MCLPE technology.

Techderm's staged cross-linking. A gel that lasts, with less residue and better glide. The same chemistry across the five Sofiderm lines.

Why it mattersLasts months, not days

Free hyaluronic acid disappears in 24 to 48 hours. Cross-linked in stages, it resists hyaluronidase and holds water for 6 to 24 months, depending on the line.

SafetyLess cross-linker in the gel

Over-cross-linking leaves residue and a rigid gel. MCLPE cross-links in phases and purifies at the end.

In the needleFirm in tissue, fluid in the syringe

Microgel bound to free HA: support where injected and glide in the needle. The difference is in the manufacturer specification, not a clinical promise.

The process

Five stages, one chemistry.

Multiphase Cross Linking & Purification Enhancement, as described by the manufacturer.

01Long-chain HAPharmaceutical-grade raw material, by fermentation. Low allergenic potential.
02Multiple HA + BDDE reactionThe cross-linker binds the chains in several successive reactions, not just one.
03Multiple purificationDialysis in PBS and swelling remove free cross-linker and by-products.
04Gel particulationThe cross-linked gel is calibrated into particles of controlled size.
05Microgel + free HA bondingUnder mechanical force and heat, the microgel binds to non-cross-linked HA: cohesivity and glide.
The result

What the clinic gains.

01Molecular reconstructionCross-linking rebuilt in stages, not in a single reaction.
02A stronger HA networkReinforced intra- and intermolecular bonds: the gel holds.
03Higher purityLess residual cross-linker in the final gel, per the manufacturer’s process description.
04Balanced performanceMechanical strength with glide in the needle and biocompatibility.
Five lines

What changes between the lines.

Same concentration, 20 ± 3 mg/ml, same cross-linking. The manufacturer tunes cohesivity to each injection plane and the needle follows. The doctor chooses the plane; the rest is decided.

Cohesivity and duration, per line

Indicative cohesivity. Duration per the manufacturer. Hover over each line to see the plane and the needle.
