AlloDerm wrinkle injections (dermatofiller) is a method in which wrinkles, scars, facial irregularities and contour imperfections are corrected by injections.Almost everyone has some kind of skin imperfections. However, wrinkles, acne scars (e.g. condition after acne vulgaris), scars from injuries and contour imperfections can be very visible and disturbing.While in the past there were practically no easy-to-perform ways to remove or improve these skin imperfections, today wrinkle injection (filler therapy) is a recognized and effective procedure to get beautiful and even skin.
Indications (areas of application)
Before treatment
- Before the start of treatment, an educational and counseling discussion should take place between the physician and the patient. The content of the conversation should be the goals, expectations and the possibilities of treatment, as well as side effects and risks.
- The patient should not apply makeup at least one day before treatment; if this is not done, the skin should be treated with chlorhexidine for at least three minutes after makeup is removed. Regardless, clean the skin before the injection.
- The patient should clean the hands with an alcohol-based gel.
The procedure
The AlloDerm consists of foreign human collagen (this serves as a filler; English to fill = fill up). The collagen matrix is produced from collagen-containing dermis. Collagen is one of the resorbable filler substances.
AlloDerm is available in strips and is particularly suitable for large skin defects.Wrinkle injection is performed along the corresponding skin fold, scar or contour irregularity. As a result, it relines and tightens the skin, improving skin contour.Alloderm is naturally broken down by the body and the treatment can be repeated without difficulty.
Lip plumping should always be performed at the end of the treatment. The practitioner should take care not to touch any other parts of the face after the mucosa (oral mucosa) has been touched.The procedure is performed on an outpatient basis – under local anesthesia (local anesthetic) if desired – with a short treatment and recovery period.

- Avoid extreme cold or heat for at least 48 hours.
- Avoid strenuous physical activity.
- Do not massage the treated region!
- Sleep one night with head slightly elevated.
- Do not perform skin cleansing until after 24 hours.
