Semin Cutan Med Surg. 2004 Dec;23(4):236-40. doi: 10.1016/j.sder.2004.08.001.

Abstract

Bio-Alcamid is a new nonbiodegradable substance which is easy to use and which allows one to create volume on both the body and the face. This substance is extractable even after several years. This allows more patients to use a nonbiodegradable substance for esthetic problems of lipoatrophy treatment or for posttraumatic or therapeutic atrophy of subcutaneous tissue.
