HYLAFORM AND HYLAFORM PLUS
HYLAFORM AND HYLAFORM PLUS
DERMAL FILLER Hylaform is like
Captique – however the major difference
is that it is not manufactured like Captique. Hylaform and Hylaform Plus is
harvested from rooster combs of domestic fowl and is a form of cross-linked
hyaluronic acid (5.5 mg/ml).
Hylaform & Hylaform Plus Immediate
treatment - no pre-treatment skin test required Immediate
results Proven
safety - used in international markets for nearly a decade Mild
adverse post-treatment responses (such as redness, bruising and swelling)
ADVANTAGES OF
HYLAFORM AND HYLAFORM PLUS: Hylaform tends
to be longer lasting than
collagen fillers. It also has less risk of clumping and tends to
go in more smoothly while injected. Overcorrection with this product is not
needed. If a lump should occur with Hylaform or Hylaform Plus, hyaluronidase
("Wytase") can
be injected into the area with great success of dissipating the area of concern.
DISADVANTAGES OF HYLAFORM AND HYLAFORM PLUS: Disadvantages include possible short-lived inflammation and/or swelling at the
injection site occasional formation of bumps rarely, chronic allergic,
inflammatory or other reactions There is also very small risk of acquiring
animal (chicken) pathogens. Hylaform also has a higher rate of allergic
reactions compared to the other hyaluronic acid fillers such as
Captique or
Restylane.
A very small risk of animal-to-human transmission remains with any product of
animal origin. Due to these disadvantages, whether perceived or real, Hylaform
usually costs about 20-30% less than Restylane, Captique, or
Juvederm.
