Buy Emervel Touch Online

EMERVEL® is a range of five cross-linked hyaluronic acid based dermal fillers from Q-Med, a Division of Galderma, the UK distributor of the Botulinum Toxin brand Azzalure and the dermal filler brand Restylane. It was introduced to the UK and Europe in 2011.

Emervel dermal fillers are indicated for the treatment of facial lines, for facial contouring and the correction of volume loss, as well as lip enhancement.

They are also available with the addition of local anaesthetic lidocaine for added comfort during injection.

GENERIC NAME

Non-animal cross-linked hyaluronic acid.

WHAT DOES IT CONTAIN?

The main component of Emervel is hyaluronic acid. This is a naturally occurring substance found in all living organisms. The hyaluronic acid is mixed with a cross-linker called Butanediol Diglycidyl Ether (BDDE) to form a gel, which is then purified through dialysis to remove trace amounts of BDDE left over from the process.

HOW IS IT MADE?

The hyaluronic acid in Emervel is produced by a biotechnological process from bacterial fermentation without using any animal products.

Emervel benefits from what the manufacturers call its Optimal Balance Technology™.

Their production method is designed to alter the characteristics of the hyaluronic acid gel via a combination of factors, including the levels of cross-linking (a process which is needed to ensure the hyaluronic acid is long lasting), the particle sizes, which are varied to product the differing products within the range which aim to have a maximum effect in the different layers of the skin into which they are injected.

Emervel has 4 levels of cross-linking, resulting in 4 levels of gel firmness across the range. A lower level of cross-linking will result in a softer gel suitable for superficial injection and a higher level of cross-linking results in a firmer gel more resistant to degradation for deeper injection. Within the range, Touch, Classic and Lips share the same smaller particle size with Deep and Volume using increasingly larger particle sizes for deeper skin application. Particle size or calibration is achieved during the manufacturing process after cross-linking, by sieving the gels through different sizes of mesh.
