Algeness Dermal Fillers

Algeness is a uniquely formulated injectable dermal filler made from agar — a marine-derived, plant-based gel — rather than conventional hyaluronic acid. Unlike HA fillers, Algeness does not absorb water after injection, which means the result is stable and avoids the temporary puffiness some patients associate with standard fillers. It is fully biodegradable and breaks down naturally over approximately 12 months. At AV Aesthetics, MUDr. Anežka Vochtová uses Algeness for deep wrinkle correction, non-painful augmentation of the nose, jaw, and chin, lower face tightening, and overall facial rejuvenation. Treatment begins with local anaesthetic and thorough skin preparation, followed by precise injection of the agar gel. The result is immediate and continues to mature over the following weeks.

Algeness stands apart from the hyaluronic acid fillers that dominate the aesthetic medicine market because of its unusual base material. Agar — extracted from certain red algae species — forms a stable, viscoelastic gel that does not swell by drawing in water the way hyaluronic acid does. This property makes the correction volume more predictable and may reduce post-procedural swelling for patients who are sensitive to that effect with HA products. The gel is fully biodegradable, breaking down without systemic accumulation over a period of approximately 12 months. At AV Aesthetics, Algeness is applied by MUDr. Anežka Vochtová following a personal consultation to identify the target areas and discuss realistic outcomes. The skin is cleaned and disinfected, a local anaesthetic is administered, and the filler is then introduced via fine-needle injection to the agreed locations. Clinical uses include correction of deep wrinkles, gentle augmentation of the nose, jaw, and chin profile, improvement of the lower face contour, and overall facial rejuvenation in patients seeking a plant-derived filler option. Because Algeness does not bind water, it is also considered for patients who have previously found HA fillers produced more swelling than they wanted. Results are visible immediately following the session and refine further as any initial redness resolves. The filler is gradually metabolised over roughly 12 months. Preparation: avoid any active skin condition in the treatment zone for at least one week before the appointment, and discontinue blood-thinning medications on the day. Post-treatment: for 24 hours avoid alcohol, vigorous exercise, saunas, tanning beds, significant heat exposure, and extreme cold. Contraindications include acute or chronic skin disease affecting the injection site, a history of anaphylaxis or severe allergic reactions, autoimmune disorders, pregnancy, and breastfeeding.
