Aliaxin SV 1x1,1ml

Filler for deep injection: for medical professionals only. Aliaxin SV is injected into the subcutaneous tissue only; it is not intended for the dermis or the lips. Do not inject into blood vessels. This pack variant contains 1 pre-filled 1.1 ml syringe and 27G × 13 mm and 27G × 19 mm needles.

What is Aliaxin SV 1.1 ml?

Aliaxin SV Superior Volume is a resorbable medical device in the form of a sterile cross-linked hyaluronic acid gel, intended for restoring more significant volume deficits, enhancing the contours of the cheeks, cheekbones and face, and filling very deep wrinkles. It belongs to the Aliaxin filler line by IBSA Farmaceutici Italia. It has the highest stiffness (G′ 295 Pa) and the lowest tan δ (0.12) among FL, GP, LV and EV, so it is used for structural treatments where projection matters. See also other volumisation products and dermal fillers.

Composition

• Cross-linked hyaluronic acid (as cross-linked sodium hyaluronate): 25 mg/ml, molecular weight 2300 kDa.
• Phosphate buffer at physiological pH: gel carrier.

The hyaluronic acid concentration is the same as in the other Aliaxin products (25 mg/ml); SV's properties come from the long HA chain and its rheology. The product does not contain lidocaine. Local anaesthesia may be applied separately if the physician considers it appropriate.

Mechanism of action

The gel is injected into deep tissue layers, where it restores lost volume in the desired proportions and supports the soft tissues. High elasticity (G′ 295 Pa) with a low tan δ means the gel holds its shape and stays at the injection site, allowing contour modelling and a lifting effect through projection. The effect is temporary: the hyaluronic acid is gradually resorbed.

Indications and treatment areas

Aliaxin SV is intended for correcting significant volume deficits and redefining contours in the following areas:

• cheekbones and zygomatic area,
• mandibular angle and jawline,
• chin,
• filling very deep wrinkles.

Because of its high stiffness, SV is not intended for the dermis or the lips: for the lips use Aliaxin LV or Aliaxin FL, and for folds and wrinkles in the dermis Aliaxin GP.

Administration: injection plane and parameters

• Injection plane: subcutaneous tissue only (according to the manufacturer's instructions, other routes are contraindicated). The product should be injected evenly in the treated areas using the 27G needles supplied in the pack.
• Rheological parameters: G′ 295 Pa, tan δ 0.12: a highly elastic gel with high projection capacity, intended for structural treatments.
• HA molecular weight: 2300 kDa.
• Needles included: 27G × 13 mm and 27G × 19 mm needles.
• Dosage: the volume per area and the number of sessions are at the specialist's discretion.
• The procedure is performed under aseptic conditions, observing the standard precautions for percutaneous procedures.

Duration of effect

The duration of the effect is individual and usually 6-12 months, depending on the injection technique, treated area, metabolism and the patient's predisposition.

Contraindications and precautions

Do not use in case of hypersensitivity to hyaluronic acid, during pregnancy and breastfeeding, with active skin infections or inflammation at the injection site, in autoimmune diseases or in patients prone to keloids. Do not inject into blood vessels.

Frequently asked questions

How does Aliaxin SV differ from the other products in the Aliaxin line?

The whole Aliaxin line has the same concentration of cross-linked hyaluronic acid, 25 mg/ml, and the differences come from rheological properties and intended use. SV (Superior Volume; G′ 295 Pa, tan δ 0.12) is the stiffest gel, for structural volumisation, injected into the subcutaneous tissue only. Aliaxin EV (Essential Volume; G′ 162 Pa, tan δ 0.15) is for volume restoration and contouring in the subcutaneous tissue. Aliaxin GP (G′ 95 Pa) is for folds, wrinkles and moderate volumisation in the dermis. Aliaxin LV (G′ 107 Pa) is for lip volume, and Aliaxin FL (G′ 45 Pa) for lip hydration, contour and fine lines. SR (Shape & Restore) is for shaping and restoring the facial oval. Product selection is up to the specialist.

Aliaxin SV or Aliaxin EV: which one to choose?

SV is chosen when high projection and clear redefinition of bony contours are needed: cheekbones, mandibular angle, chin. EV is softer and suits volume restoration and contouring in the subcutaneous tissue. The final choice depends on the physician's assessment.

What is the difference between the 1×1.1 ml and 2×1.1 ml packs?

This product is a single pre-filled 1.1 ml syringe with two needles (27G × 13 mm and 27G × 19 mm). The Aliaxin SV 2×1.1 ml variant is the manufacturer's standard pack: two syringes and four needles. The gel is the same.

At what depth is Aliaxin SV injected?

The product is injected into the subcutaneous tissue only, evenly in the treated areas. It is not intended for the dermis or the lips. The final technique is at the physician's discretion.

How long does the effect last?

The duration of the effect is individual and usually 6-12 months, depending on the injection technique, treated area, metabolism and the patient's predisposition.

Does Aliaxin SV contain lidocaine?

No. It contains cross-linked hyaluronic acid 25 mg/ml and phosphate buffer at physiological pH. Local anaesthesia can be applied separately if the physician considers it appropriate.

Who may use this product?

Medical professionals only, in accordance with the current instructions for use and applicable regulations. By purchasing the product you declare that you are authorised to perform procedures that break the continuity of tissues.

Information for specialists

For use by medical professionals only. Before treatment, take a medical history, assess the patient for contraindications and inform the patient about the expected results and possible adverse effects; follow the current instructions for use.

Do not inject intravascularly. Deep injections in the zygomatic, mandibular and chin areas require particular caution and good knowledge of vascular anatomy. The syringe and needles are sterile and single-use; discard any remaining product and do not use if the packaging is damaged. Included: 27G × 13 mm and 27G × 19 mm needles.

As with any injection, transient reactions may occur: mild swelling, redness, tenderness or small bruises, which usually resolve spontaneously within a few days.
