Silicon Microdroplets
Board Certified Dermatologist, Debra Jaliman, MD is in private practice
in Manhattan, New York. The dermatologist is now offering the facial filler
known as silicon microdroplets.
Microdroplet liquid silicone injections build soft-tissue by encouraging the
production of new collagen, the skin’s natural structural protein. Silicone
injections are used primarily to fill depressions such as wrinkles and
certain acne and chicken pox scars. They can also be used to enhance the
natural contours of areas such as lips and cheekbones, and to treat contour
defects that result from heredity, surgery, trauma or aging. The NYC
dermatologist has seen outstanding results with this facial filler
technique.
Silikon 1000® (which is what the Silicon Microdroplets are called) is an FDA
approved, ultra pure medical grade liquid silicone which is designed for
injection into the eye to treat retinal detachment. The use of liquid
silicone off label as an injectable filler material for facial augmentation
is widely accepted by many facial plastic surgeons and dermatologists using
the microdroplet technique of injection for facial fillers.
The major advantages of liquid silicone are its permanence and the
smoothness in which it can augment fine lines, depressed scars, and wrinkles
when injected properly.
The most popular request for this procedure is for the use of filling
depressed scars from acne.
This procedure is safe and results are seen immediately. There is also
no down-time with this procedure.
How is works is that microdroplets of liquid silicone are injected under the
skin at multiple points (the microdroplet serial-puncture technique) with a
slender, sterile needle. Over a period of months, microdroplets of
silicone stimulate skin cells (known as fibroblasts) to produce new collagen
around each microdroplet.
Once a microdroplet is surrounded, collagen production stops. Through
repeated injections over several months the combination of silicone
microdroplets and new collagen fills skin depressions.
