Uptourn Fillers
Primary Attributes of Uptourn Fillers
1. Smooth Extrusion
Uptourn Fillers are designed to easily extrude from the syringe due to the gel’s viscous-elastic characteristics.
Our Italian manufacturer, VIDA Pharma, has developed a process to produce products with adjustable viscosity, customizable by hyaluronic acid’s crosslinking, concentration and molecular weight.
Using the M.M.A (Macro Molecular Alignment) technology, our manufacturer employs heat and direct mechanical extrusion to align cross-linked hyaluronic acid molecules. This ensures smooth gel extrusion from the syringe while retaining the product’s desired viscosity.
2. Precise Gel Distribution
Uptourn fillers adjust cohesivity based on concentration and cross-linking for optimal tissue distribution. The soft product’s lower cohesivity aids in effective distribution, especially in the dermis’s upper layers, boosting hydration.
On the other hand, the Strong and Extra Strong fillers have high cohesivity, ideal for filling and volume.
3. Resilience to Tissue Stress
Uptourn fillers have the ability to adapt and respond to various tissues stresses, such as compression, ensuring long-lasting results.
Uptourn fillers, like Strong and Extra-Strong, have an elastic modulus (G’) over 150 Pas, providing a strong response to both parallel tissue movements and skin projection.
4. Dynamic Compatibility
The gel exhibits plastic behavior, allowing it to match the natural dynamics of the face and its expressions, providing a natural appearance.
Uptourn fillers match facial expressions due to their elasticity, allowing them to provide both shape and volume to the face.
Using the M.F.H.A technique, hyaluronic acid gel particles are minimized to millimeters, improving moisture retention, adaptability, and leading to a better balance of elasticity and viscosity across various stress levels. This ensures the filler moves dynamically, shifts and changes with natural facial movements.
5. Safe Biodegradation
Uptourn fillers undergo natural biodegradation over time, ensuring maximum safety and security for patients as the product gradually breaks down.
Uptourn fillers, made of pharmaceutical-grade biotechnological hyaluronic acid, are free from contaminants and byproducts, ensuring safety during use and as they degrade in the body.
Biodegradation of the filler happens naturally when hyaluronidases break down the hyaluronic acid. This leads to safe elimination over time, ensured by the purity of ingredients and the manufacturing process.
Uptourn Volume
Uptourn Volume is a leading crosslinked hyaluronic acid product for filling areas of the body. It is a low-viscosity hydrogel that is easy to administer and can diffuse into tissues. While its rheological properties are similar to linear hyaluronic acid products like Bio-revitalizer, Uptourn Volume has a highly crosslinked structure that increases its residence time in the injected area and acts as a reservoir of water to keep tissues hydrated longer.
Uptourn Volume is made through innovative production methods to achieve the desired physical properties.
Uptourn Volume has a viscosity comparable to Uptourn Soft but with more crosslinking. Our manufacturing process involves strategic hydration and swelling to maintain the crosslinking while increasing the gel’s volume and diffusion capacity in tissues. This also extends its in vivo residence time compared to unmodified hyaluronic acid and maintains hydration levels.
