The Procedure

The procedure usually needs local anesthesia to be carried out and must be done by a medical professional in his or her office. The entire procedure may take as little as 20 minutes and there is mild to severe discomfort from the needle itself depending on the pain threshold of the patient.

The compound which is injected is a mixture of calcium hydroxyl apatite microspheres that are added to a carboxymethylcellulose gel. The gel also has water, glycerin, carbon, oxygen and hydrogen. The microspheres have the properties of attaching themselves around the connective tissue so that they can stay there and act as filler making the area appear plump and younger. This action is also what impacts wrinkles so greatly.

Steps

• The doctor evaluates the facial structure of the patient and chooses points of injections depending on the severity of your wrinkles and what the patient has indicated.
• The right amount of the gel will be decided on and a syringe will be prepared.
• After evaluating the subcutis and dermis layers, the injection is carried out. The swelling which results will usually go down in 36 hours or less.
