Elasty Thai label

The maker says Elasty uses PNET (Preserved Natural Entanglement Technology), cross-linking with a small amount of BDDE and washing out residues in two steps.

The maker divides the range into three textures with different properties, so the doctor can match them to the area treated, such as the forehead, nose and lips.

The boxes come in three colours: model G is black, model D is teal and model F is yellow. Every box prints ELASTY, "Sterile Absorbable Intradermal Viscoelastic Dermal Filler", 1.1 mL and a 27G 1/2 inch needle.

The doctor chooses the model that suits each case. Details of use for each model are in the leaflet inside the box.

Dongbang Medical Co., Ltd. has its office in Seongnam, Gyeonggi Province, South Korea. The maker translates the Elasty brand name as "Recovery of Elasticity".

The maker's safety page says all its products are held to KGMP, ISO, MFDS, CE and FDA quality criteria, as stated by the maker.

The US FDA advises having filler injected by a licensed, experienced provider who has trained in filler injection, and never doing it yourself, since it is a medical procedure.

After filler, the US FDA counts bruising, redness, swelling, pain, tenderness, itching and rash as common. Lumps under the skin, infection and allergy come less often. Injection into a blood vessel is the very rare serious event, and it may cause tissue death, vision problems or stroke.

Before injection, tell the doctor if your skin is inflamed or infected, if you bleed easily, have a severe allergy or tend to form raised scars, or if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Share your allergy history, the medicines you take and any earlier injections too, so the doctor can assess you individually.

Unusual pain, any change in vision, or skin at the injection site that goes pale, grey or bluish means you should see a doctor right away.
