What is Fillmed® M-HA 18?
Fillmed® M-HA 18 is a sterile, viscoelastic, clear, colorless, transparent, isotonic, biodegradable and injectable gel. This product is composed of non-animal sodium hyaluronate, obtained from bio-fermentation. This range of products are intended for replenishing the loss of hyaluronic acid due to aging. With this formulation, the skin of the face, neck, décolleté, and the back of the hands may be treated for purposes of rejuvenation. It is designed to be injected into the superficial dermal tissue, preferably deeper, to improve tone and elasticity of the skin and/or to act as a filler to peel away signs of aging, including small lines such as crow’s feet, smile lines, or smoke lines surrounding the mouth.

How does it work?
When you inject FILLMED® M-HA 18 into the dermis, the hyaluronic acid (HA) immediately binds to water within your patient’s skin, plumping up to stretch the skin and smooth out superficial wrinkles and fine lines, giving your patients a younger and more hydrated look. FILLMED® is made with HA that is stabilized to resist breaking down as quickly within your patient’s skin.
What are the ingredients?
- Sodium hyaluronate (18mg/ml)
- Glycerol (20mg/ml)
- Phosphate-citrate buffer pH 6.8–7.6 q.s.
How long do the results last?
Patients will notice brightening and revitalizing effects that typically lasts about two to six months. Repeat Fillmed® treatments conducted every six months to a year are necessary to preserve the results.
What is the expected recovery time for my patients?
There is not associated recovery time with Fillmed® treatment.
