Crymetra
Crymetra is a filler product similar to collagen. Crymetra is a filler that doctors use to enhance lips and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles in the face. Crymetra is gaining in popularity because it comes from human donor tissue so unlike many fillers on the market prior testing for potential allergic reactions is unnecessary.
The FDA strictly regulates the production of Crymetra because it is donor tissue that replaces dermal tissue that has damage or is inadequate in terms of quantity. The donor tissue comes from hearts, kidneys, corneas, bone and other tissues that someone or someone's family donates as part of an organ donor program.
Crymetra does not contain any cells so there is no risk of rejection with this donor tissue. Following the impanation of the tissue the body works with the material to gradually make it a part of the body and then repopulates it with the body's own cells so that the results last longer than other fillers.
Crymetra injections are fast and safe. Crymetra treatments usually take about twenty minutes and the results are noticeable right away. A patient can easily tell if they are happy with the results or if they think they will need more Crymetra injections. Depending on the depth and length of the wrinkles or the amount of lip enhancement a patient wants a few treatments may be necessary to achieve the desired results. Touch up treatments may also be necessary over time. However, The results can last for years depending on the area that is receiving the treatment.
Patients have minimal side effects from Crymetra treatments. Patients have no down time from the treatment, but may notice some swelling in the first few hours after treatment and sometimes there is some mild bruising, but the bruising is usually easy to cover with make-up.
