Novabel dermal shaper delivers a fresh, natural and revitalised look

(22/06/2010)

Hyaluronic acid (HA) dermal fillers has revolutionised the approach to anti-ageing treatments for thousands of women. This Summer a new and even more exciting evolution in the field of injectable facial treatments is coming to the UK.

Novabel®, from Merz Aesthetics, is not a wrinkle filler or line smoother; it is a versatile, gentle yet powerfully effective dermal shaper that delivers a fresh, natural and revitalised look.

But what is even more exciting news for women – and men – who want great treatment results, with minimum down time, is that the unique nature of the Novabel formula means that patients can, for the first time, be ‘camera ready’ the moment they leave the clinic.

Not only are results immediately noticeable following completion of the 20-30 minute procedure but treatment with Novabel is virtually pain-free and leaves minimal post-injection swelling and redness – the adverse events typically observed with traditional dermal fillers.

Whilst Novabel is a non-permanent treatment, trials are already showing that it can last up to 12 months.

Novabel is uniquely based on alginate, a natural and biocompatible polysaccharide extracted from marine algae. Through a patented process, extracted alginate is purified, stabilised and then formed into three-dimensional, flexible microspheres called Geleons™. It’s the patented Geleon technology that sets Novabel apart from all other non-permanent facial aesthetic treatments. Geleons have a number of properties that provide the outstanding results that Novabel achieves in aesthetic practice.

The spherical shape and uniform diameter and lack of cohesion of each Geleon gives Novabel an almost water-like consistency in the syringe. This permits a lower injection force than that typically required by traditional fillers and facilitates the use of extremely fine needles. Three-dimensional Geleons are also densely packed, highly flexible and do not reduce in volume when exposed to pressure. They have ‘shape memory’ which means they can pass through narrow tissue structures and are then able to recapture their original spherical shape. These attributes give Novabel its impressive volumising and shaping capability as well as the versatility to treat multiple areas of the face – from sensitive skin areas such as the hollows under the eyes to contouring the cheeks, chin and jawline and reducing the appearance of nose-to-mouth lines.

Novabel’s combination of ultra-gentle delivery, versatility and long-lasting, natural-looking results has already caused a stir amongst aesthetic practitioners who have recently trialled the product.

According to consultant physician Professor Syed Haq of Plastic Surgery Associates UK and the London Wellness Centre: “Novabel’s flexibility and versatility is remarkable, as is the way that it harmonises so completely with facial tissue. As a physician, it provides a way for me to look not just at specific areas but at the whole face and consider how to restore overall volume and provide facial enhancement.”

Ease of injection and immediate, predictable results also impressed cosmetic doctor Dr Michael Prager, whose advice is sought by some of the world’s richest women: “The patients I injected went straight to photography after treatment. You wouldn’t dare try something like that with an HA filler. I also don’t have to work out which presentations and types of product to use on specific areas. Novabel can work wherever I need it to.”

Manufactured by Merz Pharmaceuticals GmbH, a German pharmaceutical company with over a century of healthcare innovation, Novabel is based on tried and trusted medical technology and has been through comprehensive clinical testing to confirm that it is completely safe as well as effective.

Novabel is only available from UK healthcare professionals who are registered with the Merz Academy® and who have attended a Novabel Expert Workshop.
