There have been many trends in the dermal filler market lately. But the main one, of course, is the safety of the drugs offered.

The most common dermal fillers today are hyaluronic acid fillers. But every day the market for injectable drugs is growing, and more and more effective and safe fillers are appearing.

One such product is Algeness® , a line of agarose gel fillers that recently appeared on the Ukrainian market after 10 years of clinical research.

What is agarose gel and what is its feature?

Agarose gel is an extract from brown algae, which is a polysaccharide in its molecule. Agarose is a hydrocolloid and creates a reticular structure in the skin, not attracting fluid, but creating lost volume in the tissue.

Agarose gel is produced through a complex production process: all protein fractions are removed from agar-agar, which makes it highly biocompatible.

Five Benefits of Agarose Dermal Fillers

Firstly, agarose-based fillers are completely compatible with the human body and do not cause negative skin reactions. Unlike fillers based on hyaluronic acid, their production does not use substances - crosslinks like BDDE and DVS.

As is known, BDDE is responsible for intermolecular cross-links in a hyaluronic acid solution, and the lower the BDDE, the safer the filler is. This is why injectable drug manufacturers strive for low BDDE concentrations. And in this case, the main advantage of dermal fillers based on agarose gel is the absence of BDDE cross-links, which is why they are superior to dermal fillers based on hyaluronic acid.

Secondly, compared to other injectable drugs, agarose-based dermal fillers allow you to achieve a visible effect in a shorter period of time - the result after the procedure is visible immediately. For comparison, to see the effect of hyaluronic acid fillers, you need to wait a few days for the swelling to subside.

Thirdly , the use of fillers based on agarose gel provide long-lasting results - depending on the selected product line and the injection zone, the effect can last from 4 to 18 months, which, of course, makes this filler more effective.

Fourthly , injectable preparations based on agarose completely dissolve in tissues, eliminating complications and migration of the substance.

And fifthly, an exclusive feature of agarose-based fillers is that the antidote to the drug is saline solution. This makes the drug economical compared to hyaluronic acid, where hyaluronidase acts as an antidote.

Algeness® line of fillers

Algeness® products are available in four forms. The difference between them is the concentration of agarose. The properties of the drug, density, thickness for certain layers of the skin and areas of the face depend on the percentage of active substance content.
