Dr. Konstantin Konfino, MD, PhD, is a Dermatologist with a PhD in skin virology and dermatology. He owns a successful private clinic in Tel Aviv and works for the Maccabi Health Care Services in Tel Aviv, Israel. We spoke to Dr. Konfino about a new calcium hydroxyapatite based filler (Crystalys).
In the last 6 years, I have gained a vast experience in non-surgical rhinoplasty or “nose sculpturing”. There are several indications in the nasal area that can be treated. We can treat depressions in the bridge of the nose, fill the tip of the nose, lift or adjust its angle, correct nose projections and others.
In addition to cosmetic use, filler materials are frequently employed for reconstruction of contour defects. Scars and tissue defects after accidents, surgery and irradiation are also ideal indications for injectables
Objective: In this post marketing study our primary objective was to assess the safety of Crystalys, a new calcium hydroxyapatite based filler, in subjects who received sub-dermal or deep-dermal injections for facial soft tissue augmentation.
