VISCODERM® HYDROBOOSTER

The volumetric markings printed on the syringe are indicative: the medical practitioner will determine the dosage to be used for each individual case. The number of treatments depends on various factors regarding the physiology of the patient (skin type, individual metabolism, anatomy, age), lifestyle, and the injection techniques used. The recommended treatment protocol includes 2 sessions with a 2-month interval. To prolong the obtained results, it is recommended to repeat the treatment protocol twice a year.

VISCODERM® hydrobooster is an injectable medical device for restoring intradermal hydration and to help improve the structure and elasticity of the skin. VISCODERM® hydrobooster is a skinbooster which, thanks to its rheological properties and viscosity, is specifically indicated for dynamic areas of the face, such as the perioral and periocular zones. The treatment results depend on the skin type and the nature of the imperfections.

Viscoderm® Hydrobooster is a pure non-crosslinked hyaluronic acid injectable designed to improve the elasticity, radiance and smoothness of the skin. The injectable tool offers a dual function; deep hydration and tissue restructuring. Its dual actions improve the smoothness of the skin while having a stretching effect on the most superficial wrinkles, in a precise and natural way. The unique hydrostretching action is specifically effective in high movement areas of the face such as the forehead and around the eyes and mouth. Hydrobooster is formulated with a low gel stiffness and viscosity, and a high deformability, which guarantees optimal tissue integration. The injectable should be injected into the mid-deep dermis. When injected, Hydrobooster smooths superficial fine lines and wrinkles, while hydrating the skin. Furthermore, the bio-restructuring activity is prolonged over time due to its specific formula. Formulated to improve the skin’s elasticity, hydration and radiance, it also smooths superficial fine lines and wrinkles caused by dynamic facial expression.

• VISCODERM® should be injected in the dermis with the aim of restoring intracutaneous hydration and contributing to improvement of the structure and elasticity of the skin.
• Prior to each treatment with VISCODERM®, the medical practitioner must perform an adequate anamnesis and an overall assessment of the patient’s condition, in order to ensure absolute absence of contra-indications to the implant.
• Local anaesthetic may be used for treatment of the perioral area, with the purpose of ensuring the patient’s comfort.
• Before proceeding with the implant, the treated area must be cleaned with an antiseptic solution which does not contain chlorhexidine and quaternary ammonium salts.
• Remove the syringe from the blister, unscrew the needle base and screw the needle onto the syringe’s luer-lock connection. Remove the protective needle cover only when ready to perform the treatment.
• VISCODERM® is administered with the sterile needles, having standardized connections in compliance with Luer-Lock requirements, included in the package.
• The implant should be injected in the dermis; the procedure is however at the medical practitioner’s discretion and depends on the correction to be performed and the injection technique applied.
• After the treatment it is advisable to gently massage the treated area.

Contraindications:

VISCODERM® must not be used on patients affected by:

• Infectious or inflammatory processes in the vicinity of the area to be treated
• Known hypersensitivity to Keloids
• Allergy to components
• Immune system disorders
• Chronic pathological conditions of the skin
• Disorders due to coagulation factors or in the case of ongoing anti-coagulant therapies
• Do not use if pregnant.

Around the time of the treatment, the patient should avoid taking substances (aspirin, NSAIDs, Vit. E) which affect blood fluidity, in order to minimize the possibility of bruising or bleeding of the treated areas.

After-care:

Following treatment, and up to complete absorption of swelling and redness, the implanted areas should not be exposed to excessive heat (sun, UV tanning sessions, lasers), nor to intense cold.
