TEOSYAL® RHA KISS Indications for Use
TEOSYAL® RHA KISS with Lidocaine is a dermal filler designed primarily for lip enhancement. It helps restore lip volume, correct cutaneous depressions, and smooth out fine wrinkles around the lips. The product is ideal for individuals seeking a natural-looking improvement in their lip contour and volume.
- Primary use: Lip volume restoration and contour correction
- Key components: Hyaluronic acid (non-animal origin), Lidocaine (for pain relief during injection)
- Target patients: Adults, injected by trained medical professionals
The product is injected into the lips by medical professionals using sterile techniques. The injection dose and frequency depend on several factors, including the patient’s lip structure, desired result, and any pre-existing conditions. TEOSYAL® RHA KISS typically provides results lasting 12 to 18 months, after which additional touch-ups may be required.
- Hyaluronic Acid concentration: 15-25 mg/mL
- Lidocaine concentration: 0.3%
- Duration of effect: 12 to 18 months, depending on patient physiology and lifestyle
- Touch-up sessions: May be recommended for optimal results
TEOSYAL® RHA KISS Side Effects and Precautions
As with all dermal fillers, the use of TEOSYAL® RHA KISS may lead to temporary side effects, which are generally localized to the injection site. These include:
- Common side effects: Redness, swelling, bruising, pain, itching, and temporary loss of sensation.
- Less common but more severe side effects: Abscesses, granulomas, immediate hypersensitivity reactions (potentially leading to anaphylactic shock), vascular complications, and visual disturbances (even blindness).
- Immediate post-treatment care: It is recommended to monitor the patient for 30 minutes after the procedure to detect any serious reactions.
Precautions to be observed:
- Pre-treatment precautions: Patients must disclose their medical history, including chronic illnesses, allergies (especially to hyaluronic acid or lidocaine), and any ongoing treatments.
- Post-treatment recommendations:
- Within 12 hours: Avoid makeup and vigorous activities.
- Within a week: Avoid alcohol, prolonged sun or UV exposure, extreme temperatures, and saunas.
- Within 15 days: Refrain from dental or other aesthetic treatments.
TEOSYAL® RHA KISS Clinical Studies and Real-World Outcomes
The performance of TEOSYAL® RHA KISS is consistent with other products in the TEOSYAL® RHA range. Clinical studies have demonstrated its ability to restore lip volume while maintaining a natural appearance. Patients report high levels of satisfaction with the results, particularly due to the natural elasticity and movement of the lips post-treatment. The addition of lidocaine ensures the procedure is more comfortable compared to other fillers without anesthetics.
- Patient-reported outcomes: Significant improvement in lip volume and contour
- Duration of effectiveness: 12 to 18 months
- Satisfaction rate: High, due to the natural, flexible appearance
