1. Before treatment.
2. Inject Zyderm I or Zyderm II Collagen Implant directly into the line at a 10-15 degree angle to the skin's surface. Inject using a serial puncture technique parallel or perpendicular to the line. An immediate blanch and wheal should be observed with proper placement.
3. A slight massage may be desired to check for any gaps or incosistencies.
4. Continue with the same technique on the other side.
5. Optimal correction.
Points to remember:
- Zyplast Implant is not recommended for treatment of glabellar lines.
- Overcorrection is not recommended in the glabella.
- Zyderm I or Zyderm II Collagen Implants may extrude from the skin. This is normal and to be expected. If extrusion occurs, avoid pulling the needle out; rotate needle 1/4 turn and continue injecting.
- The ADG needle is recommended for accurate depth control when treating glabellar lines.
