FAT HARVESTING DEVICE

The device reduces lipocyte trauma through its unique design and gentle processing to produce a more pure product with a higher percentage of viable cells for reinjection, therefore obviating the need for overfilling. It can harvest up to 2,000 cc of fat in less than 30 minutes, often concurrently with liposuction to dramatically reduce surgery time.

FILLER
Allergan Inc, Irvine, Calif, announces the FDA approval of Juvéderm XC, a new formulation of the currently FDA-approved Juvéderm dermal filler and the latest advancement in hyaluronic acid dermal fillers. Allergan’s new Juvéderm formulation contains the local anesthetic lidocaine to provide patients with enhanced comfort during treatment of moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds, such as the nasolabial folds.
The FDA approval of Juvéderm XC was based on data from a multicenter, double-blind, randomized clinical trial. A total of 72 subjects were followed for 2 weeks after treatment with one of two Juvéderm formulations (Juvéderm XC with lidocaine or v without lidocaine) in each nasolabial fold. In the clinical study (N=72), 93% of patients reported less pain when treated with the new formulation of Juvéderm compared to those treated with the non-lidocaine formulation of Juvéderm.
