FILLMED (FILORGA)® ART FILLER LIPS w/ Lidocaine

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

FILLMED (FILORGA)® ART FILLER LIPS 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 during treatment. This product is developed by Fillmed Laboratoires (Paris, France), a recognized specialist in aesthetic medicine, continuing the legacy of Filorga Laboratoires in this field. ART FILLER Lips is specifically engineered for the delicate and dynamic lip area.

It is indicated for lip augmentation, contouring, hydration, and the correction of perioral lines directly associated with lip aesthetics.

Note: This medical device is intended for administration solely by licensed medical professionals trained and experienced in lip anatomy and advanced dermal filler injection techniques.

Mechanism of Action and Properties

FILLMED® ART FILLER LIPS leverages Tri-Hyal® Technology, which involves a precise combination of different chain lengths of hyaluronic acid and optimized cross-linking. This technology aims to create a cohesive gel that provides an ideal balance of sculpting capability, smooth integration, and natural feel within the highly mobile lip tissues. Upon injection into the lip mucosa or appropriate dermal plane, the HA gel provides immediate volume. It also attracts and binds water molecules, contributing to enhanced lip hydration and plumpness. The 0.3% lidocaine hydrochloride provides local anesthesia, minimizing discomfort during the injection process.

The formulation is designed to offer both projection for volume and suppleness for natural movement and feel, aiming for long-lasting yet natural-looking lip enhancement. The gel’s texture is specifically adapted for easy shaping and a soft result in the lips.

Indications and Usage

FILLMED® ART FILLER LIPS w/ Lidocaine is specifically indicated for aesthetic enhancement of the lips and the immediate perioral area, including:

• Lip volume augmentation (plumping)
• Enhancement and definition of the vermilion border and Cupid’s bow
• Correction of lip asymmetry
• Improvement of lip hydration and texture
• Smoothing of fine perioral lines (e.g., smoker’s lines, lines at the lip corners)

Injection should be performed into the lip mucosa or the appropriate dermal layer for perioral lines by qualified practitioners, using suitable techniques tailored to lip anatomy and desired aesthetic outcomes.

Expected Outcomes

Professional application aims to achieve:

• Naturally enhanced lip volume and projection
• Well-defined and sculpted lip contours
• Soft, well-hydrated, and smooth lip texture
• A balanced and harmonious lip appearance that complements facial features
• High patient satisfaction due to comfortable treatment and natural-feeling results

Clinical effects can last for several months, often cited up to 12-18 months, but duration varies based on individual patient factors (metabolism, lifestyle), the volume injected, and the practitioner’s technique.

Potential Adverse Events

Given the vascularity and sensitivity of the lip area, practitioners must thoroughly discuss potential side effects. Common, generally temporary reactions include:

• Common Reactions: Swelling (which can be notable in the lips), bruising, redness (erythema), pain or tenderness at injection sites, temporary palpable firmness or lumps. These typically resolve within a few days to a week.
• Less Common/Rare but Serious Reactions: Prolonged swelling or firmness, significant hematoma, infection, hypersensitivity/allergic reaction (to HA or lidocaine), nodule or granuloma formation, skin discoloration, vascular occlusion (a rare but serious complication requiring immediate intervention), tissue necrosis (rare), reactivation of cold sores (herpes simplex).

Meticulous technique and comprehensive knowledge of lip anatomy are crucial. Patients should report any severe, prolonged, or unexpected reactions immediately.

Storage Conditions

Store between 2°C and 25°C, away from direct sunlight and freezing temperatures. Do not use if the package is damaged.
