Second: Substances used in injection
CALCIUM HYDROXYLAPATITE
This substance is naturally found in bones but the substance used in injections is its commercially manufactured isotope (not extracted from the body) and is not extracted from any plant or animal source The most important characteristic of this substance is that it is a substance already present in the body naturally. This reduces the likelihood of sensitivity reactions as it has been used for a long time in oral and dental surgeries. It is well tested and completely safe.

- Plasma injection PRP:
This method is completely safe and does not cause any type of allergy or reaction from the immune system as it depends on separating the plasma from the patient's blood in a certain way and re-injecting it back into the skin to do its part in stimulating the production of collagen and elastin, but it should also be noted that its results are not immediate and also needs several weeks to begin to appear but its effect lasts several months.
Facial filler using self-lipid
It is also a permanent and safe technique because it fills the spaces using one of the components of the patient's body: excess fat in the abdomen or buttocks and its results last a long time, But it's not very common in use because several actions must be done before it. - liposuction procedure of the excess lipid to be injected into the areas of skin to be repaired.
