Understanding COVA (Collagen Volume Needle)

Typical filler procedures involve injecting

a gel-like substance directly under the skin to add volume.

In contrast, COVA helps the skin regenerate itself and induces collagen production, allowing for a natural increase in volume.

Over time, collagen gradually forms within the skin, leading to expected improvements in volume.

After filler injection, there is occasionally a possibility of lumps forming or the substance migrating at the treatment site.

However, COVA is designed to be evenly absorbed and broken down within the skin tissue, which can alleviate these concerns.

COVA is composed of biocompatible PDO (Polydioxanone), which slowly breaks down within the human body.

Filler procedures, especially when applied to areas like the eyes or around the mouth,

where the skin is particularly thin,

may sometimes carry the risk of the treated area being visible or over-corrected.

COVA aims to provide natural volume improvement even in these sensitive and thin areas.

Serious side effects rarely reported with filler procedures, such as vascular occlusion or embolism, are not known to occur with COVA procedures.

This can be considered a significant advantage in terms of procedure safety.

In addition to inducing collagen production,

COVA provides a physical support structure, allowing for some volume improvement immediately after the procedure.
