AquamidAquamid® is the trade name for a specific formulation of hydrophilic polyacrylamide gel. Available as an injectable implant, it is manufactured by the Danish company Ferrosan and is used as a subdermal filler for aesthetic purposes. Additional recommended knowledgeIt is comprised of 97.5% apyrogenic water bound to 2.5% cross-linked acrylamide polymer. Most commonly, it is injected under wrinkles and aging lines of the face such as the nasolabial folds, and forehead wrinkles. It may also be used for filling aging-related facial hollows, under and around the eyes. It is also used for lip augmentation. The effects of Aquamid are currently known to last at least 11 years as the product has not been field-trialled longer than this period yet. It is currently not approved by the FDA for use in the United States but clinical trials were announced to be underway in August 2006. Categories: Polyacrylates | Polyelectrolytes | Gels |
