections. Areas with BIO-ALCAMID™ implants are generally not painful after procedures have been completed.
Yes, although it is advisable to avoid exposure to direct sunlight or tanning bed facility for at least a month following the implant; this is to prevent possible alteration of the secondary pigmentation in the temporarily inflamed area caused by the implant.
Studies conducted to date have proven that BIOALCAMID™ is a safe product; it does not require a sensitization test as no allergic reaction has ever been reported. However, it is advisable to inform the presiding physician regarding any tendency to allergic reactions ("polyallergic" subjects).
Immediately after the introduction of BIOALCAMID™, a thin, natural, physiological capsule is formed. This encloses the substance forming an actual endoprosthesis that can, if necessary, be easily identified and removed. The swelling that develops immediately after the implant is minimal under normal conditions. Immediately following the injection, there is a slight reddening in the area, but this disappears after a few minutes. There is additional swelling a few hours after the procedure is completed. The positive (acute) self-controlled inflammatory response begins within a few hours and

ends approximately 8 weeks later when the encapsulation process is complete. The resulting appearance of the implanted areas improves with each passing day. Upon the encapsulation being complete the overall effect is natural both in appearance and to the touch.
Clinical and laboratory analyses show that BIOALCAMID™ is non-toxic, non-sensitizing, nonmutagenic, biocompatible, permanent, removable, and physically and chemically stable. In addition BIO-ALCAMID™ is radio-transparent allowing for differential diagnosis when there are other structures present in the implanted area. Years of strict and scrupulous clinical experimentation have allowed BIO-ALCAMID™ to receive the CE mark by the official European authorities for the maximum in safety and product quality control.
The results of these tests confirm the safety of Bio-Alcamid™. |
