ART FILLER FINE LINES is a viscoelastic injectable gel of cross-linked hyaluronic acid of non-animal origin, slowly resorbable over time, colourless, transparent, sterile, pyrogen-free and physiological, containing 0.3% by mass of lidocaine hydrochloride for its anaesthetic properties, from the FILLMED laboratory.

ART FILLERS products are intended for the correction of age-related changes in skin structure: filling wrinkles and skin folds, restoration of volumes.

The FINE LINES filler is an injectable implant intended for filling fine lines, superficial wrinkles and fine skin breaks (crow's feet and peri-oral) through injection into the superficial dermis.

The presence of lidocaine is intended to reduce the patient's pain sensation during treatment.

Indication of FILLMED ART FILLER FINE LINES

Fine lines filling, superficial wrinkles and thin skin breaks (crow's feet and peri-oral) by injection into the superficial dermis.

Composition - FILLMED ART FILLER FINE LINES

Cross-linked hyaluronic acid gel: 20mg/ml + 3mg/ml of lidocaine

Directions for use - FILLMED ART FILLER FINE LINES

The technicality of the treatment is fundamental to its success, this device must be used by practitioners who have received specific training in volume restoration injections. A good knowledge of both the anatomy and physiology of the area to be treated is required.

Prior to starting the treatment, the patient should be informed about the indications of the device, its contraindications, incompatibilities and potential side effects.

The area to be treated must be thoroughly disinfected before injection.

Use the 30G 1/2 needle provided with the syringe. Insert the needle correctly and firmly into the tip of the pre-filled syringe, screw on gently and ensure that the needle is correctly fitted. Remove the needle cap and inject slowly into the dermis using the appropriate injection technique. The amount injected will depend on the area to be treated. After injection, it is important to massage the treated area to ensure that the product is evenly distributed. The graduations printed on the label of the syringe are an aid to the practitioner during the injection and cannot be considered as a measuring element.

Testimony - FILLMED ART FILLER FINE LINES

"It was with great enthusiasm that I discovered ART FILLER® Fine Lines from Laboratoires Filorga: it is a filling product with a very smooth and easy-to-inject texture, perfectly suited to superficial wrinkles.

The uniqueness of this product lies in its ability to significantly induce the synthesis of collagen and elastic fibres. This leads to a redensification and restructuring of the dermis, thus treating both the consequences and the causes of skin ageing!” Doctor Philippe Hamida Pisal

Each box contains 2 syringes, 4 sterile needles of 30G 1/2, for single use and reserved for the injection of ArtFiller Fine lines, a leaflet and 4 traceability labels. In order to guarantee the traceability of the product, one of the two labels should be placed in the patient's file and the other should be given to the patient.

- There is no clinical data available on the efficacy and safety of injecting FINE LINES into an area that has already been treated with another dermal filler.

- There are no clinical data available on the efficacy and safety of FINE LINES injection in patients with a history of severe multiple allergies or anaphylactic shock. The doctor will therefore have to decide on the indication on a case-by-case basis depending on the nature of the allergy and will have to ensure special monitoring of these patients at risk. In particular, it may be decided to propose a double test or an adapted preventive treatment prior to any injection.

- FINE LINES should be used with caution in patients with cardiac conduction disorders.

- FINE LINES should be used with extreme caution in patients with hepatocellular insufficiency with coagulation disorders and in patients treated with drugs that decrease or inhibit hepatic metabolism which may lead to coagulation disorders.

• Avoid taking aspirin and high doses of vitamins C and/or E the week before the injection.

• Patients receiving anticoagulant therapy should be warned of the increased risk of haematoma and bleeding during injection.

• Do not apply any make-up for 12 hours after the injection.

• Avoid exposure to extreme temperatures (intense cold, sauna, steam room), as well as prolonged exposure to sunlight or ultraviolet light for 2 weeks after the injection. 

- If the needle is stuck, do not increase the pressure on the plunger rod, stop the injection and replace the needle.

- The doctor's attention is drawn to the fact that this product contains lidocaine and that they should consider it.

- The attention of athletes should be drawn to the fact that this product contains an active ingredient that can induce a positive reaction in tests carried out during anti-doping controls.

INCOMPATIBILITY

These reactions may persist for a week. In a limited number of cases, 1.6% (1/61) of subjects in the clinical study, mild spontaneous or palpation pain may persist for more than a week.

- Bruises. 

- Coloration or discoloration at the injection site.

- Indurations or nodules at the injection area.

- Low filling efficiency or low filling effect.

- Cases of glabellar necrosis, abscess, granuloma, and immediate or delayed hypersensitivity have been reported following injections of hyaluronic acid and/or lidocxin. These potential risks should be taken into consideration.

IN VITRO sSTUDIES (BASED ON CELL CULTURE):

Fillmed tests its products on primary human skin cells adapted to real-life everyday conditions such as aged fibroblasts obtained from wrinkle depths, skin cells under UV radiation or oxidative stress, to ensure the clinical effect of the products. Skin cells would be evaluated either for their morphology or for their activities/functions.

EX VIVO STUDIES (BASED ON THE TISSUE):

In order to meet the laboratory conditions best suited to real human skin, Fillmed tests its products on pieces of living human skin: these pieces, resulting from abdominoplasty or lifting surgery, can be kept from 24 hours to 3 weeks in the laboratory. After applying the products (topical or injections), Fillmed can then evaluate skin samples (biopsies) using all available methods such as conventional microscopes, electron microscopes, marker dosage, etc.

CLINICAL TRIALS:

FILLMED plans various multi-centre, comparative, long-term studies with sufficient sample size to provide reliable data to assure practitioners and also patients about the safety and efficacy of FILLMED products.
