 This is the main difference between Revanesse and ReDexis:
ReDexis is still pure stabilised cross-linked HA (like Revanesse), but it contains dextronomer beads aswell. These help the tissue to grow its own collagen and this plumps out deep lines better and because the collagen that is produced is from the body, it will not break down quickly so it lasts longer (18 months).
But, ReDexis cannot be used in the lips because you do not want to make collagen forming in the lips. This is why you should use Revanesse or Revanesse Ultra in the lips:
Revanesse (used anywhere, mainly fine lines and lips) - 6 months
Revanesse Ultra (thicker, used for deeper lines and lips) - 12 months
ReDexis (used for very deep lines, nasolabials etc.) - 18 months
ReDexis Ultra (used for very very deep lines or for sculpting nose, cheek or chin areas) - 18+ months |

As more and more injectable materials become available, there is a great deal of confusion about what each one does, which injection to get, and for what purpose. The following may clarify some of the confusion and provide valuable information for someone who may be considering an injectable material.
Currently, demand for injectable materials come from people looking for a treatment for fine lines or wrinkles, enlarging lips, and improving the appearance of scarring. Injectable materials offer a “non-invasive”, inexpensive, “quick-fix” that many people find to be an extremely easy way to have smoother, younger looking skin.
|
| For centuries, physicians and patients have sought non-surgical therapies to remove or reduce the appearance of facial wrinkles and aging. Many materials have been tried; some with good results, others with disastrous results and others have proven ineffective. The products mentioned below represent a partial listing of injectables receiving ongoing attention.
As the largest plastic surgery organization in the world and the foremost authority on cosmetic and reconstructive plastic surgery, the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) welcomes the introduction of new and exciting therapies and products. The society however, cautions that without meaningful scientific evaluation, physicians may be unwilling to use products until there is convincing evidence of their safety and efficacy. |
Since the 1980s, injectable collagen has been used as a soft-tissue filler. Collagen is a naturally occurring protein that supports various parts of the body including skin, tendons and ligaments. Commonly used injectable collagen is made from purified cow skin to fill wrinkles, lines and scars on the face. The primary risk of injectable collagen is allergic reaction. Injectable collagen absorbs into the body. More than 576,000 people had collagen injections in 2003, according to the ASPS.

Fat injections have been used for years to add volume, fill wrinkles, lines and enhance the lips. Fat injections involve taking fat from one part of the patient's body (abdomen, thighs or buttocks) and reinjecting it beneath the facial skin. Unlike bovine collagen, allergic reaction is not a factor as the fat is harvested from the patient's own body. Results are variable, but can be permanent. More than 61,000 individuals had fat injections in 2003, according to the ASPS.
Botulinum toxins have been used for neck spasms, cranial nerve disorders and eye spasms. With the recent FDA approval of Botox for cosmetic use in the glabellar region, the drug is used to smooth wrinkles. When injected into facial muscles botulinum toxins block nerve impulses, temporarily paralyzing muscles and smoothing wrinkles. Currently Botox® is the only form of botulinum toxin approved by the FDA for cosmetic purposes in the glabellar region, but two others, MyoblocTM and Dysport® are under FDA review for cosmetic use.
More than 2.8 million Botox® injections were performed in 2003, according to ASPS. Botox injections were the most popular cosmetic minimally invasive procedure in 2003. Fifty-seven percent of all Botox® procedures were performed on people between the ages of 35 –50.

Hyaluronic acid exists naturally in all living organisms and is a natural component of connective tissues, including the skin. Hyaluronic acid has been used to treat joint pain. Restylane® is a soft tissue filler made of hyaluronic acid, manufactured by recombinent technology which adds volume to minimize wrinkles and lines. As the substance naturally occurs in humans and all animals, allergic reactions are rare. According to the ASPS, more than 44,000 people had Restylane injections in 2003. Captique™ is another soft tissue filler made of hyaluronic acid which received FDA approval in Dec. 2004. Hylaform® Hylaform Plus® are soft tissue fillers composed of hyaluronic acid extracted from rooster combs - both received FDA approval in 2004. Two additional tissue fillers composed of hyaluronic acid, Perlane® and Restylane® Fine Line, are used outside the United States but are not approved by the FDA.

Two additional soft tissue fillers being studied for their wrinkle reducing and volume-adding qualities are Artecoll® and RadianceTM. Artecoll is a permanent “micro-implant” to fill facial wrinkles and lines, which is currently used in Europe, Canada and Mexico. Radiance is composed of calcium hydroxylapatite, which has been used in the body for multiple applications including cheek and chin implants. Radiance is injected into the face adding volume through microspheres that are suspended in polysaccharide carriers until encapsulation occurs. Another filler, Sculptra, which is made of synthetic polylactic acid contained in microspheres, can be used to restore volume to the face of HIV patients suffering from facial lipoatrophy.

| Artecoll |
75% percent bovine collagen and 25% polymethyl-methacrylate microspheres (non-silicone, carbon–based polymers). |
Artecoll's manufacturer claims the injectable is permanent, as the microspheres do not absorb into the body. The body forms collagen around the microspheres that adds bulk. |
Lumping, granulomas (localized skin reactions to foreign bodies, which can appear as hardness or a rash), micro-spheres can possibly move to other areas of the body |
Immediate, need to wait 3 months between injections. |
FDA advisory panel recom-mended approval with conditions 2/03.
Contrain-dication for lip augment-ation. |
| Radiance (Bioform) |
Calcium hydroxyla-patite (a substance found in bone and teeth, made into an injectable paste) |
Reported to last 2-5 years. Little risk of allergic reaction. The body forms collagen around the microspheres that adds bulk. |
Clumping, lumping, granulomas, micro-spheres may move to other areas of the body. If injected next to bone, formation of bone can occur. |
Immediate according to manu-facturer. |
FDA approved only for vocal cord paralysis and urinary incontinence.
All other use considered off label. |

Restores lost facial volume in people with HIV. The body forms collagen around the micro-spheres. |
Redness, bruising, lumping and granulomas |
Immediate, and typically last two years according to manu-facturer. |
Approved by FDA with condition that it be used to reconstruct HIV patients suffering from facial lipoatrophy.
In use outside the U.S. as New Fill, to fill wrinkles. |
| is an HA filler and can be used in exactly the same way as other HA's. It has 25% more HA, less endo toxins, is much easier to expel from the syringe than say restylane and costs less! |
| is the same product but has dextranamers (particles). These are all between 80-120 microns to prevent them moving from the site of injection. Further more they reduce to sugars within two years and are expelled from the body. This filler is ideal for candidates still producing collagen as the HA gives an initial filling and the collagen synthesis formed by the particles gives a treatment result of up to 18 months. |
