Facetem is a dermal filler specifically designed for wrinkle reduction and facial contouring. It is composed of a combination of calcium hydroxyapatite (CaHA) and a polymer gel carrier, with the formulation consisting of 30% calcium hydroxyapatite and 70% polymer gel. This unique composition allows it to be injected into the skin to achieve aesthetic improvements.
Mechanism of Action
The mechanism by which Facetem operates involves a two-phase effect. Initially, it provides rapid filling due to its flexible gel matrix, allowing for immediate aesthetic enhancement upon injection. Following this initial effect, the calcium hydroxyapatite component stimulates long-term collagen synthesis in the skin. This dual action not only fills wrinkles but also promotes skin rejuvenation over time.
Structural Characteristics
Facetem features a tiny flake structure that creates a stable framework conducive to collagen synthesis. The product’s high viscosity and homogeneous microspheres ensure that it remains at the injection site, facilitating precise modeling and shaping of facial contours.
Advantages of Facetem
- Wrinkle Reduction: Facetem effectively reduces the appearance of wrinkles.
- Non-Surgical Facelift: It is CE1023 approved as a non-surgical facelift option, promoting long-term skin fitness.
- Elasticity: The elasticity of Facetem makes it resistant to stresses from facial muscles, resulting in stable outcomes.
- Biocompatibility: Calcium hydroxyapatite is biocompatible with human tissue, minimizing risks of allergic reactions or complications.
- Long-Term Effects: The results can last up to two years due to ongoing collagen stimulation.
Application and Usage
Facetem is intended for use in the deep dermis layer of the skin and comes in syringes containing 1.5 mL per pack (1.5cc). It is manufactured in South Korea and is available for global shipping.
