Dermal Fillers: Polyalkylimide

Hereā€™s how it works

Whether used to plump up lips or treat deeper wrinkles and depressed scars, polyalkylimide dermal filler is a widely used semi-permanent filler. Itā€™s also used to enhance cheekbones and jawline, replacing facial volume that is lost during the aging process. Another common use is for HIV-positive patients who have facial lipoatropohy, or facial wasting, a side effect of the antiretroviral medications used to treat the disease.

Whatā€™s unique about polyalkylimide is that it can be molded into place. One injection can insert a large amount, and if needed, it can be removed. Other advantages of using polyalkylimide filler include the fact that itā€™s biocompatible ā€“ minimal reaction with human tissue; there is no allergy test required and it wonā€™t interfere with X-rays.
