Silikon 1000 Wrinkle
Filler InjectionsWhat is Silikon 1000?
Silikon 1000 is a type of medical grade silicon oil that
was originally developed and used to correct retinal
detachments. Recently it has become popular for use as a
filler within the beauty industry.
Most fillers used within the beauty industry produce
only temporary results because, overtime, the body
absorbs the chemicals of which the fillers are composed.
Silikon 1000 is one of those rare fillers that produce
permanent results, because the body does not absorb it
and break it down over time. The use of Silikon 1000 in beauty |

| Cosmetic surgeons and dermatologists have been using
Silikon 1000 for around 30 years with great success. It
was not originally designed for use in the area of
cosmetic enhancement, so is not licensed for cosmetic
use by the FDA. However, the FDA modernization act of
1997 allows licensed physicians to use these agents “off
label” for other purposes; similar to the numerous uses
for Botox®. With its long history of safety and a
sterile, medical-grade composition, silicone oil (Silikon
1000) is an excellent filler for most areas of the face.
Years of experience show that, when used by properly
qualified cosmetic and plastic surgeons, such as Dr.
Kass, who is a board certified ophthalmologist and
plastic surgeon, there is a very low risk of any adverse
side effects.
 Silikon
1000 is used for lip augmentation, to treat scars,
sagging issues around the eyes and to improve the
appearance of the nose area in particular the nasolabial
fold. It is also used on deep wrinkles and on frown
lines, especially those across the bridge of the nose
and those around the mouth.
Patients who are showing the early stages of ageing in
their face can often avoid having a surgical face lift
with the help of a skilled cosmetic surgeon and Silikon
1000.
Use of Silikon 1000 to fill in small areas such as
dips and dents on the nose are very effective and can
pre-vent the patient from needing surgery to correct
these imperfections.
How does Silikon 1000 work?
Tiny drops (micro-drops) of Silikon 1000 are injected
into the area that needs to be filled. Your body then
forms collagen around each droplet, which means that the
area is slowly filled with more body tissue. Injec-tions
are spaced out over a month or so to give your body time
to produce collagen and to ensure that the area does not
become over-filled.
Is Silikon 1000 for me?
If you want to have a cosmetic procedure that involves a
filler, then Silikon 1000 is usually a good choice.
It is vital that you only allow a very experienced
cosmetic surgeon or dermatologist to use Silikon 1000 on
you. Bear in mind that the results, be they good or bad,
are permanent.
