Pre-treatment guidance

Before the treatment, skin care professionals should assess patients’ suitability for treatment and inform the indications, precautions, warnings, and potential side effects.
According to the depth of injection and the administered quantity, skincare professionals can use a linear threading technique, a serial puncture technique, or a combination of the two at the discretion of physicians.

Treatment procedure

• Hyamax^® Plus Deep should be used after indoor temperature balance.
• Local analgesia (ice, topical analgesics, or local infiltration, and/or nerve block with 1% lidocaine solution) is provided before treatment at the discretion of the skin care professional.
• Before injection, press the rod carefully until a tiny droplet is visible at the tip of the needle. Inject Hyamax^® Plus Deep while pulling the needle slowly backward and stop injecting just before the needle is pulled out from the skin to prevent material from leaking out from the injection site.
• Once the injection is completed, the injection site is manually massaged to allow Hyamax^® Plus Deep to conform to the contours of the adjacent tissues.
• After injection, if the treated area is swollen, patients can apply melting ice on the site for a short period.

Mode of action

After injection, Hyamax^® Plus Deep integrates into the tissue naturally and acts by adding volume to dermal tissue, thereby restoring wrinkles and folds to the desired correction.
