FillMed M-HA 18

FillMed  M-HA 18 is a dermal filler treatment that is geared towards the correction of superficial lines and wrinkles, as well as cutaneous redensification. FillMed’s dermal filler is manufactured in France, and their lines have been proven to be substantially effective in treating cases like these, and clinical studies show that the product not only works but is also safe for the patient. With over four decades in the industry, FillMed have used their experience to develop M-HA 18 into a cost-effective, painless, and efficient answer to signs of aging.

Which patients can benefit most from FillMed M-HA 18?

Any patient that wants to be clear of any wrinkles or fine lines are more than welcome to make use of FillMed M-HA 18. However, it is recommended that some of the younger patients not start the anti-aging campaign too early, unless there are some specific situations where correction is needed. FillMed recommends somewhere around the age of 30 to be a good benchmark to start delaying the visible signs of aging.

Areas of FillMed M-HA 18 focus

• Various areas of the face– Because this product focuses its treatment on wrinkles and lacking facial volume, most of the targeted areas will be on the patient’s face. Some lines near the mouth found in some smokers, crow’s feet near the eyes, as well as the cheeks where lack of volume are most apparent are some of the most common targets for FillMed M-HA 18.

• Neck and Neckline – Common causes for lines to appear near the neck is dependent on the lifestyle of the patient. They are likely caused by the skin losing its elasticity due to ultraviolet light exposure throughout the lifetime, and it might also appear due to constantly looking down on the phone, not putting on sunscreen, or even smoking.

• Back of the hands – When the back of the hands is showing veins and tendons clearly on the skin, FillMed M-HA 18 can clear those out for patients. The product will replenish and re-plump this area with volume so that the tendons, veins, and joints are no longer prominent.

How the treatment works

FillMed M-HA 18 is made up of a hyaluronic acid concentration at 18mg/mL (hence the name), and glycerol concentration of 20mg/mL. By using this formulation, the product stimulates the body’s hyaluronic acid supply, and this then revitalizes and adds volume into the patient’s skin. With added volume, wrinkles and fine lines will no longer be as apparent, and for areas like the cheeks that might have already lost shape due to aging, will plump back up again. The treatment contains soft gel injectables that are made from stabilized, non-animal-based hyaluronic acid which gives patients that natural, soft look.

Treatment details

FillMed M-HA 18 is a medical product, and therefore is recommended that a trained medical practitioner be the one to administer the treatment on patients. The formulation should be injected into the superficial dermal tissue, or even deeper in order to improve elasticity and tone of the patients’ skin, as well as fill out the lines in the area.

How long will the treatment last?

Initial treatment is recommended to be spread over 3 to 6 sessions, each one a week apart ideally. Afterwards the effects are expected to last around 3 to 6 months. For even better results, it is also recommended that it be taken alongside mesotherapy treatments like NCTF 135 or NCTF 135 HA from the same company, FillMed/Filorga.

Safety information

FillMed M-HA 18 is clinically proven to be safe for use on a vast majority of patients. However, for the safety of the patient, it is suggested that people with certain ailments or sensitivities aren’t recommended to use this product. Pregnant or breastfeeding women, minors, and persons with autoimmune disease should not make use of this treatment. We also recommend to make sure that nobody who has a predisposed hypersensitivity to any of the ingredients make use of this product.

Any areas of the body that have already been treated with a permanent filler should be avoided, as well as areas of the skin that struggle with inflammatory or infectious ailments.

Other Side-effects

Some minor swelling or redness have a chance to show up immediately after the procedure in the area injected. This area might also become irritated, and we recommend that patients avoid itching it as much as possible. Some slight pain and minor lumps might also appear, but the vast majority of all side-effects are resolved in less than one week.

Time needed for recovery

If no side-effects are observed, there is no downtime reported when using FillMed M-HA 18, and the patient is immediately able to do normal activities upon leaving the clinic. However, it is recommended that overexposure to the sun and high temperatures are to be avoided for a week.

Cost of FillMed M-HA 18

FillMed M-HA 18 is both affordable and effective for both clinics and patients alike. The package costs around $60 and contains one 1mL dose of the treatment in a pre-filled sterilized syringe, and two 30G needles.

Bottom line

Because of the leaps and bounds in hyaluronic acid-based treatments done by FillMed/Filorga over the past few decades, patients can now ensure that signs of aging can be held at bay. FillMed M-HA 18 is one of the products developed by this esteemed French group, and can definitely be relied on by both patients and clinics alike.
