1. Before treatment.
2. Inject Zyplast Collagen Implant into the reticular dermis at a 45 degree angle to the skin's surface. A slightly delayed blanch will be observed with the proper placement. Using a serial puncture techniqued, begin injecting at the lower end of the furrow.
3. Massage the area promptly using a double sided massage. Continue to massage each area after every 2-5 injections.
4. Continue with the same technique on the other side. Remember, no overcorrection is recommended with Zyplast.
5. Optimal correction.
Points to remember:
- A stretch test may be performed (by pulling the skin taut) on each indication to assess optimal treatment capability. If the line/wrinkle is eliminated when the skin is pulled taut, full correction may be achieved.
- Correction of 100% is recommended when using Zyplast; do not overcorrect.
- Overcorrection of 200% is recommended when using Zyderm I Collagen Implant.
- Overcorrection of 150% is recommended when using Zyderm II Collagen Implant.
- The ADG needle is recommended for accurate depth control and for maximum results when using the layering technique.
- Optimal correction of nasolabial lines may require more than 1.0cc of Zyderm and/or Zyplast Collagen Implant.
