Depending on your skin and individual needs, your Skin Renewal doctor will choose the most suitable product from the Saypha® range to meet your needs and expectations.
There are 3 products in the Saypha® range namely:
- Saypha® FILLER Lidocaine is used to correct moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds and to increase lip volume, for reconstructive treatment, for instance, of facial lipoatrophy, debilitating scars, or morphological asymmetry.
- Saypha® VOLUME Lidocaine is used to correct deeper wrinkles and folds, increase or restore volume to the face, and remodel facial contours, for reconstructive treatment, for instance, of facial lipoatrophy, debilitating scars, or morphological asymmetry.
- Saypha® VOLUME PLUS is for facial tissue augmentation in order to correct midface volume deficit, for restoring facial volume, and shaping the contours of the face.
The injections are done with very fine needles and are usually pain free. Subject to the treated area and your sensitivity, an anaesthetic cream or block can be applied prior to the procedure.
Post-treatment discomfort such as temporary tenderness, redness, swelling or bruising on the injected area may be possible. These symptoms are usually mild to moderate and disappear on their own in less than 7 days. Patients are able to return to their daily activities as normal directly after this procedure.
The results of an aesthetic treatment with Saypha® Fillers are long lasting, but not permanent. Saypha filler is absorbable by the body and its results last between 6-10 months.
Treatments with Saypha® must not be used on the following patients:
- Patients who tend to develop hypertrophic scarring
- Patients with a history of auto–immune disease or who are receiving immune therapy
- Patients who are known to be hypersensitive to hyaluronic acid
- Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding
- Patients under 18 years
- Areas presenting cutaneous, inflammatory or infectious processes
Laser and dermal fillers would very possibly be good options, and perhaps even some carboxytherapy (a combination of the 3 would give you great results). Other options that are highly effective, but do come with a fair bit of downtime include treatments such as Jett Plasma, CO2 Fractional Laser, Pearl Fractional Laser or Fraxel Laser. There are certainly many things that could be a consideration, even under eye dermal filler might be an option, but it all depends on the severity of the condition and the outcome that you are hoping to achieve. It is very important to choose the correct "tools" for the job.
