THE GENTLE, POWERFUL, VERSATILE DERMAL SHAPER NOW AVAILABLE IN THE UK - NOVABEL® FROM TENTERDEN AESTHETICS AND LASER CLINIC

In the exploding marketplace of dermal fillers and injectable substance, there have been a lot of  brands that have come and gone. What is exceedingly rare in this evolving landscape however, is to learn of a product that is truly original and unique in its benefits. The early indications are that NOVABEL® has quite a lot to offer to fulfill the quest for the perfect dermal shaper.

At the 12th annual IMCAS Congress held in Paris in January 2010, Frankfurt based Merz Aesthetics introduced a revolutionary new facial shaping agent called NOVABEL that is generating unprecedented excitement among aesthetic practitioners throughout Europe. NOVABEL introduced a new class of aesthetic treatment – an alginate-based dermal shaper developed with patented Geleon™ technology, widely considered a breakthrough in injectable products for facial revitalisation.

The basis of the NOVABEL difference is the naturally derived alginate from brown algae that is significant in its flexibility and stability. Alginate has been proven to be a highly purified, biocompatible, safe substance that has been used in the pharmaceutical industry for decades, most notably as a cerebral implant for stroke victims. According to the research team at Merz Pharmaceuticals, alginates are flexible and stable at the same time, which are precisely the properties that algae have in the sea. Geleons have a spherical uniform shape and size and are suspended in an ultra fine solution. The highly elastic alginate spheres filled with a flexible alginate matrix, have the ability to behave like a fluid and a solid depending on the environment, the Geleon spheres maintain their spherical homogenous shape, so if you apply pressure to them as when they pass through an ultra-fine needle or narrow tissue structures, they are able to spring back to their original shape.

The beauty of NOVABEL is its unique versatility. According to Dr. Jean Carruthers, an oculoplastic surgeon in Vancouver, Canada, "NOVABEL® offers the benefits of powerful but predictable results that makes it ideal for a wide range of patients. It can be used to shape areas of the face such as tear troughs, volume deficient areas including cheeks, chin and jaw-lines, as well as larger areas such as the dorsal hands." Practitioners are able to shape NOVABEL in a way that is appropriate and customised for each patient. Because it is injected in a liquid-like state, it can be shaped for up to 30 minutes after injection, which gives practitioners ample opportunity to create perfect symmetry and the most desirable outcome.  Once injected, the microscopic Geleon become seamlessly integrated into facial tissues providing a soft and natural looking effect that consumers are seeking.

The revitalising properties of this new safe and effective facial shaper are instant as well as long lasting. In a long-term clinical trial conducted in Germany and France, the shaping and lifting effects of NOVABEL were still present after one year in 47% of patients, and in 44% of patients after 18 months.

Another well documented benefit of NOVABEL is that it is relatively painless due to the low injection force required to use this product that permits a fine 30 Gauge ½ inch needle to be used and no anaesthetic is required. According to Dr. Nathalie Fournier, a dermatologist of Centre Laser Dermatologie and Phlebologie of La Croisee, Clapiers, France, "On a pain scale of 1 to 10, I would say NOVABEL® is a 1 or 2. Patients tell me that they do not even feel it. As there is no pressure at all required when you inject the product and it is a liquid, it doesn't hurt in the skin. The other products we have used are very thick, so when you inject them into the skin, the nerve receptors feel the pressure."  The result is a very comfortable and tolerable treatment with minimal swelling and bruising as well as minimal tissue damage, which serves to overcome the most common barriers for consumers requesting facial injectable therapies.

The relative ease of injection and predictably natural results that can be achieved make NOVABEL stand apart from other traditional dermal fillers. It leaves patients 'camera ready' following treatment even for those who need to look good for an event the same night, and with no unwanted surprises over time. It is a powerful and advanced tool for aesthetic practitioners to offer to patients that ensures a high safety profile and satisfaction rate.
