STYLAGE® products must be injected into the area to be treated, where they will generate volume. The products will then be resorbed slowly over time. The duration of the products depends on the patient’s skin type and the depth of injection.

An injectable gel indicated for the restoration or augmentation of facial volume by injection into the deep dermis or subcutaneously.

This Stylage® formulation is an injectable hyaluronic acid-based volumiser specifically designed to restore lost facial contours. By restoring facial fullness, This formulation provides a more harmonious balance to the facial features by re-contouring the cheeks, cheekbones, chin, and jawline for a fuller, softer, more youthful appearance. Designed to treat mature skin which shows signs of sagging and facial hollows. Use Stylage® XXL in the subcutaneous tissue.

• Methods of injection:
  • Slowly inject product into the area indicated, using the sterile needle provided/the cannula chosen. It is recommended to use the technique of linear threading injection, multi-point injection, or a combination of both techniques.
  • If an injection is too deep, the effectiveness of the correction will be reduced. If an injection is too superficial, dis-colouration of the skin or slight indurations may appear or the correction may be irregular.
  • The amount to be injected depends on the skin defect to be corrected. Only the practitioner can define the dose to be injected for obtaining an optimal correction.
  • Do not over-correct. In the event of over-correction, small indurations or irregular correction may appear.
  • It is advised not to use more than 2.0 ml per treated area in a single session, and not to inject more than 20 ml of cross-linked hyaluronic acid per person per year.
  • If the needle/cannula is blocked, do not increase the pressure required for injection. Replace the needle/cannula.
  • After the injection, do not apply a cold pack; massage the treated area well in order to optimise the uniformity of the correction.

Contraindications:

• These products must not be used:
  • In combination with a peeling, laser treatment, or dermabrasion. The practitioner shall decide upon the necessary waiting period after these treatments before the injection;
  • In areas where the skin is thin (e.g. the forehead and the periorbital region, including the eyelids, the under-eye shadows, the crow’s feet), in areas where the vascular system is exposed (e.g. the glabellar region) and in the lips;
