At Evonik, we offer innovative and tailor-made biomaterials for medical aesthetics. Our expertise in biomaterials has allowed us to develop innovative solutions for dermal fillers, barbed sutures, skin adhesives, and post-treatment care. In particular, Evonik offers bioresorbable RESOMER® medical polymers and epicite® CALM dressings in this area,

Nowhere else are consumer demands changing as quickly as in the aesthetic industry. After the market launch of the first hyaluronic acid-based dermal filler in 2003, the material has consistently increased in use and popularity. Following this development, consumer demands are now moving more and more towards biostimulating materials that enhance the body's own collagen production and produce natural results. Nowadays, fillers have to do more than just fill.

The aesthetic industry is seeing a shift towards biostimulating substances that enhance the body's own collagen production and create a natural-looking result. Although hyaluronic acid has been increasingly used, more is expected of fillers. As a result, dermal filler manufacturers are increasingly turning to bioresorbable polymers such as Poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), polycaprolactone (PCL), and polydioxanone (PDO) to create next-generation fillers that meet evolving market needs.

Evonik also offers VECOLLAN®, a recombinant, non-animal-derived collagen-like biomaterial with potential applications in aesthetic dematology. Get in touch with our team to find out more. 

The field of medical aesthetics is developing quickly, in particularly minimally-invasive treatments with energy-based devices, such as CO2 laser and radiofrequency (RF) microneedling. Aftercare, however, has struggled to keep up with the advancements in these techniques, which are often intensive and require downtime for patients. Evonik offers medical practitioners epicite® CALM, an innovative non-occlusive, medical grade wound dressing based on innovative biosynthetic cellulose, developed by pioneers in the field. epicite® CALM has a cooling and soothing effect that reduces redness and erythema, supporting natural healing without compromising comfort or safety.

epicite® CALM helps medical practitioners upgrade their post-treatment protocols by improving patient experience, supporting natural healing, and shortening overall recovery time after minimally invasive aesthetic procedures.
