e.p.t.q. Filler

e.p.t.q. is a Cross-linked Hyaluronic Acid filler, or HA Filler.

HA helps retain water and add volume. When injected into an appropriate layer and location, it can fill sunken areas and folds or adjust facial proportions for greater balance.

There are 3 main formulations: S100, S300 and S500. Firmness and Cross-link levels differ, allowing selection from soft, detailed work to treatments needing greater shape retention and structural support.

Formulations sold in Thailand contain Cross-linked HA 24 mg/ml + Lidocaine 0.3%, with 1.1 ml per syringe.

e.p.t.q. uses 2CM Technology in the Hyaluronic Acid Cross-linking process.

The technology combines Physical Crosslinking and Chemical Crosslinking to create gel elasticity and stability while controlling the amount of Cross-linker used.

The manufacturer states that e.p.t.q. has a MoD, or Modification Degree, of approximately 1%, one of the brand’s areas of focus in product development.

MoD, or Modification Degree, indicates the extent of HA structural modification through Cross-linking.

HA fillers require Cross-linking so the gel remains in tissue longer than HA that has not been Cross-linked.

For e.p.t.q., the manufacturer designs the process to achieve a low MoD of around 1% while retaining the desired gel properties.

Yes.

Formulations sold in Thailand contain Lidocaine 0.3% within the filler to help reduce discomfort during injection.

Tell your doctor before treatment if you have ever been allergic to Lidocaine or local anaesthetics.

Formulations can be selected for different facial areas, such as:

• ✓Under-eyes
• ✓Forehead
• ✓Temples
• ✓Lips
• ✓Nasolabial folds
• ✓Marionette lines
• ✓Hollow cheeks
• ✓Anterior cheeks
• ✓Chin
• ✓Jawline
• ✓Volume-loss areas

The same formulation should not necessarily be used everywhere: areas needing softness and areas needing structural shaping require different gel textures.

It may suit people who:

• ✓Have sunken facial areas or volume loss
• ✓Have noticeable facial folds
• ✓Want under-eye, temple or midface filling
• ✓Want to add volume or refine lip shape
• ✓Want to refine the chin or jawline
• ✓Want an HA Filler that can be dissolved if necessary
• ✓Want filler firmness suited to each area

S100 is often chosen for areas needing a soft gel, such as under the eyes.

Several factors must be assessed before under-eye injection, including trough depth, eye bags, skin thinness and existing swelling.

Not everyone with dark circles or eye bags is therefore suited to filler.

Yes. S100 and S300 are often used for the lips according to the treatment needs.

A softer gel may be chosen when softness and fine detail are the focus.

For more volume or a more defined shape, the doctor may choose another gel grade according to the original lips.

Yes. The chin usually needs greater shape retention than highly mobile areas.

S500 is therefore often chosen when greater Projection or refinement of chin and jawline proportions is needed.

Yes.

As a Hyaluronic Acid Filler, e.p.t.q. can be dissolved with Hyaluronidase when necessary.

A doctor should always examine the location and assess the filler before dissolving.

Volume or shape changes are visible immediately after injection, but early swelling, tightness or needle marks may also be present.

Generally, wait approximately 1–2 weeks for swelling to decrease before reassessing the shape.

Some areas, such as the lips, may show more noticeable early swelling than others.

After treatment, there may be:

• ✓Swelling
• ✓Redness
• ✓Needle marks
• ✓Bruising
• ✓Mild pain or tightness

The severity varies between individuals and injection sites.

If you experience progressively worsening severe pain, pale or abnormally discoloured skin, or vision-related symptoms, contact the clinic or seek medical attention immediately.
