As increasing demands for facial soft tissue augmentation by injection or minimal invasive procedures,
filler injection has become a popular and proper method for patients’ demands. Autologous
substance filler is safe and has no side effects, proceeded with the patient’s own blood plasma.
From December 2009 to March 2010, subjects were total of 52 patients. Chief complaints of wrinkle
on facial parts were extensive. Most patients received multiple injections on several facial parts.
Blood samples taken from the patients were put in a centrifuge to separate plasma. Seprerated
plasma was heated in 100 with ALSA (Alamouti and Sattler) system. ALSA gel filler was injected
in the patients’ wrinkles and depressed areas.
A week after the ALSA gel filler injection, most of them were satisfied. A month later, satisfaction
was relatively high. But after 3 months, inquiry results changed, the number of unsatisfied patients
increased. Because of absorption of injected ALSA gel filler.
ALSA had less side effects than other fillers. ALSA could be used continuously, because its
component was patient’s own blood plasma. However, compare to other fillers, duration was relatively
short. More research needs to be performed to increase the duration period and supplement the
shortcomings.
