Captique™

Captique adds back volume lost during the aging process

The way your skin looks is directly related to the way your skin is supported. As we age, the natural support layers in the skin break down resulting in the formation of wrinkles. Captique, a clear gel containing a purified form of hyaluronic acid, is the newest FDA-approved non-animal stabilized hyaluronic acid dermal filler injected just under the skin's surface in order to temporarily correct wrinkles Hyaluronic acid is found in the human body in the skin, cartilage, joints and the eye. Its role is to deliver nutrients, hydrate the skin by holding in water, and to act as a cushioning agent.

What are fillers?
Dermal fillers are substances injected just below the surface of the skin temporarily adding volume, thereby filling lines, wrinkles and folds from the inside out. Dermal fillers can temporarily restore a smoother appearance. Captique is offered by Inamed, the same company which has successfully provided collagen fillers for over 20 years.

What can Captique gel be used for?
Captique is used for maximum correction in many different areas of the face such as nasolabial folds (smile lines), vertical lip lines, marionette lines (lip corners) and crow's feet.

What are the benefits of Captique?
Captique is a softer hyaluronic acid than some fillers and is less likely to swell after being injected and therefore may cause less swelling and bruising depending on the site and the patient being injected.

Are there any side effects associated with Captique?
Captique has fewer adverse events than other hyaluronic acid fillers on the market.

Combination therapy
All wrinkle and line fillers are not alike. Some are best used in deep wrinkles, some in shallow lines, and some for plumping. Your physician can recommend the combination that will work best for you.
