Went to San Diego USA in June to have theory and practical training for a new Poly-L-Lactic ( PLLA) filler called Dermaveill. Dermaveill is a US product produced by a new company owned by the CEO of Sculptra , another PLA filler. The studies for lipo atrophy and liquid lifting was conducted in a renowned, private medical centre in Tijuana, Mexico by DrJorge Tagle, their famous plastic & Cosmetic Surgeon. The trip was made fun by TJ, our organiser from Sunward.
On the first day we had a session on the product, it's development, it's correct usage, it's potential complications and side effects and it advantages. Dermaveill is better then Sulptra as it's molecules elliptical instead of spherical, thus making it easier to inject with less needle blockage. It also has no risk of forming nodules in the long term allowing for more superficial injection techniques.
The next day we went to Tijuana to have injection demonstration and guidance by DrTagle who has injected over 5000 patients with Dermaveill in the course of 2years! His results are really impressive with some lasting more then 2 years! Some of the faces look so different and so much more youthful.
I love this new product.
On the last day, we had to seat for an exam to ensure that all technique is correct and product is understood well. As we are the first 3 Drs in Malaysia exposed to Dermaveill PLA and will be the trainers for future Malaysian Drs.
In summary Dermaveille is a new Poly lactic acid PLA filler which after injected allows for natural reservation of collagen. Because it is in liquid form ( water base) it can be injected anywhere in the face, safely. It is beautiful for volume replacement especially for faces that has "deflated" over the years from simply aging, sagging, or loss of weight or from ill health. After injected, the final result is very natural looking making the person look more refreshed and "lifted" without the overdone look of harder fillers or the stiffness of surgery. It only need 2 sessions 1 month apart for optimal results that will last 15-18 months but patients are recommended to best do a touch up every 12 months to maintain a good collagen stimulation.
