FILLMED (FILORGA)® ART FILLER FINE LINES w/ Lidocaine

Product Overview: FILLMED (FILORGA)® ART FILLER FINE LINES w/ Lidocaine

FILLMED (FILORGA)® ART FILLER FINE LINES w/ Lidocaine is an injectable, non-pyrogenic, transparent viscoelastic gel. It is formulated with hyaluronic acid (HA) utilizing advanced Tri-Hyal® Technology and incorporates 0.3% lidocaine hydrochloride for enhanced patient comfort. Developed by Fillmed Laboratoires (Paris, France), this “Fine Lines” filler is specifically engineered with a soft, smooth texture ideal for treating superficial wrinkles and delicate areas.

It is indicated for the correction of fine lines such as crow’s feet, perioral lines, and other superficial cutaneous depressions where a subtle filling effect is desired.

Note: This medical device is intended for administration solely by licensed medical professionals trained and experienced in dermal filler injection techniques, particularly for superficial placement.

Mechanism of Action and Properties

FILLMED® ART FILLER FINE LINES leverages Tri-Hyal® Technology, which involves a precise combination of different chain lengths of hyaluronic acid and optimized cross-linking. This creates a supple and easily spreadable gel, specifically adapted for superficial injections. The technology aims to provide:

• Precise Correction: For fine, shallow lines without overcorrection.
• Smooth Integration: Ensuring the gel blends seamlessly into the superficial dermis.
• Natural Results: Maintaining natural skin texture and expression.

Upon injection into the superficial dermis, the HA gel provides immediate, subtle volume to efface fine lines. It also attracts and retains water molecules, contributing to improved skin hydration and a refreshed appearance in the treated area. The 0.3% lidocaine hydrochloride provides local anesthesia, minimizing discomfort during the injection process. The gel’s soft consistency allows for easy injection and even distribution in delicate skin.

Clinical effects typically last for several months, often cited around 9-12 months, though individual patient results will vary based on factors such as metabolism, skin type, lifestyle, area treated, volume injected, and practitioner technique.

Indications and Usage

FILLMED® ART FILLER FINE LINES w/ Lidocaine is indicated for the treatment of superficial wrinkles and fine lines, including:

• Crow’s feet (fine lines around the eyes)
• Perioral lines (fine lines around the mouth, e.g., “barcode” lines)
• Fine forehead lines
• Superficial cheek lines
• Other delicate superficial skin creases

Injection depth is into the superficial dermis. Administration should be performed by qualified practitioners using appropriate techniques for fine line correction.

Expected Outcomes

Professional application aims to achieve:

• Effective smoothing of superficial wrinkles and fine lines
• A natural-looking rejuvenation of the treated areas
• Improved skin texture and hydration locally
• Enhanced overall facial appearance with minimal intervention
• Enhanced patient comfort due to the inclusion of lidocaine

Potential Adverse Events

Practitioners must thoroughly discuss potential side effects with patients. Common, generally temporary reactions include:

• Common Reactions: Swelling, bruising, redness (erythema), pain or tenderness at injection sites, temporary palpable firmness or small bumps (more likely with superficial injections if not perfectly placed). These typically resolve within a few days.
• Less Common/Rare but Serious Reactions: Prolonged swelling or firmness, significant hematoma, infection, inflammatory reactions (sometimes delayed), hypersensitivity/allergic reaction (to HA or lidocaine), nodule or granuloma formation, skin discoloration, Tyndall effect (bluish discoloration if injected too superficially or in very thin skin), abscess formation (pus), vascular occlusion (rare but serious, though risk is lower with superficial injections than deep ones), tissue necrosis (rare).

Meticulous technique and careful placement are crucial for superficial injections. Patients should report any severe, prolonged, or unexpected reactions immediately.
