The Anteis Injection System, an automated soft-tissue filler injection pen, was released in 2010 and is now being used for cosmetic injections by physicians in Europe. The device was developed by Anteis S.A., a Swiss-based company that also manufactures and distributes the Injection System.
According to Anteis, the injection pen allows physicians to achieve more precise and consistent results with gel-based dermal filler injections because it electronically controls and regulates the volume of the filler as it is injected, as well as the injection speed as the filler is introduced into the dermis. As a result, the Anteis Injection System also decreases physician muscle fatigue, making it physically easier to use than standard syringes.
In addition, the device is said to offer physicians improved handling, greater freedom of movement and increased opportunity to focus on ideal product placement rather than injection technique.
Physicians who use the Injection System have also reported improved patient outcomes marked by less pain during treatment, decreased social downtime and fewer and less severe side effects, such as bruising, swelling and redness after treatment.
According to Anteis, the Injection System is effective for all types of cosmetic injectable treatments, including:
- Wrinkle treatments
- Facial volume restoration and augmentation
- Treatment of skin depressions, such as cellulite
Although the Anteis Injection System is a promising innovation in cosmetic dermatology, it has not been appropriately tested or approved by the FDA and is not yet available in the U.S.
Additionally, the injection device was designed to work with Anteis-brand injectable fillers made of hyaluronic acid gel that are also not available in the U.S. The Injection System has not been tested with other brands of hyaluronic acid fillers, such as Juvederm and Restylane, nor has it been tested with wrinkle-relaxing injectables, such as Botox.
If you’re considering non-surgical facial rejuvenation with injectable fillers, seek a skilled injector with superior injection technique and experience using a wide variety of injectable fillers.
