Aliaxin LV 1x1ml

Injectable filler: for medical professionals only. Aliaxin LV is injected into the mid and deep dermis; the final technique and dose are chosen by the specialist. Do not inject into blood vessels: take particular care in the lip and glabellar areas. This pack variant contains 1 pre-filled 1 ml syringe and 27G × 13 mm and 27G × 19 mm needles.

What is Aliaxin LV 1 ml?

Aliaxin LV Lips Volume is a resorbable medical device in the form of a sterile cross-linked hyaluronic acid gel, intended for harmonious enhancement of lip volume and contour. It belongs to the Aliaxin filler line by IBSA Farmaceutici Italia and is the line's volumising lip product. Its stiffness (G′ 107 Pa) is clearly higher than that of the soft Aliaxin FL, so it is used to build volume and projection rather than only to hydrate and gently refine the contour. See also other lip modelling products and dermal fillers.

Composition

• Cross-linked hyaluronic acid: 25 mg/ml, combining two molecular weights: 1000 kDa and 2000 kDa.
• Phosphate buffer and water for injection: gel carrier up to 1 g.

The product does not contain lidocaine. Local anaesthesia may be used during the procedure for patient comfort, at the physician's discretion. The hyaluronic acid is of non-animal origin, produced by biofermentation.

Mechanism of action

The gel is injected into the tissue to supplement the extracellular matrix and increase volume. Its balanced rheology (higher elasticity with a low tan δ) allows it to build lip volume and projection and keep the shape during lip movement, while spreading evenly in the dermis. The effect is temporary: the hyaluronic acid is gradually resorbed.

Indications and treatment areas

According to the manufacturer's instructions for use, Aliaxin LV is indicated for correcting imperfections in the following areas:

• lips: enhancement of lip volume and contour,
• nasolabial folds (deep wrinkles),
• wrinkles around the mouth,
• facial and acne scars (scar reduction),
• glabellar lines and forehead wrinkles,
• areas requiring tissue enrichment: cheeks, chin, cheekbones, with a temporary volume increase.

Results depend on skin type and the nature of the imperfection: the less pronounced it is, the better the result. When the goal is mainly hydration, a “lip gloss” effect and subtle lip contour refinement, Aliaxin FL is usually chosen.

Administration: injection plane and parameters

• Injection plane: mid and deep dermis. The technique is at the physician's discretion and depends on the planned correction and the implantation method chosen.
• Rheological parameters: G′ 107 Pa, tan δ 0.21: a gel of medium-high elasticity, intended for building lip volume and projection.
• HA molecular weights: 1000 kDa and 2000 kDa.
• Needles included: 27G × 13 mm and 27G × 19 mm needles.
• Dosage: the volume is at the specialist's discretion.
• The procedure is performed under aseptic conditions, observing the standard precautions for percutaneous procedures; local anaesthesia may be used if needed.

Duration of effect

The duration of the effect is individual and usually 6-12 months, depending on the injection technique, 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 LV 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. LV (Lips Volume) is a lip-volume gel (G′ 107 Pa, tan δ 0.21) injected into the mid and deep dermis: mainly for the lips, but also for folds, wrinkles and facial volume loss. Aliaxin FL (Fine Lines & Lips) is a soft gel (G′ 45 Pa, tan δ 0.39) for lip hydration, contour and fine lines. Aliaxin GP (Global Performance; G′ 95 Pa, tan δ 0.23) is for folds, wrinkles and moderate volumisation in the dermis. Aliaxin EV (Essential Volume; G′ 162 Pa, tan δ 0.15) is for volume restoration and facial contouring in the subcutaneous tissue. SR (Shape & Restore) is for shaping and restoring the facial oval, SV (Superior Volume) for greater volumisation. Product selection is up to the specialist.

Aliaxin LV or Aliaxin FL: which one for the lips?

LV is chosen when the goal is a more visible yet natural increase in lip volume and projection. FL is used mainly for hydration (“lip gloss” effect), subtle contour refinement and fine lines around the mouth. The final choice and any combination of products depend on the physician's assessment.

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

This product is a single pre-filled 1 ml syringe with two needles (27G × 13 mm and 27G × 19 mm). The Aliaxin LV 2×1 ml variant is the manufacturer's standard pack: two syringes and four needles. The gel is the same.

At what depth is Aliaxin LV injected?

The product is injected into the mid and deep dermis. The technique is at the physician's discretion and depends on the planned correction and the implantation method chosen.

How long does the effect last?

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

Does Aliaxin LV contain lidocaine?

No. It contains cross-linked hyaluronic acid 25 mg/ml, phosphate buffer and water for injection. Local anaesthesia can be applied separately for patient comfort.

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 and assess the patient for contraindications, inform the patient about the nature of the procedure, possible risks and post-treatment recommendations, and follow the current instructions for use.

Do not inject intravascularly. The lip and glabellar areas are highly vascularised: particular caution and knowledge of anatomy are required. 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.
