Outline - Dermal Fillers

This is an absorbable Polyacrylamide HYDROGEL which is non-animal by nature and created from the absorbable Polylacrylamide gel. This process is done in a sterile facility for surgical procedures that is found near Bordeaux in France. The laboratory that makes a major part of the facility is certified with approvals for development, manufacturing, control and distributing of the devices. It meets all the requirements of EN 46001/ISO 13485 and EN/ISO 9001 standards. It is thought to be one of the most sophisticated absorbable dermal fillers currently in existence.

Outline was developed in France as a cosmetic medicine that works with the skin over and above elemental filling. Like a magnet, it has a unique feature that attracts negatively charged pro-collagen molecules into the middle of the injection. This is enhanced due its gentle positive charge. Once the molecules are contained and protected by Outline, the attracted molecules will assemble together into collagen and eventually form part of the tissue in the area being treated. The attraction stops once there is equalization between the positive and negative charges, thus making the whole process self-limiting and predictable. The best about this is that it creates a perfect framework for new collagen to develop. This is achieved through the replacement of lost tissue in the skin. Since it’s availability since early 2000 in the UK, there have been over 100,0000 treatments in the world.

Most of the polyacrylamides from which this product are made are known to be insoluble, meaning they will never break down. However, the creation of Outline is been done in such a way that once it enters the body, tissue enzymes begin to break it down into fragments of itself. Once broken down, they are removed from the body through a natural process. This is a powerful technology that has been patented by the makers. Outline has the potential to treat every level of the skin and works towards achieving long lasting, natural effects.

No pre-treatment tests are required and the product itself is a longer lasting temporary dermal filler, capable of lasting for up to between two to five years, depending on the type and area of treatment. The product range formulations include Outline original, Outline Ultra and Outline Fine. It is not recommended for people who consume alcohol or may be pregnant or lactating. Individuals with a history of cold sores should have a prescription of anti-viral medicine to avoid worsening of the cold sores. Some of the expected side effects include slight redness and swelling. Additionally, 2 in every 100,000 cases report granuloma as a side effect. The costs can vary in the range of £250 - £400.
