MACROLANE - the first breast & body shaping treatment using hyaluronic acid
For many years women and men alike have been using aesthetic treatments to counter the signs of ageing and replace lost volume in the face. Now there's a non-surgical body shaping treatment that can naturally regenerate body contours: Macrolane.
Macrolane is an innovative product currently indicated for volume restoration and shaping of body surfaces, for example, breasts, calves and buttocks. Macrolane can also even out irregularities in the skin surface, for example those caused by liposuction.
Macrolane is an injectablegel based on Q-Med's patented technology, NASHA™, for the production of stabilised non-animal hyaluronic acid.
What is Macrolane?
Macrolane is the first body shaping product using hyaluronic acid. The injectable gel is manufactured using Q-Med’s patented technology, NASHA™, for the production of stabilised non-animal hyaluronic acid. Use of NASHA™ gel has been clinically proven and well documented in facial aesthetics for over 10 years.
Macrolane VRF (Volume Restoration Factor) is available in two different formulations. The Macrolane product range includes Macrolane VRF 20 and Macrolane VRF 30. Each is designed to be tailored to your individual treatment needs, with Macrolane VRF 30 containing a thicker gel. Your physician will discuss your treatment needs with you on consultation.
Benefits of Macrolane
Market research has shown there to be a significant number of women who would like to adjust the shape of their breast and body in a natural, non-permanent way that does not involve the use of implants or body fat in a major surgical procedure. Many women are also very hesitant about undergoing general anesthesia or being left with a scar.
With Macrolane, the procedure is short and requires only local anaesthetic and minimal time away from work or after-work activities.
The table below illustrates some of the advantages of Macrolane over more invasive cosmetic surgery.

What are the Macrolane treatment indications?
Macrolane VRF is CE approved in EU for volume restoration and contouring of body surfaces. The most common areas for which Macrolane is currently being used include:
- Breasts
- Post liposuction concavities
- Calves
- Buttocks
- Male Chest Shaping (Pecs)
Treatment with Macrolane
During the treatment, Macrolane gel is injected with a special needle deep under the skin to add volume and support, leaving no unsightly scars. The Macrolane treatment can be done under local anaesthetic.
After a treatment with Macrolane you can see the results instantly and you can return to your normal daily routine shortly after the treatment. However, some common injection-related reactions might occur including redness, swelling, tenderness, pain, bruising or itching.
Reactions normally resolve spontaneously within a few weeks. During the first week after the treatment you should avoid strenuous exercise or any activity that could put pressure on the Macrolane treatment area. You should also avoid exposing the treated area to intense heat or cold.
Macrolane VRF is available in two formulations that can be injected separately or in combination to ensure full correction and smoothness of the skin surface. The formulation and volume of Macrolane used (either VRF 20 or VRF 30) will be dependant on the individual and treatment area.
Your physician will advise you at your consultation of the most appropriate Macrolane treatment procedure.

"I can't get over all the comments I've had about how much
younger I'm looking and my friends can't put their finger on
it. " Have you had any surgery?" But they can't see the scars.
I'm thrilled!"
