Overview of ReDexis Dermal Fillers
Advertisement
When it comes to injectable fillers, most people think of Botox, Restylane and Juvederm. However, there are now dozens of other dermal fillers on the market that offer promising results. ReDexis is one of the latest dermal fillers available in the United States, and the filler is designed to treat deep lines and fill out the lips. Unlike other dermal fillers on the market, ReDexis lasts up to 12 months and can also help with tissue regeneration. Here’s a close look at the benefits and drawbacks of ReDexis dermal fillers:
How ReDexis Works
ReDexis is made with a combination of hyaluronic acid and a compound known as Sephadex, or Dextranomer beads. Hyaluronic acid is a thick, gel-like substance that is already used in other dermal fillers on the market, but the compound does tend to be absorbed by the body over time. Dextranomer beads are included in the ReDexis formula because these can increase collagen production at the injection site, and naturally start to replace lost collagen in the dermis.
ReDexis can be used in several facial compartments including the cheeks, deep grooves around the mouth, lines around the nose, and deep lines on the forehead. It is also an attractive choice for lip augmentation procedures because it provides instant, natural-looking results and lasts up to a year.
Key Benefits of ReDexis Dermal Fillers
Some of the key benefits of ReDexis dermal fillers include:
- Natural look and feel
- Improves skin elasticity
- Triggers the body’s own production of collagen
- Easy to administer
- Treatments can be administered on almost any area of the face
- Similar cost range as other dermal fillers
- Dextranomer beads are bio-degradable
- Little to no risk of side effects because hyaluronic acid is already present in the body
Drawbacks of ReDexis Dermal Fillers
While ReDexis dermal fillers do hoffer a number of benefits, there are some drawbacks to keep in mind. ReDexis will get absorbed by the body after 12 months, so touch-ups will be necessary to maintain results. Some people may experience an allergic reaction to ReDexis because it is still made of synthetic materials. However, allergic reactions are very rare. Patients that are taking any steroidal antii-nflammatories such as Advil, Aspirin, or Vitamin E and other blood thinning agents are advised not to take these drugs and supplements up to one week before treatment to avoid the risk of excessive bleeding and swelling.
ReDexis is among the several ‘next generation’ dermal fillers on the market, and offers a number of benefits for men and women interested in eliminating or reducing the signs of aging. While it is a relatively new filler on the market, it is available at several medical spas and cosmetic surgery centers around the United States. The company that makes ReDexis has also introduced ReDexis Ultra which lasts p to 24 months, and is well-suited for facial reshaping and adding contours to the face.
