Absorbable
Laresse is a bioabsorbable filler, which means it is not a permanent implant. Laresse is gradually absorbed and naturally cleared by the body over time
Animal or bacterial by-products
All Collagen and Hyaluronic Acid (HA) dermal fillers are made from animal or bacterial sources. In the process of making these fillers, some of the source material like bacterial endotoxins and proteins are left behind.
Biomaterial
A biocompatible material (often called a "biomaterial") is a synthetic or natural material that is suitable and safe for use in the human body. Biomaterials play a major role in replacing or improving function in nearly every body system.
Biocompatible
Capable of coexistence with living tissue or organisms without causing a harmful effect to the body.
Carboxymethylcellulose (CMC)
A naturally derived, biocompatible polysaccharide and a component of Laresse Dermal Filler. CMC has been safely used for decades in a wide variety of medical products, pharmaceuticals and foods.
CE Mark approved
Laresse is approved for sale in the European Union (EU). The CE Mark is given to products complying with the essential requirements of the medical device directive. CE Marking on a product indicates that product is approved for distribution in the EU.
Chemical cross-linking
Hyaluronic acid (HA) is unstable in its natural state and will rapidly clear from the dermis unless chemically cross-linked during manufacturing. Cross-linking creates a new chemical bond or link between molecules. The cross-linking chemicals used to stabilize HA fillers may be toxic or carcinogenic and may trigger an immunogenic response.
Collagen
A protein forming strong bundles of fibers and serving as connective tissue between cells. Collagen is found in skin, bone, cartilage, tendon, and other connective tissue. Collagen-based dermal fillers are derived from animal (bovine or avian) or human (cadaver) sources.
Dermal filler
A product that is injected under fine lines, wrinkles and folds to smooth the skin and shape desired contours. An increasing number of patients are looking to physicians to help them achieve a more youthful appearance. A non-surgical, minimally invasive method is the use of a dermal filler to correct the appearance of facial lines and wrinkles.
Dermis
An inner layer of skin. The dermis is the connective tissue layer of the skin located below the epidermis (outer layer) The dermis contains nerve endings, sweat and sebaceous glands, and blood and lymph vessels.
Hyaluronic acid (HA)
A polysaccharide that serves as a viscous, lubricating substance in body tissue and joints. Hyaluronic acid-based dermal fillers are derived from either bacterial fermentation or animal by-products, and therefore can contain residual animal proteins or bacterial endotoxins, which may trigger local tissue reactions. Natural hyaluronic acid is rapidly degraded by the enzyme hyaluronidase, so it must be chemically cross-linked in order to be useful as a dermal filler in skin.
Hypersensitivity reaction
An allergic response of the body's immune system when exposed to a certain substance.
Laresse
Laresse is a non-permanent but long-lasting, ultra-smooth, pure dermal filler made from bioabsorbable medical polymers, used for correction of fine lines and wrinkles
Medical polymer
A high-quality, medical-grade material that is created from a polymer. A polymer is a large, organic molecule that is formed by combining many smaller molecules (monomers) in a regular pattern.
Non-permanent filler
Temporary replacement of the skin's inner structure to fill in lines, wrinkles and deep creases. . Most dermal fillers are non-permanent. Desired results are maintained through regular sessions.
Particles/micro-particles
Dermal fillers composed hyaluronic acids (HA) are made up of small, non-uniform gel particles and fragments, giving them a granular, sand-like texture which can lead to clumping. By contrast, Laresse is scientifically-advanced, cohesive gel that contains no particles.
Protein-free
Unlike other fillers, Laresse is not derived from bacterial or animal sources; therefore, is completely free of bacterial and animal proteins.
Soft tissue augmentation
A minimally invasive procedure in which a dermal filling product (a.k.a. dermal filler) is used to correct skin contour defects that have resulted from aging, photo-damage, trauma, scarring or disease.
Ultra-pure
Laresse is derived from pure, absorbable medical polymers. It is non-animal, non-bacterial, and is not chemically cross-linked.
Non-permanent Laresse gel is designed to surpass the limitations of hylauronic acid and collagen fillers and represents a new level of purity in dermal fillers.
Ultra-smooth
Laresse is a clear, colorless gel that is completely free of particles, providing an ultra-smooth, elegant texture for a natural look and feel.
