Collagen fillers are now a very trendy facial rejuvenation method. In this case, a danger arises as follows… Filler brands at various price scales everywhere! Which one is best and reliable? How can we understand it?
Where and who are the producers of these fillings? In which countries have these fillings been certified? And what certifications are they? How will we know if this filler brand is the best for the consumer? What are we going to look for?
First of all, we do not use any filler for our skin that we do not know, whose brand, origin and approvals cannot be explained to us. I attach great importance to this issue because we hear more and more aesthetic accidents and disasters every day. We are now more conscious of aesthetic applications. We are following up and learning. I would like to add a few very important notes to this information
Why is brand important in collagen fillings?
Yes, it is important since collagen (hyaluronic acid fillers) fillings have a very important place in the rejuvenation, restoration and anti-aging applications of our face, and as a plastic surgeon, I love this important anti-aging application.
However, as in every health application, since such procedures are medical applications, besides being performed by a doctor, the reliability of the products used is very important for you and for the effectiveness of the application.
I would like to mention some important points that require attention which you are also familiar with from the magazine news, to ensure that you avoid as much as possible the scenarios that may happen to you, albeit rare, and give you nightmares later.
Let’s begin!
These types of medical products have to be inspected by the health authorities at the very beginning of the production process in the country or continent where they are produced, in terms of certain rules, from the materials used, to the packaging, to the thickness of the needle at the tip. These inspections are carried out to maintain the reliability standard of such products at certain levels.
Whether it is producedini America or Europe, producers always have to follow these processes.
These production standards have certain costs, just like in drugs, so when we encounter a very cheap filling application, we should ask ourselves the question that it may be a product that has gone through a production process where these production costs are skipped or the control chain is not done correctly.
Although it is claimed that the products are brand products, it is useful to keep in mind that those who resort to these methods can also produce copy products .
Storage or transportation of such medical products should also be under certain standard procedures and supervision. After all, they are produced in the laboratory. For those who say things like “this product came from India, it came from China, so it is not available in Turkey or it is expensive”, you should have doubts in your mind.
The fact that a medical product can be produced in a country should not mean that it can be used in your country.
Products produced in some countries may not meet the health criteria in Europe, America or Turkey.
Telling you that “this product was produced in one of the largest filler manufacturers in China, Pakistan, India, Taiwan, it is such a good quality, etc…” actually has no credibility. And perhaps that product may have caused a lot of problems in the country it was produced, but the sociological, economic or political climate of the country may have prevented you from being aware of these problems and perhaps they are in the position of countries that need more years for such regulations, so their reliability is being questioned.
You can also consider these topics that I care about for other products.
For example, other products such as mesotherapies, botulinum toxin products, implants used in surgical procedures, etc…..
I pay great attention to such details in my applications and surgeries. Please also pay attention to what is done to you, the area of expertise of the doctor who performs it, and where the product is made.
