The drug SURGIDERM was developed and introduced to the market by the French company Corneal (part of the Allergan concern), which has been a manufacturer of products based on hyaluronic acid for more than 10 years. SURGIDERM preparations are the latest generation of fillers, which differ from other preparations in their higher gel plasticity. Thus, the doctor can always be confident in the result. SURGIDERM preparations contain a stabilized hyaluronic acid molecule, thereby prolonging the effect after the procedure.
Surgiderm is a recognized leader in the filler market
Despite the fact that SURGIDERM is one of the first hyaluronic acid fillers to appear on the market, it continues to be a leader and has no analogues. This time-tested drug has proven itself to be an absolutely safe, soft, flexible, very easy-to-use material with an absolutely predictable effect. Over 10 years of work, we have not noted a single side effect on the Surjiderm line of drugs, which cannot be said about many newfangled fillers.
SURGIDERM fillers are completely biocompatible with the human body and cannot cause any allergic reactions. They are also completely eliminated from the body after 9-18 months.
SURGIDERM preparations are used to fill superficial wrinkles, medium-depth wrinkles, deep wrinkles, as well as bio-reinforcement of the face, restore skin tone, model and form lip volume, and restore tissue volume.
The SURGIDERM line contains 6 drugs that differ in density. All of them contain 0.8 ml non-animal hyaluronic acid in disposable syringes. The doctor selects the best option for any patient, based on the goals of the procedure and individual characteristics.

Product range
Surgiderm 18 is intended to be injected into the superficial layers of the skin to correct fine wrinkles, such as laugh lines around the eyes and smoker's lines or wrinkles above the upper lip.
Surgiderm 24 XP is intended for injection into the middle layers of the skin, for the correction of medium and deep wrinkles, as well as for enhancing the lip border (red border of the lips).
Surgiderm 30 is intended for injection into the deeper layers of the skin to correct deep wrinkles as well as deep skin depressions.
Surgiderm 30 XP is designed to be injected into all three layers of the skin and can be used to correct medium to deep hollows of the skin, as well as to increase volume, such as cheek atrophy or sunken cheeks, or to enhance the lip border (red border of the lips).
Surgilips is intended to be inserted into the lips or area around the mouth. It can be used to fill smoker's lines, redefine lip contours (red rims), and increase lip volume.
SurgiliftPlus is intended for injection into the superficial layers of the skin to replace hyaluronic acid lost with age, and, as a result, hydrate the skin and increase its tone and elasticity in the areas of the face, neck, décolleté (between the neck and chest), and on the arms.
Should not be used
Surgiderm should not be used in patients with known hypersensitivity to hyaluronic acid.
During pregnancy or breastfeeding.
Duration of action
The duration of action depends on the degree of correction required, the patient’s age and lifestyle. Correct administration of the drug by a specialist also has a great influence.
Corneal (the manufacturer) claims that the results of Surgilips correction are more natural-looking compared to other hyaluronic acid fillers in the case of correction of the lip area. In addition, the duration of the effect after Surgilips is on average 9 - 12 months, compared to 6 months with other hyaluronic acid fillers.
Reported side effects
Transient erythema (redness), swelling, possible discomfort in the area where the implant was inserted. As a rule, these side effects disappear spontaneously within one to two days after administration of the drug. Any prolonged reaction should be reported to your doctor.
Local reactions apparently related to hypersensitivity were noted with an incidence of 1 in 2000 patients after correction. Redness, tenderness, and, in rare cases, acne-like papules may occur.
In addition, in rare cases (less than 1 in 15,000 procedures), granuloma formation, superficial necrosis and urticaria have been reported.
Surgilift Plus / Surgilift Plus
This drug is intended for injection biorevitalization aimed at replenishing the level of hyaluronic acid in the skin. After the procedure, the skin receives powerful hydration, its tone and elasticity increase, and fine wrinkles are smoothed out. For a more lasting effect, which can last up to 12 months, it is best to do 2-4 procedures with an interval of 2 weeks.
All products in the SURGIDERM line are highly compatible with other similar gels. This makes it possible to use the drugs before the previously administered gel completely dissipates.
Surgiderm - an innovative development by Corneal Group
Recently, fillers have become a favorite among products for preserving youth. They are called “beauty injections.” These injections are given subcutaneously to fill voids in facial tissue. This way, an excellent cosmetic effect is achieved: smooth, toned skin, a beautiful oval face, plump lips, voluminous cheekbones.
A big plus is the absence of a rehabilitation period and a small number of side effects - this procedure can be done even during your lunch break and then return to work.
Many of the fillers used are made with hyaluronic acid (HA). The main advantage of HA is that it is a substance absolutely natural for the human body, since it is part of many of its tissues and biological fluids. Hence the lack of reaction to a foreign body and the possibility of complete biodegradation of the administered drug.
Hyaluronic acid is able to attract and retain a large number of water molecules around itself. In addition, it, being part of the intercellular fluid, serves to maintain elastin and collagen fibers in the correct position. Thus, as a result of the use of fillers based on hyaluronic acid, the skin is moisturized, restores and maintains its elasticity.
The new, third generation of fillers based on hyaluronic acid includes the modern innovative drug Surgiderm. Its creator is the Corneal Group, which develops unique methods and innovative products for the most popular areas of aesthetic medicine and cosmetology.
Corneal is part of the large Allergan corporation, which is known for ]Botox[/anchor] and Juvederm . At the moment, the company has more than 10 exclusive contracts with the most famous manufacturers of cosmetic products in the USA, Italy, Japan, and Austria. She has been working on the Russian market since 2004, presenting advanced cosmetology technologies.
Carrying out the procedure and post-procedure recommendations
Before the procedure, the doctor examines the patient’s skin, collects a complete medical history and, if indicated, selects a drug of the density that the patient needs to correct a certain area. The skin is removed and then treated with an antiseptic. At the request of the patient, local anesthesia is performed and then the drug is administered.
The results of the administered drugs can be assessed immediately after the procedure. The effect increases on average by 10-20% within two weeks.
After the procedure, it is necessary to limit visits to the sauna, solarium, bathhouse and swimming pool for a week.
Composition and principle of action
Surgiderm is a unique drug created on the basis of the patented technology of “three-dimensional intermolecular connection of hyaluronic acid molecules” (3D Hyaluronic Acid Matrix). HA, which is part of the gel, has an improved, ultra-effective molecule, which, under the influence of a reticulating agent (butanediol diglycedyl ether), forms additional transverse branches. These connections make the structure matrix or three-dimensional, which provides increased resistance to temperature changes and its stability. This structure of HA ensures a slower breakdown of acid by the body, as a result of which it is possible to significantly increase the duration of the resulting cosmetic effect .
The excellent results of using Surgiderm filler are based on “three pillars”:
- the ability of the gel to fill subcutaneous voids, smooth and tighten the skin, and add volume;
- the ability of HA to activate skin hydration and stimulate the production of the body’s own collagen and elastin;
- duration of storage of the obtained results.
Purpose
Surgiderm is an ideal implant, which, depending on the selected density, is excellent for solving various problems of “facial” plastic surgery:
- smoothing wrinkles;
- removing folds;
- tightening the oval of the face;
- changes in the shape of the nose or chin;
- asymmetry correction;
- defect corrections;
- adding volume to lips or cheekbones;
- tightening and smoothing scars;
- carrying out the prevention of skin aging processes.
According to its properties, Surjiderm is an excellent plastic product that is well distributed in the skin tissues after administration. The rejuvenating effect becomes noticeable almost immediately. Due to the special stability of the substance and the long period of biodegradation, the gel remains in the tissues for a long time and in many respects is superior to similar fillers .
Release form, packaging, expiration date
Surgiderm is available in the form of a transparent biogel for intradermal administration. This is a single-phase homogeneous preparation containing hyaluronic acid of different concentrations (18 mg/g or 24 mg/g) and phosphate buffer pH 7.2.
The drug is contained in an individual syringe enclosed in a capsule. One package consists of 2 x 0.8 ml or 1 x 0.4 ml.
For injection, injection needles with a caliber of 27G1/2 or 30 G1/2 are used.
The shelf life of the drug, depending on its type, is 9 – 18 months. It is necessary to store at a temperature from +2 to +25°.
How to increase the duration of filler
After using “beauty injections,” all patients are divided into two groups: “I really liked it and want to maintain the effect for as long as possible” and “I didn’t like it very much, I want to redo everything.” In both cases, there are ways to help achieve the desired result.
Preparations from the Surgiderm series, thanks to innovative creation technology, have a fairly long period of effectiveness . The resulting result disappears as hyaluronic acid breaks down, which occurs under the influence of:
- hyaluronidase;
- reactive oxygen species.
Thus, by inhibiting the activity of these substances, it is possible to extend the period of stay of hyaluronic fillers in the body.
For this purpose, you can use creams containing:
- N-acelylglucosamine;
- fucose;
- bioflavonoids.
These substances inhibit the activity of hyaluronidase. The level of active oxygen is regulated by antioxidants. Recommendations for the use of any drugs should be given by a doctor .
To prolong the effect obtained, repeated injections with Surgiderm are often suggested. The lower the concentration and viscosity of the injected gel, the sooner such adjustments need to be made.
In addition, you need to remember that:
- a more active metabolism in the body (individual characteristics in athletes) leads to faster breakdown of HA;
- in smokers or those living in unfavorable environmental conditions, the concentration of hyaluronic acid decreases more intensely;
- visiting a sauna and solarium will facilitate faster elimination of the drug;
- fillers do not replace any other cosmetic procedures - the need for comprehensive skin care when injecting fillers does not disappear.
Recommendations for facial care after injections should be given by a specialist.!
Contraindications and side effects
To produce Surjiderm, single-phase hyaluronic acid of non-animal origin is used, which makes it 100% compatible with the tissues of the human body. there are practically no allergic reactions when using this filler . The gel is perceived as an absolutely natural substance and, as it breaks down, is gradually eliminated from the body naturally.
Therefore, Surgiderm has a minimum set of contraindications:
- hypersensitivity to hyaluronic acid;
- pregnancy and lactation;
- oncological, autoimmune and infectious diseases;
- tendency to form hypertrophic scars;
- problems with blood clotting.
It is important to know that the drug is not used for injection into the eyelids! It is also not suitable for young girls, but is used in patients over 25 years of age.
It is worth paying attention to some recommendations:
- two to three weeks before the filler injection, you should stop taking anticoagulants;
- if there are inflammatory processes on the facial skin or acne, it is necessary to first carry out appropriate treatment;
- if there is a latent form of herpes, it is worth taking a preventive course of therapy to avoid exacerbation;
- when undergoing immunotherapy, it is better to postpone the rejuvenation procedure;
- do not insert into areas where non-absorbable implants are used;
- you need to take a break after a laser procedure, dermabrasion, or chemical peeling on the face.
Experts note the high level of compatibility of the drug Surjiderm with other fillers containing hyaluron. This allows you to use it without waiting for previously used substances to be removed from the body.
It also states that there are no serious side effects . Swelling or puffiness and slight redness may occur. This usually goes away within 2 to 3 days without the use of any medications. A slight compaction may remain at the site of injection of the gel for some time. If it does not resolve within a week, you should consult a cosmetologist . This must also be done if papules remain at the injection site. After the procedure, it is recommended to follow the most important precautions that are typical for the majority of fillers.
It should be noted that Surjiderm has been tested to establish compliance with European and international high-level safety standards, and has the necessary international and Russian quality certificates. The drug undergoes a high degree of purification and is a non-toxic product .
Method of administration
Surgiderm is administered subcutaneously; intravascular administration is strictly prohibited. The dosage, location and depth of injections are determined depending on the existing problems on the face and the type of drug.
Typically, the amount of gel needed depends on the severity of the problem. For a minor adjustment or preventive procedure, one syringe will be enough, but to fill deep folds or add volume to the cheekbones, a larger amount will be required.
The whole procedure takes no more than 30 minutes. No preparatory or rehabilitation measures are required . Thanks to the light and delicate structure of the gel, its administration is easy and almost painless. In order to eliminate the feeling of discomfort during the process, an anesthetic is applied to the skin in advance. After introducing the gel, a light massage is performed on the treated areas to ensure even distribution of the substance.
It is important to understand that rejuvenation with the drug Surgiderm can only be carried out by a doctor who has undergone special training. Before the procedure, you need to inquire whether he has the appropriate certificate.
It is unacceptable to contact a non-specialist or administer the product yourself . This may lead to:
- development of inflammatory processes;
- obtaining an unpredictable result;
- asymmetry of facial features;
- the appearance of complications in the form of long-lasting “bumps” under the skin.
In addition, an unsuccessful injection can lead to nerve damage and the appearance of pinpoint hemorrhages.
