Eye Wrinkles And Johnson & Johnson

One of the common reasons for an eyelid surgery could be relieved with a little help from the baby care giant Johnson & Johnson.

A dermal filler manufactured by the organization, Evolence, has been approved by the FDA for distribution and marketing to cosmetic surgery clinics and practices. Though the product use pig tendons (bred in the U.S. and in Australia), analysts believe it would provide competition for players like Juvederm and Restylane.

Juvederm and Restylane have been eyelid surgery and cosmetic surgery fixture for a long time now with an established fan base. Both these injectables make use of hyaluronic acid, which occurs naturally in the human skin, to smooth out wrinkles and deep facial lines.

Porcine tendons and materials on the other hand, have been in use for medical devices like heart valves and while not as popular as lab-grown substances for use as fillers, are very reliable.

The Plastic Surgery Institute of California, an advanced surgical institute for treatments like blepharoplasty and other cosmetic enhancements is avidly gauging products like these. In an effort to improve our patient's plastic surgery experience, we only use products that are endorsed and approved by the FDA.
