Dermalive® and Dermadeep®

Dermalive ® and Dermadeep® are two products that combine the benefits of hyaluronic acid and the longevity of acrylic hyrdrogel. These semi-permanent injectable fillers successfully treat deep creases, wrinkles, and scars, while transforming patients’ looks by lessening skin imperfections and reshaping facial contours in ways that might otherwise require invasive surgery. Both Dermalive® and Dermadeep® hold their volume for between five and 10 years, allowing patients to enjoy your youthful appearance without worrying about touchup procedures.

What Are Dermalive® and Dermadeep®?

Dermalive® and Dermadeep® are injectable implants that fill in deep facial creases, folds, and scars; correcting imperfections in the skin and even remolding facial contours in a way that might otherwise require surgery. Dermalive® and Dermadeep® utilize hyaluronic acid and acrylic hyrdrogel. Because of its liquid quality, hyaluronic acid is used to provide an even treatment for uniformly smooth skin.

In the months following the procedure, the hyaluronic acid is completely broken down by the body, leaving behind only acrylic hyrdrogel. This substance provides patients with results that last five to ten years — without the need for follow up treatments.

Dermalive ® and Dermadeep® are non-animal based and proven safe. A dermatologist or cosmetic surgeon can help you determine if these treatments are right for you.

What Areas Can Be Treated with Dermalive®/ Dermadeep®?

The applications of Dermalive® and Dermadeep® are many. These products are commonly used to treat deep facial creases and folds, such as the nasolabial fold (which goes from the side of the nose to the edge of the mouth). Dermalive® and Dermadeep® can also successfully fill in facial scars, sunken cheeks, and other creases and folds that occur as a result of age. Interestingly, Dermalive® and Dermadeep® can also help physicians recontour facial features without the need for extensive surgery. With these injectable implants, doctors can provide chin augmentation, help define lip contours, and tighten the skin in ways that are much less invasive than surgery — all in a lasting treatment.

Dermalive® and Dermadeep® Cost and Financing Information

A typical Dermalive® or Dermadeep® treatment costs about $900 to $1,000. The number of treatments needed depends on the patient’s individual case. Only a physician who provides Dermalive® and Dermadeep® can fully assess the health of your skin and your treatment goals in order to accurately determine how much your procedure will cost. Many such physicians offer flexible financing alternatives that allow patients to pay for their treatment in affordable monthly installments.

What to Expect before, during, and after Dermalive® or Dermadeep® Treatment

Before your treatment, your physician will fully discuss with you your goals for the procedure and carefully analyze your individual case. During this consultation, your doctor will also discuss how many treatments you might need to achieve your desired results, how long those results will likely last, and any precautions you should take to avoid complications after your treatment. Neither Dermalive® nor Dermadeep® requires a skin test prior to treatment, saving patients both time and money.

During treatment, patients feel only mild discomfort, which can be mitigated by an anesthetic. After treatment, patients can get up and move around immediately. During the three months following a Dermalive® or Dermadeep® injection, the results continue to improve. First, after only a couple weeks, the hyaluronic acid is fully absorbed by the body. Then, the body’s own natural collagen begins to form around the long-lasting acrylic hyrdrogel that remains, providing an incredibly natural look.

Risks and Benefits of Dermalive® and Dermadeep® Injections

As with any medical procedures, there are risks that must be assessed — however rare — when considering Dermalive® or Dermadeep® treatments. After treatment, short-term swelling and bruising can occur. There is also a rarely occurring side effect known as granuloma. Granuloma refers to the hypersensitivity that can occur at the injection site, sometimes causing lumps and inflammation. This side effect occurs in about one percent of patients. In light of the beautiful, long-lasting, natural-looking results of Dermalive® and Dermadeep®, most patients find the risks involved in the procedures to be negligible.

Speak with a Skin Care Specialist about Your Treatment Options

The best way to determine if Dermalive® or Dermadeep® is right for you is to speak with a local dermatologist in your area who offers these procedures. During your consultation with a physician, you will be able to ask any questions you have in order to better understand these highly effective procedures.
