What Is Dermalogen ?
Dermalogen, contains intact collagen
fibrils, elastic network, and proteoglycans similar to the native skin dermis.
Dermalogen is processed so it can be injected into the human skin to repair
defects.
What Types Of Conditions Is Dermalogen Best Used
For?
Dermalogen can be used for treating
facial contour defects. The most common treatments involve: naso-labial( sides
of the nose), peri-oral lines( above the lips), the vermilion ridge( between the
eyebrows), oral commissures( "smile Lines") and depressed scars( e.g.,acne).
Consult your physician to determine if you are a potential candidate for
Dermalogen treatment.
How Long Does A Dermalogen Treatment Last?
The companies results to date with
its similar autogous human tissue matrix show significant correction for many
months after final treatment for most patients. Ongoing clinical studies are
being conducted with Dermalogen.
Is Dermalogen Treatment A Replacement for
Laser-Skin Resurfacing, Chemical Peels, Or Dermabrasion?
No but it can be efficacious when
used alone or in concert with these procedures for the treatment of facial
contour defects.
How Many Treatments Are Required?
Typically two to three treatments are
required over a three-month period to correct most dermal depressions.
Improvements with Dermalogen are progressive. After the first treatment you will
see some change, but each additional treatment yields more improvements.
Are The Treatments Painful?
Your doctor will inject Dermalogen
with fine gauge needle. Most patients have found these injections tolerable with
the use of Xylocaine, used in dental procedure.
What Will I Look Like Right After Treatment?
Most patients the improvement in
appearance is immediate. Some patients find that their skin, at the injection
sites, is red or blanched for hours after treatment. If you have a history of
bruising, a bruise may result. Your physician will discuss other potential side
effects with you during your consultation.
The Donor Tissue Are Safe.
Tissue comes from donors in much the
same way donated organs do. Other applications for processed donor tissue
include burn surgery, periodental (gum) surgery, and bone implants. These number
in the hundreds of thousands of implants per year. Tissue donors are very
carefully tested. The tissue banks follow federally mandated guidelines.
