| Facial wrinkles and creases are part
of the aging process. They begin to appear as the underlying collagen
and elastin fibers break down and wear out. While this breakdown
is part of the natural aging process, it can also result from excessive
squinting, frowning and smiling.
ZydermŪ and ZyplastŪ implants are composed of highly purified bovine
dermal collagen that is dispersed in phosphate buffered physiological
saline containing 0.3% lidocaine.
Zyderm® and Zyplast®
ZydermŪ and ZyplastŪ implants are indicated for the correction of
contour deformities of the dermis in non-weight-bearing areas. These
implants have been employed successfully in many areas of the body
to correct distensible acne scars; atrophy from disease or trauma;
glabellar frown lines; nasolabial folds; rhinoplasty, skin graft
or other surgically-induced irregularities; and other soft tissue
defects.
ZydermŪ and ZyplastŪ implants are produced in various formulations,
which are appropriate for different facial areas and conditions.
- ZydermŪ 1 implant is used to treat fine lines, wrinkles, shallow
scars and thin-skinned areas.
- ZydermŪ 2 implant is used to treat moderate lines, wrinkles and
scars.
- ZyplastŪ implant is used to treat pronounced lines and wrinkles,
scars, and thicker-skinned areas.
Patients experience immediate, visible results. Treatment with ZydermŪ
or ZyplastŪ implants is an easy and effective way to smooth
lines, wrinkles, scars, and to define the
lip border. An immediate,
visible difference in the patient's appearance may be achieved in
one treatment session.
Four weeks prior to the procedure,
a collagen test Implant is administered
intradermally into the volar forearm to determine if a patient has
a sensitivity to the implants. Ninety seven percent (97%) of men
and women tested can be treated with ZydermŪ and ZyplastŪ implants.
If a patient is eligible to receive treatment, ZydermŪ and ZyplastŪ
implants are implanted intradermally through a fine gauge needle
into the appropriate facial planes needed for correction. Treatment
with ZydermŪ and ZyplastŪ implants consists of a simple in-office
procedure that can be completed quickly and conveniently, even during
a lunch hour. Most patients return to their normal routine immediately
following the procedure. An ongoing series of customized treatments can preserve the look
that is desired. These treatments are as easy and convenient as
the first one.
ZydermŪ and Zyplast® implants, introduced in the early
1980's, remain the most widely used, safe, and effective choices
for smoothing lines, wrinkles, scars, and for defining the
lip border.
More than 1 million treatments in over 40 countries have been administered
with ZydermŪ and ZyplastŪ implants.
Rigorous clinical trials to determine the safety and efficacy of ZydermŪ
and ZyplastŪ collagen implants were conducted from 1976 to
1981. This data was submitted to the Food and Drug Administration
and ZydermŪ and ZyplastŪ implants were cleared for marketing in 1981
and 1985 respectively. No other injectable collagen implants currently
on the market have undergone such extensive study.
