Despite the fact that most fillers for injection contouring have the same composition, the body’s reactions to the substance are different. The individual density, viscosity, and plasticity of a particular drug helps to achieve different results. It is better to entrust the choice of product to an experienced cosmetologist who knows what to expect from a particular filler. Not only American, French, German gels, but also South Korean analogues are considered popular. For example, Dermalex is called a replacement for more expensive, well-known substances.
General characteristics
The production of injectable fillers Dermalax is carried out by the company of the same name from South Korea.
All products are produced using patented technology. The supplier of raw materials is the well-known concern SHISEIDO. The main component of fillers is sodium hyaluronate. Additional substances in the composition are lidocaine and buffer inclusions.
Compound
Thanks to the innovative formula, the brand began to produce fillers with an updated composition:
- Aluminosilicates activate their own mechanisms to restore skin cells at a deep level.
- Epidermal barriers prevent and protect against symptoms of dermatitis through a modified mineral complex.
- A protective barrier against exacerbation is created thanks to alkaline earth complexes. They are also optimized for the treatment of psoriasis.
- Purified water also contains components that help prevent the loss of natural ceramides.
- Vitamin deficiency can be stopped with white petrolatum and cetearyl alcohol.
- The dermatological product also contains liquid paraffin, which moisturizes the skin and makes it softer.
- There are no calcinervin inhibitors and cannabinoids in the composition, as well as artificial dyes and parabens.
Dermalax for lip augmentation was originally intended to treat lip dryness, erosion, itching and redness. The drug solves problems such as rough skin and flaking. The composition contains polysorbate 60, ethyl alcohol and methyl 4-hydroxybenzoate.
These ingredients may cause skin sensitivity and mixed reactions:
Reagent | Characteristic |
Polyoxyethylene-60 | Emulsifier consisting of sorbitol, ethylene oxide and stearic acid (polyoxyethylene-60 sorbitan monostearate). Stearic acid is obtained from vegetable oil, purity > 95%. Viscous liquid of yellowish-brownish color, without or faint odor. Soluble in water and alcohols, insoluble in oil. |
Ethanol | Alcohol, as a cosmetic active, can make up from 0 to 20% of skin care formulas and perform various functions. |
Methyl 4-hydroxybenzoate | Methylparaben is often used in cosmetics as a preservative to prevent the growth of bacteria and mold in products that would be susceptible to microbial growth. It is a broad spectrum antimicrobial agent that is effective over a wide pH range. Interestingly, the mechanism of action of methylparaben, like other parabens, is to interfere with transport processes across the cell membrane, as well as to inhibit the synthesis of DNA, RNA and enzymes in bacterial cells. At the molecular level, methylparaben is characterized by an alkylhydroxybenzoate structure, in which case esterification is carried out with p-hydroxybenzoic acid in the presence of an alcohol (in this case methanol), resulting in the formation of 4-hydroxybenzoic acid methyl ester. Other common parabens used to preserve cosmetic products include ethylparaben, propylparaben, isopropylparaben, isobutylparaben, and benzylparaben. |
Liquid paraffin | Liquid paraffin, liquid petroleum, paraffin oil and liquid petrolatum are all mineral oils. Vaseline has a waxy structure, so it's not as runny, but it still belongs to the same family of ingredients. |
Some components should be used with caution for cosmetic purposes. Multiphase dermal components contain special injectable fillers. Dermalax, made in Korea or Hungary, has a base formula of non-animal ingredients. The active substance is sodium hyaluronate.
