Ageing is a choice

Permanent Filler

• Does the material grow in size after injection?

  The result obtained immediately after the injection is the visible, definitive result. Contura's LTF requires neither under correction nor over correction.

• How can you be sure that Contura's LTF is not harmful in the long term?

  Contura's LTF has been used for aesthetic correction for more than ten years in 30,000 patients. Retrospective studies have not shown any long-term side effects, clinically and histologically. Numerous toxicological studies have been carried out on animals. They have shown that Contura LTF gel implants are tolerated for long periods of time without biodegradation. Preclinical studies have not shown any cytotoxic effects, any systemic or pyrogenic effect, any effect on the blood or on enzyme activity.
  
  Components of the gel have been used for many years in the United States and Europe for treatment of drinking water. Injection of contura's LTF causes only mild reaction in the surrounding tissue which is minimal compared with reactions to other foreign bodies. This indicates that the polyacrylamide gel is well tolerated by the human body. There is no calcification, no carcinogenic effect, no inflammation and no local allergic reaction. The gel is not found in the lymph nodes. Contura's LTF does not cause any allergic reaction or any other immunological effect either in animals or in humans. Contura's LTF does not migrate. In fact, its high molecular weight makes migration impossible

• How long do results last for?

  Contura is long lasting as the product does not disappear once injected. Since the ageing of the skin continues, it may be necessary to carry out follow-up injections after a period of time, depending on a number of factors (skin structure, age etc)

• How long does a treatment take?

  One session, including consultation usually takes about 45mins. Treatment does not involve surgery and patients have minimal downtime afterwards.

• How soon do results appear?

  The results obtained using contura’s LTF are immediate since the gel is homogenous and does not contain any micro-particles.

• What makes Contura’s LTF unique?

  Contura becomes a soft and stable part of your tissue. It is non-toxic and non-allergenic; it does not disappear and does not move from the injection site making it long lasting.

• Why is Contura's LTF gel permanent?

  Because the components forms long chains that cannot be split by the human body. No enzyme or bacterium is able to metabolise the gel. This is the reason why it remains in place at the site of injection and remains as a part of that tissue.
