Verafil® Surgical Implants
As we age, normal environmental effects such as sun damage and gravity contribute to a decrease in youthful appearance. The skin loses elasticity resulting in sagging, lips become thinner, indentations, folds and creases in the skin become increasingly visible.
Many options are available to the consumer for help in alleviating some of these inevitable signs of aging. Topical applications in the form of collagen or collagen-like formulas to permanent implants are becoming ever more popular. Other temporary solutions such as injectable fillers for augmentation of lips and the nasal labial folds provide satisfactory outcome, however, require repeat treatments to maintain optimal results. In addition, adverse outcomes such as granulomas (sub-dermal lumps and bumps) are not infrequently associated with this method of tissue filler. Due to required repeat treatments, associated costs related to the maintenance of tissue augmentation can become cost prohibitive for many people over time.
Permanent implants made up of various synthetic materials currently on the market provide long lasting augmentation, however, result in unsatisfactory scar tissue formation often necessitating removal or replacement. Palpable stiffness and implant edges are some of the issues that have been observed with these implants.
Evera Medical’s Verafil products are designed specifically to address these issues. The Verafil implant provides a novel device that not only is a cost-effective alternative to temporary tissue fillers, but overcomes many of the challenges with existing augmentation implants. The Verafil implant procedure is a short office-based treatment requiring only a local anesthetic. |
