Summary

Bio-Alcamid is a new nonbiodegradable gel used in aesthetic medicine to restore volume in facial and body tissues. Unlike biodegradable fillers that break down over time, Bio-Alcamid remains in the body for years and can be extracted if needed. This feature allows for long-term correction of volume loss without requiring repeated treatments. The gel is suitable for treating conditions like lipoatrophy, posttraumatic atrophy, and therapeutic atrophy of subcutaneous tissue. Clinical observations show that the material maintains its structure and provides satisfactory results. The study highlights the potential of Bio-Alcamid as a flexible and safe option in aesthetic procedures.
