TEOSYAL® ULTRA DEEP

Product Overview: TEOSYAL® ULTRA DEEP

TEOSYAL® ULTRA DEEP is a sterile, non-pyrogenic, transparent, viscoelastic gel composed of highly cross-linked hyaluronic acid (HA) of non-animal origin. Manufactured by Teoxane Laboratories (Geneva, Switzerland), this robust formulation is engineered for deep tissue placement to achieve significant volume correction and structural support. Its high viscosity and cohesivity make it particularly suitable for treating deep wrinkles and folds, as well as for sculpting facial contours.

This product is indicated for volumizing areas like the cheeks and chin, correcting severe nasolabial folds, marionette lines, and addressing other deep cutaneous depressions in regions with substantial skin thickness.

Note: Administration of TEOSYAL® ULTRA DEEP requires expertise in deep injection techniques and facial anatomy and is restricted to licensed medical professionals.

Mechanism of Action and Properties

TEOSYAL® ULTRA DEEP functions primarily through its significant space-filling and lifting capacity derived from its highly cross-linked hyaluronic acid structure. When injected into the deep dermis or subcutaneous tissue, its cohesive nature provides substantial volume replacement and support to the overlying tissues, effectively effacing deep wrinkles and folds. The high viscosity helps maintain the product’s shape and position, contributing to effective contouring. While its primary function is structural, the hyaluronic acid component also aids in local tissue hydration by binding water.

The degree of cross-linking contributes to the product’s durability and resistance to enzymatic degradation, generally resulting in a long-lasting clinical effect, typically around 12 months, although individual patient results may vary based on factors like age, skin type, lifestyle, injection technique, and treatment area.

This specific formulation (TEOSYAL® ULTRA DEEP) does not contain integrated lidocaine. Practitioners should employ appropriate measures to manage patient comfort during the procedure.

Indications and Usage

TEOSYAL® ULTRA DEEP is indicated for the correction of deep facial wrinkles and folds, and for volume restoration and contouring, including:

• Deep nasolabial folds
• Severe marionette lines
• Cheek augmentation and volumization
• Chin augmentation
• Jawline sculpting
• Correction of deep skin depressions and scars
• Addressing volume loss in thick-skinned areas

Injection should be performed into the deep dermis or subcutaneous tissue by qualified practitioners using appropriate needle or cannula techniques and strict aseptic standards.

Expected Outcomes

Professional application aims to achieve:

• Significant correction and smoothing of deep facial wrinkles and folds
• Restoration of facial volume in areas such as the cheeks and chin
• Improved definition of facial contours
• A rejuvenated appearance through structural support
• Long-lasting correction

Potential Adverse Events

Practitioners must thoroughly discuss potential side effects with patients prior to treatment, especially considering the deep injection placement. Possible adverse events include:

• Common Reactions (Typically Mild to Moderate and Transient): Injection site swelling, bruising, erythema (redness), pain, tenderness, palpable firmness, or temporary lumpiness. These usually resolve within several days to two weeks.
• Less Common/Rare but Serious Reactions: Prolonged swelling, induration, or tenderness; significant hematoma; infection; inflammatory reactions (sometimes delayed onset); hypersensitivity/allergic reactions; formation of persistent nodules or granulomas; skin discoloration; abscess formation; contour irregularities; vascular complications (e.g., compression or intravascular injection leading to ischemia or necrosis – rare but serious); nerve effects (e.g., temporary paresthesia – rare).

A comprehensive understanding of facial anatomy, safe injection planes, and prompt management of complications is crucial. Patients must report any severe, persistent, or concerning reactions immediately.

Storage Conditions

Store between 2°C and 25°C. Protect from freezing temperatures and direct sunlight. Verify package integrity before use.
